Sharp

Have a read here about a third down the page

drdre

this is ancient:D , anyway it is a good story as you get any phone worth up to 199 euro for free from the speakeasy range.

Anyone want to give me one

Bit of a thread resurrection this but I just spent half an hour in the attic and found my old X1 and charger. Woohoo! Actually came to the mobile section to check out what might be a suitable new phone for me to replace my Fubar motorola V180. (ie in the same price range) Glad I found this old thread.

tbh my reading of the recall notice on the O2 site is that someone who still uses the phone gets a €199 replacement and people who no longer use the phone probably get a cheaper replacement. Still. A free phone!! :D

Well, just got back from the Bray 02 shop and...........got myself a RazR V3!! So I can confirm that although this recall notice may be ancient, its still valid and I can also confirm that my suspicions that owners who haven't used the phone in years may only get a cheaper replacement is definately not the case. My broken X1 has been in the attic for over 2 years IIRC and I still got a €199 replacement. Well I added €30 to it to get the €229 Razr V3......but then again, I still get the €90 free credit! So I have a lovely new free phone and am still €60 in the black

Fair play O2!

And many thanks to the original OP for not using search and reposting a thread about an ancient recall!!

I wonder. Did you get a refund on an X1 without charger ciaranfo? Its just that the recall is actually about the charger itself, ie there is a very slim change it would catch fire.

Regardless, its most certainly worth a try smemon! Free €199 phone! Woohoo!

yeah thats what i was thinking, my sister brought back hers a month ago with the charger and got €200 off.

anyways, i noticed a few x1 chargers for sale on the net even still, so if the worst comes to the worst i'll buy one for maybe €20 delivered

@smemon - I've seen it done many times. As for the theory of just bringing in a charger ... no chance .. it's not gonna catch fire on it's own!

I think he means that he will buy an x1 charger for €20 on the net and bring that in with his chargerless X1 phone that he already has. Obviously he only needs to do this if they didn't give the 200 euro replacement for X1's without chargers. ie He forks out for a charger but he in effect gets 200 back from O2.

Rereading it now for a 43rd time it makes sense
