I was looking at buying this phone, but I noticed that it's in the vodafone category for phones.
I also noticed this phone as well. But it's in the 2degrees section.

They both appear to be the i9505 model, however the one in the vodafone section is cheaper.
Anyone got any idea if the vodafone one would work on 2degrees?

Voda and 2D use the same frequencies, so it should be fine unless it's locked to Vodafone. Usually only cheap phones are.

Alright here's hoping. I doubt it would be locked, but even if it is, I'm sure there would be a way to unlock it through the software.

It isn't locked. If it was you'd have to pay $30 to unlock it as the standard rate.
The only difference is the software, the telcos customise it slightly

I was planning on installing cyanogen or stock lollipop anyway. Don't need any bloatware :p
