5G Three router after contract cancellation locked or unlocked

[paugan1992]

hi I just canceled my three broadband contract because the connection has been terrible for the last 3 months, looks like they removed local 5G mast nearby. I intend to keep the router though cause it will only cost me 105£ but I am not 100% sure if it won’t be blocked for other networks after the contract finishes? I tried vodafone and EE sims and they work fine at the moment but someone recently told me that they lock the router after the contract is done, even if you pay the 105£ fee.

Hello there. 

Keeping the Hub after the contract term has passed will not result in it being locked. Some older hubs had a lock on them, and it's likely those users who experienced issues using other SIMs.
