Unlocking Brandnew Phone(prepaid) wait time

[diesel85]

Im looking to replace my current phone and was looking at getting the Lg k32, Was wondering if I bought it prepaid from koodoo or telus if I would be able to have it unlocked immediately or if there is a wait period?.

Thank you! I am going to go with one from Chatr and wondering if there was a way I can find out if it the "bands" are compatible as it is not showing up on the search list on public mobile

There is no wait period. However, the phone should already be unlocked. In most cases, Telus-locked device don't need to unlocked to use them at Public Mobile, regardless.
