> Any current O2 phones locked?
Bookmark topic
My O2 contract is coming up for upgrade but I've got a VPA 1605 I want to use for O2 so I'm considering choosing an O2 phone for my Vodafone contract. Quite fancying something simple like a K800 or N73, but need to be sure that they're unlocked. It seems to be mixed as I've seen times when O2 lock these types of phones but other times they don't - any assistance greatly appreciated.

As far as I know O2 don't lock their contract handsets at all, just tried an Orange sim in the Nokia 6131 I got when I renewed my contract last month and it works fine!
Not sure about their 3G handsets though, I've got an O2 6680 which is locked to the O2 network, but I got that secondhand so not sure if that was a contract or pay as you go handset.

Contract: Normally unlocked
PayasyouGo: Normally locked
A friend of mine has an N73 on O2 contract, it's not locked, so I'd say your 6680 was PnG, Sammy!

Thanks for the quick responses, much appreciated.
Really tempted by the N73 as it seems a good size, batterlife and it takes mini sd. But...it's a Nokia and I'm sure in a couple of months it will be covering dust because it's falling apart and the bugs irritate me.
K800i is a good solid phone and does everything I need but it's annoying it's yet another memory card format and it's not much different from my W900. I like the idea of the W950, with a camera, wi-fi and an M600 keyboard I would have gone for it but as it stands I'd rather spend the money on a dedicated 4GB mp3 player.
Decisions, decisions..

I know - that's why I said if it did have a camera, wi-fi and an M600 keyboard I'd buy it.

I can't get my back cover off my Silver K800i otherwise i'd check for you
I think it could be locked tho, it has a lot of 02 Menu's for the internet

Is your phone PayandGo, Miss UK??
Don't take it apart! On the standby screen, tap: Left(joystick), *, *, Left(joystick). Should show all locks and their status...
