Solved: Unlocking a replaced mobile - Page 3

Anonymous · ‎01-08-2016

Hi,

I recently had my LG G4 die whilst on a weekend away in Liverpool - took it to the o2 shop [in Liverpool] and they sent it away for repair - it actually came back and was a replacement G4.

As my other G4 was unlocked [going away to the US in 3 weeks and will be using a different sim for the holiday] I thought I'd get this one done.

Followed the My o2 app route and I get a text saying it cant be done - the subsequent email said

I'm sorry, we have not been able to unlatch your device at this time. The reason given is: This is not an O2 device, it will not be possible for us to provide an unlatching code.

Contacted Customer Services via online chat and was eventually told to take it back to the store I got the replacement rom as it was originally purchased from a store.

I've had the replacement since Thursday so I think it should have registered with o2 by now - do I go to my local o2 store and ask them or will they tell me to just contact o2?

Cheers

Alun

I haven't but I'll give anything a go as I really need my phone unlocked for my US trip - what do I need to do?

Cheers

Google the CEO of o2 and get his email address.
CC him (or his office) into the response also detailing the history of the issue.
Historically it has helped to speed a resolution...

We're not allowed to give out the email address, hence the request for you to Google for it.
It's not us being awkward

I understand completely - not hard to find though, is it

Apologies for not explaining why the google (Thanks @MI5!!).
Agreed, which makes it all the more daft.
