Nexus 5

SGGFC

Hi,
I am thinking about buying the Nexus 5 online on the google play store, i was just wondering if my vodafone sim card can go straight into the phone with no problems or will i have to get the phone unlocked once i buy it, please note that im buying it off the irish google play website.
Any ideas?

no issues phone is not locked to any carrier, what size sim do you have? you may need to cut your sim or get a new one free instore

Yep, not locked from Play Store, if sim card is too big you can take it into Carphone Warehouse where they have a kind of punch cutter thing they can do it in about 4 seconds, or you can trim it with a scissors yourself (careful now).

Does anyone know why it alters 350$ to 350 euro at checkout?

Because you are buying in Ireland, you pay Irish VAT and it costs €350

Thanks. Thought that, taking in the conversion etc the exact same figure in euro just seemed coincidental (an easy, round figure). We do see in Ireland, the grossly inaccurate conversion rates on items of clothing from British franchises so this immediate wariness jumped out at me.

Previously when I was interested in buying one of these there were a few hoops to jump through to acquire one(use of parcel motel, issues with Google account). Seems straightforward enough now.

€350 is better than the £300 sterling in the UK Play store they pay over there if you had to use Parcel Motel so not so bad

If you are passing through dublin airport terminal 1 anytime soon dixons has nexus 5 for €326. Make sure you get it in terminal 1 not 2. It's €368 in t2 for some strange reason

Save a few quid through Parcel Motel but is it worth the risk/hassle?
