If I buy a new PAYG handset, which ones will work straight off with my O2 sim?

Fancy a Siemens MC60 for £99 on TMobile, but if it needs unlocking I'll prob have a reconditioned sim free S55 for £99 instead.

Cheers,

PAYG usually locked on all networks, although most phones are easy to unlock.

Vodafone contract used to come unlocked but I think that may be changing. Orange, Virgin are definitely locked (and branded) as are O2's own handsets (XDA etc)

Thanks for the replies.
Just been reading the MC60 is TMobile branded, so think I'll prob go for the sim free S55 instead.
