No problems that we know about.
Ensure the correct IMEI number is registered to your MyO2 and submit manual form if wrong https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Other-Products-and-Services/Unlocking-an-O2-phone-to-use-a-different-S...

Submitted the online form with the correct information, now says it may take 14 days which is outrageous

Probably not before 9 and that's assuming they are working tomorrow - may not see anything before Tuesday now though.......

I did my iPhone X on Saturday, and had the text and email within 20minutes of submitting slight_smile

 

If you are waiting something is wrong, but tbh unlock requests can take upto 14days, manufacturer dependent

Phone was finally unlocked after extended chats with Customer Services, have now moved to Three and have ported my number to them as well. That was another saga...
