    If you are anywhere near Uxbridge, there is a market stall which will unlock it for you for £5, in a couple of minutes, and they sell sim cards very cheap, eg Orange for £3, etc. Shop around, and don't be conned, some want to charge £15.

    When your contract finishes, you may request the unlocked from vodafone directly free or charge by calling customer services. Vodafone call the unlock code a 'NUC' which stands for Network Unlocking Code.

    If you are still within your contract period there is normally a charge of £20. The NUC is usually supplied straight away if they have it already on their system, or it can take up to 6 weeks if they need to request it from the manufacturer.

    With the V630i, the cheapest way to unlock would be direct with Vodafone as the if you go a specialist phone unlocker you would be paying about £35.

    Hope that helps.
