  • Hi,
    Yes, I realised that maybe the case. However, I'm sure he will come up with the goods even if it is going to be after Christmas. Its disappointing to be in this situation, but it was bought and paid for in good faith. Speaks volumes that the seller has chosen to ignore my emails. Fingers crossed things will turn out well in the end. Best regards - sally

    HI,

    Please see PM for your unlock code, hopefully we will now have a happy child.

    To all the other members who send me PM's regarding Vodafone codes: the codes i get i have to pay for (i lot less than most as we buy in bulk) so please i cannot give them out for free, i wish i could but sadly it comes out of my pocket.

    Best Regards
    James

    go onto google and look up the cable and software needed to flash/unlock phone.

    I did my sony erricson for £15. Worked perfectly. I bought the cable from ebay.


    Edit: Some places claim to unlock it. Most others say you need to pay the company as any other methods are rubbish. Pay the £30. It's not much for piece of mind.

    I've been quoted £40 for getting a sony erricson unlocked at my local market stall. Would vodaphone do it cheaper?:confused:
