LTE unlock?

Sorry if this has been asked but what is this? I found it under my devices on MySprint...

That is your SIM card unlock codes. They have been around for years. It's a security feature to protect the customer's information on the card. However, Sprint, afaik, is the first carrier to make it easy for you to obtain these numbers.

Yes, they do not "unlock" the LTE to use on different carriers. They just unlock the SIM card if you happen to lock it on accident. Usually you have to call into Customer Care to get your PUK code, this is the first I've seen the website give it out.

I believe that unlocks the device SIM though, so you can potentially use a foreign SIM if you're traveling.
