@Emma232Try another sim in the phone, it may already be unlocked

You need to put your sim in the new phone and use it to makes calls etc then when it is showing in your MyO2 http://www.o2.co.uk/myo2 submit the request by clicking the link under "device details".
It will not work by any method until you actually use the phone on O2 network.

iPhones from CPW lock to the first sim and I believe iphones sold on their online outlet are network specific so will require an o2 sim to activate them.

I thought, now I realise mistakenly, that some iphones were sold unlocked. Is this same with giffgaff? I could have sworn you said their iphones were sold sim free .

They are network specific phones but they send all the IMEI numbers to Apple upfront so when you receive the phone, any sim can be used to activate it.
This shows up if you connect to iTunes to setup the phone as it pops up a message saying "congratulations, your iPhone is now unlocked"

What a shame all retailers and networks don't do the same....😕
