I have an unlocked iPhone that I intend to sell soon. However, I want to lend it to a friend for a few weeks for using it as a backup phone with their PayG SIM card.

Does using an iPhone with a PayG SIM card lock the phone on that network?

    If an iPhone is unlocked, it is unlocked for ever. There used to be iPhones that locked to the first network they connected to, but that was years ago.
