Just wondering as I want to sell on the k750i I was sent. Will it be unlocked to any SIM or locked to O2? If so, is there any easy way to unlock it?

Thanks.

And the phone? It will 90% be unlocked. Is there any O2 logos when you start the phone up?

My dad just changed to T-Mobile from O2, he kept his phone and he still gets the O2 logos and all that jazz.

I spose you could flash it to get rid of them? Not sure how though...

The phone was sent to me by o2 CS as part of a tariff change deal. I havent started the phone up as I wanted to avoid unpacking it all. I just wondered if it was standard for o2 to lock their contract phones.

As its been said before most if not all o2 phones are unlocked to other networks. Ive never had a locked phone with o2 in the 4 yrs i was with them so i would imagine the n70 is unlocked.

Just put another network sim in the phone to make sure but im 99% sure it isnt locked:).

Even their xda phones are unlocked believe it or not.

Hmmmmm, I'd call and double check I know a few people that this has happened to, and when O2 found out they sent the a bill for the sim free price.
