Unlocking your device from the Vodafone network

Answer



Vodafone can only unlock devices purchased from a Vodafone outlet in Australia.

If you experience any issues once the Handset Unlock instruction page is presented, please click on the grey 'Difficulties' button to submit your issue for resolution by the Unlock team.
