About five months have passed since the release of "Xperia Z5 PREMIUM SO-03H", but at first the large 5.5-inch display was a bit uncomfortable.This time, I unlocked the SIM lock on the Xperia Z5 Premium via the web.For carrier terminals (and DOCOMO terminals), SIM unlocking is not very practical, but if you are traveling abroad during Golden Week, you can use local SIM depending on the area.It is convenient.
Before unlocking the SIM, there are confirmation items first
However, not everyone can unlock the SIM immediately.In the case of DOCOMO, only those who meet the following conditions can be canceled for models released after May 2015.
1. No locks such as network use restrictions, locks, etc. are not applied 2. You can confirm the payment results of the usage fee 3. It is a model that has the purchase history of the contractor himself 4. From the date of the terminal purchase.It has been 6 months or more, however, if there is a SIM unlock on the target line and has been more than 6 months since the previous SIM unlocking acceptance, 6 months have passed since the terminal purchase date.Even if not, the procedure for unlocking the SIM can be canceled 5. If you have already canceled docomo, it must be within 3 months from the cancellation date.
Excerpt from docomo "Procedures of models released after May 2001"
In my case, I was able to unlock the SIM lock of the "Xperia Z2 SO-03F" I used earlier long ago, so I was able to release it without any problems.If you have purchased Z5 Premium without unlocking the SIM lock so far, 6 months after the purchase date is the condition, so at the earliest May 20 (SO-03H is November 20, 2015 20, 2015.It is important to note that it can be released on a daily basis).By the way, the same series "Xperia Z5" (DoCoMo, au, SoftBank) will be released on October 29, 2015, so it will be released on April 29, "Xperia Z5 Compact SO-02H" on November 19, 2015.It will be early May 19th.
In the case of DoCoMo, the administrative fee for unlocking the SIM varies depending on the application method.Free if you apply from a personal computer using My docomo.When performed at telephone or docomo shops, it costs 3,000 yen (excluding tax) except for data communication products and i -mode compatible mobile phones.If you have already canceled docomo, the application method is only at the docomo shop, and a fee of 3000 yen (excluding tax) will be charged regardless of the terminal.
I guess everyone applied on the web because it is free, but when applying on the web, it was necessary to do the release work by the procedure below.In addition to being a little troublesome, you will not be able to enter the cancellation code without SIM from other carriers.If you want to pull or insert SIMs or SIMs of other carriers, it is better to do it at stores.
If you want to apply for free, you can also apply to other carriers, and first access My docomo.Click "More" in "DoCoMo Online Procedure" to call "SIM unlock".
Click the "More" link of "DoCoMo Online Procedure" at the bottom of My docomo
After moving, scroll further and click "SIM Lock" in "Other" items.
All you have to do is read the notes, go on the check box, and specify the e -mail address to receive the cancellation code.
I want to cancel this time, so I select "Android" for "SIM unlocking model".Call the precautions properly and check the consent check box
Select an email address
Finally, check the input item and check if there is any mistake in the model you want to release and the e -mail address.
Let's check the screen for completing the application
When it was completed, the email arrived almost immediately
Note that even if the email arrives, the lock has not been released yet.Once the email arrives, turn off the Xperia power once and replace the SIM card.If you turn on the power supply again, if you are setting security, unlock the screen to display the screen "Locking SIM Network Lock Pin".If you enter the "release code" written on the e -mail or completion page, you will be completed safely.
Once the power is turned off, take out the SIM from the SIM/microSD card slot.I am glad that I don't need any equipment such as pins
Enter a (long) release code that will appear such a screen when you recognize other carrier SIMs
If you enter correctly and tap "Lock", it will be displayed as "Network lock has been released".
If you are accustomed to inserting the SIM, it will be easy to release without much time.What is complicated is the "condition for unlocking SIM lock", so please check your SIM unlock and purchase date and apply.
