Iphone 5 locked to network.

New to the Community. Please, help, help, help.

I have just bought an iPhone 5, at a Cash Converter store. Then the problem started. It is locked to 02 network. Which i feel, is the worst network for a smartphone. 02 is very mean on data allowance, which limits the enjoyment of any smartphone. As a new owner of the iphone 5, bought ligitimately from a store and with the bill of sale to prove it. Then, why should any network have the right to restrict the new owner's choice to move on to other network? In reality, the phone does not belong to me, even thought i paid for it. It's still the property of 02. Complete joke.

Please, how can i get this phone unlocked?

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.2

Yes, I went to an 02 store and was told,"they can't do anything". Will go to another store and try again. Thank you.

Buy an O2 PAYG sim make calls and establish a record in UK on

Uk network then go to the

O2 website to request an unlock as an established customer

Hi, did you mean the network the phone is locked on or the network I want to move on to? Thanks.

Only the network the phone is locked to can legally authorize unlocking it. If you don't meet their requirements, then you're not going to get it unlocked.

If you hate O2 so much, then why in the world did you purchase a phone that's locked to them?

Return it and get your money back and buy a phone from a legitimate source instead of whining about it.
