Unlock code - Iphone

[Sportsview]

I filled in the online unlock form on 28 September but still haven't received our unlock code. I spoke to someone at Vodafone and they advised to come over to the Community boards to see if you could help. How do I get my unlock code for me iPhone?

Hi @Sportsview

Please check any Spam email boxes too. 

The iPhone is not unlocked via inputting an unlock code like other phone makes are, but instead is unlocked remotely via Apple and their Database.

The Vodafone Network typically lets a person know it's unlocking has been requested to Apple after accepting your online unlock request. (Please Check Spam Inboxes too)

Apple then process the Networks request and occasionally this can take approximately up to 30 days sometimes to complete an unlock request made by a Network.

Please Periodically insert an active Alternative Networks Sim Card in the iPhone and hook up to iTunes. When it's unlocked you should see a pop up message and the alternatives Networks name will show in the iPhone's status bar. 

From the iPhone 5 onwards there's not normally the need to hook up to iTunes to complete the process.
