Help! Daughter put old O2 sim in to her new EE iPhone 6.

Anonymous
Not applicable
Got brand new iPhone 6 last monday having been unable to get similar deal with O2 now my 2 year contract is up. Now locked new iPhone to O2 (getting sim not valid message when put EE sim into iPhone) - tried to request unlock by O2 but they don't do iPhone 6 yet. Then tried to explain this was done in error and phone is not theirs but belongs to EE - first directed to ask EE. Sent back to O2. O2 then directed me to Apple. They say its O2. Apple also suggest I cancel! An easy mistake to make but what do I do now?
Have another O2 contract which I have just renewed for 12 months. Customer service giving different advice every time. How do I escalate this to a higher level?

It may be worth contacting them.

No, not confirmed.
And I must admit, I thought otherwise.
Either way, ee will not give you an O2 unlatch code, only O2 can.

But is the OP still within the 14 day cooling off period?... May save them a lot of bother to just cancel and return...?

Yeah, that's what Apple advised them to do.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Only option I can see if CPW offer a 14 day period, by law it's only 7 days and that may not apply if it was bought in the shop.

I just think instead of waiting for unlock (which isn't going to happen) and allowing time to pass until its too late.....cancel it and start over?
