I'm on O2 and they have unlocked both my original iPhone and my iPhone 3G S. Pay monthly contract iPhones will be unlocked for free on O2 but Pay As You Go will have to pay to unlock their iPhones.

Below is text from O2 website (link above)
Can I 'unlock' my iPhone and use it on another network?
Pay Monthly customers
Yes. If you're a Pay Monthly customer, then your iPhone can be unlocked at any point for free. Don't forget that you will still need to honour the remainder of the minimum term of your contract.
Pay & Go customers
Yes, you can unlock your iPhone for a one-off cost of £15. You'll pay for this from the money topped-up on your phone.
But if you unlock your iPhone less than 12 months after you bought it, we'll take off the free Web & Wi-Fi Bolt On (that we added for the first 12 months). You can buy a Web & Wi-Fi Bolt On for £10 a month when you fill in the unlocking form. Find out more about the Web & Wi-Fi Bolt On here.
Complete the unlocking form - it will take up to 14 days for the iPhone to be unlocked and we'll text you to confirm the unlock request.
Place a non-O2 sim into the iPhone and connect it to iTunes via a USB cable. iTunes will confirm that your iPhone has been successfully unlocked.

  • Can I pre-order Iphone 5 from apple website and does it cost extra to pre-order?

    Can I pre-order Iphone 5 from apple website and does it cost extra to pre-order?

    your bound to get a long line up where ever you are near an official apple store, but if youtr planning on getting by one of your carreirs it depends where you live as i was able to get iphone on the day it was released at my carriers store, though im exploring other options atm, whether it worth buying it out on apple store, work out my average data usage and just buy data packs for like $5 - $20, but no idea what atm.

  • Pre Order iPhone 4 at at&t

    My mom was going to pre order iPhone 4 in her name using her credit card and then giving it to me to be my phone. However all the pre order problems wasn't able to get through. Now that she can get through it cannot find her address. She has a PO Box where she gets her mail for the mail is not delivered in her town and a physical address for fed ex and ups. She called apple and they couldn't find her address so they said she could not order it in her name and send to me because her name and address had to be the billing address. Also she called her local at&t store and they said she could come in and pre order it there, but now they are no longer taking pre orders at their store. Is there a way to call apple and have the account set up in her name, but send it to my address? Both companies seem to be giving the run around. All she want to do is pre order one when one becomes available and even pay for it during pre order at at&t store or over apple on the phone, but can't seem to do that since they are not allowing pre orders at at&t and apple can't find her address on their system. She has fed ex delivered there. You think someone at apple could over ride their own system and have it sent to address where fed ex and ups know where she is at The closest apple store is like 5 hours away.

    That has always been the case. Shipping address and billing address must be the same.

  • I pre order Iphone 6 this morning. Why was I charged a $30 upgrade fee when I havent been in a contract for almost 2 years? Also will they divide the price of the device over several bills like they have for me in the past?

    I pre order Iphone 6 this morning. Why was I charged a $30 upgrade fee when I havent been in a contract for almost 2 years? Also will they divide the price of the device over several bills like they have for me in the past?

        Hi there nursegrl02! We can help here with your questions regarding the upgrade fee and device charge. The upgrade fee is a one time fee that is applied when upgrading with a 2-year contract. If you pre-order with a two-year contract, you would need to add a credit card to your order as you will be charged for the device once it ships out. If you happen to purchase the iPhone with Verizon Edge, there is no upgrade fee. You will also be billed for the device in installments. You may have to pay a down payment with Edge.  Go to vzw.com/edge for more information.
    Did you upgrade with Verizon Edge or our Device payment plan in the past? If so, that is most likely why you were not charged an upgrade fee.
    Let us know if you have further questions.
    Thank you,

  • If I don't pre-order iphone 6, how long until they are available in stores?

    If I don't pre-order iphone 6, how long until they are available in stores?

        mln2603,
    Great question, it's important to have an idea when you can get the phone. Currently, the launch date annouced is September 19th, 2014. The stores will receive phones on that day as released and they will sell on the same bases, first come first serve.

  • I've just made a pre order of an iphone 6 plus and misssed to include apple care. how can i purchase apple care separately after pre ordering iphone 6 plus?

    how can i purchase Apple care after pre-ordering Iphone 6 plus?

