You can visit a Sprint/Nextel repair center and assuming they have the equipment and programs. They can hook your phone up to their computer and read the phone's info which gives the unlock code. However, there is a chance that the subsidy lock can not be removed due to software or incorrect sim cards. If you or someone else has used a Boost sim card for the i850, this could have caused the issue, therefore it can not be fixed.

Do you have a special code to use a i850 Nextel sim card in a i855 boost phone.

The code is a subsidy lock... it can be removed by your local cell phone repair center...It is usually not User removable because it requires special software

How do you unlock the phone from subsidy lock

The phone has to be active and you'll need to call Nextel Care and ask them for the PUK. They should be able to walk you through a series of button pushes that will allow you to enter the PUK code and change the code to something you want.

Subsidy code for i850

Sorry there are no subsidy codes for the i850. This means that you have used the wrong type of SIM Card. You can only use a Sprint Nextel or Boost SIM Card in an i850. If you are using a correct SIM card, you will need to have this repaired at a local service center. This is covered completely by Sprint Nextel's ESRP (Equipment Service & Repair Program) and TEP (Total Equipment Protection), and can be done at any Sprint Nextel Service & Repair Location. If you do not subscribe to ESRP or TEP, the charge for the repair will be no more than $55.
