I have an sony ericsson on o2 and will be upgrading soon so will be looking to sell.

Being on o2 is anyone aware if they lock their phones to certain networks, (I know orange do) but my o2 handset has worked with vodaphone/virgin and t-mobile.

I'm basically wondering if I can advertise my phone as unlocked to all networks.

    If it works on Vodafone,Virgin/T-Mobile and O2 then its safe to say the phone is unlocked and you can advertise it as unlocked, not all O2 handsets are unlocked but phones from the Car Phone Warehouse do usually come unlocked to all networks.
  • o2 don't lock their phones to any network.
