Hi Everyone
Picked up a Xperia Z its on the C6603 firmware and I believe its locked to T-Mobile as when I try another sim its comes up as saying sim card not provisioned MM2, however when going to the system info screen using the dial pad and then sim lock all the numbers on the right for network etc are on 0 and there are no crosses in any of the boxes on the left, so was hoping maybe you could tell me if its unlocked or not and if so where I could get it unlocked thanks and sorry if this is posted elsewhere but couldn't find it.
You could try flashing it so it's factory unlocked or buy a network key if you don't fancy losing warranty

Hi,
I'm new and have a sim-locked o2 xperia. I was wondering how i flash my phone to become sim unlocked, and if it is reverseable if i need to send the phone back for warranty?
Thanks in advance,
Phil.

Just for people on here questioning how to sim unlock the mobile, you may want to do this quick check first as I had mine on contract from t-mobile UK and paid £20 for a unlock code that I have not received and by doing the following below, I found out it was already unlocked so check before you decide to either pay for a code or even flash the mobile.
Dial *#*#7378423#*#* on the keypad to enter the service info and then check (sim lock) (network) , if there is a "X" mark in the square box on the left then it is locked. The number to the extreme right indicates the number of tries left. For example if it is 5 , it means you have 5 tries left.
Also there is apparently a new firmware release from sony today with some suggesting it fixes the bug that killed a few mobiles recently.
Thanks for the advice.
I have already done this and i am network locked. Any chance you could keep me update as to whether you ever receive your code?

instead of a number like 5 tries left.... I got unlimeted .. Why ? however, ww. htccode.com solved my sim locked sony xperia z problem.
HTCCODE.com
I just got my DOCOMO Xperia Z (SO-02E) Unlocked using HTCCODE.com. The cost was $40 and it did take about a week to get my code but it worked as advertised, and the personnel on the companies live chat support were great to deal with.
If you are looking to unlock your Xperia Z and don't mind waiting a few days for your code I would recommend HTCCODE.com
Is it possible to have free sim unlock?

Does that means if the square boxes is empty on all fields, it simply means its already unlocked or no restrictions?
YES - its UNLOCKED POP in ANOTHER SIM AND IT WILL WORK!

Yes my friend. ...
And by the way ... just got mine from 3 and it is locked unlike yours!
So any wiz could confirm (even though I am quite sure that it's not possible) ...If i put a stock Rom on the device (thus de-branding it) . Do I get the device sim unlocked as well ?
Regs

Unfortunately not. I'm using an unbranded custom rom and I'm still sim locked.

Hi, could you help, I'm getting my XZ unlocked by Three, I'm waiting for a unlock code from them...I have gone into this menu and I get 'Network' with an X in and 5 by it.....now when I put my Orange Sim into the phone I don't get an option to put the code in, any ideas? It just has a Red Cross where signal bars are normally.
Thanks
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,
1. Search before posting. Use one of our search functions before posting....
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.
So many may be wondering the same as me. What is the best place online to get a sim unlock code for the T-mobile USA Sony Xperia Z Model ID (C6606)? Meaning what is the best third party site that any of you have attempted to get a sim unlock code from and have been successful. T-mobile will not give me the code. Sony will not give me the code. How much did you pay? What is the URL? How long did it take to get the code?
Shokouhi
you can try cellunlocker.net they took about a week tho, i got mine unlocked from there
There has to be a free way. Can If flash some international radios and call it a day?
There's no free way to sim unlock. The sim lock status is stored in a protected area (the TA partition) and cannot be unofficially altered.

Call T-Mobile US if you are a customer. They will do it for free.

I don't mind paying for the service, but I don't want to get ripped off either.
I think that is what poster is asking, whats a reputable site for acquiring SIM unlock codes?
I've ordered Sony xperia z c6603 from UK. Seller told me that it was unlocked, but it wasn't. It asks me for a pin code when I insert a local sim card. How can i unlock it? And can i flash another rom for this phone and will it be unlocked then? Help please!!! I don't wanna spend me money for unlocking it.
The only way is to get an unlock code, either from the original carrier (unlikely as you aren't the original owner) or from an online seller.
Flashing another rom will not network unlock your phone.
I suggest you return it if you don't want to pay to have it unlocked, as it was falsely advertised.
