hi i contacted vodafone for the unlocking code for my i-phone 4 got an e-mail back tell me they have unlocked it and to put a different network sim in then do a software reset did this but when i put an o2 sim in it just says no service even when i go into settings and choose o2 it says restricted am i doing something wrong or have vodafone not unlocked it cheers
have connected it to itunes and thats where i did the software reset as the email from vodafone said to do that but still nothing how do vodafone unlock it without sending me a code number to put in cheers
they just do, unlock codes are a thing of the past.
did you do a reset with the o2 sim or the vodafone? try it with the o2 as first start up it'll look for activation which connecting to itunes will sort out
ive just erased everything so that when i turn it on its just showing the picture telling me to connect to itunes so i have done that with my o2 sim in and now its done a sync but saying no service
you have to do a full restore on ya fone download it and install when connected to itunes , then you will get the message you have unlocked the phone , just beware to make a back up before you do it , i didnt and lost all my pics (
ive done a full restore erased everything from my fone then when i plug the wire into my laptop it doesnt mention anything about it been unlocked just says would you like to do a sync from my back up
it took 3 days from when i asked for it to be unlocked until it worked , but you deffo have to do a full restore and it deffo will say congratulation you phone is now unlocked maybe ring voda fone back up , i also had to give them my ime off phone i take they ask you as well m8
when i erased it then synced it with itunes its showing the o2 fone number under my serial number but once its finished my fone says no service so i have redone the unlock form will see what happens now cheers
Was it a case of just waiting for the process to complete?
Yes vodafone sent me an email 2days ago saying it was unlocked tried the o2 sim today now its working and vodafone did it for free as im over twelve months of my contract
