iPhone from Apple store is locked to Vodafone Australia
I have a plan with Vodafone Australia. My original iPhone had water damage and Apple replaced it in the Apple Store for $250 with a brand new one. I though I got a unlocked phone (I got it from the shelve) , but I think it is still locked to Vodafone network. Non-vodafone sims don't work and its Carrier is "voda AU 7.0" in Settings/General/About
I tried to unlock it online (I'm traveling overseas) but my IMEI is not registered by Vodafone.
I contacted Vodafone and they said they only lock phones which they sell by themselves.
I suspect that somehow it was locked to Vodafone during the registration/Restore.
Any idea how could I make it work with other sim cards?
