SIM Permanently Locked On Vodafone Smart Speed 6

[Ajajohns]

 

I recently decided to start using my Vodafone Smart Speed 6 however I am currently stuck on a SIM contract with EE so I needed my phone unlocked. I Went to the Vodafone website and I received the NUC Code however when I inserted it into my phone and went to unlock the SIM the message ‘this slot is permanently locked’ appeared. I am unable to enter the NUC code and use the phone. My SIM card works fine in my old iPhone so it can’t be a problem with the SIM. I also tried an old O2 sim with the same result.

If anyone would help with this I would be very grateful.
