Unlock code

I have confirmation that I own my 5g hub and it is not owned by three so why do I need a pin to get into it, does anyone know how to unlock the router from three especially when they do not own it

Hi @Dazzar,

I don't think we're referring to the same documentation here. The terms I've directed you to say:

"Where we have provided any 5G Equipment this Equipment is not owned by you and is loaned to you for the duration of you taking our Services. The 5G Equipment is supplied to you at no cost and remains the property of Three at all times."

I don't recall that we have ever offered a 5G home broadband plan on an 18 month term so perhaps there's some confusion on the differences between this and an older plan's terms?

With the devices being sold online I assume you mean through 2nd hand marketplaces? Thanks for alerting us to this, I'll certainly feed this back.

OK so three can give you the unlock code. I went through this. Customer services always say they're supplied unlocked, they aren't. As long as you cave completed the contract minimum term they have to give it to you, but it needs to be escalated to the third line team to get it and the costomer service team won't know even that it is needed.

It's a 16 digit alpha numeric code, they supply 2, 1 of them should work.

I paid a company £50 to unlock mine and it worked perfectly first time.

Hi Dazzar

 

I have the same problem, please would you be able to guide me on how to unlock the router? 

 

Thanks! Sorina

Hi @Sorinab,

To my understanding any routers we supplied in the last couple of years aren't actually network locked. Have you tried an alternative SIM in the device yet?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan can you please share the steps for the specialist team?

 

I have one of the routers from the very old batch (around 2021) which seemed to be the locked ones.

Been in contact with front-line customer service and they are sadly lost with no guidance on this issue as the routers are not supposed to be locked.
