I cannot be bothered with ringing up and talking to anybody else because it seems no-one knows what the hell is going on, i try to email the company but oh no they can't have a nice easy contact us they have to have 10'000 different options and none of them are any good to me!!
So after having a reply from the "mycare" (what a joke) email address informing me my email will not be replied to i come here looking for a simple way to contact my mobile operator.nope because they don't want you to contact them they want you to do it the way they want and no other way.
I really cannot be bothered to type out every thing again so i'm just going to copy and paste my email onto here and hope someone somewhere will see it and maybe just maybe i'll finally get the flaming unlatching code i've been tying to get for over a sodding month now
christ almighty how hard can it be if the guy in the local market can unlatch a phone in 5 minutes why the hell can't the company who it's latched to unlock it in less than a month!
oh and i was in a better mood when i sent the email!!!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Use the complaint review service search in support do not use the popup chat window send a full email to them with the exact timeline of events. complaintreviewservice@o2.com is the email address to save you searching for it

Silly question, but are you sure the handset is locked? Zero's usually mean an open handset....

the unlock code is supplied by the manufacturer so getting the same unlock code tends to point to it being the correct one. Do you get a different error message with the other network sim or is it simply asking you to input the unlock code?

It just tells me it's the wrong code and asks me to input the correct one, as i said in my original post the first unlock code they sent was 8 zero's which didn't work
The second code i was given as the unlock code (yesterday) was the same as the 2nd code from the original request which was listed as the MCK code and should only be used if the phone freezes up.

A Tesco sim will work in an O2 locked phone so it's something else that's locked out. Maybe it's got a SIM change lock set in the security settings?

I won't be flaming you but my attutide is due to being messed around for over a month, every code i get is wrong, everytime i contact them i get told it will be elevated and then i have to sit around and wait hoping that the next code will be the right one.
My 11yr old daughter want's my phone, she doesn't want a new one even though we have offered to buy her an ace2, she wants my old one....and everytime i get a new code she gets excited.....and then i have to tell her it hasn't worked
I am on duty every night for 14hrs, i need to sleep during the day but instead i stay up and try to get the code to unlock the phone, i get very little sleep and then wake up ratty.....now can you understand why i have an attitude?
Oh and just to rest your mind, i don't want you thinking i am shouting at the staff who answer the calls because i don't, i disagree with that as i am intelligent enough to know they are a human not a machine and they are just doing their job.....THAT is why i have come on here and ranted instead of risking losing my temper with some poor sod who just happened to pick up the phone at the wrong time!

To check lock status dial *#7465625#
If you get really desperate most market stalls can unlock this phone with 3G tool. Probably cost a tenner.

thanks for that, i'll have a look tomorrow when i get home as i'm on duty at the moment
The local market phone stall has said £15 to unlock it but whats aggrivating is the fact i'm having to pay for something that is free!
I appreciate your help
