Iphone 6 Unlocking

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I know there have been a lot of previous posts about iPhone 6 unlocking.

Here is my case, I bought iphone 6 on a 24 months O2 contract from carphone warehouse 9 months ago.

I now have to travel outside the country for 9-10 months.

I have offered O2 to pay my contract in advance, Which a lot more than phone's worth. However the response i get from CS is they cannot unlock iphone 6 until I am 12 months into contract. Which sounds ridiculous after I have offered to pay everything upfront.

Please guide me if there is a way out.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks.

Pay off your contract and then submit an unlock request the next day.
After the system refreshes it should show the device is paid off and able to be unlocked as you now own it outright.

Once you pay for the phone outright they have to unlock it for you.
There have been a few similar questions just lately and they have all been unlocked, but you might have to fight for it

No...unfortunately there is no way out of this. Apple insiste their phones remain locked unless you buy them directly from Apple

But CS has suggested otherwise, they say they would not be able to unlock until 12 months whatever may be the case.

We know what CS say, but they are wrong - It's not unheard off.
Search the forum and you will find 3 recent threads asking the same thing - all unlocked after paying out right for phone.

Yes @MI5 is right...once the handset is paid off they have no choice but to unlock it....they will make noises about it...but you have to keep trying...:smileywink:

Wasn't There something about GAME unlocking iPhone now? Not sure if the 6 was included or not...
