I am in the loop. please help.
called EE to provide unlock code which doesn't work.
Asks for MCK code.
The called Samsung as advised by EE support. Samsung advised their phones are unlocked and the lock is put in by EE. So they asked to call EE again. Very frustrating experience!
This is never ending. Please can someone help?

Thanks for trying!
EE tech support gave us two separate 8 digit codes on day one, which didn't work, neither for slot 1 nor for slot 2. They in fact told us that code is same for any slot!!!!!!
Went to the local EE shop, the rep their was very helpful but all she could do was call EE tech support again and escalated. The support rep on the other end of the line promised me that she has escalated and someone from tech team will call us within 24 hours. Nothing to date!
We have now paid £40 for online unlocking services (third party) as last option and waiting for the process to complete. We shouldn't have to as phone is out of contract and clearly EE should have provided us with the unlock codes. TWO WEEKS and still counting...
We hope we never have to deal with EE ever again. Worst tech and customer service experience! Sorry!

By the way, can you please advise how do we raise a complaint against EE to the telecom authority? Unfortunately, we are left with no choice, but least our complain will get the attention from the relevant authority in EE and hopefully no one else in the future will have to go through this.
Thanks

Hi there @aaibaba2024
I am very sorry the team have been unable to get the device unlocked for you and I understand how frustrating this would be,
You can find ways to make a complaint on our Make a Complaint page.
Hope this is sorted soon for you.
