Hi, so I've bought a payg phone from o2 and requested an unlock however they sent an email back stating they couldn't do it as it wasn't an o2 phone. I've had nothing but trouble with them over last month for different things now this. How can I get o2 to unlock the phone I bought from them??

@Dib

That usually means the phone is already unlocked https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/How-to-Guides/Unlocking-an-O2-phone-to-use-a-different-SIM-card/ba-p/1...

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.

No need to top up to check.
If it accepts the plusnet sim it's unlocked.

Was the phone brand new from an O2 shop @Dib ?
