do u need to register your phone online for that warranty?

Hi all I really need your help...
when i in malaysia, i put in digi simcard it works perfectly

when i put in UK simcard, suppose it should ON like normal then on roaming

but the XperiaIon won't start, keep on restart and restart

the UK sim works fine on roaming on my other phones, BB, and tried on my mum's nokia its fine too.

i thought it is the sim card problem, maybe still..

I am now in UK... i went to the telco, when they heard my phone is bought in malaysia

they told me it could be the firmware is regional locked to Asia (got such thing meh)
if need to unlock maybe need 45 GBP or something?

then i found out with Sony UK... ARGHHH they do not sell this model Ion, LT28 in UK! so they cannot support
has to go Sony Malaysia... which... i don't know if i should?

if you guys know this Ion phone need and can be unlock in order to use it anywhere in the world ... let me know.

thanks

HAHHAHAHAHAHHA.... AM SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!S

got update i no dare to update liao
later cannot read my uk simcard again

guys... please let me know if any of you using your phone overseas, especially UK

i stated my problems before and now few more doubts to clear
bought new Xepria Ion with this firmware ICS 6.1.E.1.20

Update to this firmware (because it prompt me to) ICS 6.1.E.3.7

phone doesn't work with UK simcard, when insert UK sim it keeps restarting...

after googling and came here for some suggestion..

flash it back to this firmware ICS 6.1.E.1.20 > and it works

now it is working on my UK simcard... but it keeps popping up the update

means I should NOT update it to avoid the same problem...?

could it be because this model Ion is not available in UK market that's why the latest firmware reject the Sim Card (all UK sim, O2, T-mobile, 3mobile etc that i tried on)

i want to try but am too dumb to understand these steps
