they are still going to take up to 10 days for the unlocking process right? anyone know if unlocking can be done if the phone is outside Australia?

i am wondering if anyone can help me. i will be in australia for a week in feb, and i heard that it will take up to 10 days for the telco to send the unlock code. I am wondering if i will still be able to receive the code, and hence unlock the phone if i am out of australia.

I know there is the yellowsnow thing out, but i prefer to have the telco unlock it for me. Thanks in advance.

i am planning to get the prepaid one from Optus and another one by signing up for a plan as my sister is going to be studying there. For the one on prepaid, i think they are going to contact me using the prepaid number isnt it? I have to sort this one out before i go over, as if it takes up to 10 days, i might ask someone to get it for me first.

thanks man, i hope all will go well.
