Hi guys,

I bought a locked Vodafone phone by accident from Noel Leeming, there was nothing in the store indicating it is locked nor on the website here: http://goo.gl/Z4MMHx - if you have known me long enough you'll know this wouldn't be a PEBCAC.

The phone is a Nokia Lumia 530 - for my mother since her HTC 8S has died. I'm sure a rep from VF can simply send me the unlock code for it once I provide them with the IMEI however the thing I really would like to know (since I can't find any information on it) is if the phone will work on Spark, reason being a corporate Spark sim will be going into it. The Nokia model number is RM-1018.

More just want to know this then I'll just a VF rep to fetch me the unlock code - pretty stink it was locked when it shouldn't have otherwise I think I'll need to return it to Noels and grab the next one up direct from Spark, more just wanting to save money as my mother won't use half the things on it.

BTW - Vodafone's "unlock" website states that an unlock fee of $30 will apply to unlock this phone.

Cheers.