    Hello jokjoklang,
    AppleCare+ can be purchased within 60 days of the purchase of your iPhone.
    Purchase AppleCare+ with your new iPhone. Or buy it within 60 days of your iPhone purchase:
    At an Apple Retail Store (inspection of iPhone and proof of purchase are required)
    OR call (800) 275-2273 (requires you to run a remote diagnostic and provide proof of purchase)
    See AppleCare+ Terms and Conditions for complete product details.
    AppleCare+ for iPhone

  • Where to Pre-Order iPhone 5? Apple or Verizon? Verizon Plan?

    Hi, so I plan to pre-order the iPhone 5 tomorrow morning, but I'm not sure where I should do this. I have Verizon, so should I preorder on their website, or Apple's (assuming the website is up and running)? I plan to do this around 6:30 am Central time, so about 4 hours in. Is this soon enough? I'd like to make sure I get it on the 21st.
    Also, I'm part of a family plan that we've had on verizon. We have two iPhone 4's both with unlimited because we were allowed to keep it on those phones after they removed unlimited option. The other two phones in the plan are basic phones, and the iPhone 5 will only be replacing one of the basic phones right now. So will it make us change the plan right then and there during preorder from verizon or something? And when we do have to change to a share everything plan, is 6 gb data er month enough for 2 moderate/slightly-heavy data users, one moderate/low data user, and one non-data using basic phone?
    Thanks in advance!
    -Josh
    (Both Verizon and Apple pre-orders I'm talking about are online.)

    It is very simple.  At the aforementioned time you point your browser to http://www.apple.com/store click the links on the store that are representative of the iPhone 5, choose your carrier, enter the requested information and follow the pages.  Just like placing an order on most any e-commerce site.

  • Pre-order Iphone 4

    Hello,
    I have a 3g right now. It was my first Iphone and Im really excited about the Iphone 4. Ive never pre-ordered a phone before, so I have a few questions.
    My upgrade eligibility went from April 10 to Sept 10 and now its at 6/11/10. My guess is that is in preparation for the new Iphone which is GREAT. Im glad they did it. Anyway, I plan on pre-ordering, not sure if from Apple or ATT (any suggestions?) I will have it sent to my house, but what do I do after that? Do I still need to take it into ATT to get it activated? I dont mind that, but just curious. I just dont want to deal with the crowds and not sure if I will get one or not when I go in there
    I dont have a credit card, so do you think it would be ok to use my moms? and have it shipped to my address?
    Thanks!

    When I last upgraded from 3G to 3GS, the preorder form asked for my iPhone number. When I received it, the Sim was preinstalled and "preactivated" (i.e., it knew the phone number). All I had to do to complete the activation it was connect to iTunes. When activation was complete, my older iPhone was deactivated.

  • Pre-order iphone 4 Apple Store UK

    Hi,
    Some questions over the pre-ordering of the iPhone4, my contract runs out in December this year, o2 say I can upgrade early and pay £100.
    Does anyone know that if I will be able to pre-order my upgrade through the Apple Store (UK), then collect at my local store.

    Him just thought i should inform you that I already have an orange contract...and as I already have a a contract and a number i was also going to buy the new iphone 4 pay as you go...then ring up and transfer my existing number over to the new iphone...ONLY to find out apple are playing really clever this time...and then new micro sim you either have to have as a brand new contract or a brand new pay as you go sim...now this isn't great for pay as you as you will know from previous pay as you go tariffs that you will get a years free internet and then thats bout it....they WILL NOT let transfer any existing orange or other network numbers over to the new iphone 4 as its a micro sim...its probably true that it is physically possible but this is the way Apple are getting you to buy more contracts......
    p.s. does anyone know when this pre-ordering starts..is it 12:01 of the 15th or 9am???

  • Pre-ordering iPhone 6 and keeping the same number.

    Hi,
    I currently have an iPhone 4S and want to pre-order the iPhone 6 for delivery as it saves me going to the apple store to just be told they're sold out. I want to keep my same mobile number is this an option on pre-ordering from the apple site or do I have to go via my mobile company and order a sim / or iPhone from them.
    Hope this makes sense.
    Thanks
    Laura

    With the major carriers - AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile in the USA - the phone is shipped with a SIM card keyed to your current number.  When you activate the phone after receiving it, service automatically transfers to your new phone, without having to contact your carrier. 

