Well said mate
They need all the other countries to find all the bugs so sammy can fix them and give us a good rom.

Or nearer the truth, they take a nice backhander from the networks so they can say that it's better to get your new phone with a contract with us then spend your money on a sim free phone...!

If you're really that bothered you would have flashed another region. Or even flashed O2 LP3, Which, if you use Intratechs version is as good as Unbranded.
I gave up waiting and put the Poland LPS on yesterday, works fine and has the UK (XEU) and CPW UK (CPW) csc's in it anyway.
Does seem like they have poo pood the early adopters. Eaten bread is soon forgoton.

I must admit, I was wondering the same thing.
I've got stock 2.3.4 phone, don't want to root really, just want to update to ICS but everytime I check it's not there. I'm confused I must admit as I thought it was being rolled out.
you dont need a sim free version, theres nothing wrong with the current leaks.
just install one of those and your good to go.
why not to root it?
much easier to use anything on it.
even my manager when he saw my rom and soft i got inside he gave me the phone and said: 'do the same with mine'
I've even unlocked his phone and he is very happy
in case you can always come back to original
Has anyone else got this yet? The sim free UK ICS that is?
I don't get it, am I doing something wrong, everytime I check it says no update yet

Why are you posting this message on here, this has been discussed many times and this is XDA, why not just flash yourself a ICS rom they work perfectly fine.
Samsung have said that sim free will get it after all carriers have started to push it out and not all of them have.

i need the number to check if Telenor gives out unlocking codes to xpera ray. Please send it on PM if you dont wanna post it in the thread.
Why don't you give your IMEI ? Btw, nobody can give to someone else his IMEI or he could be in trouble.

Ask Telenor if they give out unlock codes for their phones they will either say yes or no. It doesn't matter what brand the phone is as they are all unlockable but at the discretion of the carrier which they are locked too, so ask Telenor before you buy. Don't expect anyone to give you their phones imei number because its no different from asking for someones bank card details as far as phones imei go.

Hello Guys
I have a stupid question, can someone tell me how to unlock Xperia S so that I will be able to use any sim from any network? I have a chance to buy Xperia S on Monday but it is locked to 3 network in UK and I'm currently in Tesco Mobile. Please can someone help asap. Thanks
Maybe if you flash a world generic firmware.
Next time ask in Q&A forum.

Is that it? God I thought it will be much harder because I couldn't find it anywhere how to do it. The only way to do it I found was to buy an unlock code for £44 . Sorry for posting here, next time I will write in Q&A if I will have a problem like that. Thanks for your help

I just phoned o2 as they are my network provider and they gave me the unlock code, put a different SIM card in from a different network and put in the code.
I thought they had to.

Ask your carrier to unlock it.

But I'm buying it from someone who just got his upgrade but he doesn't want it so do you think they will do it for me too?

For most carriers it's against the contract to resell locked devices.

That's why I am informing you. If you ask them to unlock a phone that was sold as a contract violation, it won't do you any good.

There is a way, called ezSEMC. But it costs $40, but it also unlocks bootloader. I can't link yet, but its microunlocker (.) com

This would be the case if the original person bought it with contract. But if he got it sim free( pay as you go), then it is legal.
To answer the original question, the only way is to phone three themselves and ask for unlocking code, I think it is 20-30 pounds
I recently bought the Xperia U for my partner that was locked to the 3 network. They will unlock it, BUT the person on the contract will have to make th call and they will supply him with the code, can take up to a week for it as it comes from Sony themselves. I think the cost was about £15 for it.
Thread moved to Q & A section.
Right sorry if this is in the wrong section, and i do apologies.
Anyway, bought a locked O2 UK one x+, just had the code from O2 UK to unlock the phone, all has worked fine the phone is now not locked to any network.
Just a quick question now, i haven't rooted my phone yet, but if and when i do, and if things do go wrong, will i still have to use the UK O2 RUU or can i use the European Stock Rom RUU ??
Thanks for your time, regarding this matter.

i would stick with the o2 RUU for now, but it don't hurt to try a Euro Stock RUU and let us know the results, worst case it wont flash
Thanks Lloir, will try it on the weekend. Will download both versions just to be on the safe side.
Check your cid mate, if its the same as the cids listed in the android-info.txt in the generic euro RUU, your good to go.

Do you know how to extract the rom.zip from a RUU? Inside the root of the rom.zip is a txt file, read that for the list of compatible cids. But if yours starts 02, it's prob not gunna be compatible

Hey there,
Sorry for the silly question, I bought the same phone from the same store and I wondered how you managed to unlock it, what is this O2 UK Code?

I know what he means, but how did he managed to unlock the phone without losing his warranty? Moreover, he says "just had the code from O2 UK to unlock the phone", where do you get that code from? That is my question. =)

Go to the O2 website, search for unlocking, and just fill the form out, and i received my code within 24 hrs, or just do what Andrhero said phone them up.

I had an O2 handset unlocked but as it was purchased off someone else they wouldnt unlock it (Grrrr!) so i ended up purchasing an unlock code from eBay for £15.
If you want to know the seller PM me due to rules against posting that kind of information.

Hey guys, there will be some way to make my xperia P untethered, so you can use with ANY company?
Because for example I use with Telcel currently, but if you stick a Movistar SIM asks me the network key and I have no idea where or how do I get it?
you mean unlocked?
yes, pay some money for unlocking, your provider will do it then
