Is your iPhone out of contract with O2 yet? If you’ve been eyeing up those Orange tariffs and cheaper tethering costs, here’s something you’ll be happy to hear: O2 will let you take your precious Apple blower to another network, no questions asked. Want to know how? Read on and we’ll tell you.
Speaking to The Times, the head of O2, Matthew Key, has confirmed that “once the iPhone becomes available on other UK networks, we will allow O2 customers to unlock their iPhones.”
iPhone price tariffs: how they stack up
We’ve since confirmed this is the case with O2’s press office. The news means you’ll be able to take your iPhone on to another network to take advantage of better tariffs or stronger signal in your area – once you’ve served your full contract of course. iPhone owners on pay as you go will be able to take their handset to a rival network after 12 months too, for a £14.97 fee. All you have to do to up and go is call O2 customer service and ask to have your iPhone unlocked.
Of course, unless you know you’ll be getting several extra bars of signal strength by moving your iPhone, it’s worth checking how tariffs stack up – you could be stung by a stingy fair use policy. Be sure to read our breakdown of what’s on offer.
