Good - an easy question.  Yep, if you bought your iPhone phone from Vodafone, you can unlock it via this unlocking page.

unlock.vodafone.com.au

 

There's also a handy guide available:

If your IMEI isn't already in the database, it might take 4-5 business days from filling out the Difficulties form. If you're successful, it says so and provides unlocking instructions.  QED!

Hi,

 

I have the same issue and I try it as you said after I put my handset's IMEI to receive the unlocking code, as well as the instructions to unlock my handset. Unfortunately, I cannot find the unlock code it appears only instructions, Handset unlock procedure for me IMEI. Besides, the manufacturer/model is not correct. Please kindly assist what do I need to do.

 

Cheers,

Hi Jism - the iPhone unlocks differently to most other phones.  The IMEI unlock info is put into a database then the handset is actually unlocked through iTunes.  There's not a specific unlock code.

 

It sounds like all you need to do now is connect the handset to iTunes and follow the directions.

 

This article covers most of the process.

Hi Guys,

 

Peter is spot on :smileyhappy: Thanks Peter!

 

You just need to complete the instructions on the unlocking page and if your IMEI number is not found then you will need to fill in the difficulties form. You can then try entering your IMEI again into the unlocking page after approximately 4-5 business days.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions at all.

 

Thank you,

 

Charlotte
