phone vodafone, they have a policy IF YOUR PHONE IS OVER 1 YEAR OLD THEY WILL GIVE YOU UNLOCK CODE FOR FREE (must be locked to vodafone) im assuming your on them, i did this the other week YOU MUST SAY YOU BEEN TOLD THAT YOU WOULD GET IT FOR FREE! do NOT use other ways to unlock (certificate change) as this can seriously cause problems further down the line and DOES NOT WORK with rooted phones (I've tried it). IF your not with vodafone then phone your network provider, usually costs between £5 - £20 (my X8 cost me £15 to unlock on 3 and took 1week and a bit maybe 2weeks to get the code on 3) with voda you will usually get the code instantly hope this helps
