    carphone sell them on payg and they are unlocked although they expect you to buy a top up/simcard my son bought a one on orange even though he's on o2 simplicity it just means he has a spare orange simcard with credit on


    so the one you prob seen was with t-mobile simcard the phone is not locked to t-mobile

    Don't bother, O2 do not support the 8520 on PAYG. You won't be able to use BB services at all.

    EDIT: ignore me, blonde moment. Whoops. Make sure you contact O2 to add the Blackberry service to your account, it's an additional £5 a month.
    Have I helped? Feel free to click the 'Thanks' button. I like to feel useful (and smug). ;)
