Unlocking IPhone on Orange To 02 Network

[Anonymous]

My daughter has given me her IPhone 4 which is on Orange, I am wanting to use it on O2 network. Does anyone know if that is possible?  My O2 sim card seems too big to fit in the iphone 4 phone.

You will need to get Orange to unlock the phone but I would suggest your daughter has it done due to their stipulation that you have to be a customer for 12 months.

Then just order the correct sized sim or pick one up from the O2 store and O2 will arrange the number change for you.

Thanks jonsi, will I be able to keep my original number from my old O2 sim?

Just to clarify {hope you dont mind Jonsie} that you require a Micro-Sim card for your iPhone 4.

Your 02 number and tariff will be ported over to your new 02 Micro Sim by doing it instore or at home via the swapmysim link.

All you will need to do is change the data bolt on to idata. There will be no cost to do this. Again O2 will just swap it for you at the same time.

Thanks I did that process on that link: entered my phone number, they text me a code, I then entered the code and clicked 'submit' But it just took me to the original page (where I inserted my number originally) 😕 Just wondering if I have to wait for them to send me something now?

The sim swap won't work unless you have a new simcard?

There is no need to do this until the phone is unlocked as an O2 sim won't work in the phone unless it's already unlocked.
