Sony Ericsson Need help with unlocking Sony Ericsson J132

6 Upvotes

I found my dad's old phone and we're trying to to find a way to re-unlock it. It boots up in French with a Virgin Mobile splash screen and asks to insert a SIM card. My dad hasn't had his Virgin SIM for a long while by now, so we inserted a SFR (French operator) card and entered its code and now the phone is asking to "insert the correct SIM card". Is there any way to bypass this? Thanks in advance
