Thanks H.
I appreciate that it has been a long time.
If I understand correctly, your phone was locked to Vodafone Germany from the very start. Then, some time later you registered your phone on a website, and this action alone freed your phone.
One question : whose website did you register your phone on ?
eg. Phone maker ? Phone seller ? Provider of the SIM card ? other ?

It was the service providers' website, vodafone. They had the option to remove the carrier lock for free because the phone was older than 4 years or so.
Thanks H.
So, it was vodafone's website that you put your data into, to immediately free your more than 4 year old phone.
Am I correct in understanding that vodafone was both the phone seller and the SIM card provider ?
What data did you put into the website please ?
