Yep- some handsets can't be unlocked. Some it'll cost you to get them done.

Find out what model it is first. IIRC some Tesco phones are unlocked as standard.

Can I use another SIM in my Tesco phone?If you wish to use your Tesco Mobile phone on another network, you will need to arrange for it be unlocked. If this is the case, you must not insert another operator's SIM card into the mobile without an unlatching code (which is not your PIN code). We will on request provide an unlatching code after 90 days starting from the date you activated your phone. If you activate your phone and use the Tesco Mobile network for less than 90 days before receiving an unlatching code, we will charge you a fee of £25 to unlock your phone.
If the phone has been active for more than 90 days there will be no charge as long as you have topped up by £25 since activation. If you haven't, you will need to top-up to reach this threshold before the code can be requested. The credit can then be used as airtime.
Please contact Customer Care on 0845 301 4455 or call 4455 from your Tesco Mobile for further information on the qualifying period, applicable conditions and charges.
thanks very much!
