Tesco run on O2, I doubt it will need unlocking.

It will of course, but AFAIK, phones locked to O2 normally work with both Giffgaff and Tesco sims.

ok,just that i have heard that phones that are locked to o2 will take a tesc sim but not the other way about

It will probably be ok.

But why not get it unlocked by o2. They do it free for contracts or £15 payg. Assuming you are the account holder.

It won't get locked again.

I was wondering the exact same... I have an iPhone 4 also, with my contract up this very week. I purchased the phone however via ebay and therefore can not unlock it via O2 - however the phone works very well, and thus I would rather avoid entering into a new contract. Any insight on the best sim only deal that works via O2 would be very much appreciated.

On a separate note, is there another route to unlock an iPhone(4) outwith via the network provider?

Many thanks!

The only way is to try it - nobody can say for definite as there are multiple locks on a phone and it depends how the distributor coded them at the pre-supply stage.

It has nothing to do with the network being used, but the way in which the SIM lock is administered.

No distributor codes iPhones. It's Apple that does and it's the same for all iPhones. And it's a known fact that iPhones locked to O2 work on Tesco and Giffgaff.
