Motorola EM325 stuck with vodafone. Subsidy code needed!!!?

Hello,
I really need help. My 12 year son needs a mobile phone as he walks alone to and from school. My husband got a spare sim from his service provider, but the old phone I have is locked to vodafone and they want $25 for the subsidy code. I think this is really unfair as I bought the phone flat (no plan) out a couple of years ago. Vodafone Australia really likes to suck money out of you any which way they can. I also don't have the money to get it done as I am in between jobs.
Anyways could someone please help? You all sound so smart with these phones and I hope you can help me.
Here is the details of the phone:
Motorola EM325
IMEI: 352487-02-027052-9-29
Network that it was stuck with is Vodafone Australia.
Thank you for your time and any help is very much appreciated.
Cheers Martha
