Hi

 

Vodafone will send the account holder an email confirming the unlock have been requested. 

 

The iPhone is not typically unlocked at this stage. 

 

It can take Apple another 20-30 days approximately complete the actual unlock. 

 

Pop in an active non Vodafone sim card in this timeframe periodically to complete the unlocking.

 

From the iPhone 5 onwards it's not always necessary to hook up to iTunes to complete the unlocking. An iPhone is not unlocked by a code you key in. 

Current Phone  >

Samsung Galaxy s²³ Ultra 512gb Phantom Black.

 

 

Or alternatively 

 

A person can use a payg sim card in the iPhone for a minimum of 30 days making calls,sending texts and using data and topping up and they then request the unlock using their own payg details.
