I recently received a Samsung Galaxy A10 from a cousin in the US and when I insert any sim card it says: Network Locked-Emergency Call Only. Help me my friends (Translated)

Hi,

It seems that your phone is locked by the carrier. Either it can only be used in the U.S. or only with the network of the same carrier.

You (or your cousin), must contact the carrier associated with that phone in order to unlock it. Once it is unlocked, you will be able to use any SIM card.

CCM can't help you to unlock it, as stated in this article.

Good luck.
