Put in a sim in your phone that's not the same as the 1 you have in it for eg/ your on o2 network try putting orange network and see if u can phone out if so your unlocked to any network if not your locked to that network

[Q] unlock bootloader in SIM locked phone

I couldn't find anything by searching the older threads so here is my question:
Is it possible (and reasonably save) to try and unlock the bootloader in a SIM locked x8? Just to clarify: I don't want to remove the SIM lock from my phone - I'm happy with my current provider. I'm just wondering if I can unlock the bootloader while I still have a SIM lock on my phone.
All the threads about unlocking seemed to be concerned about how the phone was SIM unlocked rather than whether it was actually necessary...
Thanks a lot in advance..!
anyone please?
I just want to know if I can unlock my bootloader while I still have a SIM lock in place. Or will I brick my phone then? I don't want to remove the SIM lock. Just flash a custom kernel so I can get proper wifi tether...
same question... now,why is necessary have unlocked by operator the phone ???
is very maddening D:
so so please developers unlock bootloader with phone locked by operator, many peoples will thank you

Your phone is locked to a carrier. To use it on another carrier you have to get an unlock code.

[Q] Unlocked xperia Z1 network locked because of flashing Branded Firmware

i have a Sony Xperia Z1. the model number is C6906. i bought it directly from Sony and its Unlocked . it was working on every sim card. But i flashed the C6906 firmware of the other branded network provider. now it's network locked with that network provider. it only works with the sim card of that network. when i put any other sim card, the dialog box appears and it tells to insert network unlock code. when i contact that network, they told me to get their sim card and use it for 90 days. then they will provide me the unlock code. why should i have to use their sim card for 90 days to get the unlock code, because my phone is already factory unlocked from sony. i went to 3rd party websites which provide network unlock codes. but they didn't find the unlock code for my phone, because that phone is not present in the database of that network provider. that means i can only get the unlock code from that network code by using their sim card for 90 days. but that network is not working in my area. please suggest how can i make it unlock again as it was before ? i will be very thankful
flashing FTF files will not affect the SIM lock status of a phone.
It will neither lock an unlocked one nor will it unlock a locked one.

i flashed the firmware of Rogers for my unlocked xperia z1 C6906, which was Branded Firmware. my phone was working fine with all sim cards. but few days ago i put the sim card of rogers, the phone automatically restart and also install some rogers network apps in phone menu. after that when i put other sim card, the network unlock code dialogue box appears. it means that phone got locked with rogers now. the rogers technicians said me if you flashed rogers branded firmware, then if you ever put rogers sim card in it, then device will locked to rogers even if its unlocked from sony.
well, not sure how that works as its the first time I ever heard that happening. Not that I don't trust operators but I often find they do not know what they are talking about when it comes to the kind of things we do here at XDA
But, if what you say is true, flashing another FTF will NOT help.

can xda developers develop any software for that ? so that the network unlock code dialog box disappear and phone reset with original factory unlock setting

that is not really what we do here. there are loads of websites for that, and rogers say they will give you an unlock code in 90 days anyway.

thanks for leasen my question and trying to help me
The LG G2 is NOT a SIM/carrier locked device, no recent Verizon Global device is, even if it was there is no ROM that can fix that, that information is not touchable by flashing a ROM.
Insert your SIM, setup the APN settings, and make sure it is set to Global or GSM/UMTS, reboot, and you should be good to go, the only thing you will get is an unrecognized SIM error on the lock screen and notification pull down, but it works fine. People are are using the vs980 on a host of GSM carriers around the world.
