I requested an unlock code on 19/11. I was told that it could take up to 10 days to complete and have heard nothing. I have phoned and messaged EE twice but I'm being sent around in circles. My contract ends soon and I will not be staying with EE.

I'm having the same problem. I put in a request on 19/11. I was unable to use the online form as it kept sending me back to the start. I have phoned and messaged to no avail. I was told 72 hours to 10 days wait then today I was told that doesn't include weekends! I will also be leaving in Feb when my contract ends.

@maddii : Where did you yourself get this device itself originally? Did you buy it yourself new direct from EE or from a 3rd-party reseller or is it 2nd-hand? The unlocking process & costs are different.
To phone EE CS: Dial Freephone +44 800 079 8586 - Option 1 for Mobile Phone & Mobile Broadband or Option 2 for Home Broadband & Home Phone
ISPs: 1999: Freeserve 48K Dial-Up > 2005: Wanadoo 1 Meg BB > 2007: Orange 2 Meg BB > 2008: Orange 8 Meg LLU > 2010: Orange 16 Meg LLU > 2011: Orange 20 Meg WBC > 2014: EE 20 Meg WBC > 2020: EE 40 Meg FTTC > 2022:EE 80 Meg FTTC SoGEA > 2025 EE 150 Meg FTTP

Hi @maddii
Thanks for coming to the community.
When did you last speak to our Mobile Care team?
Also, what did they advise when you called?
Speak soon 🙂
Leanne.

Been on chat AGAIN and filled in the form online AGAIN but this time it says
'Sorry - we can't unlock this phone as we don't recognise it as being locked to EE, Orange or T-Mobile.'
What on earth is going on?
