Originally a vodaphone contract phone . no unlocking needed for ovivo.

Ovivo is now bust so can people recommend unkickig companies for s3 which are reputable and cheap online. I know some a re crooks so asking here first.

    I used this company last week - cost me £4.99 instead of the £19.99 Vodafone wanted to unlock my PAYG Huawei G300. It was all done in less than 24 hours - they sent 4 codes & the first one worked straight away

    I went on the excellent reviews I found for them from othe previous customers.

    Check the phone with a non Voda sim, Vodafone haven't been locking contract handsets for quite some time.

    I don't think there are many unlockers supplying codes for Samsungs, so it won't be as cheap. Motorola codes seemed readily available when the G came out.

    You should look at the price for a Lumia code...

    As mentioned above. I have not had a Voda contract phone locked for many years.

    Bit expensive?
    Still cheaper then £15 you can't compare Moto G different company to Samsung

    Try unlocking a Iphone if you think that's expensive.

    Hi federer,

    As d123 suggested, could you try a non Vodafone SIM in the phone to see if it works?

    If it doesn't, Google 'Vodafone unlocking codes' and the top search result will link you to the form you'll need to complete to request it from us. As you were a Pay monthly customer, we'll provide the code free of charge.

    Kind regards,

    Lee
