try to contact your network for the pin,

afaik, this is only asked if the phone is locked to a network and you used another network's sim

I think we better wait for a Sony Xperia Support member here, they can trace your SI number if it is locked on a network.. can you post your SI number here?

have you tried with other sim? from other networks?

Your phone is definitely locked on network (contrary to what the seller said to your friend).

You have two options, ask UK network to send unlock pin (first You have to find what network is locked on), or use some online network unlocking service (you have to pay for the service).

Your mobile is locked with the network in UK.Do not worry you can unlock it using unlock code and can use the mobile with other network.You can get unlock code from Classicunlocking.com for your Sony Xperia, you should specify the network to which your mobile is locked.

Have you tried a specific code?It has to be from 4 digits?

Re: what is Sim Network unlock pin ?!?!?!?

The code has to be 16-digit. You can receive it from network provider or some 3rd party unlock code provider. I got mine from FastGSM.com - they helped me to get the code and it removed SIM network unlock PIN on my Xperia P! Supported networks listed in their website are limited however they said via email that they can do any network worldwide!

SI number? SN in the UK. If you are referring to the serial number. I thought it was the IMEI that you used for the individual id? I always used tthat when getting mobiles licensed in an enterprise environment.
I will also accept graciously any abuse if wrong.

I also know if you root or jailbreak a device, it would normally invalidate any warranty. Had some fun with t-mobile when they locked a device to them, when I had purchased the unlocked mobile outside of the plan/tariff. Because I rooted that phone I was accused of rooting my contract device. Google play store if viewed. Will only show the software downloaded, not the device it is downloaded to.

Oh and if EE, all outlet shops now franchised. So if the management changes, do not expect any support if there is out of pocket charge for the outlet manager. You can only complain about the manager of the store to the manager of that store. It's **bleep** ridiculous.
