I think i may be wrong however i think that once your contract is up, O2 will unlock your phone for you to use on any network. Not 100% sure but think i may have read this on this websire recently.

I'm sure someone will either confirm this or shoot me down in flames!

Just out of interest, did you upgrade? if so how did you do it? Did you go into the shop or phone?

I didn't have to look far. The post was about 4 below this one.

What do I need to do?

Firstly, complete the unlocking form - it will take up to 14 days for the iPhone to be unlocked and we'll text you to confirm the unlock request. Then place a non-O2 sim into the iPhone and connect to iTunes via a USB cable. iTunes will confirm that the iPhone has been successfully unlocked.
