Key points

All iPhoneUnlockUK.com Official Unlocks are permanent, official manufacturer's unlocks done through the network and iTunes itself, allowing you to use your iPhone on any GSM network worldwide and sync with iTunes without fear of it ever re-locking.

Cheap solutions are temporary, and rarely ever work and involve jumping through hoops - and even if you ever manage to successfully unlock your device, once you connect to iTunes to sync your music, you will be locked out.

Why do this instead of a cheap temporary unlock?

The benefit of this is that its very easy for you (just need to send us your IMEI) and there is no waiting around for updates to jailbreak software when Apple release a new firmware version - once you are officially unlocked you can safely upgrade AND sync within iTunes and keep your unlock.

How long does it take?

It's between instant and 48 hours, depending on the network.

How do I do it?

Simply fill in the form on this page, and make the one-off payment. We will email you when its been processed, you then connect your handset to iTunes to complete the unlock.
