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.

This doesn’t work for me. When I enter my IMEI number it just says there’s an error at their end and to try again. I’ve been trying for days.

Hi @Bridgetorr.
Thanks for coming here.
How many digits is the number you are entering?
What phone are you trying to unlock?

@Noogccji3 : Have you inserted the non-EE SIM & supplied the unlock code to it when it asks?

Did you manage it in the end? When I hit the "unlock" button online after entering the IMEI and confirming the model it takes me straight back to stage 1 again 🤦🏼♀️

Hi @Ceriness
Welcome to the community.
That's strange. Could you try on a different device or browser please?
