Hi @Anonymous As far as I am aware it will be network locked. If you want to be absolutely sure you could contact customer services https://www.o2.co.uk/contactus or ask instore

I couldn't find any confirmation of that @MI5? I looked in the shop and at Chris_K's announcement earlier in the month?

Just to confirm, MI5 is correct - The OnePlus 5T when purchased via O2 is unlocked 🙂

It IS locked actually - I have just purchased one for my father and he can't even use a GiffGaff sim as the 2nd one, O2 customer service confirmed.

Not sure where you're getting your info from...

We are getting our info from O2, OP and already purchased phones that are not locked.
This may be a new thing but at the time we posted, the info was correct.
giffgaff sims will work in an O2 locked phone too, as will Tesco sims, so you have a specific issue with your phone or a fault.

O2 will unlock it anyway https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Other-Products-and-Services/Unlocking-an-O2-phone-to-use-a-different-SIM-card/ba-p/1014131

@Anonymous the confirmation that it is sold unlocked was posted here by an O2 staff member @Chris_K

Who just confirmed what we already knew.
This is the only one allegedly "locked" in the history of O2 selling OP phones, so I doubt it is actually locked at all.

Yep, faulty sim or phone or user error possibly.
