    I just bought this prepay phone on the emobile website. It was sold out on the Vodafone website.
    I think I could have made a bit of a mistake.
    I was thinking that this phone would be unlocked and that I could use vodafone prepay credit on it. Am I wrong? Can I only use emobile credit? And is this a good service or not?

    Thanks

    Also the elderly person would have an eircom landline. Could calls from the landline be automatically redirected. Would be v handy if it was easy to do.

    I have had to ask 3 times now. Over on the Vodafone forum queries are dealt with promptly.

    I got this Doro phone for an elderly relative. It's PAYG. Is there any free credit on the phone? How can I top up with credit? Who does the network piggback off?
    How much credit will I have to put on this phone before I can unlock it and go to another network?

    Thank you

    Register online and you'll be entitled to registration credit. (assuming you got a sim with it?) Schedule your top up too and you'll be able to get extra credit. (i.e. Set it up to come out of the bank every 30 days)

    You ask for emobile credit in the shop. Or top up online. It runs off Meteors coverage.

    Usually €127 has to be spent to be able to get an unlocking code.

    I believe Meteor are poor in rural areas.
    I think I am caught now anyway.

    My relative just wants to top up whenever he needs. He doesn't want direct debit set up.

    Do you have to sign up to a Prepay plan or can you just top up with a certain amount and not have to use it within a month. What calls package would you get?

    Thanks

    Hi Tigerandahalf
    Yes you should have had a reply earlier. I am afraid I missed your post, my apologies.we would normally reply within working hours and by next working day at least. Craigsmith_IO's post is correct and i am looking into this second request for you. I have seen your post to other thread also. Would yo ube able to PM me the relevant landline and mobile telephone numbers?
    Tony
