Alcatel Y855 router unlocking is possible and its sub-model Y855v is available in Ghana by Surfline carrier. Alcatel Y855v comes with un-customized firmware and after changing the default SIM card with another network provider it asks for NCK code. Once correct NCK is entered, it gets unlocked. Surfline has customized its software and there is no place to enter the APN and users are unable to create a profile after unlocking the device. This post is for those users who have unlocked the device but can’t use any another network SIM card.
- Download Alcatel Y855v router configuration bin file and extract it.
- Connect your device to the computer with USB cable and browse for 192.168.1.1.
