Please vote in the poll above so we can establish which Samsung Galaxy S2s are locked or unlocked.
Please only vote if you bought your phone from O2.
Thanks!

Thanks for the one vote so far, hopefully this can prove to be a useful poll

Should there not be a SIM Free options, as that's what I purchased, which is different to PAYG.

But this poll is asking about O2 phones, not the SIM free ones...

Quite. I'd expect a SIM free one to be unlocked!
Sim free i have seen so far have been £500 +

Just bought from O2 in Ealing - PAYG locked (but subset unlocked, so GiffGaff works)
Odd how some are locked and others arent.

First shipment to O2 was probably unlocked, subsequent shipments seem to be locked. This quite often happens when supply is limited initially.
My PAYG is unlocked from Bridgend

Can someone confirm that you can see if the phone is unlocked on the spot when you go and buy from O2 in-store. As in you can open it and check.
I assume you can but I just want to make sure. This is my first time buying a phone in the UK and I inted to use on 3 or giffgaff depending on the quality (and reliaiblty) of the 3G signal.

Unlocked out of the box and working with T-Mobile contract SIM.
Purchased a hour ago from O2 store on London Wall.
Got it from store, it is locked.
Picked mine up from the Winchester store on PAYG about an hour ago, and is working perfectly with my Vodafone SIM.
Note that I put this SIM straight in, without ever switching it on with an O2 SIM -- not sure if it does something weird like lock itself to the first SIM that's ever in it?
Mines locked on contract . I put my tmob sim in straight away but it came up with request for code, then emergency calls only. Ive rung 02 already and requested unlock code - they say 7 to 10 working days. In no real rush, as I have my desire z

Recieved mine, it's brill.
Bought on an O2 contract (ordered Monday) and it is unlocked out of the box
Well I got mine on d 27th at phones4u, but they only had 1 left and they still offered it to me on orange, vodaphone or o2. So I'm guessing it's unlocked. Haven't been able to check yet tho, I've only got orange sim cards in me gaff.

Wow $35! I got my unlock code from cellunlocker.net for only $8, took 3hrs for them to send the code.
Edit: just checked... They charge $33 for bell note. don't know why Rogers is so much cheaper to unlock.

Actually since Rogers owns Fido, you can interchange the sim's from Rogers to Fido and vise versa with a locked device.
They made that change a few years ago.

same here, used cellunlocker.net for unlocking Rogers locked Galaxy Note i717R... $8, code within 6 hours (got it in the morning)... didn't have Bell sim card so I could not open network unlock input even with #7465625*638*#... finally went to a local mall and asked a guy at mobile stand to borrow Bell sim card... no charge... entered code... "Network Unlock Successful"...
however I am with FIDO and when I type *#7465625# to check if phone is in fact unlocked I get to black personalization screen and it force-closes in couple of seconds... no unlock status information provided... just crash... Could that be connected to the fact that Galaxy Note is network unlocked but it not rooted?

in 6 hours hey, i've been waiting since last night! are there any new methods to unlocking?
I had my s3 supplied by orange UK and thought that it would probably be locked to orange although there was no branding on the box or phone.
Started looking over the net to see how I could check and found that if you enter *# 7465625# and they read off or disabled then your phone is completely unlocked.
Mine is which is a real bonus so well chuffed.
Sorry if this was already known to everyone but was new to me and thought it might be useful for some people.

Got mine direct from O2, presumed it was locked down tight but using the code you provided it shows as fully unlocked.
Bonus!
Thanks for pointing this out
Could be due to the delay just to get the phones out the networks haven't had time to put their code into Android, perhaps when they get all the preorders out future ones will.
Mine is from Affordable mobiles so I know it will not be locked
I was told that I had a version of orange software on here, although no orange apps etc. But phone was really buggy so flashed with the latest release, been really good since the.
Just pleased its not locked also, helps in the event I don't remain happy with it and decide to sell it.

It certainly looks that way! I got mine on preorder and it came unlocked, whilst other O2 folks who waited till after release got a locked phone.
I asked O2 what benefits there were for preordering with them but they didn't mention it being unlocked! In fact, they didn't mention any benefits!
Vodafone contract handset "box only" means no contract just paid £475 for handset and it's unlocked.
SIII'ed
On orange uk and its locked
Also i can't believe orange have removed the firmware update option with there bloatware
Is T-Mobile batch unlocked? If so, would it work abroad?

Got my rather wonderful Galaxy S3 on Vodafone contract.
Unfortunately that USSD code doesn't seem to work on mine.
The phone and firmware is unbranded though.
So I'm guessing its open to all networks?
Plus the phone arrived in a Samsung white box, and not a Vodafone one.

Hey guys i live in india and ive been following the DNA and J butterfly news very closely. Ive read that the DNA has GSM capabilities on international networks. It pains me that htc hasn't released an international variant and would like to know if ..... well i can use the phone in india. Im using the one x right now but would love a true HD 5 inch behemoth as my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

A video was just released on YouTube showing the DNA running on att hspa. So I would assume it will work just about anywhere unless if verizon releases a patch to stop it from working on att.

I bought this phone at eBay and I've been using it all around Latin America with no issues so far, I've used it in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Peru with a different sim card and operator for each country. Everything works perfectly Hsdpa data, messaging and phone calls, please have in account in Latin America the frequencies are the same as US at&t ones.

All you have to do is check the band frequencies to make sure that your operator supports the ones that the Dna uses for gsm

Hey, a friend is in New York this week and I asked for an HOX+. He asked where he's able to find a store that sells it unlocked.
Does anyone know?
Thanks!

So there's no unlocked version?
