Unlocking Iphone 5s bought from CPW for other network locked to O2

Anonymous

I have been a victim of of Carphone Warehouse malpractice of unlocking the Iphone 5s to first sim. I'm starting this thread to gather support to get O2 to help victims out there to help unlock their 5s.

 

A bit of background

As soon as my 5s was locked to O2, I had contacted Apple, CPW, Vodafone (my actual provider). All of them asked me to talk to O2 as only the "carrier" that my phone is locked to, can unlock it. 

 

O2 Gurus advised me to get a Pay & Go sim, top it up with at least £15, which I did with £20. It had also been escalated to Escalation team who contradicted O2 Guru saying that no iphone 5s is unlocked at this point whereas they had done in some O2 Refresh cases. All the customers have to do is pay in full of the contract.

 

What I need of you

Just the victims, with the positive mindset to achieve the common goal - Unlock your Iphones 5c/5s so that we can lodge a formal complain to the CEO as the chains of command, has clearly broken and this is a big reputational issue to O2.

 

Negative comments, if you have, please spare us from them as this is a positive environment for the greater good.

 

Thank you for your support and if you want to email me rather than post, please do so at (edited)

Complain to Ofcom. I have done already. They told me that if enough people complain to them about this they will take action.

Best practice if you want an unlocked iPhone 5s. 

Buy it as SIM free from an Apple Store.
