Hi

@Larry how to unlock here https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/How-to-Guides/Unlocking-an-O2-phone-to-use-a-different-SIM-card/ba-p/1... but have you tried a different SIM card already as it may not be locked?

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.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.

@Larry

How long ago did you buy the phone? It may well be unlocked if it was a recent purchase?

Best of luck anyway and welcome to the forum

Also depending on where you got it from - for instance Carphone Warehouse - it may be unlocked.

Try a sim card from the other networks and let us know the message you get.
