O2 now unlocking iPhone 5S

[Anonymous]

Hey,

Just a heads up that O2 are now unlocking the iPhone 5S. I bought my 5S brand new from eBay but locked to O2.

I ordered a free O2 PAYG SIM online and topped it up £20. I popped it into my 5S and made a few calls, then filled out the unlock request form on the O2 website.

The first 2 times I received an email from O2 saying that the phone number wasn't registered with the IMEI number, but the 3rd time trying I received an email saying that the unlock was successful.

Happy days

Wrong link @Toby 

We were under the impression that the 5S/C were being unlocked now!

Certainly is confusing when members are leaving posts that they have had their iPhone 5s unlocked.

Hi guys,

The unlocking service is now available with iPhone 5s for members on Pay and Go, Pay Monthly and Refresh.

Sorry for the confusion around this, it was a very recent change
