Unlock Vodafone sendo x by sendosmartphones to allow expansys firmware?

I want to unlock my Vodafone Sendo X so that I can upgrade it to the Expansys firmware - does the unlock allow me to do this?

I would like to use the unlock from the sendosmartphones site.

I emailed the site asking this question about 2 weeks ago but got no response.

You should have received a reply from us - I personally remember the question coming in...

The unlock codes we offer unlock the X from a particular network so that it can use any other network's SIM cards, they are nothing to do with the firmware.

The latest (1.198.8.2) firmwares are all [what Sendo would call] SPN unlocked, which means that ANY firmware will load onto ANY handset, regardless of which network / country that handset was originally sold into.

Therefore, you can load the Expansys firmware onto your phone now without needing any unlock codes - you only need to unlock the handset if you wish to use a different operator's SIM card in your phone.
