Hi.

Is it possible to unlock my iPhone 6s even though my iD contract ended over 2 years ago?

From searching the internet, it seems the phone should have been unlocked automatically 6 months into my contract but this didn’t happen.

Thanks.

Please note: The only phones that iD Mobile locks are iPhone's made before 2018.

 

How can I check if my phone’s unlocked?
It’s easy to find out if your phone’s locked. Simply insert a SIM card from another network, and see if the name of the network appears on your handset.
If it does and you’re able to use your phone, it’s unlocked.
If you’re unable to use it, your phone’s probably be locked.

How long does it take to unlock a phone?
The actual unlocking time varies by network, and can take days. Unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do to speed up this process. Your network will be able to advise you of the exact timescale. A complete list of networks and how to unlock them is available in the link at the foot of this post!

My phone’s locked to iD Mobile. How can I unlock it?
As with most networks, iD Mobile has an unlocking policy to protect us from any potential fraudulent activity.
We can unlock your phone if you’ve been with us for more than 6 months, and you don’t have an outstanding balance on your account.

Unlocking is free, and usually takes no more than 3-5 days.

If you’d like to have your iD Mobile phone unlocked, contact us here and we’ll get right on it.
