Hi @Esmarie 

 

You can only unlock after 6 months of ownership, but many handsets are already unlocked. Have you tried another sim in the phone?

 

Please read EE guide which explains the process:

HOW DO I UNLOCK AN EE DEVICE TO USE WITH ANOTHER NETWORK?

Thanks



To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone. You can call Freephone +44 800 079 8586 on Skype

EE standard opening hours are 8am to 10.30pm every day.
