A pay monthly customer can normally request an unlock free of charge.

Handset dependant.

Really ?

I'm not liking refresh more and more.

So restrictive in some aspects.

Can't unlock.

Can't sell the handset if you want.

Handsets can cost more on refresh than if bought on sim free.

Possibly so.

Can't seem to see anything in the refresh t&c's.

O2 do seem to like restricting iphone users for some reason 😞

So the OP......

Looks like you may be able to unlock to all networks by this online form.

Just make a few chargeable calls to latch its imei number to your account.

To make you use their services and hopefully rack up more cost's than your monthly payments to recoup any subsidy I assume Damien1 ?

I've got an iPhone 5 on Refresh and it was unlocked within a couple of weeks of me getting it.
