Microsoft sends recovery and lock-out codes to the phone on file.
Equatorial Guinea is Africa’s only Spanish-speaking country, split between Bioko island and the mainland region around Bata. Its economy is built on offshore oil and gas, bringing in foreign engineers and contractors. A +240 number helps them, and Equatoguineans living in Spain, stay connected with people in Malabo.
