Unlocking handset

Liam479 · ‎30-01-2023

I have upgraded to a flip3 from a S20 I have unlocked the flip 3 but my daughter wants the s20 she is not with EE so i inserted the sim from my 3 to the s20 and tried to unlock, but it will not allow me to unlock., Keep saying you have unlocked a unit already, so how can I unlock the S20 do I have to get another sim, took it into the EE shop and they said I had to d it on line but I can't, the system will not allow it???. It's only a bloody mobile phone !!!!! I would probably have less trouble accessing the gold reserves in the Pentagon.

So can anyone tell me if i need another sim, or how else to unlock it, my daughter is with Virgin and wants to stay there especially now she has seen the difficulty I'm experiencing with EE.

You can just apply for unlocking by using the Unlocking your device form and giving its IMEI no., which you can obtain be dialling *#06# into its keypad.
Don't use a 3 SIM in the unlocking process. They don't always work. Try an O2 or Voda SIM.
