Wanted to use my old Samsung S7 with non O2 SIM but seems it's still locked to O2 and I just keep going in circles trying to get it unlocked. Mind I cannot make any voice calls which O2 seems are only offering if wanting to get in touch with customer services! 

Tried the unlock request form posted elsewhere in here but it just returns error message when trying to proceed to the next page. So please can anyone direct me where I can unlock this device without going in circles!

@HSmale 

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

Or message O2 on Social Media. Facebook (https://o2uk.co/O2CFB) , Twitter (https://o2uk.co/O2CTW) or Instagram (https://o2uk.co/O2CIG) or give them a call on 202 or 0344 809 0202

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)

Hi,

 

unfortunately no… the link to the form in the guide posted above doesn’t work, kept giving me error as soon I click on ‘next’ like it doesn’t exist. I’ve also messaged O2 via fb messenger yesterday but no reply to now.

@HSmale The link in the guide should work. Try using a different browser.

Hi,

 

I do not have a ‘different’ browser besides the manual form doesn’t even work. This is error message I keep getting when clicking on ‘next’ after filling in first page.

 

“Oops. Something went wrong.

We've got our best technicians on the case. Try again, or come back later.”

@HSmale The form may not be working because of the browser you're using. Are you trying to access the O2 site on a laptop? It doesn't cost anything to use a different browser. If you're using Chrome, try Firefox, or Edge.
