Chris from Mobile Tech Addicts successfully, and legitimately unlocked his iPhone today. O2 did the unlock and now he’s off to play around with Vodaphone. Nice guys huh. I don’t see AT&T doing this in the US… EVER. Not unless it’s court ordered. I still find it somewhat shady for carriers to be able to lock a phone down to their carrier. That’s like Visa saying that you can only use their credit card in stores that they designate. Anyhow, Chris is happy over in Europe now because of O2.

As we reported a few days ago, o2 have promised to unlock iPhones that are on pay monthly anytime and after 12 months if your iPhone is on pay as you go. They have a form that you need to fill in to request the unlock and then wait a maximum of 14 days. My situation was a little different, yes I have an iPhone on pay monthly but I bought an iPhone 3GS on pay as you go back in July.
