Last year i requeste dmy phone be unloced and as far as i was concerned it was. Today i finished moving my number to VOXI after being an O2 custoemr for many years. I put my VOXI sim in and apparantly my phone isnt unlocked after all and gives me a restricted error message.

 

Ive tried using the manual unlock request form but it just errors as i am no longer seen as a customer. Ive also been sat in the Live chat que for about 2 hours....

 

Anyone got any ideas as i need this number for work?

 

Cheers

Full process here with some additional things you can try Guide: Unlocking an O2 phone to use a different SIM card 

If not, call customer service. Contact numbers on here Guide: How to find help & contact O2

Hi there, it seems 02 have not successfully unlocked your iphone correctly and depending on which time and day you call customer service you may get the help support from a more authoritative source if not ask for someone who actually have the authorization to unlock 

 

02 haven't successfully done this this and I'd advice you keep onto them
