O2 will let you know within 24 hours if you are eligible for unlocking.
Usually your contract period of the iPhone has to be finished and
iPhone originally purchased, by you, from O2.

Once you satisfy the criteria, they will send a request off to Apple
and they will mark your imei number as unlocked on their servers.

To complete, simply plug the iPhone into iTunes with a different
networks sim card and a message will inform you that its unlocked .
