so what i dont understand is i am stuck with a phone wich dosent unlock second hand phones that are sold how are you meant to unlock them i have just spent £36 on this phone to unlock but the imei is still showing locked atleast vodaphone should let me know where the problems is so i can sort it out and if vodaphone want proof of receipt i am happy to get it for them surely someone must know what is going on why cant vodaphone be more helpful they did refund me the unlocking fee but i have just used more money to unlock but it still showing sim not valid i dont think this is fair on me

Who did you spend £36 with to have the phone unlocked? The only time a phone will be officially unlocked it when it is done at the request of the network and Vodafone do not charge £36 to unlock a phone.
Also why are Apple asking you to unlock and IMEI of a phone that does not belong to you? If the IMEI does not appear on their detabase they cannot unlock it, same as if the IMEI is on their database then it is the person on whose account the IMEI appears that must request the unlock.
