That means its not unlocked ...
You have to unlock it ...
I think the service provider can gv u the lock code
If not I guess flashing can do that

Hi,
How do I know if my unlocked X10 is a carrier X10 thats been unlocked or a sim-free X10 altogether?
Thanks
Paul
Where did you get it from?
Cex on the high street.

This won't be a definitive answer but it'll help:
In the key lock screen, press the power button to turn the screen on and then while the phone is still locked press menu, back, back, menu, back, menu, menu & back
Then select Service info -> Model info. What does it say in there?
X10i, United Kingdom, O2 Pay Monthly.
I assume the O2 bit is because that's my SIM.

Model info should be...
Model
Country
Brand
...what does it say under brand? If it's been debranded however you're not going to know.
O2 Pay Monthly under brand.
The box from cex was a standard Sony Ericsson one with a small vodafone sticker over one edge.

Pretty obvious then you would think.
Not really. My old HD2 had an O2 sticker but was a factory unlocked version as it was bought from an online retailer.

ALL O2 handsets come factory unlocked, and always have.
As do vodafone handsets.
So its a vodafone phone with o2 firmware on it?!?
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
Who knows? I just thought there might have been a way of finding it from a build number or something.
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
Just had a thought - does the IMEI number of the phone match the label on the box?
hey guys.i have an x10i. build number r2ba026,region:greece and balkans,brand:costumized.
what does this means? i'll get the update when it will appear for greece or i could flash the nordic one without having any problems later.thx

It's clearly a Vodafone handset that's been unlocked and he's using an O2 simcard.
Vodafone phones are factory unlocked also.
And he maybe using a o2 simcard, but the firmware is definately o2 branded!

Not the ones I've owned in the past, I've only ever known O2 to provide their phones unlocked.
They have only been factory unlocked in the last few years. I used to work for Vodafone
I bought my sgs3 GT i9300 from the agent in Singapore ,but there are some singtel carrier apps so i want to know if it is a network unlocked or locked phone and if it is the international version and why there are some carrier apps
thanks in advance!
Depends on where your bought it from....e.g if purchased from an o2 store the device will be locked to o2, whereas if purchased from phones4u or carphone warehouse the device will generally be sim free

In Singapore, all phones are sold unlocked by law. Most likely, it is unlocked.

is this way safe? and everything must be off in the list to be an unlocked phone right?

There are no xperia s devices locked to AT&T. AT&T does not sell the XS and any XS sold through a US retailer is sold unlocked.

The only way you can unlock any Sony 2012 device is through the carrier. If your friend is in the UK, ask him to do that. Also selling devices while on contract is against ToS on most carriers so he might have to cancel his beforehand.

Anybody found anywhere to unlock the z2 mine is locked to vodafone uk cheapest I can find is £15 on ebay
Ask Vodafone directly, they charge for payg but on contracts they will submit a simlock request free if you ask nicely enough. Just explain you use another network for work stuff but want it on the same phone so need to swap sims. Works 90% time.

In Australia you can just unlock it by going to their website, I'm assuming you could do that in the UK as well.
