Unlocking a phone without buying a sim card

-pete-

I have an unlock code for a Smart Speed 6 which I intend to send to one of my relatives.  The instructions tell me to insert a non-vodafone sim card but I don't want to buy another pay-as-you-go card for another provider as this would only duplicate what my relative already has.

 

Is it possible to unlock the phone without the sim card or can I used an expired sim card from another network supplier.

Hi @-pete-

 

No. you need to use a non Vodafone SIM to complete the unlocking.

 

The solution is simple, use your relatives non Vodafone SIM card in the phone for unlocking the phone.
