Do Vodafone still lock their handsets?

1111789 2010-06-20 21:32:00 If I remember correctly, they only locked phones for a few months, before being roasted by the commerce commission about it - at which point they reverted to selling them unlocked again.

If for some reason they do sell you a locked phone, I'm reasonably sure they are required to unlock it for you on request.

1111791 2010-06-20 22:59:00 Yeah, they have never locked their handsets, if they did it was for a very short period of time. Overseas stuff on the other hand is mostly network locked. Alex B (15479)
