O2 won't be able to unlock it for you as you need to use it on the O2 network otherwise it won't register on the system. Can you get the original owner to get it unlocked?

Hi @DanielNarovec Are you abroad at the moment? Where did you buy the phone from?

Have you checked that the phone may already be unlocked? Put another sim in first to check if it is unlocked

Unfortunately the bottom line is no chance unless you can get the phone to the uk.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Hello @DanielNarovec, welcome to our forum! 

As our helpful members replied above, unfortunately you would need to use an O2 SIM card in the phone before it could be unlocked... worried

Please do let us know if you have any further questions.
