OnePlus 5T pay as you go VAT invoice? / Unlocked?

[Anonymous]

Hi

If I purchase a OnePlus 5T on pay as you go online will I get VAT invoice/reciept for the phone purchase on checkout?

Can anyone confirm they have bought one of these recently and they are still unlocked for use on all networks? Ive read a number of of posts that they are definatly unlocked / OP dont allow them to be locked to O2 only but not read of anyone whose bought one confirming they have found it to be the case. 

Thanks

The official O2 line is that they are unlocked. The only doubt we have is regarding the introduction of the O2 support for wifi calling and whether this actually locks the phone. We had one person report that it was locked, but only one report of this so not substantiated.
We need confirmation of this from @Chris_K please?
You should be able to get a VAT receipt for the phone, but it may take a few phone calls to customer service to get it as O2 are notoriously bad at providing them.

Our device team have confirmed that the device is not locked to O2 - it's an 'open device'. Hope that clarifies things.
