Vodafone to o2

Hi you can easily unlock your LG GT350 mobile from vodafone network lock using code .You can purchase code from sites like TheUnlockSpot.com they are rendering unlock code for all mobile models at reliable cost ....After unlocking your phone you can freely use it with any GSM sim ....

It's also called a SIM lock or network lock. Basically it's telling you that your phone will only work on Vodafone until you provide it with the correct code. You can get this from Vodafone by calling their customer service and asking about unlocking your phone but they might charge you for it.
There are also online services offering to unlock phones but I've never had to use one so I can't really offer advice on that. Your best bet is to call Vodafone and see what they have to say.

The answer is that there used to be a connection before O2 and Vodafone started blacklisting handsets! Orange and T-Mobile have been blacklisting handsets for a long time (It is only recently that O2 and Vodafone also started blacklisting handsets).

NB Orange & T-Mobile always lock their handsets!(e.g. an Orange handset will only accept an Orange SIM and will not accept an O2, Voda or T-Mobile SIM)

So if you reported your Orange or T-Mobile handset missing to your network it became barred/blacklisted! BUT it was only barred on your home network. Therefore unlocking the barred handset would enable it to work on every network except the one it was originally locked too! Therefore the phone still had some commercial value, as it would function on at least 3 out of the 4 networks.

It wasn't long before Orange and T-Mobile began to combine their individual blacklist databases. Therefore a phone barred on Orange was also barred on T-Mobile and vice versa. Even at this point the barred handset could be unlocked and used but only on 2 out of a possible 4 networks (O2 & Vodafone).

The government eventually stepped in and forced O2 and Vodafone to update their systems and introduced the CEIR. Now that all the networks share a central blacklist database, even if a barred handset is unlocked it still remains useless on ALL UK networks!


Hope that helps.

i have a samsung sgh G600 and it from uk and i live in India and when i put my indian sim it asks for network lock

i have the same problem i keep on putting my sims in (one tesco sim & one voda phone sim) and it said the same thing invalid sim. the sim regestars for about 2 seconds then it either says invalid sim or emergancey calls. whats a matter with it should i send it back.kjr2502

all you need to do is put a original simcard that came whit t phone so if it was locked to o2 and you unlocked the phone then all you have to do is put a o2 sim in it an walla the internet works without a problemhe

it will be your configeration settings, ring vodafone and they will sort it out, i had the same thing on my fone, vodafone fone with tmobile sim in it, they just sent a text with all the settings, u install that and it works fine x

Tell Vodafone that you want to change to O2. If your phone as it is will take O2 you will have no trouble. otherwise you will have to find a phone shop that will open the phone to all networks.

This is because you can't put an other network sim card in a different network phone.
Example: Vodafone SIM + T-Mobile Phone = Wont work.                Vodafone SIM + Vodafone Phone = Work.

i dont think vodafone lock there phones to only vodafone because they have never locked the vodafone mobiles i got so jsut try putting the sim straight in
