    Hi 2Silverspoons ,

    It completely depends, did you purchase the phone from ourselves? If so its more than likely locked to Eir and you will need to contact our support team to have it unlocked.

    Thanks

    Look up eBay for unlock codes, they can be gotten in 10 minutes and depending on the phone can cost as little €2.50.
    If you can get it cheap on eBay it's much quicker and a lot less hassle than off the phone providers.

    Hi ,

    You will need to contact Vodafone in order to have the handset unlocked before switching to Eir.

    Thanks

    Hi Thomas, my phone is with Tesco. So I'll need to contact them to get it unlocked as I'm changing over to Eir :-) Thank you for your reply.
