o2 deliver iPhone unlock as promised

As we reported a few days ago, o2 have promised to unlock iPhones that are on pay monthly anytime and after 12 months if your iPhone is on pay as you go. They have a form that you need to fill in to request the unlock and then wait a maximum of 14 days. My situation was a little different, yes I have an iPhone on pay monthly but I bought an iPhone 3GS on pay as you go back in July.

I filled out the form and put in the IMEI number of my iPhone 3GS and hoped for the best, about 15 minutes ago I received a text from O2 telling me the iPhone had been unlocked.

I put in a Vodafone Sim Card into the phone and fired up iTunes, a couple of minutes later and the following message appeared.Thank you o2 job well done, now I can use my iPhone at home as a phone with decent signal strength.
