Unbranding or unlocking a Sony Ericsson W710i cell phone is a simple task that can be done from the comfort of one's home. The point to this unbranding is to be able to use a phone designated for one network like AT&T or T-Mobile on another network like Sprint or Verizon Wireless. Unbranding the W710i is a simple process that will require the aid of a service known as a "cell phone unlocker" that must be paid for with a small fee.
Instructions
1. Press *#06# on the keypad to show your IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number. You will want to write down this number for later use.
2. Find a cell phone unlocker website. You will find a large selection of these in the "Resources" section. Compare prices and speed of delivery to find one that suits your needs.
3. Send your IMEI to the selected cell phone unlocker service. Every service is different, but most will send you the code back in a matter of moments.
4. Follow the instructions the service gives you to unbrand the phone. This usually requires you to enter a long string of symbols and numbers unique to your phone to unlock the phone.
