    Bought a UK Nokia N70 off ebay locked to vodafone.
    Tried my vodafone sim card here and it says sim card invalid.

    If i ring vodafone here will they unlock it or refuse because its a uk phone?
    What's the quickest way to get it unlocked?

    Thanks,
    Nick

    Vodafone IE will only unlock Irish phones, ring Vodafone UK, give them the IMEI number of your phone and say you are going abroad and require an unlock code; however they may only give it to the registered owner of the phone, in that case your best bet would be to sell it again on eBay and buy an unlocked one instead
