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.

Hello my friends, I need your help
I had bought a mobile x10a from canda
i bought it from a telecommunications company at $ 240
Is a device used is not new
The problem is that the device does not accept any SIM CARD .. Only offering from the company
So .. I've bought from the company code to make the device work on any sim card at $ 35
The company is a code that puts in the phone and I'm not I who put it
Mobile version 1.6 ... So .. I want to update to 2.3.3
Can I do it without problems??? Or will I need to buy a new one to break the code
What is your opinion in this problem?? ... Please help me
I think SIM Card lock will not affect the update process. Be easy my friend.

Code has been developed by the company and I do not have a copy of it
This is the last comment I will make on this topic it is getting annoying now. The code is PERMANENT. I know that because...that is what the code is supposed to do. PERMANENT UNLOCK. It doesn't matter if you root it, update it, go back to 1.6 or go to 2.1 or go to 2.3.3. It will ALWAYS STAY UNLOCKED. Please stop asking questions over and over again. If you do not believe me than that is your problem.
thank my friend for you comment

If you want a unlocked phone you need to buy it simfree sorry! Here is the wrong forum for such stuff, ask in unlocked forums for it.

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

you know why they don't understand
you ask for untherer the phone, that doesn't excist
you need to ask for sim-unlocking the phone.
no other way for now

And even if you explain them they don't know they are stupid people :-S
Yes i want to free the network for any provider in android each time I put a SIM ask me the SIM network code

The most reliable service. Just make sure you have enough counts to unlock.
In addition to the above poster's URL, there's also http://www.cellunlocker.net/sony-ericsson-unlock.php
I provided the AT&T link first because it's free to unlock. If AT&T gives you a hard time, I'd go with cellunlocker.

Know what? If it's reliable? Trust me I've done lots of them with these guys. Very reliable, very fast. Read reviews of them.

The carrier the device is locked to. For me I'd have to get in touch with O2 to unlock my device for example.

Wait let me think.... sim lock is carrier related in that your device only allows certain sims. Therefore your device is locked down to a carrier, unless I've completely misunderstood!

Its working for only one company sim cards. So yeah if I dont have this sim card from this company it wont work.. There is way to pay like o 4-5$ to unlock it. But wanted to ask if there is any free solution.
Otherwise I will have to pay ;(

I'm glad that you are doing well, good luck to you.
You would have to contact the carrier, who's brand is on your device for the cell network unlock code.
