With Orange i had it within 72 hours but it can take up to 2weeks. It just depends how busy the Apple team are as it gets sent straight through to them at the end of each day. I'd imagine they are quite busy with 4S unlocks just now

grumpyoldbat: O2 seem to be quite patchy depending on who you ask i'd callback again. I even heard about a CS agent saying they do not unlock devices which run iOS5 which is total rubbish.

madscotsboy: I did even use iTunes in the unlocking of mine & my fathers 3Gs just needed synced that was all.

Found out the reason why it was taking a while, so started the process again today.

Are you on PAYG?

I've just unlocked my O2 iPhone 4S on a contract, free of charge.

Just go to the unlocking form here: https://www.o2.co.uk/apps/help/help?...locking%20Form
