Solved: Are iPads locked with O2 network?

Anonymous · ‎02-12-2014

Quick question. I got an iPad air from O2 a couple of months ago and I wanna ask if it's locked with O2 network or not. I m planning to travel in the next months and I want to use foreign sim cards for cheap internet access.

Thanks

Yes, they are locked and yes you can unlock. Follow details here http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Other-Products-Services/Unlocking-an-O2-phone-to-use-a-different-SIM-ca...

Yes the Cellular ones are.

Try another UK sim in it.

Stupid question, can you actually unlock an iPad lol

Just do an unlock request over live chat, they can do this as the forms are for phones and not tablets.

Will try to follow the procedure.

Thanks for the efford guys (and gals)!

Not a stupid question 😄

I would think its the same process of unlocking an iPhone. Request via the unlock form and insert another non O2 UK SIM card on receiving the email.
