Unhappy Unlocking Blackberry on O2

Hi,

Though I would have a go at this Blackberry lark so got me one from E-bay.

However, it is locked to O2 and I am on T-mobile.

I have tried to get O2 to unlock it but it seems like a constant circle of contradiction:

Person1) they will only unlock phones that are in contract
Person2) the phone is not in a contract so it cant be unlocked
Perosn3) they will only unlock phones that are in contract

etc!!!

Does anyone know how to unlock a Blackberry 8700G on O2? I have tried all over the web and no joy.

Cheers,

Posh

Er all three said it can't be unlocked as its not in contract?? Nothing contradictory there.

Thanks Rich, but already tried for many hours.

No-one seems able to unlock the 02 ones.
