I have the code to unlock my Xperia S, got it for free from my provider
But I do not have an "locked" sim card.
How do I enter the code then?
Just pop in any other SIM and it'll ask you to enter the unlock code.

Damn.. I want to unlock my bootloader now.
Or, if you must unlock it now, go ask someone who has another provider for their SIM for a few seconds.
problem solved. Next time post this in the Q&A section.

Yes that would be a solution, but it makes it alittle harder to get hold of a micro sim..
Oh sorry, tought that was like a FAQ section. Maybe a mod could move it?
You won't be unlocking the bootloader I don't think, just the sim lock on the phone.

Sim unlocking the phone doesn't seem to have anything to do with the bootloader unlock. And if you don't have another SIM card, then you probably don't have to even SIM unlock your phone in the first place.
There are some users on this forum which claimed SIM unlocking the phone will get rid of the bootloader lock as well. I have unlocked my phone, and have proven this to be false. Strangely, whenever I questioned the users for their proof they never posted it.

You are right. I don't actually need to remove the sim lock. But I read somewhere that the bootloader became unlockable when the sim lock was removed.
But if that wasn't true for you, it probably won't be for me neither..
Doing a SIM unlock will not unlock the bootloader. Both are unrelated. As long as there isn't a test point method you will not be able to unlock the bootloader.

#073887* didn't work with my AT&T Atrix HD running 77.12.22.MB886.ATT.en.US (Android 4.0.4), nor my son's AT&T Samsung a157. I've seen elsewhere that this worked for some people, but I don't recall their brand/model.

I want to buy it for my T-mobile sim. Is it possible to unlock it? If so how? And do I need to do anything special to my T-mobile sim if I can unlock it. Thanks.

Wrong section, this should be on the Q&A Section, and yes, i read somewhere you can now unlock Verizon XPlay via Sony unlock site, and if not, you can always use testpoint method(payed method)

I've purchased the Straight Talk (Tracfon) Samsung Galaxy S2 Model SGH-S959G. However, the sim is locked. Is there anyway that I can unlock it and also root the phone?
Please help me.

That thread shows how to install a new kernel on the device, which is great. But does that mean it is also unlocked (besides rooted)?
Thanks

Nope, there used to be an app to unlock it, downloaded it from google play store, but I think you can only find it here at xda developers now.
I think you need to Odin the i777 firmware to it before you can use the app to unlock.

Try this: http://m.wikihow.com/Unlock-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-(S2)
That isn't helping, I found this already on my own. But thanks.
It must be "FREE" the method of unlock code or else I can take it anyway to a phone shop...
