I am looking to buy an ipad 3 which is locked to O2 from a second hand shop(Cash Converter). I am going on holiday at the end of the next month so would like to know if it is possible to unlock it before I buy it?

iPads are not locked to any network whoever told you it was locked doesn't know what they are talking about slight_smile

As above.

 

O2 have never sold ipads of any type so they cannot be locked to o2.

Thanks guys, I rang O2 yesterday(12/05/2013) and was told they don't sell IPads anyway. But I have been told the other networks sell them & are locked to the network.

Thanks for the responses guys!
Have a splendid week ahead.

Maybe you are right when it comes to O2 but I can't tell you other networks have them locked in the UK. Not sure what country you are!

Cheers

I thought you specifically asked about an O2 locked one tho ??
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Lol can I ask what country you are for a start. I have the ipad Mini and I can tell you it is locked to a network. Google it & you would see other networks lock them. My friend has the ipad 3 and it is also locked to a network. I am not sure if I am allowed to say what networks they are.
