    Anybody work for 02

    I am in need of help/advise

    I purchased a 2nd hand iphone 4s recently, its locked on the 02 network, now i have been to the shops in town about getting it unlocked.... Not that easy, has to go thru 02/apple.

    As i am not the owner of the phone (was a contract phone before) it needs to be unlocked by the previous owner... Have requested this... Fingers crossed it wont be a problem...

    But if it is, anybody work for 02 who could help?..

    Easy way is to get an o2 pre pay sim card through it in the phone and top it up with £20 make a few calls and texts over a couple days and this registers the sim to the imei of that phone make sure you leave £15 credit on the phone then fill in this online form

    https://www.o2.co.uk/apps/help/help?...locking%20Form

    takes about 48 hours then you will get a text and the phone is unlocked

    so cost £20 but at least its done

    hope this helps

    At the end of a contract they have to give you the unlock code if you request it so just phone them up.
