Anyone had there 'three' phone unlocked yet?

mines at home in the box, not really used it all weekend :(

Same here. Still waiting for the text from three saying it's unlocked. Was told it would be Monday because of the weekend, so should happen today. It's just frustrating, especially when I've read of others unlocks happening within hours.

Did you buy yours on Friday too?

I got it Saturday and requested the unlock around 1pm

Hopefully I'll get home from work and it's done.

I sold my iPhone 4 a week or so before the announcement so I have been using a borrowed samsung d600 which is about 6 years old and awful lol

Again same here! Using a very old Samsung and it's a different world altogether... it's sad to admit but I've come to rely on my iPhone for work and home stuff and to be without is very annoying.

Let me know when you get your text and i'll do the same. Will be interesting to see when they do some through.
 
Is anyone still waiting for their order from Vodafone? My Dad ordered a Black and White IPhone but only the Black one came :(

I emailed them to cancel my order, as I bought a PAYG from 3, and they said they didn't even have an order from me...

We've had all the agreements through etc so they know about the order but i've still not received my White IPhone. This was all done on the 16th of October. I think i'm going to phone up later on but i was just wondering if anyone else was having problems getting the White IPhone specifically.
 
They are locked out of the box but if it is on PAYG I think you can ring vodafone and pay £15 to get it unlocked.

Thanks for your reply.

I've done a little digging and found this page...

http://help.vodafone.co.uk/system/s...PIC_INDEX=null&SIDE_LINK_SUB_TOPIC_INDEX=null

... which seems to suggest that you can unlock/request an NUC code free of charge?

This might be of some interest to some people.... I'll be trying it out once the aforementioned phone arrives!
 
Judging by the timeline I expected to see some change today. Ordered on the 12th and still processing to be delivered between 20th & 27th :(
 
I spoke to my local Apple Store and they said they aren't aware of anything like that.

Which stores did you speak to?

I spoke to the metro centre and eldon square stores at newcastle.

Thats only for pay monthly customers I think.

same here. My local Apple Store didn't know anything about SIM free phones on sale this week. But maybe they weren't allowed to say (?)


How are the people above getting on with their 3 Mobile unlock codes? Have they come through yet? That option is becoming more attractive. £30 premium but at least you'd get the phone today.

Nothing has come through yet, but I did buy mine on Friday and was told it wouldn't happen over the weekend as the unlocking team don't work weekends.

I've read of others on here who have bought on a weekday from three and has the unlock come through same day and next day.

Just called Three to see why my iPhone hadn't been unlocked yet. The had a look on their system and there was a message from Apple saying I would have to wait another 24/48 hours due to a backlog of unlocks being processed.

Frustrating! But still quicker than buying from Apple online I suppose.

Glad I rang Three instead of waiting and wondering... be nice if they contacted me to let me know though!
 
My 32 GB black arrived this morning from Apple. :D Ordered on the 9th, it was a long wait especially as the wife had her's on launch day.
 
my order : shipped 22/10/2011

but his statue is the same :confused:
