Is it possible for me to have a family member pay for the O2 eSIM (should they pass the credit check) and I can then add it to my phone?

@TheJobinator Are you sure it's locked to O2. They haven't locked phones for the last 5 years

You can find out if your iPhone is locked by going to Settings > General > About. If "No SIM restrictions" appears next to Carrier Lock, your iPhone is unlocked.

 

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.

@TheJobinator 

Yes it is possible and they will need to pass a credit and affordability check.

Anyone can then use the sim but regardless of who uses it, the named person will be responsible for the bills.

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.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.

The alternative would be to have your second SIM on another network. 

There are other advantages to that too.
