Have you contacted the carrier about this? https://forums.androidcentral.com/ask-question/409154-join-android-central-community.html

That means it was a temporary unlock. Carriers will do that if you travel out of the country and need to use a different carrier.

Or What kind of phone is it? Is it older? Maybe it doesnt support GSM and CDMA and won't work on the network you're trying. Read this https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...-bands-and-why-do-they-matter/&token=gBOf-WU6

Verizon, US Cellular, and the old Sprint network (now owned by T-Mobile) used CDMA. AT&T and T-Mobile used GSM.
