Good grief, and that these are a subsidiary of Telefónica… it's incredible but good. The truth is that Telefónica's mobile company in the British Isles has taken an advantageous step forward for users, and that above all it creates a good reputation (something that they seem to ignore here).
The truth is that this has arisen as a result of the termination of O2's exclusive contract, and they will allow the release of all iPhones, a great detail, although as everything could not be rosy, we will have to fulfill the contract anyway.
Now the question is ... What will Telefónica do in Spain when the exclusivity runs out? Hopefully this.

I still have another year on my contract, but I have seen cases of people who have already released their iPhone with movistar in an official way (although in a rather messy way), but if it is fulfilled, the possibility of releasing after the permanence is fulfilled, something else It is how I know about the service and how informed the movistar commercials are ... also the release is not through a code, but it is Apple who releases it (or so I know of the cases that I know)
On the phone, once the contract is finished, they have no problem, even if they tell you otherwise before they cut your line, I say it from my own experience.
Luck!
Here in telefonica Movistar venezuela it is something different, they sell it prepaid (without a contract) too, so they give you a movistar sim to use, but if you don't want to use it, you don't use it and you unlock it with blacksn0w, yes, the phone They sell it to you at the price of an eye, very expensive.
What happens that in England the laws are how they play and they also enforce them
About a month ago I had to call Movistar Spain to release the iPhone. The person who attended me after asking for various information told me that he could not perform the operation because he had to complete the stay (24 months) and had only completed half.
The next day when I synchronized the device I got a screen in iTunes saying that my device had been jailbroken.
So I of you would try it since only a few minutes are lost, the call is free and you can have your terminal free.
Greetings and good luck!
Since 609, many people have already told me that the iPhone 3G cannot be released until after 2 years, which is a contract that they have signed with Apple ... and there is no way they will release it.
Now in the end I have gotten the 3GS after many fights with Vomistar and I wonder ... Can I release the iPhone 3G even after having signed another 24-month contract with this new iPhone 3GS? Because if they see that I still have a contract with the new one, there should be some legal way to free my iPhone 3G, right?
Greetings 😉
