I have FP2 in the UK that was on Phone Co-op in the UK and appears to be loocked in to that network as a EE sim wont work in the phone, how can I unlock the phone so any SIM would work?
I though the FP2 was SIM free, alhtough I belive this handset came from the Phone co-op origionally.
Whilst latest Fairphone 3 from Phone Co-op is SIM unlocked, although Fairphone 2 may have been supplied by Phone Co-op on o2 network was not aware SIM locked. Presumably you have tried both SIM slots as SIM pins upon earliest versions prone to failure?
Thanks for replying, I have tried both Slots, tried the sim in a 2nd FP2 from phone co-op which alass did not also work, howvere when I move my current Phone co-op sim to the phone it works, I know the EE SIM is working beacuse it works in a old Iphone 5s I have.
Locigally they FP2 handsets must be locked by the phone Co-op which they say they know nothing about?
how exactly is it not working? I mean, can you enter your PIN but you don’t get a connection thereafter?
It could have something to do with your APN-settings. You can find those under Settings -> Network & Internet -> Mobile network -> Advanced -> Access Point Names
I had similar issues with upc in switzerland: the OS didn’t recognized the provider’s apn-settings itself, so I had to enter it manually.
Hi one of the phones has the new and the other has the old, did not work in either, no sim holder was used initally until after I checked the sim in the Iphone.
But I have set the person who owns the phone up with the spare Iphone so they can have a phone to use, I would be grateful if you could give me any suggestions I can try before I get the EE sim back from them to try the suggestions in bulk.
