Should be done pretty quickly, usually in 2 or 3 days at most.

@AnonymousI would imagine it depends on what you were blacklisted for? You could always ask O2

From previous experience it can take up to a week providing it's for a recovered phone or placed in error.

Usually working days are weekdays only with o2.
I’d chase up customer service just to make sure something is happening.

Hi @Anonymous, let us know if you've had any progress with this? slight_smile Checked on our end, and generally, once O2 has submitted the form, it should be a 24-hour timescale excluding weekends.

If it was blocked by a 3rd party or bank insurance etc. though then you'd have to contact them regarding timescales.

I have no idea where the Block came from, also there has never been a claim made on my device I had not used it with a SIM card for months then one day last week I put a SIM card inside and it just said no service, so the block could of only come from O2 in error, I am taking about a iPad Pro not a phone.

The clue maybe in the sentence 'you hadn't used it for months' I know PAYG sims need to be used within 6 months or they become inactive. Not sure why, if it's a Pay monthly sim though @Anonymous I would probably try and get a new sim...

Have O2 confirmed that it is blacklisted or are you assuming it has been?
