Hi

 

I've very kindly been offered an iPhone 6. The phone was on a o2 monthly contract which expired a few months ago.  The sim is now deactivated and my friend no longer has an O2 contract, I don't know if they can unlock the phone as a customer.

 

If I buy an O2 PAYG sim will I be able to unlock the phone by paying or will I need to wait 12 months as a new PAYG customer?

 

Thanks

iPhone is exempt from 12c months rule, just make sure you are on the classic PAYG tariff.
