    O2 don't charge and reportedly do this almost instantly.

    Yes, I know someone who had O2 unlock his iphone and it was processed overnight, requested about 3pm, when he connected the phone to iTunes the following morning around 9am and it was unlocked.

    T-Mobile/Orange like to take their time (which normally gets them an extra months line rental) and then blame Apple.

    They tend to charge their customers more for other things though, so it balances itself out.
    So, are you saying that the only reason of Orange dragging their feet with unlocking is that they charge less for other things? This seems to be a far too complex explanation. Occam's razor and utter incompetence spring to mind. Or even some sort of conspiracy and fraud.
