Hi I am hoping someone can help me. I am getting no where fast with online chat. I have an active business account which I’ve had for 12 years. Same number. One of my old phones which I no longer use my business number in as I upgrade every two years needs unlocked. I just put a payg sim in to activate it as I thought that what u had to do. I have filled out the online form but I’m not sure it’s gonna work. Chat told me the number connected to the phone was my existing number but I don’t want my phone u locked, it’s the old one. I know this sounds so confusing but can anyone shed any light on this. I also need it unlocked ASAP I can’t wait 30 days!’

Good morning @LeanneM slight_smile It sounds like you've followed the right process so far, but if this is really urgent or if you're worried something might have gone wrong, I'd gladly get someone on my end to look into it for you! I'll need a few more details, so please keep an eye out for a Private Message shortly.

 

Thanks @jonsie for helping out, and @MI5 for the mention thumbsup

@LeanneM The unlock should be done by IMEI number
