Iphone still not unlocked, thanks o2 - Page 6

Anonymous · ‎10-12-2013

O2 quote 72 hours max to unlock your phone.

First requested unlock from O2 on the 3rd Dec, O2 failed to get it unlock by the 6 Dec.

7 Dec had to request it again, 10 Dec Still not unlocked.

Whatever you do, request it unlocked well before you ever need it!!

O2 are effectively holding me to ransom, illegally. I should be free to have my phone unlocked within a reasonable time frame. Now i have a non working phone, thanks to me assuming they actually meant 72 hours max

Its now been 7 days so far.

BEWARE.

Yes, I've mentioned it a few times

Surely you won't be complaining after your free upgrade and a brand new phone though.....?

well, technically, its not new, its a refurb.

OK spoke to O2 and yes the £15 was for unlatching. Oops, i had spent some teehee, i wasnt told not to and was infact told to USE the phone on the o2 network else the unlatching will fail.

Anyway O2 topped it back up for me (thanks o2) and the unlock finally completed 5 hours later.

I will never get out of a contract before the phones confirmed unlocked again. Never assume it will be done when they say it will.

My wife is now going through the same process and we are NOT porting her number untill its unlatched, and so far the first unlatching has failed like mine did.

Thanks for all your help.

Technically, you were told on here that it is £15 to unlock and you would need a £20 top up to enable the phone to be used or the unlock would fail

I guess now your off so good luck with the new service provider.
