Author Unlocking w200i Vodafone

HI My son rec'd a new W200i for Xmas and was gutted to find that it was
locked to Vodafone and he can't use his Tesco sim card in it.
I've had a quick Google and there seem to be a few people claiming to
unlock for £20+ unfortunately he's a kid and doesn't have £20 to spare
and I can't help out with all the Xmas bills to pay.
Is there a cheaper or free option? I can understand a network locking a
subsidised contract phone but can they really get away with locking a
PAYG phone that has been bought outright?
Any help appreciated, happy Christmas :)

If anyone in your family is on vodafone get them to ring vodafone and
ask for the unlock code. If they ask how long you've owned the phone
for say over a year and they'll do it free. You'll just need to
supply them with the IMEI.
