iphone 5s on Vodafone. will it work on 02 4G and can o2 unlock it for me?

[Anonymous]

Someone wants to swap an iPhone 5S for my S4 but his phone is on Vodafone, if I did this swap would it work on o2's 4G and would o2 unlock it for me?

Thanks for your help!

You said you'd been offered an iPhone 5S on Vodafone. Which is it?

Both. i just need to know is, will an iPhone 5s bought from a different company work on 02's 4G once it has been unlocked?

Yep.

Once unlocked it will work on any network.

It will also support O2's 4G, the iPhone 5 won't.

The iPhone 5 will only work on EE 4G (or any other UK network but 3G only)

Be warned tho not sure Vodafone are unlocking the 5S yet?

The 5S has only been out a month, so I doubt that any network would unlock it yet.

Also you need to be aware that Vodafone only unlock a phone free if it has been on contract for 12 months. Any less than that and the cost is £19.99.
