Friend has a New Zealand iPhone that was on a Vodafone NZ contract that they want to use over here for a while. They have stuck a Vodafone PAYG SIM in and it can receive txt but not send them and cannot call from. I assume the handset is locked to the original contract or something like that.

Is there an esy, and preferably free, way of getting it working?

No charge if they bought it more than 9 months ago:
