Unlocking iPhone SE

[Philtor]

Hi Folks I was reading on here a while back that Carphone Warehouse had been selling iPhone stock intended for contract use and in this case the handsets lock to the first network they are registered on.

I got my iPhone from the Carphone Warehouse so used the O2 App to request an unlock and got the following email from O2;

'Your iPhone unlatching request has been completed. To finish off unlocking your iPhone you need to put a non-O2 sim in and connect to iTunes using a USB cable. iTunes will then tell you the unlocking was successful'.

I'm waiting on a Gifgaff Sim to complete the above however, will this process completely unlock my iPhone or I will end up with it locked to Gifgaff after performing the above?

Sorry if this is a stupid question but want to be sure before doing it.

Thanks

Ah right thanks. So if I get a Vodafone sim for example this will completely unlock the phone after performing the above?

Ok thanks

So I have just completed the above using a Vodafone sim but iTunes did not confirm the phone was unlocked when connected.

Perhaps it did and I never noticed but I was getting service on the Vodafone network and back on O2 again now with no issues.

I assume the unlock has worked ok then?
