• However, you have the option of setting up a so-called third-party lock with your provider.
• Dial the short code 2202 at Telekom, Vodafone 1212, O2 55222 or E-Plus 1000.
• There you then indicate that you want to set up a third-party lock for your current mobile phone contract.
• Alternatively, you can have this lock set up at a mobile phone shop on site.
