Hey ya'll!

Can anyone advise me how hard it is to get a Samsung flipfone, that used to be locked into the Telecom/Spark network, reprogrammed so that it will work on the Vodafone network?

I need to upgrade my mums phone to one of my old ones so that she has a battery life longer than 8 hours! (Thats without using it as well!)

Cheers!

It may not be possible. It would need to support the Vodafone operating frequency.

What is the model?

It may be easier to go down to Vodafone and buy a new handset for ~$50
