    hi guys

    my father has his own business which includes a number of phones, there on bill pay with emobile. hes been on this contract 3+ years paying 35+ per phone. most of which is probably irrelevant. he gets yearly upgrades, its due now, we are thinking of getting a iPhone 5s/6 and i using it myself (on Vodafone)

    now i have read on the website that you can unlock the phone if you've paid so much and been with them so long, all of with we pass.

    so if i (my father) ask them to unlock the phone (just after resigning a contract) how will they react?

    thanks in advance

    Rob

    Might be different for a business account but they generally won't do it until you are half way through the current contract. It's probably different for business but when you get a new phone you are usually entering into a new contract.

    Ebay unlock, pay by paypal. Around €30.

    DOn't know if its different on business, but eMobile won't unlock early generally, you have to wait until contract is paid. Apparently the eBay unlocks won't work for eMobile either.

    They will unlock when you have a year and a day done. You can downgrade price plan then as well. I did it a little over a year ago.

    Typical different information from eMobile. Wouldn't unlock mine until my contract was finished

    They wouldn't unlock the gf's either and she only had two weeks if even left on her contract.
