Is it possible to sim unlock an O2 mini s, to the 3 network. I have hunted about on a lot of forums but cannot see an answer.
I have used lokiwiz to unlock and it will accept orange sims, innit.
sigh

I'm looking for the Xperia Mini Pro, but to work on the Bell Mobility Network, and I'm incredibly confused now, how many versions there are of this phone on ebay.
Will the link above be able to work with Bell Mobility?
My friend has the 900/2100 version, and the sim is actively rejected, and I don't want to have that problem =)
Thanks.
afaik the phones supports every band. Could it be possible that you friend uses a simlocked device/sim?
The big amount of these phones on ebay results certainly of the strange way of naming the devices as the previos version was the xperia x10 mini pro. The current on is the same name without x10. Without pro are the devices without hardware keyboard etc.
You should search for sk17i what is the working name of the xperia mini pro and your results should be better

I don't think it's sim locked because she bought it in Hong Kong, and I can get a 2G signal on it with my Rogers sim card, but when she tries using her Bell sim card it actively refuses it.
I called bell and they said that the phone is not on the same band as their network.
My guess is because Bell doesn't use GSM, but uses HSPDA.
I think the Sk17 has two versions, the SK17 and the SK17i, and perhaps another one. One is quad band, one is tri band and the other is duo band.
To work on Bell or Telus in Canada requires SK17a model, SK17i will not work since as Bell rep told you, the latter is not on the correct band (requires UMTS/WCDMA/3G on 850/1900, the "i" has 900/2100).
Related question—how about T-Mobile in the US? I just bought a Mini Pro, but it seems like it drops the network every couple of minutes before picking it back up. My old G1 used to work perfectly in the same location, so it shouldn't be a reception issue...
Hey there.
I bought a sim locked SK17a from Rogers.
Went to one of those GSM stores in Vancouver, and got a carrier unlock code for $50.
Phone sim unlocked, and can use the Bell network.
Had to manually enter the APN details to access 3G, when I inserted my Bell Sim.

Hello, I have an android Sony Xperia Arc, I bought it in Mexico but now I'm in australia and when I use a sim from here (yes optus) it says that I have to enter the Sim network unlock pin. My question is: how do I know the PIN? or is there any other solution so I can use the optus sim with my mexican phone?
These forums are not for sim-unlocking your phone, but the steps you could take are:
!: Ask your Mexican provider for the emma/imei code to unlock your phone. (That may be free if you bought your phone on contract and your contract has expired)
2: Use the Omnius-software to sim-unlock your phone (You will have to pay)
3: Take it to a shop to have it unlocked (You will have to pay)
Good luck.

Does the message come after you've typed the actual pin? If yes, you can click "dismiss", and access your phone.

Can an IUSACELL (AT&T Mexico) phone be used on AT&T in the US without unlocking?
I recently bought a lot of 5 Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pros on ebay. I only needed one of them, so now I want to sell the rest of them. The thing is they are carrier locked to IUSACELL, a Mexican carrier who was bought out by AT&T to become part of AT&T Mexico. My question is can these phones be activated on American AT&T in the US without having to unlock them? Thanks in advance.
