Network unlocking ?

[Anonymous]

hi there

I have a Samsung tocco lite which is network locked.

My minimum term 12 month contract recently ended so i am now on a 30 day contract.

Does O2 charge for network work unlocking, if so is there a free way to unlock the phone.

many thanks

from the o2 help site

Can I unlock my O2 mobile to use it on a different network?
If you have an O2 iPhone click here
For Pay Monthly and Pay & Go customers
If you're a Pay Monthly customer then you can request for your handset to be unlocked at any time, free of charge. The only exception are handsets which are exclusive to O2 such as the Palm which remain locked to the O2 network as we want our customers to have the very best Smartphone experience.
Don't forget that you'll still need to honour the remainder of the minimum term of your contract even if you place a non-O2 sim into your phone.
If you're a Pay & Go customer, your O2 mobile can be unlocked 12 months after purchase for a one-off £15 fee which we'll deduct from your airtime balance.

Ring customer services is my advice

Rang O2 and it was free, used to be £15.00 so well done O2

Excellent news, hope this is for all phones. Does anyone know if phones still have to be registered fot 12 months before being unlocked (iphones aside)?
