First of all, why is this even legal? If I sign a 24 contract and get a phone, what is the point in that network provider locking it? Even if I sell the phone I'm still tied into the contract.

My situation:

- Dad takes out O2 contract for an iPhone 5 and gives it to me, taking my iPhone 4 instead.

- I have his iPhone 5 on my O2 contract for several months. My iPhone 5 then gets replaced by Apple for a new model and new IMEI number.

- I decide to get it unlocked so I can sell it on when I want to upgrade.

I tried the O2 unlocking form and they keep telling me the security details don't match up. This whole situation really annoys me. I think I'm done ****ing about with network providers and contracts. Next time I'm going to just buy the thing unlocked from Apple.
 
I'm very much considering moving over to Vodafone for a 12 month Red 4G contract. I didn't realise it includes Spotify premium for free (worth 9.99/month which I currently pay for) and QC are offering £130 cashback. By the time the cost of Spotify is absorbed and the cashback is factored in it will cost me about £10/month for unlimited minutes, texts and 4GB/data - which I will need working in London with a 4G connection :D
