Experiencing Difficulties Unlocking Your Handset?
When raising a difficulty on the Vodafone Australia unlocking website - www.vodafone.com.au/unlock or the Three Australia unlocking website – www.three.com.au/unlocking we require the following information to speed the resolution of any issue that you may be experiencing:

FAQ:
Question: My phone asks to enter a PIN number
Answer: For SIM cards with PIN ENABLED you will be required to enter a PIN. This is not the unlocking code that has just been provided. For information concerning the PIN, PIN2, PUK and PUK2 codes for a SIM card please read the manual that came with your phone. This is not a handset unlocking difficulty.
Question: My handset displays a different message then what is shown in this procedure when I insert the relevant SIM card.
Answer: The most common message the phone will display is "Insert correct SIM Card". Because each handset may have a different variation in software there is no common message. If your handset displays a different message it is recommended to move onto the next step.
Note: Faulty SIM Cards - The handset may also display messages indicating the SIM you are using to unlock the handset is faulty, it could display "Insert SIM" "Bad Card", "Card Error" or "Card Rejected", confirm the SIM card is inserted correctly – Gold area downwards and the cut of the corner matches correctly. We regret; Vodafone/Three cannot assist with other network's faulty SIMs.
Question: The unlocking procedure refers to a left (<). But I cannot find it?
Answer: The phone has no (<) key. This refers to pushing the navigation button left
Question: I am not currently in Australia and experiencing difficulties unlocking the phone that I purchased from a Vodafone and Three Australia outlet
Answer: Please contact HandsetUnlocking.Difficulties@vodafone.com.au with your name, device make and model, IMEI and details of the issue. Alternatively, you can contact Vodafone Customer Care on +614 1414 1414.
