I bought a second hand iphone SE from someone locked to the O2 network, the phone was on a contract. He called O2 and got it unlocked, they gave him a code to pass on to me and informed me it would take 72 hours, to put another network sim or an o2 sim and connect to itunes.
All of which I did. There is no place to put the code and the phone remains unlocked.
I now cannot contact the original owner, but he passed on all the details to me, EMEI number, mobile number, reciept etc.
What do I do anyone please!

I believe that he was given an unlatching number. I do believe that he did talk with O2 and request for the unlocking and it just hasn't worked.
I would be interested to know more about borrowing another persons O2 contracted sim to unlock, would it be as simple as that? I thought the original owner only had that capability?
Thank you for your time...

Cleoriff; Yes I made a mistake in that sentence, the phone is still locked!

Jonsie & Beenherebefore;
The phone was previously with a contract, therefore I am unable to pay £20 PAYG and get it unlocked that way....

If you know someone with an O2 contract, use their sim in the phone for a day or two and then submit the unlock request from their MyO2 as explained in the original link I gave you.
You can still use the PAYG route by obtaining a PAYG sim and topping up £20 (make sure you are on classic PAYG tariff) and then submitting your own request after a couple of days use of the phone.
You have to use the phone on O2 either route you take to register it on the system.
