I really appreciate all the interest in this small matter. The joke of it all is that when I bought the phone online for some reason I thought it was a skinny phone! 

 

As I still do not want to go to the store (I will spare you the reasons) I have to say in this world of home delivery and over the top service I am suprised  can not send the phone ?? But I will leave it there

 

Thank you agin for your help and suggestions

 

Stay Safe

Actually, I'm curious to know why you don't want to go into the store. Is it really that difficult?

Is it unreasonable to expect you should be able to do this without visiting a physical store? It is 2020 after all, and telcos have been pushing for digital-first and self-service options for a long time (as have most other businesses).

 

I'm sorry but I really don't understand why expecting or wanting a self-service/over the phone/internet solution to this is so controversial.

do you want to put a Skinny SIM in it? If you do it will just work like with a Spark SIM.

Sorry I forgot to end the story

 

So I decided to check warehouse stationary ad again and discovered that in one place they said "locked" and in another they said "unlocked" ahha!

 

so I rang them a lovely lass helped me. Within the day they got back to me saying they would like to resolve the problem can they have my imei number.

 

day later she RANG ME with the code to enter to unlock the phone. Problem solved! Guess who im going to favor in the future! Phone now takes 2 degrees and skinny all good.

 

Just like the movies a happy ending!
