Hello
Can someone help me to unlock my old Samsung S9
I do not have current pay as you go or contract with o2 so short numbers do not work?
Thanks!

Guide: Unlocking an O2 phone to use a different SIM card
But probably better to get it done at a mobile repair shop.

Yeah but above link only offers how to unlock if you are current o2 customer and Iam not. I do not have o2 sim so is there way they can still unlock this phone? I was under impression they suppose to unlock all phones or provide means to do so by law?

Get a free O2 payg sim and put £10 on it.
Use the phone for a few days so it registers on network then request free unlock.
All covered in the guide. Simples.

I can get it unlocked via unlocking websites quick google found me 12 quid one, but I was hoping O2 will do this for free as phone is ages out of contract. But I guess no such thing as free lol

If you have a working o2 sim, or know someone that does, get them to use it for a few days and then request the unlock @kokius
Or follow @MI5 's advice and get a pay as you go sim and do it that way.

The guide @Enlli posted covers all options available to @kokius
Nothing in life is free, although O2 will unlock a phone for free that is currently registered on the network. The problem here is that the phone hasn't been used recently so no longer shows on the system.
There's a small chance it maybe so calling O2 on 0800 081 0255 and asking to be transferred to tech support might work.
