Solved: Re: transfer to bt

Anonymous · ‎01-02-2017

I am trying to trandfer my mobile from o2 to bt. I am using pay as you go.

They are trying to charge £15 to "unlock" my phone. Does anyone know how to get round this?

The only way around it is to put a contract sim in your phone so the unlock will be free.
The £15 is standard PAYG charge.

Bear in mind that if you have a P&G phone it needs to be on the network for 12 months unless an iphone.
