I'm not sure that this is how it works with the iPhone. You buy the handset from Apple/O2/CPW, but you activate it via iTunes, and it is in the activation that you are required to enter into the contract with O2.

If you can unlock the phone and therefore never go through the official iTunes Activation, you will have opened the handset up to use on another network without ever signing up with O2 for anything.
At least, from the wording at Carphone Warehouse, that's how it looks to me.
