NP code.

[bethan3]

What is an NP code? I have just put my new GiffGaff sim into my phone after transferring my number and it keeps asking for an NP code.....What is it?

Thanks

It means you need to unlock your phone.

[lordofangels]

never heard of an np code. could it be phone related, do you have a pin code lock on your phone

does it suggest how many digits this code may be

[syorksdeano sensei]

The NP code is the same as the NUC (Network Unlock Code). The phone is locked to another network and requires a code from them to use another sim from a different operator. 

You can either ask your previous network for a code (which may encounter a charge) or you could always go to a market stall and get it unlocked

Depends what phone you have you may be able to unlock it for free use google and search for it. They have codes which when you enter. Unlocks your phone automatically.

if it is a network code as suggested, what sim provider was in phone afore you put your giffgaff sim in
