By law, operators in portugal only unlock free of charge if the phone is not within the contract time which is usually 2 years

Yeah, I know that.. but my phone is new (nem 1 ano tem sequer), that's why I need an alternative..

There are only free methods for phones, which are four or five years old, and maybe your provider can do it for you when your contract is over.
If you want to unlock it now, just search a bit on Google, or PM to Blagus, with this way you can find at least really cheap ones.
LuisDias, blagus makes the best price you can find..
Hello,
I used the fastgsm.com website which works the following way:
- you pay for credits, (40USD for X8) and then they send you user/password for the unlock software client
- you download the drivers and the unlock client to you PC and do as it is written
I followed the instruction but the progress stopped after reading out my mobile.
This cause me to problems: they consider I used up the credits.
I got my mobile still locked and what is even worse now it locked for everything.
With my original T-mobile simcard I can not attach to any network.
All I can do is search the network but can not attach to any (not even the Home network)
After all this I made a software upgrade on my mobile with PC companion, but I still the same problem, it locked for everything.
Have any of you had the same problem?
Many thanks for any response!

Ouch. I don't have this experience but I recommend you PM Blagus for unlock since your phone is now screwed.

WoW! In my country the contract is for 1 year, i think is a lot, but 2 OMG! Too hard to change quickly your mobile xD
For me, I think I was lucky. My phone was locked on my network only, then I rooted it, installed custom ROM blah blah, and voila, it unlocked, wtf? I was very surprised, it asks me for unlock code, but I can bypass this screen and phone registeres on other networks with other SIM cards, I don't know if it was luck or something else considering that I've unlocked it somehow.

what ROM did u use?
Gsmliberty.com
Also, Three, as far as I know DO give unlock codes but you must of used a certain amount of phone credit (€200 , I think). Or had it at least 2 years
My dad got it off three Ireland, last summer after about 5 calls.
It is possible...

Meteor told me they have to contact SE to get unlock code and I must spend €120 before they will request it, I see your network is Meteor, is your x8 locked? if I get mine unlocked I will pm the code to you, same network, device and country, might be worth a try
Sure. I thought rooting unlocked the simcard.? Am I wrong?!

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

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

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!

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 ?

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

I have the same question as OP. I am about to order a MotoX and will be traveling in 1 month.
Who is RipCo?
For Motorola are more services available,there is a cheaper service that does not work for all phones,but tere is a service for not found phones ,which even if is a bit more expensive ( around 12$) should unlcok your phone

Let me see if I understood correctly, you bought your Moto X from motorola's website (in the Design Yours section), customized your phone and at the end you choosed Carrier -> ATT -> No Contract (that's 499$) and you got it to work in your country?

Thanks a lot!
Just got myself an AT&T Moto X. I am in India right now and dont see any option to e-mail the guys at AT&T. For some reason they want me to register. Can anyone help me out with this? I need to SIM unlock the phone. How do I reach AT&T via e-mail?
This is the AT&T International (+1 916 843 4685) phone number.Can call that 1-2 times if you can and try to convince you to give you a code,but lately seems they do not give codes unless you have or had a contract with them and use the form from their website to request for it. If that is not working can just buy an unlock code should be around 12$

anyone know of a free way to do it?
I don't mind paying but why pay if it's free?

Maybe it was never free for Sony devices, however Galaxy Note, Note 2, S3, S4 were free to unlock.

Hello,
This is my first post on here, I was scrolling through looking for a way to get the glove mode on my xperia z1, but I cant find anything about it.
Anyway, I bought codes off two different websites and both ended up refunding me and saying that they couldn't get the code.
I went on eBay and bought a code for $30CAD and it was in my inbox the next day and worked fine. The guy that sells them is very nice too. His eBay username is rakeshb10.
Look him up and get your unlock code there. You can check his feedback before you buy it, he has all good feedback.
Oh and some websites say you need to put in a SIM card from another carrier to enter the unlock code, that's actually alot more work. Just open your dialer and type *#*#SIMLOCK#*#*
Obviously use the numbers instead of letters, I just can't recall them right now. You just click network lock and enter the code and your good to go. Make sure you get the code first because you only get so many attempts to enter the code. If you enter the wrong one and use up all your attempts, your phone will be locked out.
I am attaching a screenshot of the SIMLOCK app and proof that mines unlocked. I also just got this phone on a two year contract just weeks prior to unlocking it. I'm staying with Bell for now though.
Hope I helped.
