Default Phone unlocking.
I want to get my mobile unlocked (currently on vodafone) as I have a giff gaff Sim I want to use instead?

Any recommendations for getting it done as cheaply as possible, and preferably done on the same day (can't be without my phone!! )?

Theres loads of places that do it round here, just find a used phone shop and they will do it on the spot.

I dunno if cash converters do it or not. Is there anywhere near you that buys second hand phones and sells them...like they are usually tiny shops or market stalls...

Think there is one on the market, I'll nip over and see how much they would charge me.

Thanks Vicky.

it's pretty similar to 3, they seem to be a good network.

Got it done now, thanks for all help and suggestions esp Vicky. Cost a tenner as predicted. Happy days.

well you get 250 minutes, free giffgaff to giffgaff calls and unlimited internet for a tenner a month, plus calls to other networks are considerably cheaper, whereas atm I am with vodafone, don't get any free calls, and just 500MB internet access for topping up a tenner a month. So I think it's a good deal, seeing as I hammer the net on my phone
