Is there an unlocking code for the VK530? I want to bid on one but it's locked to Vodaphone. If there is a code to unlock it for any network please let me know.

    both can be done remotely but would be between £10 -£15
    would be about £5-£10 on market stall
    you can get the unlocking cable for vk for about £7 and there is some s/w available to unlock it, if you know where to look ; )

    the v220 can be unlocked with a mini usb cable from an mp3 player and some free s/w (not tried it myself this way though)

    I went to my local vodaphone shop and they printed me off a sheet telling me how to unlock my vk530 myself at no cost. No need for any special leads or software.
