O/T Unlocking a mobile?

I'm changing my SIM card from Vodafone PAYG to BT Mobile but Vodafone want £20 for them to supply a NUC number.

Has anybody used an independent high street phone supplier to get their mobile unlocked as I understand that their charges are considerably cheaper?

Did that but they said that they are entitled to do as other suppliers do.

They are aware of my disgust.... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Mrs Sak recently changed from Vodafone contract to BT contract and took her number with her FOC. Maybe the issue from Vodafone is yours being PAYG.
