I will be spending the next few weeks in Prague and so have bought a Czech SIM card. When I put it into my phone it says that I need to unlock the phone, do I get the unlock code from my uk network (EE) or from the Czech network?
When to unlock a phone - abroad

EE will give you a code its nothing to do with the Czech network.
Unlock code from EE is £8-99p but you might get a code from EBay for a lot less.
That’s said I bought a Nokia 635 from EE about 4 months ago and the EBay unlockers wanted £22
to unlock it but the same model had it been locked to o2 or Vodafone would have cost less than £2 however the phone was £20 cheaper on EE so swings and roundabouts.
In a way I got it unlocked for free in the end by using the compulsory top up that came with the phone.
