    I bought the phone like 3 years ago now so no contact with the original seller from adverts and have been with 3 on prepay since

    Just wondering is it possible to get it unlocked I remember reading into it when i bought the phone but ended up just sticking with 3 anyways

    Iv sent in an unlock code form and waiting for a reply back is there anyone else out there who has a second hand iPhone locked to 3 that's been unlocked for you

    Filled in that form myself for a secondhand iphone 4 a while back and more recently a secondhand iphone 5. They wouldn't unlock the 4 but did the 5!

    They will only deal with the original owner, according to Three. If they did the 5 for the above poster it was a mistake.

    Good stuff, yeah give it the 24 hours anyway, it's a simple process from here.
