Whats the best place to get phone unlocked outside network provider,

Ive ordered a s7 from ee, Im going on holiday in a few weeks and would like to use a local sim but it will be locked and ee wont unlock it for 6 months,

Ive looked around but I can think of anyone that will unlock it.

my only options are use my old phone or cancel and get my phone from a company that offers unlocked phones.

Is the phone on contract or pay as you go?

It's so new I don't imagine anywhere but the carrier will be able to do it at the minute.

If you cancel the contract and order it through someone like CPW or mobiles.co.uk then they provide SIM free phones no matter which network your contract is on.

Contract with EE who have a wait 6 month before unlocking policy for some reason.

This is one of the reasons I would consider buying from CPW.

im really considering this, but EE gave me a good deal, CPW cant get near the deal.

What about someone like mobiles.co.uk? It's rare a network provider beats their deals.

Hmm I'm in same boat as want to use it with my German sim. What is the deal if I wanted to cancel it? The phone is due to be delivered tomorrow I think.

Does the 6 month rule still apply even if you have an existing contract with them ?

Would these unlock code sites not be able to do it?
