Telefonica Spanish SIM in UK phone

Anonymous — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 12:29:03 GMT

I'm about to go to Spain for 3 months and would like to use my UK iPhone there, but use a Spanish SIM.

As O2 is part of Telefonica does anyone know if my UK phone will work with a Spanish SIM or do I need to get it unlocked?

Need to get it unlocked they are all seperate companies like o2-ie in southern ireland still need sim unlock to use local sim

Some o2 Contract Phones are unlocked automatically. PAYG Are Def locked.

I would try another network sim in the phone, if it comes up with the network name instead of o2, then the phone is unlocked,

If it comes up with network sp locked, or network locked, etc. Then you phone is locked to o2 uk
