I believe one can access the overlay tiles via this sort of TMS URL scheme:

http://tiles.itoworld.com/os_locator/{z}/{x}/{y}.png

You'll need have some kind of method of downloading (a suitably small!) subset 
of tiles and then transferring it/using it on your phone.
(Similar to any other TMS Tile service)

I have used Viking to download tiles into it's cache (well since I write/use 
Viking my cache may be vaguely up to date if I've been using the ITO World OS 
Locator tiles), convert the cache into a mbtiles file, copy to my phone and use 
Locus Free to view the mbtiles file.

Not necessarily the most obvious or easiest way...

Oh there is more than I realised! I'll fix a few on my travels.

Anyone know if it is possible to download the OS OpenData Locator layer (by
ITO) to use on a smartphone in offline mode?

Excellent idea and a great initiative.

ITOworld’s OS Locator tracker shows us at 98.14% completion. There are
14,639 major issues and 2,125 minor issues (mostly involving the use of
apostrophes).

Don’t forget that OS Locator isn’t always right and that names that were
copied  from OS Locator or Streetview also need to be checked.
