What if the phone was restored and backed up before receiving 'the notification for the unlock process'?

What if the phone was restored and backed up, before receiving an e-mail of the approval for the device to be unlocked, and the steps for the unlock process? Is it still going to work/get unlocked? PS: Sent the phone overseas to a family member. They plan on using a SIM card.

iPhone 4S

Actually, it's straight forward:


1. Connect phone to computer you normally sync with & either sync or backup manually. First thing done when you sync is an iPhone backup.


2. Hit the Restore button on the Summary Pane, this restores the phone as a new device. At the end, you'll get the "Congratulations" screen.


3. Then, restore the phone from the backup made when you started. Sync content back to phone & you're done.
