Unlocking a phone

I've bought an unwanted upgrade phone but it's locked to O2.
Need to unlock it to allow me to use on BT.
Anyone any experience of unlocking and/or know of a good unlock site?

Every phone shop and market has someone who does them. I had a Samsung done two weeks ago for ?12. Worth a try, Quiney. :-0)

Not absolutely sure its locked ( not received it yet ) the seller said it was on O2, but I also thought that most Samsungs are supplied unlocked these days.
Just asked the question in advance with a bit of forward planning.

If it was bought from O2 originally
The phone won't be locked .... Probably not if it was bought at CPWarehouse too!!

Thanks for all the advice.
Phone arrived and was locked to O2.
Had a look at a couple of online sites but opted for a local phone shop - ?10 and all done.

Nice phone! (don't tell Derek)
