Use Iphone 6s with other networks

[GalinTodorov]

Hello. I bought an iPhone 6s from eBay but it is locked to an O2 network (giffgaff), now I am using giffgaff and it is working fine. I need it to be unlocked, so I can use my phone abroad and with another sim card. How can do that? I asked the guy from who I bought the phone but he can't help me.  I know it sounds like I stole the phone or something else, but my phone is unlocked from iCloud (I can prove the eBay purchase) and I am using it now from February till today, but I need it to be unlocked because I need to use another carrier (A1). Thank you. Hope we can solve this problem.

if its locked to giffgaff then you need to ask them to unlock it.

giffgaff sim locks to o2 network so get a free o2 PAYG sim and follow the help here https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/How-to-Guides/Unlocking-an-O2-phone-to-use-a-different-SIM-card/ba-p/1...
