I'm a SIM only O2 customer, have been with them for years.
I've seen an 'Unwanted upgrade' O2 supplied Lumia 925 phone for sale locally. I need an unlocked phone as for two weeks per year I use a foreign SIM. I also want a phone that's 4G capable (My Lumia 620 is not) The price is quite good.
If I were to purchase the phone would O2 supply me an unlock code (Free) using the link below or would they only supply this to the original owner?

Thanks.

As a monthly customer you will be able to get it unlocked free. As stated previously just make a few calls with your sim in before using the unlock form.

As a P&G customer it would have to be on the network for 12 months before O2 would unlock it.
The original owner could get it unlocked if he was a contract customer (presumably he is as it's an upgrade).

Thanks for the replies.
I'm not a PAYG )2 customer, I'm SIM only (300 O2-O2/300 any net/unlimited txts/250MB data) which I think qualifies me as a pay monthly customer?
If I could unlock for free then I'd maybe buy it, if I have to start involving other people I'll give it a miss.
Thanks.

Thanks all, picking a new 925 up this evening. I should probably start a new thread but hopefully someone who knows can answer me a couple of quick questions.
Currently using an old O2 SIM that was chopped to micro SIM size manually. Today I ordered a 4G capable micro SIM from an O2 Guru (Thanks Nick) online, should be delivered in 2-3 days. I intend using my Lumia 620 Windows Phone until the new SIm arrives and then I'll start using the 925.
So questions:
My plan is to log in to my Windows phone account and remove the 620 and do a reset on it. I should still be able to make calls, send texts and surf with my current SIM. Is this correct?
Then without inserting a SIM into the new 925 I should be able to associate it with my Microsoft account and download all the contacts, apps, emails etc that I normally use and have it fully set up in readiness for the new SIM arriving early next week. Is this also correct?
Thanks.
