from what i remember it does need to be unlocked to accept any other sim. the contract holder has got to do it. i did it with o2 and they were complete tossers trying anything to make me stay. they said it would take a week to unlock (never happened) so i went on the o2 site and spoke via text or summat to the online help and they had no record of me wanting it unlocked! i was foccin blazing to say the least. i told them exactly what i thought of the treatment i had received and said i was taking it further and low and behold he said give it an hour then plug into itunes and it will be unlocked. bingo! went and got a sim from tesco for a tenner for more minutes and more texts and internet and the carrier is o2!!! why cant they do it as cheap as tesco?
