    Is it common for phone companies in the UK to lock phones?


    It used to be in Malaysia a long time ago but no one does it anymore!

    Shagen,


    You can buy phones that will take any sim card, but generally yes, in the UK you buy or rent a phone for a specific service provider.


    It's not really a problem now though as they are, as Adam has demonstrated, relatively easy to unlock nowadays.
