Unlock my iPhone from Vodafone

Hello Apple Community,
I recently tried to unlock my iPhone4 from Vodafone.
Visited Vodafone.com.au/unlock and put my IMEI in.
Then followed the instructions for iTunes. Did full back up, restore, etc etc BUT at no point did I get the message "your phone is now unlocked"
I did the same process recently on my sons phone and got this message, but I did not get this message during my process.
Does this mean that the Unlock was not successful??
Can I check this somehow?
Please advise,
cheers
Nick

I would suggest that you contact Vodaphone for assistance
to check if your iPhone did get unlocked and, if is was not
unlocked, what can be done to unlock it.

    how can i unlock my iphone from the us?? please help

    If you are referring to a lock to a specific cell carrier, so you can use the iPhone with a different carrier, only the cell carrier to whom the phone is locked can authorize unlocking. You will need to contact the carrier.

    i want to unlock my ipad3 from vodafone in uk. Is it possible to do it through apple store?

    I could be wrong, but I do not believe carriers unlock iPads.
    Regardless, it's up to the carrier, contact them and ask.

    Only the carrier the phone is locked to can authorize the unlock. You will need to contact Vodafone to see if you qualify for an unlock.

    Can i use my iPhone from vodafone egypt in Qatar with a new SIM card from vodafone Qatar

    No. Vodaphone Egypt and Vodaphone Qatar are two different carriers. They have the same parent company, but you can not use a phone locked to Vodafone Egypt with a Vodafone Qatar SIM.

  • Officially unlocked 3G iphone from Abu Dhabi duty free shop

    In April 08 I had bought officially unlocked 3G iphone from Abu Dhabi duty free shop. They had told me that this is Apple officially unlocked iphone and can be upgraded later. When I upgraded my phone to 3.0 from 2.2, my phone got locked. So be aware of this ..

    Hello, I think I'm experiencing the same problem. Officially unlocked 3G, no network anymore after upgrading to 3.0. Restart/Restore didn't help. The SIM card doesn't seem to be the evildoer, it works in other phones. The iphone is not locked, it works with other SIM cards. seems somehow the combination of phone and sim causing problems. Didn't resolve that yet. You?

  • HT5661 How can I unlock my iphone from Iusacel (Mexico) I moved to Canada and the Iusacel company told me they cannot do it. Can you tell me how? I want to keep using my iphone.

    How can I unlock my iphone from Iusacel (Mexico) I moved to Canada and the Iusacel company told me they cannot do it. Can you tell me how? I want to keep using my iphone.

    The normal process is to request the unlock with the carrier.  They process it and pass it on to Apple to be applied to the Apple's iPhone database.  The carrier would then inform you when Apple has provisioned the unlock, and you would restore your iPhone as a new device in iTunes to apply the unlock (you would get a message at the end of that restore as new in iTunes indicating the unlock was successfully applied).  You could then restore your iPhone from backup to get everything back as it was.
    However, for some carriers, you seem to beed to complete the iTunes restore from within the country where they provide service.  Regardless, have you tried restoring as new in iTunes to see if it processes any provisioned unlock request?  Just be sure to backup the iPhone first, before restoring as new.

  • Once I receive my Network Access Code(N.A.C.) for iphone 5 what are the next steps I follow to unlock my phone from vodafone to use on another network???

    Once I recieve my Network Access Code(NAC) for my iPhone 5, what are the next steps I follow to unlock it from vodafone to use on another network???
    I have my other nano sim ready and waiting to port my number to it, but im just waiting on vodafone to email me the NAC code, which i checked up that I was eligible for!!!

    Ok many thanks for telling me this BUT 1 last thing, once vodafone get back to me then is it just a matter of plugging my iphone into itunes and letting it sync? Like will a message be displayed or anything on screen letting me know or confirming that the phone has been unlocked...???

  • I am trying to unlock my iphone from Orange to "3".

    I have requested the neccessary details from Orange. And paid for it.
    I have followed the instructions but the phone will NOT activate either by phone itself or iTunes.
    I have tried it with an Orange card in and also a 3 card.
    Its pathetic that something is made so difficult to do.
    I need help with this as it is driving me mad.
    I have also looked all over the internet and this is a very common probem
    Help please

    Did you follow the steps exactly in the email you got from Orange
    to unlock the iPhone? At the end of those steps, did iTunes give you
    the message 'Congratulations. Your iPhone is now unlocked''?
    If you did not get that message, your iPhone is still locked and only
    Orange can resolve the matter.
    If you did get that message before the update, repeat all the steps again
    to see if it will unlock now - you may have to do this multiple times for
    it to work.
    What does it say when you look at Settings=?General=>About=>Carrier?

  • How can i unlock my iphone from a Japanese carrier???

    I have bought an iphone 5s from Japan and it worked fine until i went to my service provider to check why my 3G wasnt working. My service provider then told me that my sim card wasnt being read by the phone anymore after she reset my network settings. My phone is apparently locked to NTT Docomo and Vodafone told me to email them, but all i get when i email them is an automated msg giving me a referance number which is practically useless because they never followed through and its been 2 weeks now. Even this morning i emailed them with the referance number they gave me and all i get is the same email they had sent me in the very beginning saying..
    Thank you for your interest in NTT DOCOMO.
    We will do our best to respond to all reasonable inquiries in a timely manner.
    However, please note that some inquiries may take longer to address depending on their nature.
    Please also note that auto reply does not guarantee that your inquiry will be addressed.
    and then underneath my referance number again.
    I have already spent a lot on this phone and all these sites offering to unlock my phone for a price which is not guranteed makes me wonder if its safe or not.
    The wierd thing is that i had bought 2 others mobiles for my dad and cousin when i bought mine and they are both working fine!

    I have tried ...i used the correct area code and all. Its saying the number is not available at the moment ...even the japanese speaking only number i tried and i got these numbers from their site. I dont know how else i can contact them!

  • I am wondering the advantages of unlocking my iphone from its present phone carrier. Will it hurt me? I was thinking of taking it abroad for use but I want to have a service here in the states as well.

    Hello, I have a recently purchased iphone. I am wondering if theres any problems if I want to unlock it from its former phone provider? The person I bought it from was with AT&T and I want to use the phone both here and abroad. The problem is if I go abroad with a locked phone it wont work there. Can I have it unlocked and yet use it here as well?

    Check this link from AT about qualifications for a unlock from AT&T http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB414532&cv=820#fbid=6d7EKuCF_dr
