phone vodafone, they have a policy IF YOUR PHONE IS OVER 1 YEAR OLD THEY WILL GIVE YOU UNLOCK CODE FOR FREE (must be locked to vodafone) im assuming your on them, i did this the other week YOU MUST SAY YOU BEEN TOLD THAT YOU WOULD GET IT FOR FREE! do NOT use other ways to unlock (certificate change) as this can seriously cause problems further down the line and DOES NOT WORK with rooted phones (I've tried it). IF your not with vodafone then phone your network provider, usually costs between £5 - £20 (my X8 cost me £15 to unlock on 3 and took 1week and a bit maybe 2weeks to get the code on 3) with voda you will usually get the code instantly hope this helps

Okey so i have the problem , because i have x8 less then a year.
If i have custom rom and unlocked bootloader are the certificates are changed ?
Look basically you can't get it done for free and the cheapest way is actually phoning voda

Hi all,
I just brought a Xperia Z on eBay locked to Orange UK network.
Does anyone know where I can get an un-lock code for the phone?
I don't mind paying, just want to find a fast and reliable un-locking service.
Many thanks
P.S. Orange UK needs the phone to be registered for at lest 6 months before they will unlock it. So its no go there.
Has any one used HtcCode.com?
It seems they can unlock the Xperia Z between 1 to 3 days for around £25.
I'd be grateful for any feedback on HtcCode.com.
I'd like to know that as well...
I got the unlock code but don't know where to put the code.. Any ideas?
when you insert another sim card ( other than the one from the carrier you bought the device from) it will ask you to put the unlock code
Is it possible to have free sim unlock?
About to buy a Sony Xperia Z on O2 in the UK. From what I've been reading, it'll be SIM-locked. Just wondering what my options are for unlocking the phone? Has nyaone used HTC Codes before?

Depends how you get it on o2.
If you get it via CarphoneWarehouse, then chances are the phone will be sim unlocked and also bootloader unlockable......However..
Like me if you get this directly from o2 then the device will be locked on both counts...BUT anyone who is on a monthly O2 contract can request to have their phone sim unlocked at anytime during their contract period. Basically just ring them and tell them and within a few days they'll email you your sim unlock code.
It worked for me, and have even tested with a vodafone sim.
OP, I will ask you to read the Forum Rules,

I have got a XZ locked to three. That is not a big deal at the moment since i am on three. I am intending to travel overseas in about 4 weeks and will need it unlocked by then. Is anyone working on a free unlock? Is there any chance there will be one or should i just pay for it?
TIA
Unlocking
After recently buying an Xperia T on O2 only to be told I could not get it unlocked....I am now going to avoid carrier specific phones at all cost.....unlocked devices only from now on. Hope you are more successful, but I wouldn't hold your breath. I now have an unlocked xperia Z.....very happy...
Have you confirmed that your sim is locked ?
dial *#*#7378423#*#* > service info > sim lock > (Have you got a cross in any boxes)
I am waiting for a free method to unlock sim. Is there any improvement ?

I've been waiting since I had an X10, so I very much doubt you'll get it.
Hello, i'm considering in buy a brand new Z3C online (from my carrier discount program), how ever i can't use any device without CM13. I wonder if any Z3C can have the bootloader unlocked.. and if not, if someone have a way to unlock the bootloader without the Sony method.
I can't check if the device i want to buy can be or can't with the dialer code as it would be bough online.
Impossible to say, if it's a sim free network unlocked device they supply then there's a good chance it'll be unlockable. The only network I know of that supply sim free network unlocked device's for both payg and contract are three UK. Without checking the device before buying it's a lottery basically.

Thanks. In the past, my carrier was well know to be the only one in the country with unlock devices that they sell and contract free. I'll call then and ask if it still is like that (i think so).
Also, a guy said that it is possible to install custom ROM with a locked bootloader... far as i know it isn't true. I'm right, or this guy is?
