Unlocking iPhone4 iOS6 by the book
Hello,
I did everything by the book. Upon expiration of my time-plan contract, I submitted the unlock request to my service provider (from whom I also bought the device first-hand), and got the unlock authorization confirmation, stating that the request was accepted by Apple. I've been advised to connect the device to the iTunes on the Mac where I sync the contents and keep my backups, and the iTunes app would guide me through the process.
I did it, yet, nothing happened so far.
I have tried up to my best in browsing the support pages, yet found very little information that could be of any use.
I requested the unlock not because I wanted to change the provider, but because on few iPhone 4's (including mine) there is a "Dial Assist" firmware bug which prevents from correctly dialing some emergency numbers. Even if one turns DialAssist off, it still stays on, on a locked device, nevertheless.
The "Learn about iPhone: About unlocking" page points me to wrong directions. I don't want to erase my contents, I don't want to plug a new SIM card so far, I just want having the device *unlocked*. Most legal way. With carrier authorization. By the book.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
UU
