Fill in the form here...https://www.o2.co.uk/apps/help/help?qid=1&q1=2&route=unlocking&case=Handset%20Unlocking%20Form

If you have a contract you need to put the sim in and make a few calls to re register the imei on o2's system.

If payandgo you will need to top up with £20 and again make some calls leaving £15  credit to pay for the unlock.
