Yor friends W810i is locked to a specific network

As far a i know the number epresents the amount of times that you have to try to enter a correct unlock code before you permanently lock the phone. It looks like yors was unlocked by a third party and they got it wrong on the first attempt.
I could be wrong though

@arien: jcwhite mentioned what it means(only numbers and network). yours is simlocked. the numbers mean the attempt to unlock them.
