@Nady 

 

All the info and criteria to unlkck an iPhone locked to the Uk Vodafone network are in

 

help-and-information/unlocking-your-phone. 

 

unlock-code-request form 

 

An iPhone is not unlocked via inputting a Nuc {unlocking code} like other phone models are, but instead is unlocked remotely by Apple themselves and their Database.

So no actual Nuc is sent by Vodafone UK. 

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

 

Please Note > The iPhone isn't actually usually unlocked to all networks at this stage when Vodafone email you. 

 

What happens is Apple then process the Networks request and occasionally this can take Apple approximately from a few days upto a further 30+ days sometimes from Vodafone's email to complete an unlock request made by a Network. 

To complete the process please periodically insert an active i.e. connects to mobile network data, alternative Networks Sim Card in the iPhone with hooking upto iTunes is only typically needed if its an iPhone 4 or older although it wouldn't harm to do so. 

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

When it's unlocked you should see a pop up message and the alternatives Networks name will show in the iPhone's status bar.

Hi @Nady 

 

You're very welcome.

To unlock an iPhone locked to Vodafone Uk please use the links I supplied.  :Smiling:

Look at the information in the link I added on my first reply to make sure you fulfil the criteria to unlock your iPhone.

Then check again from the info also in the online unlocking form link I added in my first reply, and then fill it out.

The rest of my reply clearly explains what happens once Vodafone accept your online request and email you @Nady 

I hope that helps. :Smiling:

Hi @Nady 

 

  1. You must have been using your Vodafone Uk sim card in the iPhone while being in the Uk to make calls etc for 30 days on Payg. If on Vodafone Uk Pay Monthly then x3 bill's need to have been paid on time as well as the Vodafone Uk sim card being used for 30 days making calls etc.
  2. No Nuc is sent by Vodafone to unlock the iPhone as Apple unlock it centrally.
  3. Fill out vodafone-uk/forms/unlock-code-request. Choose What kind of account do you have? And then choose Pay Monthly or Payg and once you've chosen the answers to the next questions you'll see the form to fill out.
  4. Wait for Vodafone Uk to email you confirming they've accepted your unlock request.
  5. When they do then insert your alternative network sim card that's activated. i.e o2 or EE for example.
  6. It can take Apple approximately a few days but upto 30 days to unlock the iPhone centrally.
  7. Once unlocked you'll see a message pop up on the iPhone's display saying it's unlocked.

OK being in another country brings in other issues I'm afraid @Nady 

If you haven't used the iPhone on the Vodafone UK network for sometime and or you've forgotten the mobile number then the only real options to unlock the phone is to use an online unlocking site that's reputable or a Highstreet Store that advertises they unlock phones.

You could also engage with the Vodafone Social Media Team to see if you can pass security checks for them.to try and find your Vodafone Uk Mobile number.

Or if you know someone in the Uk you could post it to them and they use a Vodafone Payg sim card in the phone fkr 30 days making calls then they request its unlock using the new Vodafone Payg account details and then post it back to you.
