Unlocking Samsung S6

[gotoPzero]

I have recently upgraded my phone and my old phone an S6 is now spare.
I was thinking of unlocking it so when I travel around I can buy a local sim card for cheap data.

Its locked to o2.

What is the best way to unlock it? I have googled and I see some quite jenky looking websites that will send you a code to unlock but from what I have seen you need the OLO sim at that time to unlock?

Is that right?

From o2's website-

"Got an Android device? Once you’ve got your code, just enter this into your device and follow the instructions."

"How do I get my device unlocked and what info will I need?
If you’ve checked and your device is locked to our network, you can ask us to unlock it at any time, for free. Choose the ‘Pay Monthly or Pay As You Go customers’ or ‘O2 Business customers’ section below to find out how to ask us to unlock your device.

To make your request, you’ll need your device’s unique IMEI (International Mobile Station Equipment Identity) number. To find it, type *#06# into your device. It will then display the 15-digit number. It's a good idea to make a note of the number to speed the process along."
