Is my phone unblocked?

[Peter110a]

I had an iphone with an O2 contract. That contract has ended and I now have a new phone and contract with O2. How can I tell if my old phone is unblocked - I don't have another network's sim card

@Peter110a 

All o2 phones for the past few years have been unlocked, so your handset should be unlocked.. 

The best way to test is with another networks sim card...

When I got mine through the contract, it was indeed unlocked. Do you have another sim you can trY?

See guide Guide: Unlocking an O2 phone to use a different SIM card

@Peter110a O2 stopped selling locked phones in mid 2018. If your phone was purchased after that it won't be locked.

If you have iOS14 or above

Since iOS 14, Apple has included a new section called Network Provider Lock which will instantly tell you the status of the device. To access it go to Settings > General > About.

Scroll down to locate the Network Provider Lock section. If the iPhone is unlocked, it should say that there is No SIM restrictions. Should you see a different status, this means that the iPhone is locked.
