in an eir store, you can get a sim card as long as you buy 5e eir credit.

Does anyone know if there are any offers on the ports with vodafone or any other network for the samsung j5 2017

Vodafone have the J5 in their switch and save promo. €229, down to €189 with promo.

I guess I'll go for an Eir sim, or I'll get another 3 sim with 10 credit, and just spend the credit on something in the Play Store before porting to Vodafone.

let us know if the DC unlock works, cheers

"Unlocking, please wait ...

Phone successfully unlocked !

Credits left : 0

Please unplug and restart phone !"

wont know until i get new nano sim in post but looks promising!

one caveat to this is that when the program found the phone it didnt say that it was locked.(no sim in phone)

How much to unlock?

Get a Tesco mobile sim, less than a fiver. Can't remember the cost. Free ones online.

So does anyone know a physical shop I can walk into to get a free SIM and then switch to Vodafone? I know some can be ordered online.

Tesco

Maybe 3 or Eir..
Can't be sure of either though to be honest.
Just can't see why they wouldn't want to sell one to you...

No they will have to ring the number to identify that you own it before the port goes through

need to request nano sim from 48

It might be handier to cut the old sim down to nano size. There are plenty of tutorials on youtube for anyone who's feeling confident enough to have a go at it.

micro sim contact is larger than the whole nano area,essentially cutting the metal part to fit the nano,wont work.

Perhaps you are entirely correct, on the other hand there seems to be many people who say that it can be done.

Of course it will.....Worked fine for me on 2 different sims. Just need to use a template to make sure you are cutting it properly.

I asked yesterday in carphone warehouse on Henry st Dublin 1 and they point blank said the 89 euro deal was over.

castle2012

Just had a look on amazon there £158. which is about €175 , so still very good value @ €109

In shop only?As i was trying to switch last night and online sim only is €5.

This deal still on?

kala85

Anyone know of a website where we could get an unlock code from ebay without having to use the DC unlocker as it looks a bit complicated.

I just want a link where I send off the imei code and get the unlock code back.

Still on
Got one from blanch
They wanted 10e top up but I took 20e topup as I am on Vodafone prepay anyway

Jurgen Klopp

Picked one up with vodafone for €110 using an eir Sim still great value I I

Anyone unlocked it yet?

I'm looking to the DC Unlock but not sure how many credits to purchase

A Law

4 credits so 4€

Jurgen Klopp

I came from a Oneplus 3 which was almost instant app opening etc for everyday tasks

I'm serious, after plying with this P8 for the last couple hours for day to day stuff bar games maybe this thing is just as nippy not even joking it's amazing

GaGa21

Down to 179.99 in Argos, sim free....not as cheap as other offers here but might be handier for some as it's sim free.

kala85

Is dc unlock hard to use.

Picky owner

Pulled the trigger ,109 on Vodafone ,ported over with a spare Tesco SIM card, hopefully won't be too hard to unlock, couldn't pass it up at that price.

Picky owner

Just an update,was able to unlock it myself on line last night,am delighted with it,spent 124 on it between the phone and codes,retailing in Argos SIM free for 174,that's a good bargain!

fmul9798

Last time I tried when it was Meteor, they wanted to charge me...
I popped on my phone and ordered a free sim for delivery, received it next day...

jean contente

I've a couple of questions that somebody technically proficient may be able to answer.I am with Vodafone payg and am not concerned about keeping my existing number.Is it possible to avail of this offer?If so how do I go about it?
Thanks.

loki7777

Get spare sim card and switch over to vodafone

Thanks loki.
Just to be clear.If I go into (say Tesco) and buy a sim card.All that I need to do is bring that into CP Warehouse and say I want to switch to Vodafone.There is no need to do anything else.

loki7777

I think you will have to put tesco(or any other) sim card into your phone to activate it(and i assume you will get txt from Vodafone as well, but somebody may say something more as they already did that) - didn't try yet as i'm waiting for sim card from eir.
BTW tesco charges €5 for sim, eir sim is for free(order online);)
