Hi
It's my first post ---yikes !
Anyway , I recently bought a Nokia Lumia 925 32gb locked to Vodafone from eBay.
I have read a lot of posts on here regarding unlocking and to be honest I haven't really got a clear idea of which way to go about it.
I obviously am not the original owner of the phone so Vodafone say I can't do get the unlock code ---has anyone else managed to get one off Vodafone in any way who is not the original owner , if so how ?
Not sure if un-branding and flashing the phone using a generic product code ( as listed on this forum) will remove the sim lock.
If there is a product code for an un-branded 32gb , sim free phone does anyone know what it is and if so could you let me know.
Am I barking up the wrong tree by thinking flashing the phone will remove the sim lock to Vodafone ?
I phoned a local phone repair shop who have an unlocking service but say they can't do Lumia's yet as there are no codes.
The guy said they expect codes to be available in a few weeks.
Not sure what he meant---- has the 925 got to be cracked / not yet been cracked ?
I love the phone , just don't want to be tied to Vodafone.
Any answer to my queries , or guidance of the best way to go about getting the phone unlocked would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
