Network locking re:SFOS/XperiaX [answered]
Having been recently looking on eBay UK for the above phone I am asking for clarifiaction of what I believe to be true (or not) that: There is no difference between an unlocked phone and one that has been unlocked from a provider. i.e if I unlock a phone myself that's locked into o2 for e.g, then that's the same as buying an unlocked phone fromn the get go? Yes or No?
As the unlock code is just a 'number' or 'code' this would mean it's a software lock and not a hardware lock I assume, I would just likesomeone to clarify that has some knowledge for certain, so am I correct? Thanks

I don't see any difference personally. The only thing I recall is, the newer the phone the more expensive the unlock code can be, so you may get a cheaper handset by £30 and then end up spend £30 to unlock it - a false economy in that sense.
