I've just registered in the hope of a simple answer to what may seem a stupid question...
Have just inherited my girlfriend's 3GS, after she upgraded to the 4. She has just received the unlock email from Orange - see below:
****Please note there is no code required to unlock your iphone/ipad****
1) Insert a non-Orange 3G SIM card.
2) Switch ON the handset.
3) The handset should display: USB cable and iTunes icon.
4) Synchronise device with iTunes
5) Once synchronised a message will appear on iTunes stating Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked
6) Follow on screen set up instructions to enable new carrier settings
Your handset should now be successfully unlocked.
Should this not show, please keep other network 3G sim in the iphone and restore the iphone via iTunes making sure all data is backed up first.
Presumably this should be very straightforward. However, my question relates to the process...
Should this all be done on her Itunes account or mine (when i get round to creating one!)? My fear is that doing it the wrong way may result in the phone being locked again.
I guess this is just my luddite wariness of big bad corporations. Apologies for being dim!
