I bought an 11 Pro last November, will it be locked to EE?

@AlanWakeTheBake : Yes but it will be auto unlocked when 18 months old providing you bought it direct from EE.

@AlanWakeTheBake  To find out if the device is locked go to Settings>General >About and scroll down to Network Provider Lock. If it says No Sim Restrictions then the device is already unlocked.  

To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone.

why its on the device as its an iPhone.  EE text service is not 100% reliable to respond the settings are 100% correct and 100% reliable.   Plus it’s just simpler.    

To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone.

Texts are always simpler for me, thanks, rather than a rummage 😉 !

 

The idea of a discussion group is for diff peeps to give their varied ideas rather than just your singular opinion. Let the OP decide his preference rather than pre-empt him!

Texts are the simple way when you don’t have an iPhone.  😆
