Help How do I network unlock?

Hello, I have been in contact with Vodafone to receive the sim unlock code for the Galaxy S. I am turning it over to my mum as I recently upgraded to GalaxyS2.

VF have emailed a code for the phone but it is saying "Unsuccessful".

I have rooted the phone (unrooted now) and tried both GalaxyS Sim Unlock and GalaxyS2 Sim Unlock. Neither worked.

SGS was on XWJVZ rooted.

This is the email they have sent us:

Unlock Procedure:
1. Remove SIM card from the handset and turn phone back on
2. Switch the phone off and then on again with no SIM in the handset and then enter the following: #7465625*638*08596179#
3. The handset should now be unlocked
4. When entering a non VF SIM, if the handset displays a message asking for a password enter the 08596179

If any more information is required I can provide and thank you for this community.
 
You'll most likely have to flash the phone with the proper official VodaFone firmware for the code to be recognised. The latest firmware for Vodafone in the UK was JV9 I believe.

Ray.
