[Q] Sim/Bootloader Unlock

Hai!
I have a question:
I have a Xperia Play that is Sim Locked and so i cant unlock my Bootloader.
My question is, if i pay my cellphone company to Sim unlock my Play, will i be able to unlock my bootloader after that? Or unlocking the bootloader only works on phones that are native sim unlocked?
Thanks!

It is still possible to unlock the bootloader of your phone as I have a sim locked phone but unlocked it and unlocked the bootloader altough to do this you are going to have to sim unlock your phone with a software like omnius which uses a testpoint connection which gives you the option to unlock the bootloader of your phone it will not work if you unlock your phone using a unlock code.

(Q)Sim unlock

Hy sorry for this stupid question but i used the searck but I don't finde any ansver for it....
So SIM unlock is same with BL unlock or it is only a Sim unlock.. ??? I mean if I do thishttp://www.fastgsm.com/en/sonyericsson/se/xperia-arc-s/unlock-network/flashing-debrand(the first option)(buy it and do this) my BL is unlocked too ??????

SIM unlock is not the same as bootloader unlock.
SIM unlock just unlocks phone so you can put different SIM cards in phone.
Bootloader unlock allowed you to install custom roms, and other mods.
To unlock phone you can use test point method then this will unlock SIM and bootloader.

If i unlock my branded phone, will i be able to unlock bootloader?

So, i have a branded phone and can't unlock the bootloader.
Will i be able to unlock the bootloader if i unlock my phone by contacting the phone network operator?
Also, will these two options do the same thing with my phone?
unlock at: phone network operator
unlock at: http://unlock-bootloader.com/unlock/

Removing the SIM lock (which is what you appear to be referring to) does not give one the ability to unlock the bootloader. However, I believe unlocking the bootloader will also remove the SIM lock. I can't say for sure, since my version of the Play (R800x, the Verizon CDMA one) does not use a SIM card at all.

Thanks for the answer!

[Q] Unlocked boot-loader still sim locked

I unlocked my bootloader a while ago and have been running PecanCM's version of CyanogenMod 11, i just tried a different sim but its still carrier locked. Does this mean i still have to purchase an unlock code?

Bootloader unlocking doesn't sim-unlock your phone.

3a xl Verizon related help.

If I bought this phone on swappa unlocked could I put in my Verizon SIM card and still unlock the bootloader since the phone is unlocked? Or will my Verizon SIM card lock the bootloader?

The sim card has nothing to do with being able to unlock the bootloader.
