Hi.

 

I am a bit confused how to go about with my new phone i received today. I got it by winning a raffle at work since we had a "farewell" party. And the phones that where up for grabs have been donated by O2. So today i found that it's locked to O2 network and I`m on 3. Got through the boot sequence and all with a PAYG sim i just bought, but when trying to use my 3 sim it asks to activate the phone and obviously fails.

 

Long story short - how would i go about getting it unlocked if I`m not even an O2 customer?

 

Any help much appreciated.

Hi all.

 

My iphone is now unlocked slight_smile Thanks to @MI5 and @Cleoriff - I`m sure getting a monthly sim would work also, but went with MI5`s suggestion.

 

Once again, thanks for help slight_smile
