If you have a Vodafone Mobile that is locked, vodafone will now unlock them for free.
Not too sure if it is to with a new law coming, but call vodafone customer services on 191.
Contract phones of any age, even expired contract ones. They will also unlock contract phones recently taken out within 12 months.
PAYG phones have to be at least 12 months old.
They just need your IMEI number (type *#06# on the handset). They will then tell you the unlock code to unrestrict the handset and instructions. They know the phone make from the system after they have your IMIE.
I have just unlocked a new N95, and a dead old Motorola no problems.
Get digging them old phones out of the draws.
Apparently you can also request this online if you have a online vodafone account.

its a strange law, like the one where its illegal not to go to the local park on a sunday and practise your archery..............strange indeed as Virgin are soon to STOP unlocking phones for free according to reports on here.

they are supposed to be registered in your name, but in reality all you need to do is get a voda payt sim, and give them that mobile number and they shoud unlock any phone assuming its not reported lost or stolen

Yes, stick a voda sim in, call 191, give them the IMIE. Just say you have heard that you now unlock vodafones for free, and don't charge any more. He/she will ask for your IMIE, give you instructions and the code to type and when to type it..

Take care the IMIE is not cloned, check the sticker matches the code when typing *#06#
Also make sure it is not stolen, as it may flag on the IMIE database??
