If "3" UK have said they will unlock your iPhone

I believe they will need to see it active on their network IN the UK

to allow them to process the unlock request

If the iPhone is not in the UK it is unlikely they will be able to process the

request

I believe this is true and if u want ur phone unlocked u can buy an activation code or jailbreak it (as long as ur phone's IMEI no is not blacklisted or registered as stolen un can buy an activation code)

ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. You will have to ask them.
