Bought a 5s off ebay and its locked to O2, can i get it unlocked?

[Anonymous]

Im actually on three, and bought a 5s on ebay that was aparently unlocked but it turnso ut its locked to o2. What are my options?

The seller wont help me.

No comeback on the seller then. It's just a matter of patience now though.

You'll just have to wait until o2 allow unlocking and then top up a payg sim with £20 to get the unlock processed, or pac your number across to o2 and use the o2 network.

ive ordered an o2 pay go sim today. Ill use that to activate it and then use an r-sim9 in it untill they will let me unlock it on pay go. Ill happily pay the paygo price to unlock it.

Cant port my number as i have 12 months left on three.

Do they actually work?

[Anonymous]

Ill know tomorrow hopefully or friday.

You'll have to let us know

[jonsie]

I'll be very interested to know if they actually work. Might help a few people until O2 start unlocking the phone.

So...I have to ask....what on earth is a r-sim9?

(Slightly off topic... but relevant I think, for those like me who are completely in the dark)...

If it works, it is a device to bypass the network lock to allow you to use other sim cards in a locked phone.
