Hi
I have a apple mobile, and am with 02.
My phone has gone wrong so have taken it back to place of purchase. They have said its going to be 28 days, which i am not happy about.
So,
I have obtained a iphone 5c from my son, this is locked to ee.

I have been to the 02 shop and they said i can ring 02 th get the phone unlocked. O2 say they cant do this, i must speak to ee.

Ee wont speak to me as i am a customer of 02.

Is there a way of me unlocking the phone i have so it can be used with my 02 sim card.

    If the phone is locked to EE then only EE can unlock it.

    EE have a process on their website for non-customers to phone in and request the unlock for £8.99.

    If the phone is from your son’s contract he can request the unlock from EE for free.

    Here’s the link to the EE page, OP’s son doesn’t even have to phone in to do it.
