I'm specifically looking at this one. I will be using a spare SIM card to port over (to get discount) and hopefully pop in my proper SIM card from Lyca.....but are these phones generally unlocked when you buy from Vodafone

I bought a Xiaomi as a back up phone while waiting for a repair. It was locked to VF
