    they all lock them. you could buy a cheap nokia and get it unlocked by posting in the thread at the top of the forum. the newer ones can't be unlocked though, like the 6233, 6234, n70 etc

    yeah sometimes o2 phones are unlocked and i don't think any of their bill ones are locked but there's no guarantee of it. having said that, o2 aren't ****s about giving unlock codes like other networks

    In my experience, O2 post pay handsets are unlocked. I've never had one that was locked. Also, 3 are HORRENDOUS for getting unlock codes from!
