Yes, I’m a Vodafone customer. Wanted to sell my old phone after an upgrade. I seem to remember reading somewhere that providers were obliged to unlock for you, but I don’t remember where and you fall into a grey area between Talk Talk and CPWH
Thanks Paul. Definitely a 'grey' area.
TalkTalk: 'not us guv, we don't lock phones - but you can use a 3rdP service for ££'
Apple: 'don't offer an unlocking service - shouldda bought from us'
Vodafone: 'who are you using our network? Don't recognise your IMEI..., we didn't lock your phone'
CPWH: 'we haven't locked anything, it's Apple software, a feature of iphones'. Should they have informed me though?
Phone was only bought in 2016. No doubt there are a host of people out there with iphones, who don't know that they are locked now, and many who can't easily do anything about it. Any good digestible info on the law re. this all?
