Nokia 3310 - Unlocked but won't work abroad

Hi, I have a Nokia 3310 that I bought from Tesco on Tesco Mobile PAYG. I found that I didn't have any coverage at home, so I asked for a PAK code and unlocked the phone and bought a Vodaphone Sim. It works fine until I go abroad, then it appears to be barred. Vodaphone tell me it is not barred from them, so something must be barred in the phone.

Any clues?

Jean
