Advice on HTC desire HD network unlock

[level1gaming 10]

I'm buying a HTC desire HD. It's currently locked to the vodafone network and i'm on O2. Is there anyway to unlock this phone or does anybody know who unlocks them?...If i wanted to obtain the code from the operator...what are my chances?...any help is greatly apppreciated.

If you know the person you're buying the phone from, ask them to call Vodafone and give them the unlock codes. I am on Vodafone and provided you have had the phone long enough, they will unlock it for you for free. I've done it with my last three phones.

When I unlocked my HTC Touch HD I used the HTCCode website (google it, I can't post links) and it worked fine, had it unlocked within as few hours as I recall. There is also a place at chapel walk in town that unlock phones, although I've never used it so don't know if it's any good.
