No one knows.
Last year they made you wait unless you paid off the handset cost fully.

usually if you pay the refresh off which you can do as soon as you receive it they unlock but as we know iphone can be different

This did cause a bit of frustration for iphone 5s owners last year.

Some managed to unlock after paying the handset plan off and some didnt.

Are you wanting to unlock the iPhone 6 for a particular reason may I ask ?

as you know theres a wait now on both and o2 refresh is another way of getting the device and maybe getting it unlocked and £10 cheaper than sim free

Re: iphone 6 and plus refresh unlock

MI5 — Wed, 17 Sep 2014 16:55:45 GMT

Is it worth the risk for £10?

Cant blame you for trying.

However i think you know now its going to be a problematic option through 02 for unlocking.

It could be they want to be free to use other network sim cards as they move around the country so if signal is lost they can switch networks.

Or they want to use a local sim card whilst abroad.

Or unlocking the iphone increases the street value of the phone.

Why not? I recently unlocked my tablet purely for putting a 3 sim in when I go to France. I use my £15 payg UK unlimited data bundle over there and put the O2 one back in when here, saves me a FORTUNE in data charges
