Hi I’ve got an iPhone 6 that I took with me when I left my old job!,it’s locked to the number I used to have and I want to be able to use it with my new SIM card,but when I tried a web site they said I couldn’t unlock it because it still had outstanding balance on the old contract!,is there any way I can unlock it?

If it's locked to O2, follow this help https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/How-to-Guides/Unlocking-an-O2-phone-to-use-a-different-SIM-card/ba-p/1...
If another network, contact them for advice.

Yes, by following the PAYG route in my guide I posted above and using it to create your own account.
