Trying to transfer from sim O2 to Sky - asked for advice on how to do this on Saturday and was provided with a PAC code which I then activated through Sky.  No mention made of requirement to unlock phone. Now apparently need to wait seven days for the unlock phone PIN number or pay £15.00 to have my O2 sim reactivated.  Does it really take seven days?  Absolutely ridiculous!

It's free to unlock.

Guide: Unlocking an O2 phone to use a different SIM card 

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.

Currently using:
Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)

Do you still have access to My O2? You can request an unlock through there.

 

It is usually quicker than seven days though.
