Unlocking issues - 72 hours, still waiting after a month. Lies, lies, lies

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have been waiting nearly a month for any unlock code that should have been processed within 72 hours. You have been contacted numerous times by telephone and live chat and nothing has happened. I feel simply lied to. I contacted you earlier and was told the lie that the unlock code request had been rejected because the handset had not be used. I informed your representative Uma (chat reference ********) that see was mistaken, but she insisted I was wrong. I have checked the online account and can confirm that a call was made on the 16 Apr 16 at 22:59:13 to ********. I can email you a copy of the O2 phone bill if you can provide me with an email address and will have the decency to actually respond given I have already been provided with two email addresses by your colleagues, neither of which has had the decency to reply. I would advise you that I have emailed Ronan Dunne concerning this matter & will shortly be contacted the Ombudsman, OFCOM and making a claim for damages through the small claims court. I am disgusted by your service.

Does your MyO2 show the device that you are trying to unlock?
If not, you must use the phone on O2 until it registers.
Have you also tried a non O2 sim in the phone to see if it is unlocked already?
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.

Ofcom will not be interested in one single matter like this. Please follow the advice given by @adamtemp64 @MI5
