How to unlock an iPhone

[Maple]

Can anyone offer advice on how to get an iPhone 4 unlocked? My boy has got his sister's hand-me-down phone but it's locked to O2 and his contract for his ZTE phone is with Virgin. He tells me that he has successfully cut the SIM card down to size. I've found somewhere in Penge willing to do it in 4-9 days for ?40. Any better ideas please?

You could try one of the little phone shops in Rye Lane. Or hang around ED station and ask anyone in a hoodie.

Does your daughter still have an O2 contract - if so you should be able to get them to do it for free.

Otherwise you could get a PAYG SIM and then O2 will charge ?15 to unlock it.
