Cant get my phone unlocked

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.

If you think I helped please feel free to hit the "Thumbs Up" button below.

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. 

From EE on contract

Spoke to them on Monday by phone and chat. They said it could take upto 10 days which have passed now.

Thanks @maddii

 

I've sent you a private message on the community for some extra details 🙂

 

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? 

I had the same issue! but i have not got Service at all now since i switched providers and i am not able to use my new sim since the device is still locked.

Many thanks to the help I had from here it was all sorted yesterday...
