Advice on unlocking a phone

    Hey,

    I want to buy a Vodafone pay-as-you-go phone and unlock it straight away so that I can use it with my Meteor sim card.

    Can you recommend the best way/place to get it unlocked? I found a website that claims to unlock any phone for €3.99. I forget the name of it now. Can such sites be trusted?

    Thanks!

    Dun Laoghaire Shpping Centre- 20€. Why didn't you just buy a Meteor phone?

    Presume the phone he wants isn't on Meteor hence the reason buying it from Vodafone.

    The reason I'm buying the phone on Vodafone is because I need a cheap replacement phone while my phone is off being repaired, and I can get one on Vodafone PAYG for €20.

    Cheers. I can get a much better phone for €20 on Vodafone PAYG though. Thanks though!

    Take your pick of 4 sim free phones from here for €33 or less. No need to get the phone unlocked.
