That's called "netlock", because the phone is not tied to the SIM (that would be a simlock) but to the network.

Not quite - in this case, Vodafone sometimes distinguishes between prepaid and postpaid for purposes of network locking. My main SIM is prepaid, but it used to be on a postpaid account, and generally does not work in locked Vodafone prepaid phones.

You are right, of course; although the term "simlock" is often used, there is a difference, and usually what one encounters is a network lock. The prepaid/postpaid distinction is one of these.
