Is the OnePlus 5 unlocked when purchasing from O2?

Anonymous — Sun, 09 Jul 2017 17:44:39 GMT

I am interested in purchasing the OnePlus 5 from O2 soon, however i'm unsure if the device will be unlocked (or locked to O2 sim). I would like to insert a EE card rather than a O2 card, therefore does anyone know if O2 sells the device unlocked?

It is fully unlocked on both sim slots and does not have any network branding on it either.

Hi there

Don't know if anyone can help - I want to purchase the oneplus 5 on pay as go and use my talkmobile sim. I've spoken to a customer advisor they have said the phone will be locked to o2 and i can't use another sim. Is this true? I'm not an o2 customer but I just want to buy the handset outright

As already said, it is fully unlocked and unbranded.

Thanks - I guess it's just very strange that the customer advisor was adamant the oneplus 5 was NOT unlocked at all and that I'd have to wait 12 months to unlock it if I bought through pay as you go... Doesn't seem like good customer service to me.

They do it to put people off buying them if they don't think it will be used on o2......

Or perhaps they don't really have a clue as to the correct answer ?

Don't you remember the fuss caused when some ships refused to sell the 3 and 3T unless a simo or PAYG sim was bought at the same time?
