Unlocked may not be??

I bought a unlocked sony ericsson z520a and slipped my t-mobile sim card in. It's telling to insert correct smart chip. I assume a smart chip is the same as a sim card? Could it be that it's not unlocked and since the phone is Cingular and my sim is tmobile thats the issue?

There are three possibilities to get this type of issue.
1.There may be a problem in your Sim card so try another one.
2.Your mobile is locked to particular network provider.
If your problem persists,After replacing new Sim card means definitely Your mobile phone is restricted by some network so try to unlock your mobile phone.For unlocking you can approach your service provider or else try to buy an unlocking service from any one of the online unlocking service provider like Unlock-Zone.com Here you can unlock your phone at low cost.

Need unlock code for sony ericsson z550a for a tmobile SIM

Hi, If you get error message as PIN blocked. Unlock?" You have entered the wrong PIN code too many times. You need to unlock your phone using the PUK (PIN Unlocking Key) code. Your PUK code is provided by your network operator. If you get error message as Insert correct SIM" You have inserted a SIM card that is not supported. Insert correct SIM card, or contact your Service Provider for a SIM unlock code. If you get error message as Phone locked" or "Enter PIN" Your phone is locked and you need to unlock it with your personal PIN. The default PIN is '0000', but you or your network operator may have changed it. I Hope it helped you. Thank you for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!
