How about flashing Custom ROm would unlock sim lock of the phone from a carrier?
Its just not that simple. Special equipment is needed, or code from carrier.
Oh Ok.. Thanks for the reply..

U can use PUK code to unlock ur sim if you have. If not, only service provider can help u to unlock, just give them a call.
I think important words in OP are "unlocked for other carriers"....
PUK has nothing to do with this!!
And your Carrier will normally ask for payment to Network Unlock ....if at all.
Don't forget, they have provided the phone, probably under contract for a period, at a fraction of the "open market" price!!!
Just go check what is SIM-free price???

Just pay for it like everyone else does LOL most of the providers of the service are fast and reliable.. cellunlocker.net did mine and it was seamless.
I called up TMobile and asked them the unlock code saying I am going to Europe on vacation and want to use the local sim card there. They emailed me the unlock code next day.

no need to be an @$$H0L3 .... i was just asking if it was possible as other Samsung Galaxy S/S2 have the possibility of Unlock. If it was possible why pay the extra 20-30$ for the unlock? It was a question, a simple yes or no, which the answer already was given would have sufficed. Thanks.
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

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:

Hello
I've been searching this forums for the past two hours searching for a clear answer to my question but I haven't found anything accurate.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S III sgh-t999v bought from Wind in Canada and I have know left the country for Europe.
when I bought the phone I was told that it was unlocked but when I try using my new sim it keeps telling me I need an unlock code.
What I would like to know is if my phone can be unlocked to be used here in Europe without the unlock code?
Does flashing/rooting my phone makes it unlocked?
I appreciate any help/answers to my problem.
Thank you guys.

No. Rooting your phone does not gsm unlock it. Either call your carrier and ask for the unlock code .. or pay online for one.

Like crisis stated just call your carrier and ask for an unlock code... Your account has to be in good state I believe. Or else pay.

I want to reove sim lock !
The only option is to use setools which is a paid service, this will unlock SIM card and also unlock bootloader without losing drm etc, however the bootloader can be relocked.
xda member jinx13 offers this via remote access, search his name in search bar.

Check the Internet for one of the SIM unlock services for your area. For example in Canada I can get a Xperia Arc unlocked(allows you to use any provider) for $8.
If none are available in your area(for provider) then maybe you will need the advise above and unlock the BL....for bootloader I used Alejandrissimo

Just use Omnius then.
In many countries this service is available in local shops that sell and repair mobile phones for small price. Since you dont know english that well you should consider that instead of using google and xda to find it...

They only offer the unlock service to existing or formal att customers... Since att is not in the Netherlands i can't do anything . I wanted this the legal way, but without luck. The phone is 3 years old. But no problem I'll unlock it at a phone shop here, i don't mind paying for it i just thought some fellows here wanted to earn a few quick bucks for the effort for me.
If you flash the J2 modem you can unlock the phone. It takes longer to download than it takes to unlock.
