Getting a few barriers to my unlocking request.

 

Bought a S6 edge from mobiles.co.uk on o2 network and want to unlock the phone now but both companies say the other company can do it!

 

Any ideas?

Hi @Ani

Firstly check if it is locked by inserting a non O2 sim, then if it is locked, follow the help here https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/How-to-Guides/Unlocking-an-O2-phone-to-use-a-different-SIM-card/ba-p/1...
It is the networks responsibility, so if it is locked, it's O2 that needs to sort it.

Thought it might be as mobiles.co.uk is part of Carphone Warehouse who only sell unlocked phones.
