Unlocking phones

[Anonymous]

Can you use an o2 on a phone you have unlocked from o2

[MI5 · Accepted solution]

Yes, no problem mate

The phone will accept any U.K. SIM card after unlocking and also foreign SIM cards as long as your phone works in those particular network frequencies.

I would recommend using the officil O2 process to unlock though as some market stall unlocks can give problems later on http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Other-Products-Services/Unlocking-an-O2-phone-to-use-a-different-SIM-ca...

When buying a PAYG phone from O2, do you have to purchase a sim/top up as I already have a GiffGaff sim that uses the O2 network?

Yes, they will charge you a £10 top up.

Have you looked at the giffgaff phones as they might be cheaper?
