Is my phone unlocked?

    I requested O2 to unlock my phone, and today they sent me a sms saying it had been unlocked.

    I don't have another sim to put in it, so I can't check if it is or not (going abroad soon and I intend to buy another sim to put in it, so want to check it'll work first)

    I had a look online, and there's a lot of mention about getting a "Congratulations, your iPhone is unlocked" message after doing a restore in iTunes. I've done the restore but I didn't get any message. Maybe its just an AT&T message?

    Anyone able to help with this?

    You should of got the message after the restore. Maybe wait a while and try again. Any chance the phone was replaced under warranty

    I didn't get a message after restoring my phone either. Maybe ring apple tomorrow and ask them?

    I think the only way I'll know for sure is if I put a sim from another carrier into it. Anyone know how much I can pick one up for?

    i didnt have to restore.
    just plugged it into itunes.
    prompted "you have new carrier settings"
    downloaded and it popped up "your phone is unlocked"

    you have to have a sim in the phone that has not previously been used in the phone.

    This is the text I got from O2 when they unlocked my iPhone:


    Apple have confirmed the iPhone IMEI XXXXXXXX is set to unlock. To complete, connect the device to iTunes with a SIM never used in the iPhone. From O2.
