[Q] Xperia Z C6603 Sim Unlock

[mark.m.moran]

Hi, could you help, I'm getting my XZ unlocked by Three, I'm waiting for a unlock code from them...I have gone into this menu and I get 'Network' with an X in and 5 by it.....now when I put my Orange Sim into the phone I don't get an option to put the code in, any ideas? It just has a Red Cross where signal bars are normally.

Thanks

those anyone know a paying system for unlocking sony xp Z?

You could try flashing it so it's factory unlocked or buy a network key if you don't fancy losing warranty

Hi,

I'm new and have a sim-locked o2 xperia. I was wondering how i flash my phone to become sim unlocked, and if it is reverseable if i need to send the phone back for warranty?

Thanks in advance,

Phil.

O2 customers can have any contract hand set they own through the network unlocked for FREE. It states this on their website and is exactly what I did when I upgraded to an Xperia Z.

Hope this helps...

After a quick search I found https://www.o2.co.uk/apps/help/help?qid=1&q1=2&route=unlocking&case=Handset%20Unlocking%20Form - which I've just filled in, so will wait and see what happens next.

Sweet....From my experiance I received an Email within 4-5days with the unlocking code to be used when you try another providers SIM. When I received the code, I put in my friends Orange SIM, entered the code when asked and it worked.

only Three UK charges money for unlocking?

Thanks for the help.

I actually got my phone unlocked for free by o2. My problem was that i bought the phone off a friend the day it came out.

Before this date i contacted o2 about buying a Z and told them that i would be travelling for a year and would need an unlocked phone. I explained that i would either be using a friends contract upgrade or buying a purple pay as you go (i wanted the purple and it was exclusive to o2). They told me that this was not a problem, and if i went for the pay as you go option i could pre order it with them and get it unlocked the day i received it for £15. If i went for the friends contract option then i could get it unlocked for free but would need to keep the contract sim in the phone for a week whilst they unlocked the phone.

I ended up getting the phone from my friend. As i didn't want to inconveniece her i installed a pay as you go o2 sim. I contacted o2 again and they told me to go top up with £20, make a phone call then call them again. They would then unlock it for the £15 from my phone credit.

When i got back to them they then told me that i couldn't unlock the phone for 12 months as that was their policy on pay as you go. They again also comfirmed that i could use the contract sim but it would have to be installed for a week.

I then spoke to a manager on the phone who read my previous online conversations with their reps and told me that they were sorry that i had been misinformed and that there was nothing they could do.

Anyway after a few phone calls and threats to take the matter further i was put through to a manager who then informed me that i had been misinformed again and that they could unlock it without the contract sim installed. So my friend called, gave in her contract details and then within a week i got the code.

So, at the end of the day i got what i wanted, minus £20 that i registered to a sim card. I am certainly not going to deal with O2 again. They misinformed me which in theory would have gained them a sale of a pay as you go xperia z. Then went against their word and would not offer anything other than a sorry even though they could see my correspondence in writing, therefore proving that the mistake was on their hands.

I put in my friends Orange SIM, entered the code when asked and it worked.

Got the email earlier today, forgot I needed a micro SIM but just used my mates Orange SIM too to unlock. =)

Unlocked my Xperia Z with HTCCODE.COM

Unlocking with htccode.com, took a few days to receive the code but it all went great. Will be using it again!
Cheaper than the stores and safer than other sites it seems.

 

[Anhell]

worked like a charm in htccode.com too, took a week or so to receive the unlock codes but it worth the wait

docomo Xperia Z (SO-02)

I also got my docomo Xperia Z (SO-02E) unlocked from htccode.com. It took a week and worked on the first try. I travel a lot for business so this helps greatly :good:

Has anyone ecounter that the Xperia ZL states [x] on the leftside of "network" and "0" to the right? that means theres no more attempts left. I've google it for 2 days, and got nothing but this thread.
Does any one know if theres a way to get more attempts?. The owner of the device told me that she just bought it and that no attemts have been made to unlcok the phone.

Any ideas?

Regards.

Hi,

I've read all the comments about the unlock code from htccode.com and that's great, if you say it's working.

But, can I flash another stock rom to Xperia Z which is unlocked, will that lift the simlock?

Thanks!

 

[kingvortex]

No. Flashing any rom will not affect the sim lock in any way.
The only way to unlock is with a code.
