Unlocking iPhone

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have recieved an email with the request code for unlocking the Iphone 6. To finish the process it tells me I have to put in a non-o2 sim and go to iTunes. Does the SIM have to be the one I plan on using or can it be any non-o2 SIm card?

 

Thanks

Any sim is fine and it will never relock so you can swap sims as much as you want now.
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)
