Hi - I have received my unlatch code today to unlatch my phone from 02, so I can use a non 02 SIM.  Unfortunately the code is still not allowing me to unlatch.  I've tried the code twice already, don't want to lock it up completely by tring again.

 

It's a Sony Xperia if it makes any difference.

 

Any ideas please?

I got the phone new with 02 a couple of years ago.

Shouldn't be hardlocked if you've only entered the code twice then.

I think the unlatch code may be wrong - 16 digits instead of 15. Will contact Sony this morning.

Thanks for your support 🙂

Just to confirm - you are trying this with the new sim in the phone?

 

Make sure that the phone can be unlocked:

  • Type: *#*#7378423#*#*
  • Select Service Info/Sim Lock.
  • Look at the Network line.
  • You need an [X]  before the word Network and a number 1 or higher after it - the number is how many attempts you have remaining.
  • If there’s no X and there is a zero, you need to get Sony to reset it. 

Received this from Sony....

*#*#SERVICE#*#*
Service info
Sim lock

Look for
[X] Network 0 = hard locked
[ ] Network 0 = unlocked
[X] Network 1-5 = attempts left

Yep - the X before Network is there - then the number is 0. Looks like I'm doomed!
