http://www.sony-offer.com/ - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so the site is giving some more info at the moment:
http://www.sony-offer.com/
Could someone that has a XZ enter their IMEI and tell me if the offer is UK only or not, it would not only help me but I bet it would also help plenty of other people that aren't in the UK.

Are you sure this is official? Looks rather fishy to me.

Point 13, only in the uk

It also seem to be only available if you got your phone sim free from Asda or Tesco, still trying my luck tho.

Be nice just to get the phone through the door.

So true just a few more days now.

If it were fake then Sony would have brought it down ages ago, because people would really be able to hurt Sony this way.

Yeah, but I don't think that they ship outside of the UK

Asda seem to have stopped the deal.

Xperia T now for sale at in Canada

Xperia T (with LTE)
Rogers have it listed on their website, and it has LTE. $99 with 3-year plan, $525 with no commitment.
I did call Rogers and tried to get one for use on AT&T, but no, they don't sell unlocked phones! 1-800 Rogers1 (764-3771).
http://www.rogers.com/web/link/wire...ductId_Detailed=XPERIATBLK&N=52+11+4294920246.
Bell has it listed with LTE. $99 with 3-year plan, and $549 no term/no contract. I called them too (sorry America, NOT unlocked!) Bell phone number: 1-888-466-2453.
http://www.bell.ca/Mobility/Products/Sony-Xperia-T#
Xperia T (non-LTE)
Mobilicity has it for $499, NO LTE! along with an assortment of monthly plans. 1 (877) 866-2458.Yebo, they are locked too! Can you believe that?
http://mobilicity.ca/contact-us/
Expansys Canada has it for $569. This in the non-LTE version. This is unlocked, folks. But if you are not in Canada, might as well get one from your local expansys.
http://www.expansys.ca/sony-xperia-t-android-smartphone-black-unlocked-236113/
These are CANADIAN sources. Getting it from "alibaba dot com" and "tumbuktu online" does not count as for sale in Canada, folks. Lots of sources in UK, Europe and Asia, the list would be unmanageable.
Go ahead! You can THANK me now, not later!

Does anyone know if the bootloader on the Rogers Xperia T is unlockable? I know they had the Ion locked down .... just wondering if I should sign a 3 year and cancel it (its cheaper the buying it outright) and unlocking it or to order an international one. They are currently back ordered here so I can't even go and check :s

Highly doubt it. My rogers branded arc is locked so I wouldn't see why they would unlock the T bootloader. Unless they have a sudden change of heart.

If you are talking about the phone itself, I ordered it via Rogers wednesday morning, could have received it yesterday evening but wasn't home. So I picked it up at a UPS store this morning
Your best bet is to order it I think for now, no stores have it as far as I know

Did you use the 3$ off coupon ? i ended up with a total of US$524.98. Don't forget to post if you had to pay duty & tax ... will wait for your answer before ordering
The rogers stores in my town don't have the dummy device yet and only have one phone in inventory.
Does this count?
Edit: cannot post urls yet. expansys.ca and look for Xperia T.

Doesnt look like the LT30a because there's no LTE bands in the technical details section. Probably the LT30p.

[Q] nexus 6 does not detect any SIM card

Hi!
my Nexus 6 detects no SIM card, I bought it used and with this problem. I'm from Europe and I suspect that the phone could come from US . This could have something to do ?
What can I do?
Thank you very much !
European sims work in North American version fine.. Sounds like a faulty sim tray. Send it back.

I asked for price of sim card reader change repair in a local Repair shop and it is around 30 to 50€, good news if this is the solution!

First find out what your carriers settings are, like the APN settings. See if it's gsm cdma.. You can try going in the phones settings and checking them out open the dialing pad and *#*#4636#*#* and look around.
hi, thank you for your response, that menu was the first thing i tried lol, i put an o2 sim in and i got it to show the H symbol next to the signal bars which still had a cross on them, it also auto installed the apn settings other than that, no change

You cannot unlock the SIM card with a code from anywhere online it doesn't work that way because number one the SIM card in these phones is only to allow the phone to get LTE internet speeds number two the MEID is how the phone gets service not just the SIM card cause you can remove the SIM card and the entire phone will still work just without LTE number three you can't insert another carriers SIM card and then have the phone ask you to enter the unlock code because the phone will never ask for that code when you put another SIM in there it will just say invalid SIM card and nothing else and number four, the phone is unlocked via uicc and has to be done on the carriers side not some unlocking websites code....

No. Because many people have gotten the unlock codes and not a single person can find a way for the phone to ask for it. Of course he IS in Europe and their rules are different there so he may have, who knows.

It could be a legitimate unlocking site that he used and expected it to work with his 510 (which they probably don't say that they don't support it), in which case he can probably convince them to refund his money.
Or it could be a scam site, in which case he'll have to do a charge-back or something to get his money back.
Also, he could take it to his current carrier but given the evidence of previous users, they won't unlock and program it for their network because the likelihood of them being able to is slim to none.

You can get a device in Mexico, and it would be a 950F Exynos with 128 GB, if you get it from official sources, color options are black and orchid gray
if you travel a lot then maybe a dual sim could be handy, if you got it in Europe you would have the 24 months warranty, got my dual sim on amazon uk but I know that Denmark only sell Dual-Sim models
