The Huawei P9 and P9 Plus may not be the most recognizable Android smartphones of 2016, but they are among the most popular devices out there. Based on Huawei’s reported sales figures, there are more than 10 million units in circulation already.
Huawei has been selling the P9 Plus and the standard P9 as SIM unlocked devices through its site in many countries around the globe, but there are millions of units which have been purchased through service providers which are SIM locked. If that’s the case with your P9 or P9 Plus, you’ll need to purchase a SIM unlock code from a third-party service like Android SIM Unlock, or if you’re eligible, request a free Huawei P9 SIM unlock code from your service provider if you want to use it within another SIM card while traveling or if you switch service providers.
