    Hi,
    I have an iPhone 4s bought directly from the Apple store online , and so unlocked from day one. I'm currently using a tescomobile prepay sim , but am thinking of changing to a different prepay provider. While I am pretty certain that this should be ok, someone mentioned to me that the phone might be now locked to the tesco network, as this was the first sim I used. Can anybody confirm for definite if this might be the case.:)

    Thanks

    99% sure it will be fine, seeing as you bought it unlocked direct from Apple.
    The only time Apple ship locked phones is when you get a replacement through warranty.
    Easiest way to find out is borrow a Sim from a different network off a friend and try it.

    That only ever happens if a phone was bought sim free from CarPhoneWarehouse. When you first put in a sim, it locks it to that network.

    Your fine to try any sim you want, once it's sim free from Apple direct, you can try as many SIM cards as you like.
