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.

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?

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?
Hi All,
When I bought my Tab S2 from CeX, I bought it as an unlocked device. Before my holiday, I put in a sim card and it wouldn't work due to the device still being locked to the EE network. :crying:
CeX offered me a full refund or to refund the difference between unlocked and locked which I accepted. :victory:
Do any of you know where I can get this Tab unlocked?
Thanks.
Hey Guys,
Struggling to find a reliable SIM unlock company in the UK that will unlock the P30 Pro which is locked to EE - any ideas/ suggestions/ recommendations that don't cost an arm and a leg?
Did you ever find anywhere?
Yes. There's a few posts in the Dual Sim UK thread.

Thankfully got my EE P30 from the Carphone Warehouse, so it's unlocked already
Hello. I purchased an S10 in the USA from T-Mobile the phone is still being paid. I came to Portugal, is there any way to unlock it? If so, SIM card in Portugal will catch network, I will not have problems with it?

Hello everyone. I am planning to buy S21 Ultra Factory Unlocked in US Samsung store. Will it work directly on carriers in Pakistan or will I have to insert a US sim card first in order to activate it and only then I will be able to take it and use it in Pakistan? Someone had asked a similar question in this link below, although he is from India but can apply to Pakistan as well;
https://r2.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S/S21-series-from-USA-and-use-in-India/td-p/7397918
This is getting really confusing. 3 people have answered him that a US sim is required for activation even on a factory unlocked phone. Why would a factory unlocked phone require a US sim for activation first? Or is it not the case? Can anyone please help me out. Shall be grateful.
No I bought sealed from Samsung U1 version and put in my digicel Trinidad sim from day 1 and it works
