Hacked iphone account

Jensway1 — Fri, 20 Aug 2021 05:51:26 GMT

Hi. Last night my account was hacked. When I went online into my EE account, there was a message "device unlocked".

My iphone cellular settings doesn't reflect any cellular plan and there doesn't appear to be any cell signal indicated in the top right of the screen. Any suggestions?

@Jensway1 Your phone is automatically unlocked . That a message informing you of that. Try restarting the device and no your account hasn’t been hacked.

Thanks @Chris_B . How is it that my cellular plan is deleted from my phone? What am I missing here?

@Jensway1 Was you using an eSim ?

@Jensway1 The sim is the plan. Have you tried a network reset on the device? It’s in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Your device will reboot and you’ll need to put your WiFi passwords back on your device when needed.

Thanks, Just tried that. The cellular plan has not appeared once the phone reset as per your instructions. If I click the "add cellular plan" button, it asks for a QR code. None of the documents I received from the service provider contain a QR code.
