SOURCE: know if my lumia 800 is locked or not
If you look at the IMEI/Barcode label on the Lumia's box it should tell you what version it is, probably in the right corner.
If it says "UK CV" or similar then it's unlocked, if it mentions a network like Orange, three etc then it's probably locked.
Also if the phone has a networks logo on the screen during boot up this is also a sign that it could be locked.
Try using a SIM card from a different network.If you can, it's unlocked.
