I have a Samusung Core prime on pay as you go and locked to O2.

so i took it into a shop the other day and they tried it but told me that they could not unlock it and to try online by getting a code.

so i have tried that and given them the phone information to get told they cant even unlocked it(send me a code).

so what do O2 install on there phones so that they cant be unlocked?

so is this the end of the road for me trying to get it unlocked?

Many years ago unlocking a phone like a Nokia 3310 was as easy as going to a guy in the local market, now not so much. There is nothing on the handset software wise which prevents unlocking, its just the actual lock mechanism is tied to the hardware.

The only way to legitimately unlock your device is to be go through O2 directly

That will help you out, if you are on contract they will be able to do it immediately, else pay as you go you have to wait 12 months from purchase.

EDIT:

You might want to try on ebay although the costs are similar
