If you are on a contract with O2 you can unlock your phone for FREE at anytime.
My advice is to do this whether you want to stay with O2 long term or not, you’ve got nothing to loose whatever you decide to do.
If you are a Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) customer, you can also unlock for a relatively low cost one off fee of £15 deducted from your credit balance.
This is a much more cost effective and long term solution than jail-breaking your iPhone through a local mobile shop as O2?s unlock process is permanent and a “proper” solution.

Knowing how to get your mobile phone’s IMEI code is quite a handy tip.
I recently needed to access my IMEI code when getting my old iPhone 3G handset unlocked through O2 – see next post!
The easiest way to do this is using the keypad – no need to switch off and read the small text on the SIM card.
Just enter the code *#06# on the keypad, as soon as you hit the second “#” the 15 digit IMEI code appears

These sites are so popular they have millions of members in UK and, as a result, they get attract lucrative money saving offers to consumers from the big brands out there.
If you haven’t heard of them it can be quite hard to believe. Not surprisingly, they’ve been featured on many newspaper articles and consumer radio and TV such as the BBC’s One Show and ITV’s DayBreak.

WARNING: some require the first £5 you save in an annual subscription fee (Quidco.com), but others such as TopCashBack.co.uk are COMPLETELY FREE!
My personal recommendation is to join both. Surf the web as normal whilst you are selecting what you want to buy and then compare the best deals when your ready to actually purchase.

Opportunity to bag a bargain. My daughter, who’s a hard up medical student, is offering her personalised private number plate T30 SSA to sensible bidders.
Great present for the Tessa or Tess in your life, especially with Christmas coming up. How about it Vernon (Kay) – sure Tess would love it!
If you are interested, please make a genuine offer. This car number plate has been valued by a number of independent vendors, so we have a good idea of the going rate for such a prized number.
With two daughters, at different Universities right now, one of my main tasks this year has been to figure out what their best options are for Internet connectivity.
Like many students in their second or third year, University accommodation is not an option (pity as you typically get an Internet connectivity as part of the rental package). So, they asked me to research what their best options would be. In summary, high capacity broadband and telephone line rental options for the houses they share with four or five other students.
Rather than you having to do the same thing, this article explains what to look for and my “best buy” given the requirements of;
- students are notoriously heavy users
- so that they can all access via laptops throughout the house
- ideally free evening and weekend calls
- to call Mum and Dad for free – maybe!
- MOST IMPORTANTLY no extended 12+ month contractual tie-ins
- as they will only be there for nine months of the year.
