I am a complete novice about mobile phones & am thinking on joining Vodafone.
What is a sim free phone & the advantages/ disadvantages over a sim phone?

If you buy it from a vodafone shop it'l be locked to vodafone. But if you go into carphone warehouse and buy it on vodafone it'l be unlocked as they use ulocked phones

A lot of phones on Vodafone and Orange are packaged separately. at the Carphone Warehouse and are therefore locked to the respective network.

My gf bought a 7373 from there on vodafone and it was unlocked and ive bought phones from there on orange before and they were unlocked. Maybe I havent kept up with any changes.
