Have you received confirmation from o2 that your husbands phone has been unlocked ?

 

it typically takes 7 days and your advised via e mail.

 

With the iphone you need to insert the virgin sim card and hook up to itunes to complete the unlock.

 

Your daughter may need to speak to Virgin to let them know she now has an Iphone ref data use.

 

Here is the link incase she need to input the APN Settings for the Virgin network.
