iphone 5S unlocked and after that

Hi,

 

I have iphone 5S and planning to get it unlocked as I am travelling abroad. Once O2 unlocks the iPhone,  I will be able to use other sim cards with it.  What happens when I use it with a non-O2 sim (UK or abroad ) , will it get locked again ?

 

Any idea, how does it work ?

Once unlocked properly by O2 you can use any sim you like and it will never re-lock.
The only risk of this not happening is if you use a market stall which may not completely unlock the phone.
Stick to the proper method from O2 and all will be good slight_smile

Once it's unlocked it will stay that way.
