Unlocking iPhone 5

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi

 

When will O2 allow me to unlock my iPhone 5 as I am abroad a great deal and it would be much easier for me to pop a foreign SIM into my handset so I can make calls locally when I'm in Italy or Spain. I am on an o2 contract but O2 will not allow me to unlock my handset as it is the iPhone 5. Please can I have an update on when this will be made available as this is currently costing me a fortune in calls when away.

 

Thanks

 

Darren

You won't be far off the mark with that estimate.
