I bought a 3GS of eBay, Vodafone will only unlock it for the original person who bought the phone, I'd be using it on Vodafone ok but having moved house I need to change carrier as have no signal. Any ideas guys?
 
Get it done on eBay for £20
I've done a few with no problems and only takes 24 hours.

Make sure user has good feedback
Search eBay for Vodafone iPhone unlock.
 
I would go with the asking the owner to get it unlocked. I would even pay the small fee involved to do so.
 
If you put the iPhone on a Vodaphone pay monthly plan you could then request the unlock as well

Would he be able to do it straight away? I think here in Ireland you have to be on a pay monthly plan for 6 months then they'll unlock it for you.
