They will be unlocked, as they use the same stock as O2 and they also use simfree phones.

The only place that sells unlocked pay as you go phones is Carphone Warehouse. They buy all their stock from the manufacturer in bulk and bundle it with either a pay monthly or pay as you go sim card depending on the need, much cheaper, where as P4U have to buy them from the network in smaller batches.
My opinions on this forum are that of my own and not of the company I work for. |

maybe it is worth phoning up o2 and getting them to give you discount.
Can I point out that this thread should really be in the "General" forum rather than "Non Mobile"
