Iphone 4s locked to vodaphone unlocking?

I have just bought an iphone 4s off my housemate as he now has the 5. He used vodaphone as his network provider. He cancelled his contract. I want to stay with Orange and so I need it unlocked. Is this a simple procedure? Orange said I could always get it done at a street shop, but I have heard that this would only ever be temporary. What's the best way please?

Get your housemate to ask Vodafone to unlock it.
They will probably charge, but you can reimburse your housemate

  • How to unlock iPhone 3GS from Vodaphone? Just bought an iPhone 3GS from eBay, saying it was unlocked, however when I put my Virgin SIM card in and connect it to iTunes, it says that the carrier isn't supported - in other words it isn't unlocked! Any ideas how to unlock it so that it works with virgin? Preferably a legal method or at least one that is completely safe and risk free (and doesn't cost over £20!). I'm guessing it was locked to Vodaphone because it came with a Vodaphone SIM card in.
