Hi,

 

The issue msybe because Vodafone didn't supply the iPhone directly to you but instead a 3rd party independent did. 

 

They the independent should have updated Vodafone with its imei number. 

 

Some info in Vodafone and Unlocking.

 

Live Chat or Customer service maybe able to help and or provide you with the Direct email address for Vodafone Nuc Resolutions.

 

Alternatively you could use a Vodafone Payg SIM card in the iPhone for 30 days making calls , sending texts etc and then use the new Payg account information to request the unlock. 

 

Tip ->

 

An iPhone is not unlocked via inputting an unlock code but instead is unlocked via Apple and their Database.

 

Vodafone would email you to confirm it's been requested after accepting your unlock request. 
Apple then can take occasionally approximately up to 30 days to complete an unlock request made by a Network.

 

Periodically insert an active Non-Vodafone Sim Card in the iPhone and hook up to iTunes.

 

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

 

Current Phone  >

Samsung Galaxy s²³ Ultra 512gb Phantom Black.

I applied for a NUC on 27 October 29017. Still not received on 17 November. Why@

This is a Vodafone device supplied directly by Vodafone as part of a contract