  • Pre ordering iphone with other lines upgrade

    How would I go about pre ordering the iPhone 4s using another lines upgrade on my plan? Would I be forced to activate in store when the phone arrives?
    Basically what I mean, is if I pre-order at Apple.com (there is a form you fill out which takes you to a pricing page depending on if you have an upgrade or not) how would I go about activating the phone on MY NUMBER while using another numbers upgrade? This will be the first time I have pre-ordered a phone (or had one delievered for that matter) so I have no idea how to activate it..

    You just purchase the phone on the line that is eligible for an upgrade (thus, using their upgrade and extending THEIR line's contract another 2 years) and when you receive your phone, you will activate it on THEIR line first (this is a very important step) then, you can reactivate their phone on their line, and activate the new iPhone 4S on your line. And you'll be good to go.
    Just keep in mind that it will extend the other line's contract, not yours, and you have to activate it on that line first.
    This isn't what I was told.  I was told to just place the order using the eligible line (my wife's) and when the phone arrives to just activate it using my phone number.
    If you do this, you will be charged the full price of the phone. Activating it on the line it was purchased on first accepts the terms of service you sign when you upgrade. If you don't do so, you are charged the full retail price of the phone, because you technically did not accept what you signed

  • Can i get my att upgrade discount if i pre order iphone 5 through apple?

    i want to pre order new iphone 5... was wondering if i use apple.com if i will be able to get it for the upgrade discounted price or if i have to go through att to get it?

    I had the same question. Yes, you can order the iPhone through the Apple online or Retail store. They have the ability to check your eligibilty during the order and apply your discounted price. I just confirmed this by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE. Additionally, you can go the online Apple Store > Shop iPhone > iPhone 5 (link below) and you can even check your eligibility there - proving that apple has that capability ;-)

  • In US until 9/25, possible to pre-order iPhone?

    Hi guys,
    a friend of mine is in the US until 9/25. Is it possible to preorder the phone online and grab it in SFO on the 19th or 20th? Will the phone be there on THAT day (since any delivery later than that would not be acceptable)?
    Didn't find an answer to this question yet, sorry if someone already brought that up
    Thanks in advance!

    You're a little late to pre-order. Many models are already sold out with expected delivery dates well into October.
    Not to mention the fact that the unlocked iPhone 6 has not been released in the US yet.

  • Estimate when apple will ship pre-order iphone 6 plus oredered sept. 12@ 4:30 am.

    just wondering when apple will ship my iphone 6 plus 128 gb gold. i place the order online sept. 12 @ 4:20 AM. my estimated delivery date i 3-4 weeks, oct 12-20. just wonder why some phone orders made after me have much earlier shipping dates?

    Do any of you know if I will ONLY be getting my phone during Oct 1 - Oct 6 or do I have a chance of getting it earlier?
         Oct 1 - Oct 6 is usually conservative.  You will probably get it sooner.  You'll get another email when it ships.
    Does anyone know where all they usually ship from?
         Pre-orders were shipped from China for the same reason they are built over there cheap labor.  Apple will probably continue this until all early orders are filled.
    Do they usually ship via Fedex or UPS?
         Again pre-orders came UPS. No idea if they will continue to use them only.

  • Pre-ordering iphone 4?

    I'm an existing customer and im wondering if i pre-order the iphone 4 on the 3rd will i recive the iphone 4 before the original launch date? (Before feb 10th)???? 

    ckd38 wrote:
    I'm not sure where the poster above me is getting his/her info, but there is no indication you would get the iPhone prior to it's feb 10 release date if you preordered on the 3rd. You will likely get the option of sending to your home or picking up an iPhone at a Verizon or apple retailer. From iPhone preorders in the past with at&t, at best, people received their phones on the same day or one day earlier than the scheduled release date. However, some who preordered had to wait a few weeks before they were shipped their phones. I'm not indicating that this is what will happen but this is just from past knowledge of a similar situation (albeit with AT&T).
    Correct. The earliest you should expect it is Feb. 9, and it might be the 10th.
