    i read another thread here about vodafone the night of the firsworks and point one is i am a pay customer and i couldnt send txt messages.

    point 2 is i ahve 2 086 mobile phones here but they are stuck on 086, how can i change them to 087?

    or does anyone have 2 086 sims they wish to swap? they are sim cards for my childrens fons but im not going to the cost of buying 086 sims, as the 087 sims ahve a substantial amount of UNUSED credit on them as the kids surprisingly enough dont use the credit intime.

    why cant voda remove this limit?
    both sims are now unusable as the time has run out, if anyone can help they could email me privatly if they dont want to discuss it on here

    emial me at, tushpusher@iol.ie

    ;)

    or just get a data cable for your phone, some nice unlockig software, and do it yourself....

    set the phone 2 automatic detect network. well data cables are expensive (by the time they get to ireland) is it possible to generate a unlock code if u have ur IMIE number it should be possible insted of using a data cable.

    If you can find out how to enter ut in on your phone, you can ring up and get the NCK code to unlock from skodafone, I think you have to spend over €125 though
    *I THINK*
