only way then can tell is cross check the serial number with activated O2 phones...
any other way will be illegal (if you have expressed you do not want to send info to Apple)
be interested to know what they say Luke if a UK iPhone needs repairing... what they say, there is no way on earth that then can enforce that you need to activate it to enable warranty on it.. (also, unlocking may void the warranty, but lack of activating it shouldn't)

Hi all
I reckon they typed in your serial number and it came up as not activated IMO that is the only way they could know, well legally anyway.

well they say on their site:
Our records indicate this product has not been activated. Learn how to activate your iPhone. Please note that warranty service is not dependent on activating your iPhone. For more information, please contact us.
They can make the assumption that the iphone has been unlocked, but that doesnt sound like apple atall

Their records probably show that the serial number you've given them has not been activated through iTunes. I wasn't aware that activating but not unlocking leaves your warantee in place. Apparently they also collect bits of data from your iPhone everytime you use the stock and weather. Probably RSS feeds too, since safari send them to their servers to parse. And probably everytime you sync your iPhone, sending more data if you dont tick the 'leave me alone' checkbox.

Well whatever network you are on. They know what phone is registered on that network.
Im sure apple have a log of any phone legitimately activated via itunes, if your phone is not one of them, im guessing they will show you the door. Which personally is a bit rude of them.
