Is there a limit to the number of phones I can unlock via O2?

I have a bit of a phone buying habit, I have an iPhone 5s and a Samsung galaxy s4 mini I'd like to unlock. This isn't to sell on or for profit, it's simply so I can also use my EE payg sim in the phones.

I have a contract with o2,and used it to unlock an iPhone 5 earlier this year. Is there a 'fair use' policy or limit to the number of phones per year I can unlock using the free unlock service?

It would probably show after 24 hours once the system has updated.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Currently using:
Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)

Cheers, I'll keep my sim in the Samsung for a couple of days and ensure I make a couple of calls with it before sending off an unlock request. slight_smile

Just a quick update, I requested an unlock code for the S4 mini on Monday evening, and got the code emailed to me by Tuesday lunchtime! Very impressed, will request the iPhone code in a little while but pleased with the service slight_smile
