    How do I unlock an iPhone from Orange?

    Orange will unlock your iPhone for a fee of £20 providing you’ve had it for at least 3 months. The unlocking process takes between 7-10 days to complete. According to Orange:
    If it’s a pay monthly phone you’ll need to call 150 free from your handset, or 07973 100 150 from a landline (call charges may vary).
    If it’s a pay as you go phone you’ll need to call 450 from your handset, or 07973 100 450 from a landline (call charges may vary).
    Many readers have experienced difficulties in unlocking an iPhone from Orange although there are some success stories too. Please do share your experiences in the comments below too!

    -------------------
    Ring back and talk to someone else. They will unlock it so long as you've had it 3 months. Orange can be anal, it just depends who you talk to. If it was under contract and is now a hand me down, explain that - then tell them your willing to pay the £20.

    I've recently tried two options, and both worked perfectly. The first was a Gevey sim which allowed me to use my Swisscom sim in a UK T mobile locked phone. I got it off EBay for something like 8 quid. I then found a proper unlock solution on EBay for £25 and went with that next, it came through fine on iTunes and now my iPhone 4s is fully unlocked. There are lots of these guys operating on EBay, try and find one with the best rep.

    Absolutely, the unlock is permanent i.e not a hack but a carrier unlock.
