Hi @Anonymous it may already be unlocked. Try another sim in it. A guide to unlocking here https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Other-Products-and-Services/Unlocking-an-O2-phone-to-use-a-different-SIM-card/ba-p/1014131

Usually because it isn't locked.
If it came from carphone warehouse it will be unlocked already but some o2 phones are also unlocked.
Have you tried a non o2 sim in it?

Hey @Anonymous how was your weekend? How are you getting on with your phone, did you figure out if it was unlocked already or if there was any problem with it? Let us know in case we could advise further? Cheers
