    are you sure its locked to o2? usually o2 phones are unlocked.. well all the ones that we got for our work contract were unlocked.
    ummm...
  • senthil 208 does actually say "its unlocked to o2" .. so not sure what the query is ?

    i've just had 2 from o2 as upgrades and they were unlocked .. sold them within hours on ebay for £200.

    i also ordered 2 on the recent good vodaphone tariffs ... one came in normal sony box.. black phone .. unlocked .. the other came in a red vodaphone sony 750 box .. silver phone with voda logo... and locked to voda .

    i posted query the other day about how to unlock.. no-one answered ,

    Most Motorola's , LG's , most new Samsungs, Sony Ericssons cannot be unlocked by code and need to be unlocked by direct cable or clip in a shop.

    Taken from the sticky unlock other manufacturers phones.

    Apart from the phones mentioned in that thread this phone cannot be unlocked for free by using a code and therefore you need to take it to someone for unlocking.

    I also think the K750i will need to be taken to an unlocking service using a cable.

    However, there seems to be a bit of doubt about whether this phone is already unlocked. Before going to a lot of trouble, why not try another non-O2 SIM card in the phone and see whether this is accepted, or if you get a "rejected" message? That will quickly sort out whether you need to have it unlocked or not. ;)
