Unlock codes for a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i

The Sony Xperia X10i is one of the first Sony Ericsson smartphones to be Android-based and is one of the more high-end offerings from the Xperia range. It boasts fast and efficient social media apps and a media player, as well as an 8.1-megapixel camera with smile recognition and geotagging capabilities.

You would assume a high-end smartphone such as the Xperia X10i, which is designed for international use, would be available for use on any network. However, the phone has built-in restrictions to prevent people from switching between networks. But lucky for you, unlocking your phone is simple, and most importantly its legal. All you need is the unlock code designed by the manufacturer for your handset to remove the restrictions and a new unaccepted SIM card for the phone.

The best way to go about getting hold of the unique unlock code for your handset is by asking the people who had it put there in the first place, your network service provider. Although they had it put there to prevent you from switching networks, they are usually pretty understanding when you ask for the unlock code, especially if you are a long-term customer of the network. They will usually offer it for free, and may even offer to do the unlocking part for you if you go in-store.
