Huwawei P8 Lite - Network Locked to Operator

Hi Guys
I'm from South Africa. I'm looking at getting a Huwawei P8 Lite but problem is it's Network Locked to the Service Provider that I'm taking it from.
It's on contract so the provider will only unlock it after 24 months. I don't wish to use the provider sim in the phone.
Can anyone advise if it's possible to unlock the phone and allow me to use any sim.
Just want to know before I go out and sign up for the contract
Thanks

Hello from Montenegro. In our country is the same rule, if you buy device from some Network Operator, it's locked to that network. But, this device comes unlocked. I've buyed this device on that way, way you're talking about, but it's unlocked. My friend buyed from the other Network Operator, and it's also unlocked. My sister form Serbia buyed same devce, and it's also unlocked. You can try to put your sim card before you buy that phone, to look if that's same in your country. In my country other devices comes locked to NP, but this comes unlocked.

Mo_786, if you are from South Africa, you're okay. It's illegal to sell a network-locked phone in SA. It's been that way for decades. Which provider is this?
To be more helpful:
What they can do is deliver phones with hamstrung firmware. So in the P8 lite's case, Vodacom have a custom ROM that disables the second sim-card, because they want you to buy their expensive data. But you can use any sim from any network in the first sim slot.
I have a Vodacom-contracted P8 lite ALE-L21 that has the bootloader unlocked and has been flashed to the dual-sim-capable European official B564 ROM. I have a Cell C sim for calling and an Afrihost sim for data.

In Croatia, you can request the unlock code immediately after you signed the contract, or if you buy the phone prepaid you can request it after a year.
In my case, the phone already came unlocked so i didn't even have to request the code.

Hi Proze.za
Where did you get the p8 lite flashed to enable dual sim capability?

Nokia 8 TA-1004 Dual SIM

Hi guys,
I need your help in something, im searching to buy the Nokia 8 Dual SIM variant, unfortunately here in Cyprus where i live the haven't brought the phone yet so i'm looking to order it online.
But the think is that from Ebay or some other website that i looked they sell the TA-1052 variant which is for China/Taiwan market. Or mostly they sell the Single SIM variant.
Do you know where i can find the TA-1004 Dual SIM version ?
Thanks !

In most of the EU countries dual sim is available from Nokia directly or major resellers. Just order it online.

Unfortunately in Cyprus there is no Nokia official shop here and the reseller is going to bring only the Single SIM version.
In Greece which i'm also searching most of them they have the Single SIM version, some others that the list a Dual SIM version they mention the TA-1052 variant which is meant for the Chinese market
If you can suggest a website it would be great because so far only the Single SIM i'm finding...
Edit: And also if if i find a Dual SIM model they only have it in Steel color and not in Tempered Blue which i'm looking for.

I can not specify a known and valid online shop in EU which would send abroad. Amazon maybe?
I bought mine in PL, but dual sim tempered blue is easy available in other EU countries like Germany, Netherlands, Belgium etc.

Dunno if it helps you but I got my dual sim tempered blue nokia 8 from amazon india website. I am from India and the model i am holding( in fact typing this message) is a "Made in India" Nokia 8 model.
Just for your info.

They are for sale on amazon.es (Spain) not sure if they ship to Cyprus though.

Finally i found it through ebay (Germany) and bought at lower price than Cyprus and already received it...
Thanks for your help and suggestions !

It is unlocked. All pay monthly phones sold in the UK now are unlocked from day one. I've tested this on numerous phones in the past, and my Vodafone S21 Ultra. My work O2 sim works in it.
