Potentially that might still be locked to a network.
Always check with them when you buy it that it isn't locked to a network.”
Yeh but carphone warehouse sim free phones are unlocked
If it was a sim free phone from a network then yeh it would be locked to that specific network. e.g if you buy it from an o2 store it'd be locked to o2.

Yep, if its unlocked you can put any sim in it. If its from o2, you can put an o2, giff gaff or tesco mobile sim in it.
