Nope sorry. They used to network lock 3210s too. Well they did when I was working with O2 anyway. But even still, once manual net selection is displayed, surely it should be finding Voda?
Lemme see. Have you tried selecting Eircell? They USED to be 087 didnt they?

Just select Eircell and hey presto it should work

Some old phones cannot display Vodafone, O2 and whatever - they are set up to display the old network names.

Or just ring o2 and get them to give u the unlock over hte phone. Such an old phone should already be on their system with ages.
Though I really dont think it is locked. Normally if it is sim or network locked, a message indicating same will pop straight up and you will get no further.

If the phone was locked, you wouldn't be able to get any further than the startup.
Eircell is the old name for Vodafone, so there's no problem selecting that one.
