I have bought second hand iPhone 4s but it is locked to O2. How can I get it unlocked? Thanks.

Prepare for a world of pain! Start with O2, who will tell you to go to Apple, who will in-turn tell you to go to O2- you get the picture.0

I was given IPhone 4s by SIL locked to O2. She rang O2 who unlocked phone for free. I then reset her phone to use. As it was SIL she gave me her passwords and I could turn off find my phone etc. and reset phone.

Only O2 can unlock it properly, but they won't do this for you: http://www.o2.co.uk/help/phones-and-devices/unlocking-your-iphone-and-using-it-on-another-network
Either ask the original owner or try ebay. The latter is likely to be more expensive and unreliable if the unlocker doesn't have access to an insider in O2.
In short, you shouldn't have bought a locked iPhone in the first place. Buy cheap, buy twice.0
