    Hi, Just being extra cautious that pictures/contacts are saveed when I unlock Iphone.

    Below is the instructions I have received to unlock my Iphone ...

    Please follow the below mentioned instructions for unlocking your iPhone.

    iPhone Unlocking Instructions:

    1. Connect the I-phone to I-Tunes.
    2. From the Devices Menu on the left hand side of the I-Tunes screen, right click on the I-phone and select Back Up.
    3. Once the Back Up has completed click the Restore button, from within the Version section on the I-phone summary tab.

    4. When the Restore has completed, a message advising the I-phone has been unlocked will appear.
    5. Click the Continue button.
    6. Tick the Restore from the backup of: tick box and select your I-phone from the drop down list.
    7. Click the Continue button.
    8. Your I-phone is now unlocked and has been restored; however, you will need to Sync the I-phone with I-Tunes to re add all your media to the I-phone.

    In relation to to #2 does this mean all my pictures and contacts will be saved as a back up and will be still on my iphone after I click "restore" on #3 and it is unlocked. if this is the case and I continue to #8 how do you sync he I-phone with I-Tunes to re add all your media to the I-phone.
    ?

    thanks for any replies:)

    Mobile Phone forum might help better - but if its any use to you - I unlocked a UK IPhone to Ireland couple weeks ago - and I didn't need do all that Backup and Restore.

    After I received the message to say the uk had freed the phone - I just connected it to a laptop with ITunes on it and it said it was now unlocked.... Everything is working fine.

    “Roll it back”
