iPod remote! And new phone!

[LCGuy]

So today mum and I went to the local markets, where we split up and did our own thing. I went to a stall where they had an iPod remote with earbuds for $3. Needless to say, I snapped it up, since my knockoff one broke, and they don't make them anymore. Its a genuine Apple one and all. I threw out the earbuds that came with it, and tried it, everything works. Not bad for 3 bucks

Oh, and yesterday I bought a brand new phone, LG KP202, for $69. Its a decent phone, has a camera and intarweb access (GPRS), not that i'll be doing that too often though...its a bit like using the net on a stock Colour Classic with dialup and an even smaller display Good phone though

The only thing is, and here's my question: Its locked to Vodafone, which isn't really a bad thing, since I mostly use Vodafone, and I'm very happy with them, but I also have a Telstra SIM, which I use in areas where there is no Vodafone coverage, but Telstra coverage, such as our beach house. Does anyone know where I can get an unlock code for this baby?

Maybe this will help?

I've never unlocked a phone, so I don't know

Thanks, but I saw that when I was doing a google search. All that code does is bring up a diagnostics menu kind of like the one on iPods that allows you to run some tests and do a master reset on the phone. I tried resetting the phone, but no go.

If it's firmware locked to Vodafone it may need to be cracked, most smaller mobile dealers will do this for fairly cheap. Even managed to have mine torn away kicking and screaming from the 3 network for $40. Well worth it.
