yeah, O2 will unlock my old iPhone for £15. (Apple do it.) Takes about 48 hours.

Why is O2 charging £15 to unlock the iPhone? Is it a pay monthly or pay as you go? If pay monthly, they should do it for free.

Check this.

Yeah, your right. O2 website says free and 14 days for monthly. (Why so long?)

O2 PAYG = £15 for unlock.

I was having to take in a lot of info from O2 and Three yesterday regarding different monthly tariffs for a new phone and 30 day rolling PAYG tariffs for my old phone (once unlocked). O2 must have quoted for both monthly and PAYG unlock fees and I remembered the wrong one. (It was busy in there.)

I visited quite a few places (civilised I may add) where three coverage was non-existent. These included my aunt's in West Sussex and my brother's in Suffolk, not normally places you would expect to have dodgy network coverage.

If I am travelling any distance, I always take my old (Vodaphone) SE K750i with me as well, just in case (O2 coverage has been 'patchy' in some quite suprising places too).

I don't think there are any networks that work everywhere. Even in our main local shopping area (in the middle of a south coast city of 200,000 people) O2 coverage will vary depending on which side of the precinct you are.

I have checked the coverage maps for O2 and Three.  Coverage for a lot of West Sussex north of the A27 is a either patchy or non-existent or 'good outdoors' ( = sh#t), on both networks.
