"Does the phone need to have been used on Vodafone UK?

Yes, even if you've bought your phone secondhand. For Pay as you go, you'll need to have been using your PAYG SIM in the phone for 30 days. For Pay monthly you'll need to have paid three bills on time."

All Vodafone phones are locked.

To unlock it take a look at the 'How to unlock my phone' tile on the right of this page.
