Unlocking Note 3

Anonymous — Tue, 30 Dec 2014 20:55:23 GMT

Hello folks!

I'm here to ask what's the quickest way to go about unlocking my Note 3.

I've already filled in the form yesterday, and the online chat chap said that I would recieve the code within 5 working days.

But I'd like to get the code quicker, if I can?

Any help is very much appreciated!

Many thanks.

I've already read through that and completed the form.

I'm asking advice on how I can speed the process up, or is it literally just a case of sitting around and crossing my fingers that it'll arrive tomorrow?

The code comes from Samsung via the network so sadly you can't speed it up.

5 working days is now quite good. Earlier this year it was 28......

Yep I'm afraid that's all you can do. 😔

If it makes you feel any better, when I got mine it literally took seconds to do.

Are you off to a new network? We recommend before entering into a new contract that you test signal out with payg sim from your chosen network first.

Just wondering - have you already tried another SIM in it? Do you know that it definitely is locked? Always worth a try before paying to request the code, (which you already have 🙂 )

Just to clarify. 😄

The unlock request is free to Contract Customers.

Its £15 to PAYG customers and T&C Apply.

Good call on that.

We've had it a few times, usually after a refusal or long wait by O2.
