Hi All,
Just received a message saying my Iphone is now unlocked, insert the non o2 sim and sync with Itunes which is all good, my question is this though... Can I continue to use my 4S until Saturday and then swap the sim to the non o2 one when I get my Iphone 5, only ask as I asked for the unlock so my GF can have my 4s on another carrier and was told there was a lead time, only requested last night and its done already 😕
Many Thanks
Rob

I can confirm that once o2 request from apple that the iphone is unlocked from o2 it becomes a factory unlocked iphone and will take any sim at any time from around the world.
The advisor was that on live chat or on the phone?

Cool thanks for the speedy reply, one last thing, if I plug my iphone in and start up itunes to take a backup of my phone will it lock to o2 again or is that just when you place the non o2 sim in and it prompts for activation?
Thanks again

Hi Adam,
Many thanks for your help, so the unlock is a permenent thing thats great had a little conflicting advise from the adviser who said it would lock to the next sim that gets inserted.
Cheers

I am never going to use live chat it is a waste of time they get it wrong so many times.

as you said, works a charm just put T-mobile sim in activated it, then put my o2 sim back in and its all good.
Many thanks for the info

Thats why I came on here, the majority of the info was clear but I was not too sure about the carrier lock being upon activation, really appreciate you clearing that up for me mate
