iPhone 5 Unlocking

[Zachster]

I have just upgraded my iPhone 5, to an iPhone 6. What I want to do, is unlock the 5 handset for a family member to use. Unfortunately, when I attempt to fill in the online firm, I am unable to confirm the imei number for iPhone 5, as I a) my new phone is taking my sim and b) I can't yet put in the family members sim, due to it being a different network, meaning I can't open the imei number.

Any help on how to get this recently old handset unlocked would be most appreciated

I completed and sent the form over 6 weeks ago! Not heard anything since. The phone is an iPhone 5, spare after upgrading to iPhone 6.

Have you tried connecting the phone to iTunes with a non-Vodafne sim card in it to check whether it has been unlocked?

If it has you will see a pop-up message in iTunes informing you so.

Yardımcı olursanız sevinirim.

İngiltereden arkadaşım bir iphone5 getirdi.

e-devlet üzerinden kaydettirdim.

fakat sim kartı takıyorum sinyal alıyor fakat sim karttan kaynaklanan sorundan dolayı kullanamıyorum.

Türkiyedeki vodafone ile görüştüm çözemediler ve en son ingiltere vodafone ile irtibata geçip sim kilidinizi açtırın dediler..

telefon bu hatayı veriyor:

Eğer orijinal sahibi size £ 19,99 açma ücreti ödemek böylece İngiltere PAYG sim kartı ile yapmak değil gibi tek yolu telefonunuzun kilidini açmak için. ancak, 30 gün boyunca, UK ağda kullanılmak zorundadır.
Yopur diğer tek yolu orijinal sahibini bulmak ve sizin için bunu açmak için onlara sormak olduğunu.

Even though the iPhone was bought in England only the original owner and account holder can request the unlock so any SIM card can be used in the iPhone. 

IPhone İngiltere'de satın alındı ​​olsa sadece orijinal sahibi ve hesap sahibinin bu nedenle herhangi bir SIM kart iPhone kullanılabilecek kilidini talep edebilirsiniz.

@User1236435:
That is no longer the case.
Anyone with a phone locked to Vodafone can have the phone unlocked by using it on Vodafone's network for 30 days as a PAYG phone. They can then pay the £19.99 to have it unlocked.
Although that wil not help in this case as the owner is in Turkey.

When did this change come into effect. Is their a link to any official help pages on this ?

All that I've read from previous past posts lead to what I said. 

Thank you for the heads up.
