You have to unlock bootloader in order to do that. Read the thread about SE tweaker tool in the mini/pro development section also check out xxxlordxxx's thread about his one click tool.

Can you really confirm this... It's the first time I heard about that, and would provide a free way to unlock xperias,

AFAIK, no...
There exists two kind of locks,
SIM Locks (that lock the carrier), there is no free way to do this.
Cheaper way I found is the one unlock credit from Omnius, but you will be unable to unlock the bootloader. Same thing happens with several "unlock by software" methods. Read about it before unlocking if you plan to flash CM7 anyway after unlocking
BootLoader Lock, that prevents from replacing the kernel... It's free to unlock. And changing the kernel is required for the unofficial CM7.
Be careful because some unlocks work by patching the firmware, so upgrading it would sim relock.

Well, the device was bought from Vivo carrier, which said the device was unlocked, but I was not able to use sim card from Tim carrier. After flashing miniCM7 it is working. Maybe was a coincidence or bad contact between SIM card and the device. I have no idea how to clarify this now...

When you inserted the other carrier sim, and restarted the phone, did it asked for the unlocking pin code? Did you restart the phone? sim cards can't be hot plugged.

I've sim-unlocked my phone just by using SE updater and updating software from 1.6 to 2.1. Phone was locked to Telenor Serbia. So, what kind of lock was it?
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
It is possibility to unnlock via unlocking bootloader. My phone was locked on tele2. And after i unlock now my phone is sim unlocked. I already try to put in sim cards of other mobile networks.

Thanks a lot for the reply, very informative. I would probably use a paid service but since i bought these phones for 20 eur each, it's almost the price of the phone to unlock it, not really worth it.
Can you expand on BootLoader Lock? I though it did not do that, from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225 third myth says it does not do that. what gives
tried this: unlockbootloader sonymobile com / instructions but my phones don't have the Bootloader Status parameter, guess I'm SOL

Maybe the developer doesn't care since you've slagged off his rom.
I used to be like you until I read Feras statement about "roms he creates as for his use and he shares them for people to try".

Right, so first: Have you unlocked your bootloader?
Second: Is your phone sim-unlocked? (In other words, are you able to use a sim card from another carrier in your phone?)
Third: If you haven't gotten your x10 sim-unlocked you're going to have to relock your bootloader.
Here is the tool to relock your bootloader.
Fourth: Assuming the above is all true, you need to sim-unlock your phone. You can either contact your cell carrier (if you bought the phone from them), or use one of the paid services online. I don't know which service can do it because I went with the cell carrier route
Hope I helped! If I did, don't forget to hit the 'thanks' button

Depends on your bootloader status. If u unlocked bl after SIM-unlock u may have broke radio. Revert back to stock and relock bl then u can start again

I have a problem, which i have just now found out, Before the Jelly Bean update my Xperia P's Bootloader unlock status is allowed ie YES( i checked it myself and also installed cm9 for sometime), but after the update when i tried to unlock bootloader i couldn't do that, when i checked in service menu i found that Bootloader unlock status has changed to NO, how could this happen, pls someone help me to unlock my bootloader.
Does any one facing the same problem?
u r nt alone.. someone else too reported this... why dun u check it ... just flash back ics and see whether it changes or not

is there any way to make it allowed in JB itself?
In my Xperia Go, the Bootloader Unlock status was NO. However, I took the chance and did it anyway. I just followed the instruction to unlock the bootloader and voila! Now the phone's bootloader is unlocked. The only downside is that the phone's data seems to have reset. I don't know whether that was supposed to happen, but I can flash custom kernels now, so the bootloader truly is unlocked.

I didn't do anything special. Like I said, I just took a chance and did it. I have no idea why it worked even though the bootloader unlock status said NO. My phone's unbranded. Maybe Sony slipped up.

Mine One year Old Xperia U problem switched off suddenly yesterday. When i tried restarting , phone boots but display goes blur with only transparent bar glowing.Each time when i press power key phone restarts and goes to same blur mode with glowing transparent bar.
Tried restarting the phones many times but no luck
Repaired phone using PC companion but still the same . Today morning i removed the SIM and phone worked like a charm. Thinking it might be Sim issue have inserted differnt Sim , but still same result.Without Sim, phone is working fine.

I really don't quite understand this issue. You are not the 1st I have seen. My best guess is not software, since you flashed stock rom many times, but I think its with the SIM Card holder.

It seems to ba bug specific to the ROMs b.1.54 also b.1.10 sometimes. Let your phone battery to die completely and then flash a stock Rom, probably c.1.10.ftf and reboot.
and flash the same rom again excluding TA and BASEBAND in flash tool
