Cheap and cheerful , unlocking codes are from £1.49 on ebay
Also available to buy instore, but you will have to buy topup there, Quidco provides 3% cashback for purchase instore though (if you registered your card with them and activated their promotion).
To buy without a mandatory top-up:
There is a 'Keep Existing SIM' option at the bottom of the 'Bundles' page, which allows you to purchase a PAYG phone without a top-up. Unfortunately Vodafone now hides this button a few seconds after the page has loaded. You have to be quick to click the button, if you miss it simply hit F5 or the 'Refresh' button on your browser to reload the 'Bundles' page and try again.

I am so sorry that I am not tech savy.
I was asking a question no need to sarcastic. Some people need to get a life rather than trolling forums trying to get a cheap laugh.

Another way to "catch" the keep existing sim button is to use Firefox, click "View - Page Style - No Style" and the text page appears. The button doesn't disappear. Ctrl-F to search for "Keep" and job done. I'm sure other browsers may have this feature, but I have checked this in Firefox on a Mac and it works.
Not sure what you are looking at. It's clearly the 2nd Gen Moto E.

you can choose "keep existing sim" option without topup as well however it is a bit tricky to make that button to appear on their webpage (see comments/instructions on my other vodafone deals e.g. for Smart Ultra 6 etc.)

It might be worth copying and pasting it onto this thread.

the option without topup is still there- it is just hidden now (read comments how to avoid topup when buying online from Voda, please)

There is a link at the bottom of the page for "keep existing sim" which auto hides on the bundles page.(2nd page). I noticed it disappear, I then took it back a page reselected the phone, clicked "choose phone", it then jumped to the bundles page, I quickly selected "keep existing sim". I placed my order 15mins ago, no issues! Received my confirmation for my order. Thanks for posting deal!

Alternatively you can stay on the 'bundles' page and keep hitting F5 to refresh the page. You have to be quick to click the "Keep Existing SIM" button though, as it quickly hides itself again.
