Default T-Mobile UK Unlock

Hi, anyone go the code yet, as I just got mine, a 9 digit code which does not work. The Ameo appears to only want 8 digits, so I tried the last 8 as the first digit appears a little different to the others, none work.

The number TM give in the letter for problems is out of order, and a patronising women on 150 is about as much use as tits on a frog.

Any one able to post (or PM) me the code you got so I can compare and see if any combo of mine will work.

Also, anyone know how many attempts are allowed, I am up to 3 so far and the TM letter says you should only make 3....

As far as I'm aware, unlock codes for any phone are linkd to your IMEI so will be no generic code that will unlock your phone.

Persevere through 150, speak to supervisors, team leaders, managers scream, shout etc.

Try and get them now whle they can still help, you can get your arse they're not gonna help if you lock out the phone by using more attempts than they tell you to.

Sure, I understand that they are specific, just want to know if other people got 8 digit or 9 digit.

Am doing the other stuff, am am awaiting a call back from the directors office now.

Default Still waiting...

Hi,

I'm still waiting for my code. Can anyone tell me how long they waited for their T-Mobile UK unlock code?

When it comes I'll let you know how it works......

Cheers,
Steve

Thanks for the comments, I phoned the head office number given on www.saynoto0870.com and was put through to the Directors office.

A nice lady said "oh, the unlock team sit right next to me" let me call you back.

She did so a few mins later and we discovered that the code I was given had an extra digit in the middle and once we knew this I waited for the device to come back and ask for the code, and all was well.

So we at least know you can have 4 attempts without a problem.

Oh, the code came by post in a T-Mobile envelope and took about 3 weeks.
