Getting old phone unlocked

Anonymous
Not applicable

After renewing my contract with o2 and getting a new phone, I wanted an unlocking code from o2 for my old phone. Requested this on the 20th May and told it may take a week. After online chats with six different o2 people and numerous hours wasted they have assured me yet again that it will be done but as i have been assured that they will treat as a priority on many previous occasions I will not hold my breath.

What make is your phone, I have recently been told that O2 do not do priority unlocking on anything except Iphones.

 

If you were told this on the online chat, you should make a formal comoplaint as they are clearly not telling the truth.

 

I am still waiting for O2 to unlock my old Galaxy S2, which has been ongoing since mid May.

So not figured if it's locked or not yet?

U have recently tried a Vodafone SIM card in the phone, it was not aaccepted, therefore logic dictates the phone is still locked.

 

Yet, I asked in Phones 4 U last week, where the phone was originally bought, and they told me their phones are unlocked by default! Eh?!

Could you have set a pin to prevent a new sim being used?

Fill in the unlock form should ensure you get the unlock code.
