    iphones from O2 are locked. :confused:
    Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.

    You may correct me but I thought you could have a phone unlocked for free when contract ended and after a year on payg. Vodafone did mine for free 18 months ago and as I now have a new contract and phone I shall be ringing to get my old one unlocked.

    I'm sure initially I read it on this site, it was something to do with OFcom.


    Vodafone do , other networks charge for the unlock.
