Feb 22, 2015 6:48 AM in response to Leewakeby wegras,Go and complain to CPW ,they have been doing this for years
Who did you expect to tell you to go to Apple
Buyer beware
is there some way to have phone truly Carrier agnostic?
Yes buy from Apple ,they have always been the only source of unlocked iPhones in the UK as we continually respond here

Feb 22, 2015 6:47 AM in response to Leewakeby KiltedTim,Sim Free does not equal "unlocked. CPW does not sell unlocked phones. They sell Sim free phones that will lock to the first UK carrier used. The only source for new unlocked iPhones in the UK is directly from Apple.
Contact the carrier it's locked to. They are the only ones who can authorize unlocking it.

Feb 22, 2015 3:19 PM in response to KiltedTimby Leewake ,Thanks Tim. To me SIM Free does equal "unlocked" SIM Free once, does not. CPW are selling SIM Free Once. That to me is a lot more transparent.
Anyway lesson learnt. Thing is when I insert my EE SIM, EE will have no record of the handset and I am thinking of the journey to come in a years time when I need an unlock code!......

If you use an EE contract either PAYG or a sim only monthly that will establish the business relationship and then after 6 months they shoud unlock it
There is no "code "
This is how it works with iPhones
