Just received a text message from o2 stating my iPhone has been unlocked.

I filled in this form - http://shop.o2.co.uk/update/unlockmyiphone.html on their website.

I will try a SIM when I get home.

Anyone else got theirs unlocked?

    I have just tried this, the only day I don't have the thing with me!
    I'll let you know how it goes.

    Mine did take a couple of weeks to get the message as it states now I will have to hook it up to iTunes and hopefully it will unlock.

    I have jailbroken my iPhone so I am unsure of the implications of hooking it up to get it unlocked.

    Just got my text today. I've yet to hook it to iTunes though.

    mine worked perfectly. plugged into iTunes, asked if I wanted to update carrier settings - pressed yes and hey presto one unlocked iPhone!

    Hadn't been jailbroken (is that a word!?), so don't know if this would affect things.

    Interestingly mine is on PAYG but I used my wife's pay monthly (iPhone) account details and mobile number on the O2 form but with my IMEI. Worth a try I thought and it worked! Excellent!

    How does it work if you're in the middle of a contract with O2 for another 12 months? Suppose you put an Orange sim card in? Would you have two bills?
    A problem shared is a problem multiplied. :o
