Did you purchase from an Apple Store or from eBay?

Several Members have purchased iPads from eBay and were told they were SIM unlocked but they were, in fact, locked to Orange.

Hi no from gumtree, I don't think he would lie as he has been very helpful with other things but how would I know if it is locked.
I have used a pushfix for the carrier & it will be in the setting for a few mins but then goes again.thanks for replying Martin
