I sent through a NUC request form on the 24th of December 2019. Until now I have not received any correspondence in regards to the unlock can someone please let me know if it has been sent to Apple to be unlocked? It is an iPhone 7.
 
Can I please have an update on where this is please and what’s going on.
 
Thank you

Can you check any Spam email in boxes @Naphtali 

As long as a person hits the criteria for unlocking then Vodafone will arrange unlock.

Account access isn't available via this forum anymore so please do check your unlock request status via 191 or live Chat or the Vodafone Social Media Teams via Contact-us-for-account-specific-queries. These have account access.

It maybe worth just inserting an activated alternative network sim card and see if it works or not.

They hooking upto iTunes too.

To add once Vodafone have confirmed they've accepted your request.

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.
