How does this phone compare to a Samsung galaxy s7 ? Was going To order this for my son

grandstream

I'm looking to buy this phone for the Missus as the LCD in her Mi 9 Pro, bought from Eglobal in November 2019, is broken and new screen is €200 (if you can find one). Having trouble with two old sims I have for this deal, I can't remember the unlock code for the Lycamobile sim and the Three one (which was still in the pack) just won't work. Three are looking for €20 for a new sim. Anyone any ideas?

Where is the cheapest place to get a sim to v do the port

I posted this earlier:

I was unlocked immediately by logging into My Vodafone. This is their criteria:

Bill pay customers:

Your Vodafone account must be paid up to date
You need to be connected to bill pay for at least 12 months or have spent €200 on your account

Pay as you go customers:

Must have topped up by at least €127 in the last 12 months for your first unlock code
Must have topped up by at least €254 in the last 12 months for your second unlock code
Must have topped up by at least €381 in the last 12 months for your third unlock code

If you know someone with an account that meets the criteria, get them to log in to my Vodafone. Then you need to hover over the My Vodafone tab at the top > Device and SIM > Unlock my phone. You probably need to use the desktop site rather than mobile, but the URL you need is:

https://n.vodafone.ie/myaccount/subscriptions/nac.html

Enter the IMEI of the phone and you'll get the unlock code immediately.

If you know somebody who is already with Vodafone, chances are they will be able to get you an unlock code for free, which should work immediately.

I tried that and the person got rejected by Vodafone who said the phone wasn't linked to their account.

They have to be using the phone that's requested for unlocking for 2 or 3 days and have made calls and texts on it.

I was told this by VF on twitter after requesting an unlock code for my new iPhone ( I had only gotten an unlock code off them a week previous for another phone, so asked them about the girlfriends account being eligible for unlocking it) After a bit of back and forth it turns out I was eligible for the 2nd code anyway so happy days.

Not true. I unlocked the phone as soon as I got it using a relative's account when the SIM had never been topped up.

I'm just talking from my experience, less than 2 weeks ago. I'm glad that worked for you. Be much easier that way.

Lazy & cheapskate question....

When does the €100 off "Switch & save" for the Huawei P30 lite end?
i.e. €129 total!

sector_000

Lazy & cheapskate question.... part 2

If I get a new 48month sim with a brand new number, activate that, can I simply use that to get the Huawei P30 lite for €229 - €100 for selecting the "Keep my number"?

Then once I get the phone... can I give it my son who's already on Vodafone?

While the phone is locked to Vodafone, is it somehow locked to the particular PAYG plan u select?

Yes you can avail of the discount by porting the sim and give the phone to your son on VF already. No, you are not locked into any PAYG Plan with them

Go with eir

I ordered 48 and eir. The order cancelled with the 48 SIM for porting reasons.

The eir one worked fine

Same here...48 was cancelled then worked with eir

kala85

How long does it take for the eir sim to be delivered.
Do I need to put any credit on the eir sim to allow it to be ported?

I think mine took 4 days including the weekend. No need for any top-up

You just need to be able to put the SIM into a phone to receive a text message when signing up to Vodafone

Can someone post a link to the €23 unlock service. Cheapest I can seem to find on eBay is €40

I ordered the phone online on 28th May and it arrived today. (switching from eir Sim). There was no sign of the watch though. Did anyone successfully follow up and get the watch?

Offer finished at the end of May. Looks like your watch might have dispatched early June. I'd give them a call and see where you stand.

QFA17

My phone arrived today without the watch.
Texted Vodafone on Facebook and got a reply saying

"Hey,

Would you please tell me how did you come upon this offer? I checked our Huawei offers and can see that they are only applicable on the Huawei P40 Pro and the Huawei P30 Pro, not the lite one!

More details through the below link:

It wouldn't be the first time Vodafone advertised something on their website that wasn't available in reality. Kudos to the poster with the screenshot.

Issue for them would be to source the band separately...these were bundles sold by Huawei themselves so best bet is to get refund of 40-50 euros from Voda for the band or return the phone and get refund.

Daughter 13 y o is looking for this phone. Is it worth waiting to see if it goes on offer again. It is €229now.

I asked them for a refund for the watch and got a reply saying

"Good morning!
Unfortunately it wouldn't be applicable for this to go through. I've consulted with a member of the Pay-as-you-go team to look into this, the purchase date of the phone that reflects on the system would be the only way allowing you to claim the watch, it wouldn't be possible for us to arrange for this if the purchase date is out of the time-frame. Sorry about this again

Thanks, "

How thick are Vodafone to figure out my order was placed before 31st of May.
