Oneplus 3 - dual sim support / SIMlock

jtz1979 — Thu, 10 Nov 2016 15:18:56 GMT

Hi,

I am interested in upgrading to the OnePlus 3 as I have another SIM I'd like to use (different network).

Does the oneplus3 sold by O2:

- have a sim lock

- allow use of 2 sim cards, one O2 and one EE (I have a work account with EE with lots of data).

Anyone know answers to this ? Can't get through to O2 Phone support or live chat.

Thanks!

Yes it's unlocked and you can use O2 and another network sim. Out of stock I believe at the moment

The phone O2 sells is identical to the OP3 you can buy direct, so all functions fully supported.

Is the firmware / software on the phone O2 branded? any apps bloatware etc?

No, nothing at all.

As you would buy it out of the box anywhere.

@jtz1979 you can always go in store yourself to have a look at their demo model before taking the plunge.

Yeah - would be great if any stores around had them in stock... 😞

Yes, I guess there is always that....
My local store had one in yesterday but only a demo model - they didn't have any for sale and were waiting for stock which they expected later that day.

To be honest, they wouldn't have them in stock if there wasn't a display unit and vice versa.....

Bit pathetic to go for exclusivity....and then can't meet the demand....

I assume they are dependent on what stock they can get?

Not a good business plan then... in my opinion of course.

Probably not

Well, I'm glad that I didn't go for it - since Oneplus 3T is around the corner. I'm going to pre-order it as an upgrade, however, the chap on the O2 chat tells me it's simlocked.

We shall see next week I suppose...

I doubt it, again......

Not sim locked , it's a dual sim!

Chat excerpt :

It will be a locked SIM phone.

Logan

jan

Yes, you can only use O2 SIM with the phone until the phone is unlocked.

They really can't get used to the idea that O2 of all people are selling a totalling UNLOCKED phone. It's not in the script...
