NOKIA N73 - unblocking with vodaphone

My Vodaphone contract finished and I requested the unblocking code so that I could change to Virgin 'pay as you go'. Vodaphone made it very difficult and informed me that the Nokia N73 did not have the facility to unblock, therefore, I had to stay with Vodaphone contract or 'pay as you go'.

I spoke with the head office and complained regarding 'freedom of choice'. I was given the unblocking code. I believe that Vodaphone are not transparent.

    Don't get confused between unlock and unblock. Unblocking is illegal - blocking is barring an IMEI due to loss or theft of a phone. Unlocking is about using other network's SIMs in your phone.

    Well done for nagging them into giving you the unlocking code, very naughty of them to feed you the blag! Most people would have given up at the the first hurdle
