If it takes a sim and you buy it from O2 it will be locked to the O2 network.

Hi vipsbhatti

Welcome to the community forum. 😄

O2 do unlock their products for customers and if you do own a cellular / wifi iPad it will be most probably locked.

To confirm try another UK non O2 SIM card in it.

All devices that O2 sell that require a sim are locked.
The only exceptions are early deliveries of a brand new device that the manufacturer / O2 hasn't had time to get locks and branding in place (this does not apply to Apple as they are locked by the carrier update).
