your service provider will do it for you at a cost.

 

[smuggs]

do i ask o2 which the phone is on or t-mobile that i want it to be. sorry if thats a silly question and how much should i pay £20 for example

 

[nads]

you ask your current service supplier to unlock the phone.

the cost will be what ever they charge sorry no idea.

02 will unlock an iPhone for free, (or at least they did)

Usually, after 12 months of owning the contract phone, the service provider gives the unlock code for free.

I can confirm the above, if it is on contract, 02 will unlock for free after 12 months. If it is PAYG, 02 will unlock it for a fee of £15. I did this with my 3g a while ago on PAYG - had to wait a couple of weeks but it was quite painless in the end (and it worked!)
