Hi, I've recently ported my number out to another provider, and have been trying to use the manual form to unlock my iPhone 7. 

Currently the form is throwing an error when I submit, and I'm unsure if my request to unlock has been processed. I can't use the MyO2 app, as the login screen fails with a "no billing account" error.

 

Can anyone suggest who cn check the status of my unlock request and confirm if it's been submitted sucessfully - I appreciate there is a delay/wait time for sucessful requests to go live.

 

Thanks.

 

Jo

@Dreamer if your number port is successfully completed then it may not be able to be unlocked by O2. There have been recent problems with unlocking that our community admin @EmilieT has been looking into for customers. She will be back here on Monday read this link in the meantime

@Dreamer

The unlock form isnt working at all in the guide above.

Log into My O2 http://www.o2.co.uk/myo2 and you will see this section

If you have problems with this then please come back and ask @EmilieT (community manager) for assistance. Best of luck

Just call customer service http://www.o2.co.uk/contactus to check if it’s gone through ok or not but as said, you may need help from our community admin as o2 appear to have shut down all other means of unlocking now they are selling phones unlocked.
I guess they didn’t consider all the locked phones out there!
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)

Interesting. I used Firefox on PC, then tried Chrome on phone and PC and get the same result as I posted above..... so it isn't working at all for me....Confused

Also the op stated it was throwing an error for them...so something is amiss somewhere...
