Author	J5 with Virgin, SIM lock?
Universal Exports Joined: Mar 03, 2003 Posts: > 500 From: Sweden PM, WWW	Posted: 2004-07-08 16:49 My friend had a J5 when he came to england yesterday, it was registered with comviq. When he bought a Virgin sim card, the phone starts with searching for a net, then says "SIM lock" and probably asks for a code... However I can't enter anything, or more correctly I can't accept what I've entered.. Does this depend on his phone being locked to comviq or what's the problem? Thanks for the help "The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success." -Eliot Carver

If it has, you'll need a special data cable and software to unlock it. Details at the following site: http://www.gsm-support.net/sh[....]hp/simlock_sony_j5.inc/_42/en/
