No NUC code from Vodafone

Hi, I have given Vodafone The IMEI code, copy of the phone purchase receipt, they will not give me the code. Is there anything I can do to push things along?

    Are you a Vodafone or ex-Vodafone customer?

    Thank you for the replies. I have been waiting for two weeks. Their record for the IMEI code is different to the one I have by dialling *#06#, They asked for a purchase receipt which I sent via email, they did not consider this a valid 'prof of purchase' Vodafone suggest I visit the nearest shop with phone, passport, proof of purchase, and they will 'sort' it!! Why should I do this, I live 12 miles from the nearest Vodafone shop! I am still a Vodafone pay-as-u-go customer with £8.00 credit on the phone. What should I do next?

    Take it to the nearest shop (12 miles away)? That's what I would do...

  • Where did you buy the phone from? Have you asked if they could help?

    Or just go to a shop, 12 miles isnt that far.

    Have you had the phone repaired at any time? Some repairs will reset the IMEI.

    No, never repaired How come Vodafone have one IMEI code and I have another for the same phone?

    Do you by any chance still have the box the item came in? What IMEI is shown on the receipt if any?
  • Thank you for the reply. I don't have the box any more. Purchased from Tesco Direct 2014. A copy invoice - receipt is in the post to me will the IMEI code be on that?
