The code to read out the sim-lock status of your phone is :
#PW+(MASTERCODE)+(Y)#

MASTERCODE = 1234567890
Y = NUMBER 1 TO 4

The master code is a secret code. The code has 10 digits. It must be computed with a program e.g. SmartDCT4Calc and/or DCT 4 code Calculator from IMEI etc.

"Y" Shows the status of the network-lock. Here you can enter a number from "1" to "4". The "4" is for the sim-card lock.

#PW+1234567890+3# = GIVES COUNTRY-LOCK STATUS
#PW+1234567890+4# = GIVES SIM-CARD-LOCK STATUS
