I requested a NUC code on the 05.11.14 for my old iPhone 4s and you state on your web site 10 days and its has now been 14 days?
I have given this phone to my sister who would like to use it but dhe is on 02 network. Can you please update me on what is going on with my request.
Solved! Go to best answer.
Hi there
Unfortunately it does sometimes take Apple in the region of 3 weeks to complete the unlocking. Have you checked to see if the phone is unlocked yet? If not, you can do so by connecting the handset to iTunes with a non Vodafone SIM card in it. If it has been unlocked, you will get a message in iTunes telling you so once you connect it.

Because Apple are noted for dragging their feet on this issue. It normally takes 7 - 10 working days but 3 weeks seems to be becoming the new norm with them.
