Hi i just changed to 48 but my phone was locked to meteor. So i rang up meteor and asked them can i have the code to unlock my phone but since i changed to 48 first they said they cant give it to me? They said i need to ring 48's customer care and they will give it to me. What do i do?? Thanks 🙂

Meteor are wrong. 48 will not/cannot give it to you. They don't provide or unlock phones for customers. Meteor should unlock it for you if you meet their unlocking criteria:

 

http://support.meteor.ie/article/unlock-phone

 

Note that this page doesn't explicitly state that you must still be a Meteor customer in order to qualify for an unlock code.

 

If Meteor can't/won't unlock it for you then you might need to shop around online or in town for an unofficial unlock code. Some phones can also be unlocked for free.

However if you meet Meteor's criteria for unlocking and they refuse then you should make an official complaint to them and even ComReg if necessary.

 

Hope this helps.
