Hello all.

To cut a long story short, my wife upgraded her 5S to a SE. I am upgrading later in the year but want a IP7 but to get into iOS I'm keeping her 5S rather than selling it.

On average ohow long am expected to wait before I can activate another sim after requesting an unlock two days ago.

I did my o2 5C and it completed in two days but I fear EE are going to keep me waiting!!! Anyone else able to share their EE unlock experience?
 
You'll receive a text from EE on the contact number you provided when requesting the unlock once the unlock is completed. The longest I've known it take is about five days.
 
I think you have to restore the phone before the unlock works.... I might be wrong about that though.
Ah ok, Yet to restore it as was ensuring my wife was happy with her SE.

Yeah nothing yet a few days in.. hoping then by the weekend I'll be able to set it up for me!

I have never restored any iPhone I've had after being unlocked. I've never had any problems doing it that way.
