I read on the guide that O2 now supply all phones unlocked. When did that start? I've just upgraded two numbers and received the new phones today. I will be selling the two iPhone 8 Plus that have now been replaced. They were supplied in August 2018....
I'm off to France in 3 weeks and I'd like to use my iPad there. It has cellular capability (locked to O2, as far as I'm aware). I don't expect to have wifi available a lot of the time. Is it possible to use a payment plan or one-off plan abroad?
Can someone explain to me why I, as a long standing O2 customer, can't get any 4G in France? I just keep being told O2 don't support it, which is insane in 2017.... my pals in Virgin and Vodaphone are using the same French network and have no problem...
