Hi,

I've recently signed a new contract and received a new iPhone locked to o2.  My old iPhone (5S) was also locked to O2 but I am giving it to my son for christmas and need to get it unlocked.  I've entered the IMEI number via MyO2, but I understand this could take a while before the phone is unlocked.  Is there anything you can do to speed it up as I want to use a non O2 sim by Christmas day? Thanks!

@DaneH providing there are no problems it should be done within 24 hours.

If it gets deperate give @EmilieT a shout.

Hi @DaneH, there's a lot of good info above, and your iPhone should be unlocked before Christmas but as mentioned by the others if it's starting to cut it too close give us a shout and we'll get someone to look into it santa
