Could be that your phone is already unlocked

Could be

A few questions:

1. What make and model is the phone?
2. Did you get it directly from O2?
3. Have you filled the form via your My O2, or by using the O2 App, or just by sending an email?
4. Have you had any response and what was the response?

@Lomaso It isn't locked.

Just use a different sim.

That ^^^^^^. CPW phones are sold unlocked. (with the exception of some iPhones)

As I said initially to try as it may not be locked.

Just try the card from the new network as car phone do not sell locked phones.
