I purchased a simfree blackberry z10 about 5 days ago. When I turned on my z10 immediately it gave me the latest software update and MIND IT THERE WAS NO NETWORK logo on startup of the phone. I purchased a 3simcard and inserted it in my phone..after 3 days the three logo appeared on the startup and closing of my device...I though my phone has got locked to three network. I did put another simcard in my phone and it worked perfectly fine..i did factory reset my phone and the logo was gone and when I again put my 3 sim the logo reappeared..i again reset my phone and put an orange simcard in it and no logo is appearing. My question is why only when I put the three simcard the logo appears on my z10?? Is it because the first sim I put in my device was of 3 or have I got a faulty device??? Please help me as people at 3 are of no help and the retailer has said it is a simfree device..i don't wana change BlackBerry as I love z10 but please give me advice about my device. Many Thanks.

Hi

It sounds like it's a three locked phone I believe there are places on the net that offer BlackBerry unlocking

I have an unlocked UK phone as well. I have been using different sims cards in it since I frequently travel to other countries. I have noticed that some sims will result in the logo appearing when you turn on or off the phone (an example is UK Vodafone or US T-Mobile), while some others do not (example: KCELL in Kazakhstan). Everything works fine with all these sims. Seeing the logo at startup is not an indication that the phone is locked and can be used ONLY to that specific carrier!

It is coded in the sim.
Don't bother, it will stay there until you wipe and insert another sim.
Learn to ignore it like I did.
Vodafone does the same thing with their sims.
