I'm heading to greece on my honeymoon monday. Coming from my blackberry days I know the phone had to be unlocked first to work overseas. I just want to make sure if I get to greece I can use a prepaid card opposed to Verizon's ridicuolous overseas plans they offer. I'm using a rooted gingersense tomorrow if that matters.

What you could try is asking VZW for the unlock code, when you place another sim in it will ask for code and then sim unlock. Otherwise have to use xtc clip.

yea XTC clip is one way, and like mentioned above, call verizon they will help you out with anything you need.
you can also buy an unlock code if you can't get it from verizon.
is it possible to use simple mobile on the incredible 2? i know it has a sim card but i am not sure. If i can what steps do i need to take in order to do so. Thanks
You would need to either contact Verizon's global team and have them provide you with the unlock code or you could purchase an unlock code from eBay.

Once you unlock the SIM it should work. I unlocked mine and have been able to use the straight talk Nokia SIM that I had. It works except I don't get 3G connection. EDGE only. Otherwise it works fine. Will come in handy whenever I travel to Mexico next month.

A quick question.
Is there any way to network unlock the xperia play manually, I mean without paying for an unlock code. I've searched google & xda a lot but can't find much on the topic. (This likely means that it can't be done, I know)
But I ask anyway cause I sim unlocked my sister's Galaxy Ace & that was sooo easy, I'm just surprised that it can't be done on the xperia play.
/noob.
All responses appreciated!
No there isn't, contact your network they may do it for free... Unlocking your bootloader also unlocks your sim.

Unlocking your bootloader does not unlock your sim, that's nonsense.

Thanks for the quick replies guys.
Much appreciated.
I heard that it doesn't unlock the sim, I read up on it before posting here cause I'd seen some people posting that it unlocked the sim as well.

No it does not unlock your sim, You obviously don't know what you're talking about.
unlocking bootloader doesnt mean unlocked sim butt yes my sim was unlocked when i unlocked my bootloader through through ominus, it came for free as an extra
Those who say it does, wanna cite a source? Rather than just saying "it does"
Sorry for the confusion, the paid method of unlocking your bootloader does unlock your sim lock - which is why i suggested it(wasn't telling you something irrelevant) , the free method via the sony website does not.
EDIT- http://unlock-bootloader.com/ This websites owned by one of the two people who do unlock bootloader and it says under bootloader unlock it's included with the sim unlock.

Ah I see, thanks.
How do these guys do it? Do they have some kind of hardware tools or inside track? It's just weird to me that we can't unlock the sim ourselves when you can do nearly everything else with phones these days!
They use a software called SEtool or omnius, they have to pay for credits(which are only sold in bundles and so would be wasteful and expensive for somebody unlocking just their bootloader) to use the software which is why they charge you the equivalent- they dont make anything or make little from offering the service.
if it's just sim unlock and you don't want to unlock bootloader and fastboot then you can try here if your phone is At&t :http://sim-unlock.net/sim-lock/99/Unlock_by_code_any_Sony_Ericsson_network_AT&T_USA/
The cost is around $6 USD

Your the one who doesn't know what your talking about, when I unlocked my bootloader my sim lock was gone! Maybe do your research before coming in guns blazing and cutting people down

That's fair enough. But you paid to get your bootloader unlocked right?
I see how you can easily make the correlation.
But as Nabeel alluded to:

Yes but not the way u require

Why not tell your carrier that you are going overseas and want to use your phone and ask them to unlock it I did and T-Mobile sent me the code for my phone at no charge. My problem is coming up with a non-tmobile sim card.
thanks but i tried that a while back. no such options for me
