Iphone still not unlocked, thanks o2

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.

Avoid Three, I am aware from experience that their CS is run by numpties.

 

Sorry Toby, but it was my experience.

I've always found Three CS to be excellent, very obliging and most polite...... Just like O2's are slight_smile

Perhaps they were struggling with your accent?

Surprised nobody commented on my earlier post about the fact my phone worked on another providers network while apparently still latched to O2.....

Hot swapping sim's is not advisable and can cause all manner of issues and give strange effects. I'm surprised it even logged onto a signal at all tbh.....

WHAT?

The o2 cs chap said to me, "you can swap the sim when its still powered on, it should be ok"

I didnt think it was a good idea, and never have done it before.

Most phones force you to reboot if the sim becomes disconnected - Not advisable to hot swap regardless of what the CS "Guru" says !!

I am having that experience with another company, this one.

 

.. and it can't be my accent, I get told I sound like Ewan McGregor's UNICEF voiceover, that clearest of Scottish accents, perfectly trained pronunciation.. it's the CS that don't understand facts, but they can repeat "I am sorry to hear about this". Eight staff have said that. It doesn't help though.
