Hello, I just have a question regarding recently purchased O2 iPad mini with retina display (iPad mini 2) on contract :

Are they locked to O2 or unlocked?

Thanks.

They will be locked if it's a cellular / wifi model.

Confirm by inserting a non O2 SIM card in it.

Edit : this help link is to unlock phones but the jist should be the same.

O2 lock and brand every device it sells.
Note: Branding not applicable to Apple products but applies to everything else.
