Sent off my request for an unlock code for my husband but he got a text back from 02 saying they did not recognise the IMEI no. - he had problems with the speaker on his first phone and Apple replaced it - what is the story on a replaced phone? BTW he is now out of his 18 month contract since April 8th - Kilsmum

Can you send us the request again so that we can ammend the details?

Hey Daryl

I have a Iphone I got off a friend in Australia. The phone is locked to the OPtus network over there.

I'm currently an O2 bill pay customer.
Is it possible that I could get the iphone unlocked to work on the O2 network here in Ireland?

Should I PM you my details?

Cheers

J

Fantastic Customer Service!
Got mine unlocked within the weekend!

Thanks Daryll

I had a similar call. They were happy enough when I said I didn't have an immediate plan to leave 02, just that since the option of getting the phone unlocked was there, why wouldn't I use it?

They also told me 2 weeks but I had the text message through the following day.

Saying that, after connecting it to my iTunes account and doing the required to get it unlocked, it then came up with an error message telling me it hadn't worked. I haven't tried to put another SIM into it to check it, but I gather I just have to restore the phone to get the unlock to work.

Hi ,

I have an iphone 3gs which I bought from adverts. The lady I bought it from got it from 02 as she was due an upgrade.

I am travelling to Asia in June and would love to use the phone on the local network there as thats much cheaper when you staying abroad for a long time.

I am an 02 pre pay customer by the way.

Could I get my iphone unlocked from 02?

Thanks

Guys

Need help with unlocking my iPhone. My contract has expired and I have just transfered my account to prepay.
I have requested the unlocking code for my 3gs at the end of march, with an additional request put it on 20th April.
Its still not updated and I have recieved no text to say it has been requested.

Guys, can you please help. Let me know what I have to do

MuhammadUmar

I contacted the lady I bought the phone from. She called 02 and within 3 days my phone is unlocked!

whiterebel

I bought mine second hand last year as well, from a guy who had got an o2 upgrade, so I presume it should be ok to unlock. I can't contact him, as I believe he's gone back to France. I have PM'd as per instructions above.

O2_Daryll

I have replied to all requests up to today. Sorry If I was late for some; I have been out of the office.

Unlocked today!! Very quick service, Kudos to Daryll and gang.

dantastic

Bought my 3gs on pay as you go and JB'd immediately.

I still have the original sim I used to register the phone with but that sim doesn't seem to work.

If I want to use o2 for 150 worth - what can I do, can I pick up a new o2 sim and register it?

Just want to see a big thank you to Daryl and Paddy for helping me with the unlock. It was done within a day. Thats what i call service! .

Just one thing. When i'm givin the option to update in the future, is it safe to do so??. ie. will it revert back to being locked to O2???

Thanks again guys. Really appreciate it

Hi all,

I understand that a number of you are unable to gain access to the O2 Forum because you are no longer O2 Customers. If you wish to get your iPhone unlocked please send me and "Talk2O2: Paddy" a PM with your IMEI number, Mobile number and full name and we will request it for you.

It is important that you send the PM to both of us to get your request processed with all possible speed.

Please look here to see the instructions and criteria.

If you have any other questions please let me know.

Hiya,

Whats a PM number as I have the IMEI code and obviously my mobile number.

Andrew

Tom Dunne

Can we keep the posts on-topic and relevant to O2 unlocking requests.

Anything else is not relevant for this thread and will be deleted.

MuhammdUmar you have previous posts saying that you bought Iphone and had it unlocked so why are you putting up new posts. Smells like your using side tactics to get iphones unlocked while everyone else appears to be genuine. Don't exploit the system and ruin it for everybody else.

MuhammadUmar

There is a misunderstanding here. Not trying to exploit the situation.

My iphone got unlocked and the seller helped me with it.

I bought another iphone on adverts and it was locked to 02.

Check my history if in doubt.

Learn to trust people my friend.

MuhammadUmar

and FYI : I am a business customer of 02 and have more than one number on bill pay with 02. Each of them on the highest tariff, so I tought it would be okay to get the iphones unlocked.

I did not get the previous iphone unlocked with the help from this thread so how am I exploiting the situation?

I feel really insulted with your comments

well if i read the situation wrong i do apologise and the mod can pull the posts. but haven said that you do realise that the mod can click into your adverts and see that you have advertised a number of different iphones for sale recently. i think it's fair to assume that a person may view it in a way that you are getting unlocks for iphones because they enhance the resale value. it's just my opinion that if thats the case is goes against the spirit of why op set up the thread. good luck anyway

O2_Daryll

If you have more iPhones send me the PM with the IMEI and Number and I will have it handled for you if it is an O2 handset.

igor420

I got the first text from 02 saying

"O2 have submitted your unlock request for iPhone IMEI xxxxxxxxxxxx to Apple. Apple should unlock the device via iTunes within the next two weeks. O2."

I know the message says that it will take two weeks but i just want to know is there any way of speding this process up?

After i got the text i moved from Bill pay to PAYG.

I want to move over to meteor lite plan and buy an unlocked HTC desire and port my old 02 number over.

The thing is, i cant sell my iphone and buy the desire untill the iphone unlocked because i can sell to a bigger market with an unlocked iphone.

Is there a way to speed up getting the second "your phone is unlocked" text?

cheers

igor420

I just got the second text there.

igor420

I just unlocked my iphone through 02. I put in a new meteor sim and synced with itunes and it works fine on meteor.

I put my 02 sim back in and am now syncing all my contacts and texts back over so i can use it with my original 02 account for the next few days.

I am going to sell it in the next few days. My question is. Will syncing all my data lock the phone to 02 again. I doubt it will. I just want to make sure it wont lock up again before i sell it.

No it won't lock it again

elvis jones

Daryll just wondering with the announcment of the iphone 4.........is the unlock available at the end of contract or when you upgrade.......perhaps if you upgrade in say........july;)

Athlone_Bhoy

What if the phone is England o2?

Wanton

Not sure if its the right place to post.

Whats the likelyhood of being able to upgrade 8 months in to my current iPhone contract?

remoteboy

Hi Lads,

Don't mean to be a nuisance but sent a PM on Friday and haven't heard anything back - is there a bit of a backlog or did the PM not arrive?

alexlyons

Daryll:
will the iphone 4 be able to be unlocked straight off? obviously with the current T&C's...

mayordenis

I got a messages ago saying mine was all good to unlock from the Apple/o2 side but when I connected it I didn't notice anything happen - is there something in particular I need to do?

dougs09

Did you connect it to iTunes? Once you got the text it's only a case of connecting to iTunes and then updating your carrier settings, then your good.

Ricky91t

Daryll, I'm planning to buy an iPhone off adverts.ie or ebay, If the user has used it on o2( bill or PAYG ) how could I ask them to confirm this? And would they be able to request an unlock and then post it to me, Before it's unlocked?

Thanks.

I connected to itunes and synced it but it didn't do anything unless it did it and I missed it - carrier settings anywhere I can check?

dougs09

i guess apple havent got it set up from there end then? cause i think once they give you the all clear, then once the iPhone communicates with iTunes, it'll know then that a request for unlock has been set and it'll then ask you to update carrier settings, at least thats how i guess it works.

but yes you should get the update carrier settings message otherwise it aint gonna unlock.
