the permanent unlock is handled by apple and their big list of phone serial #'s
you ask voda to unlock it, assuming you meet their unlock criteria you pay them ~£30 and they ask apple to unlock the phone in itunes.
expect it to take a good few weeks and not to work first time around, i was going to have hatmissus's old iphone 4 but am still waiting 6 months later for the unlock to finalise. there's also some bullshit thing about needing an active sim on a supported network to do the unlock which as her old sim is dead means i need another unlocked phone with mini sim card that will let me activate my giffgaff sim so i can use it to finalise the unlock process or something.
in the end I gave up and got a htc one on contract. and haven't missed apple ios since. still <3 my mac's though.
