Hi all

Quick question as above, would I need to get an unlock code from VM for an iphone (4S) about to end it's contract or are they already unlocked. Thanks

I believe all iphones sold in the uk lock to the first network they connect to, so should be a yes its locked to VM.

Thanks Chrysalis, i did have a look online and there's conflicting information. Hopefully it won't be too difficult to get them to send me an unlock code.

I guess I could just try a different sim and see what happens.
