I applied on the 10th n got the text yesterday
"Your iphone is now unlocked. To use a non-o2 sim card in your iPhone swap the existing sim and connect to iTunes as usual"
I'm yet to try another simcard

O2 are a pain...
I requested my PAC code and they are so difficult... giving me stupid excuses about the reception and 3G being bad due to an old SIM and giving me the loyalty bantar... It don't mean anything if you get crap reception and 3G service...
Finanly got there in the end... Now need to wait for a tx message to come...
Here I come Voda... Never thought I would...
Cheers
ENJOY

requested my PAC code from O2 at 6pm last night, had the text with the code at 8am this morning.
The retentions guy tried a similar tactic with me (old sim card, never heard of data issue before etc etc). I just said "give me the pac code"! and I think he got the message I wasn't interested in anything else!
tmob now have the code and I'll be ported back to them on Thursday
still, at the end of the day, o2 finally did something right (and very unexpected)... free iphone unlock

I still think it's a clever move in the face of competition from Orange and Vodafone - I wonder if it might be something that only O2 can actually do, now that their agreement with Apple has lapsed?
If it winds up that all three providers have the same pricing (and it's looking that way) but only O2 can offer an unlock on their phones, then that's a pretty good USP for O2. You can bet that the network performance between the three will start to level out too as previously O2 iPhones start to shift elsewhere, and the others gain new iPhone (and other smartphone) subscribers.

I looked at Vodafone and Orange, but apart from tmob having a fair use policy of 1gb compared with 750mb/500mb with the other 2, I also considered that Orange and Vodafone would both be having alot of iphones on their network, as well as other similar devices. Tmob actually don't have a great deal of phones that would have high data usage and so I figured it was the better choice to move to for now.

I was looking for a network with stronger reception... as I hate getting no service on my phone which I got with O2 and use to get it with T-Mobile... So I have voted Voda on a 30 Day SIM ONLY... so will try and see how it works otherwise will look at another network...
Lets see how it works out...

my port happened this morning. took less than an hour from when I lost O2 to when my number was on tmob.
no more O2 for me! yippee!
it still brings a smile to my face when I'm doing data on tmob, its just so much smoother and error free
