Hi, 

A friend of mine just gave me his old iphone 6. He has gone through the unlocking procedure mentioned here
https://www.o2.co.uk/help/phones-sims-and-devices/unlocking-an-o2-mobile-to-use-on-a-different-netwo...
and recieved a text that saying that it is unlocked. This was about 5 days ago. 

I finally got round to trying my different network sim and I get the sim not supported error. I have factory reset it and synced with itunes, but every time I put a non-02 sim in the phone I get a sim not supported error.

I asked my friend to go through the process again, but it says that it has already been completed. 

Thanks for any help
