... for 18 months?
Not necessarily.
Across the channel it is against the law to tie customers to one network.

Its actually illegal in the UK. I had a case a few years ago where i had a PAYG phone on vodafone. I tried an o2 sim in it and it didnt work. So i contacted Vodafone, who said it was locked to the network. So i contacted oftel who told me that it was against regulations for a company to do that, and that they should unblock the phone free of charge. I forwarded an email to Vodafone, with the email, and they unblocked it. So fight the issue.
