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

Hi there
On the iPhone 5 or later, the IMEI number can be found on the back of the device near the bottom. If you aren't able to read the number there, you will need to put your SIM back into the phone, activate it and enter *#06# on your dialer in order to get the IMEI number.

Cheers Guys.
I'll amend my response now to people who want to unlock a phone they've purchased which is locked to Vodafone.
