£149 at o2 on PAYG costs £15 to unlock at any time though I suspect you need to put credit on the phone. Probably the big difference is they come. With Apple warranty which could be up to the full year. You might get lucky and get a non activated on so a 3 sim put in first makes it no lock after that. 3 sims are free.

Hi,
I'm looking at the O2 refresh option on PAYG, I intend to use an EE SIM, the info from O2 site says unlock for £15 but only after 12 months - has any one ever managed to get it unlocked straight after purchase?

o2 aren't really used, they are returned within 14 days, there are different versions to chose from like new nearly perfect, the nearly perfect ones may have a small scratch but a refurb phone could have the same, with a battery you don't know how good it is and sadly on Argos they don't give you any of that information. If the battery goes in the o2 one you take it to apple in the warranty period and they replace it. With Argos since its refurb then.....

Just have a look at the photos that show giffgaff examples of what they call refurb units - good, very good or excellent! The 'good' is £149 but the example photos look completely battered and damaged outer cases!
Gifgaff brand new £199 unlocked though as a comparison.

I skimmed through expecting warranty info to be on its own, thanks for that. :smiley:
