Hi emerald21
Is this your own phone, bought new or second hand, or on contract?
If you have a SIM installed, ask the SIM supplier for an 8-digit PUK code. I was locked out of my Sony Xperia and asked the SIM supplier for a PUK code. It took a threat to leave them, but I got the code and it worked.

PUK codes don’t unlock phones, they are for SIM cards that have been blocked.

To unlock a phone you would need to request the Network Unlock Code or NUC from the network.

Tell your son to request the unlock from EE.
