Could you try moving your SIM to the other slot?

TheDriver

I tried my eir sim in slot 1 and said network locked. Tried it in slot 2 with slot 1 empty, same. I didn't try after unlocking.

Edit I tried it there with my own eir sim and the now redundant eir sim used for porting in slot 2. Got no network lock message.obviousky sim 2 said not provisioned as it's dead.

So both the SIM slots work now as unlocked or you do not have a SIM to try testing ?

Why not just port to Vodafone ?

Because I have the eir simplicity deal which gives unlimited calls, texts and 80Gb 4G data for 20 a month.

I only had my defunct eir sim and my working eir sim to try the network lock but the defunct eir sim gave the network lock message before I unlocked and didn't after unlock so I assume that even though it doesn't register on network, the phone recognises that it is a different network. So assume both SIMs are now unlocked.

I was also wondering about it. I'm looking for an answer for this too. Please someone clarify on this.

Putting a sim in doesn't lock them! If they're locked, they're factory locked. If they're unlocked, they're factory unlocked.

This misconception is due to an alleged practice in the UK by Carphone Warehouse, Curry’s and PC World where the phones would apparently lock themselves to the network of the first SIM card inserted. I don’t know if this is entirely true as I’ve never purchased a phone from the UK. Meteor/Eircom would spew this line though when unlocking phones for people. It was just nonsense from reps that were uneducated on the subject or misinformed.

I picked up my brother in law a phone with one of these vouchers around two years ago. It was unlocked

Hi Guys,
This is an brilliant offer/Bargain alert, if there are any spare vouchers going, I would gratefully appreciate one, I am a PAYG Vodafone user, not sure how to obtain a voucher or if i would be entitled to one.

Kind regards,
Zahid

No, It is a port from another network to Vodafone to get it.

Zai

Ah Thanks Jeff, explains it.

brightkane

for the avoidance of doubt.

I got the A20e - It was locked to Voda

I got an unlock code from ebay for €11.99 and it unlocked the phone.

I tried a 3 sim in both sims and it works using alternate sim slots.

As a bit of a side topic, anybody know the best plan to sign up for? Husband switched today, he wanted to get the X but he's very obviously over 25 and not a student

Picked up a20e, it is locked and I had to put the 20 onto the vodafone SIM which is going in the bin. It is dual SIM.
Having said that, 100 quid for a a20e unlocked is good.

I had to buy €10 on eir to port over, happy to do a partial trade if you’re interested.

Change his DoB on Facebook and verify age online that way 😉

No need, it's not just for students anymore.

so to switch to vodafone x from another provider you need to buy the minimum credit(€10?) and after vodafone X has been enabled then add €20 in one go? Which leaves you with the original credit you added just to switch?

Also do these phones qualify for the €1 accessories special offer

My eir had nothing on it. I registered it and used web text to send a text.

Did he try to text the keyword for the specific X plan as described here...

https://n.vodafone.ie/shop/pay-as-you-go-plans/vodafone-x.html

Eg for X weekend text WEEKEND to 50222 and then top up by 20 (don't top up before opt in).

Not yet but that's what he'll be doing today! Thanks to all who replied, hopefully other people will find it useful too

Vodafone N10 came unlocked.

Crappy screen, poor camera - but just perfect to keep kids entertained in the plane. If buying one for regular use, put the $ and get the A20e.

The a20e is a nice phone. Looks good, camera is as expected and screen is lovely. Fast charging is a gift, 20% to 100% in an hour.

caycro

Have all the a20e’s been locked to Vodafone?

Pacifico

Probably been asked before but if they make you top up by €20 instore, can you still opt-in to a vodafone x plan for example after? Or would you have to top up by €20 again to get the deal?

If they want to put the credit on the phone in store, tell them to put you on which ever plan you choose.
I wasn't asked to buy credit, got the phone for 69 euro.

Hubby had to put the credit on there and they wouldn't put him on the X deal so he went the next day text weekend to whatever number then had to top up by 20 again. I'd say it depends on which shop and who's working. This was in Letterkenny

Tuam.
I went in after 16:00 on Saturday. Apparently it was too late to Port over my number. But the guy took the voucher, rang my number, scanned the phone into the system but wouldn't give me the phone until the port went through on Monday. He did give me the SIM card. When I went back on Monday I was dealing with a different person, she may have assumed the other guy took the 20 euro on Saturday when he gave me the SIM card.
Or she just made an error.

I have a tesco mobile sim, but I don't have a phone to pop it into. Does anyone know if Vodafone can check the number somehow, would they have unlocked phones to use?

Some Vodafone stores require you to call to their phone to prove your transferring number, instead of them calling your number.

When I enquired about it with the Vodafone Rep, here in Boards, I was told that the Vodafone franchise stores can form their own policies around the promotion and cannot be controlled by Vodafone company. I was also told that in the Vodafone self-managed stores, the staff member can be instructed to call to your transferring number without asking you to call their phone.

dulpit

Whenever I have switched phones in the past they have always called or texted me. When I went to Vodafone store to avail of this offer I had a sim (tesco) but no phone. There was no credit on the phone, so they popped the sim into a store unlocked phone and rang it from their main phone, once they saw it rang and connected they did the rest easy peasy.

The store in question is a franchise though, so maybe that had an impact?

Roberto_gas

And was also told that old sim must be recharged within last 4 months..

Wouldn't mind getting my hands on a voucher if anybody has one going wanting
