How to unlock here but also try another sim as phone may not be locked

A few questions:

  1. What make and model is the phone?
  2. Did you get it directly from O2?
  3. Have you filled the form via your My O2, or by using the O2 App, or just by sending an email?
  4. Have you had any response and what was the response?
Kindest Regards,
Andrew.

@Lomaso It isn't locked.

Just use a different sim.
