Ya just a mi band 6 watch supposed to free too

I briefly considered contacting them, but do ya know what, I'd never use it, I prefer a good automatic watch. I'm happy with the 128gb version so I think I'll leave well enough alone.

I ordered the Redmi Note 10 on Thursday and have just received it today.

No sign of the Smart Band with it.

Contacted Vodafone, at first they didn't know anything about the offer. Sent me T&C's for it. Then they went to look for a link to claim for it (I think Vodafone UK are running a similar offer and you have to claim for it after you purchase the phone and have it sent separately after you provide proof of purchase within the promotional period) now they're saying it's out of stock

The offer only went live on Thursday and I ordered the same day. According to T&C's there were 200 in stock.

I'm finding it hard to believe that all 200 sold out on Thursday, the day the offer launched.

I don't believe them as they seemed very unsure and uncertain of the offer so I think saying "they're out of stock" is a handy way out for them.

Has anyone here received the Mi Band, and if so, what day did you order?

SmartinMartin

I contacted them on chat about the watch, and was told that I'll get a link sent to my new number 2 weeks after ordering.

Qwerty?

I bought one on Friday, and just logged in to check the order stage and they cancelled it. No email or contact😀. Was supposed to be a birthday present for Thursday.

What network were you porting from? Was it 48/Lyca?
Was it a temporary/throw-away SIM? Was it activated?

I've been unable to order the Note 9 or Note 10 using a 48 SIM that I activated weeks ago, number must be blacklisted as others here have had orders fulfilled

That has been a common occurrence for orders since the phone was on sale in Dec. Vodafone have form of doing this. Maybe try get the phone in store if its for a present - I wouldn't have banked on it as a gift knowing they cancel orders randomly.

Ordered today with a 48 sim; fingers crossed.

Good luck. Tried twice, neither honoured. Went to a shop today to try again, but they were out of stock.

Red Rua

Ordered last week with 48 SIM and received grey Note 10 128GB today.

TheSheriff

Also arrived today, ordered a black 64gb model and a grey 128gb model arrived. No complaints.

Have ordered a second for the other half. Fingers crossed this one comes also.

Anyone have any blowback from Vodafone on this ? Plan on just chucking the Vodafone sim in the bin !

None whatsoever.

IMO SIMs with an active number should be kept for future use....for example, if Eir or three had a switching offer.

I'm sorry everyone, can ye explain to me like I'm five what exactly I have to do? I have a spare 48 sim knocking around, it seems like I can use that?

You may have to activate 48 SIM on their site.

On Vodafone site, browse PAYG phones. Choose Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G. Choose 'not a Vodafone customer' and opt to switch number. Cost should be €99.99.

Spec says 64Gb, buy they have delivered 128Gb.

cathy01

It said recurring charge €20?
I was using my.9 year olds sim.she had it for the covid days and no longer needs it.
So it came to €99 for the phone but the €20 it said recurring.
Will they take €20 out every month?
Sorry if that's a stupid question.

You will 100% have to activate the 48 sim to be able to receive the text code to port to VF.

No, they won't, they won't charge you for credit when you buy online either, so you only pay €99.99.

Anybody else find the sound over Bluetooth is very low, hard to hear people on a hands free for instance? One suggestion I saw was to change the region but that made no difference.

Found same with car hands free.
Quality a bit ruff and dropped Bluetooth connection a few times.

Thinking of changing to this from my One Plus 5T, just wondering is it a worthy upgrade or would I be left disappointed?

It wouldnt be too much of an upgrade: you'd be getting a newer device, slightly bigger screen and battery but not that much
If you wanted a 5g phone, the Note 10 might be a better choice: https://n.vodafone.ie/shop/phones/xiaomi/redmi-note-10-5g.html?gallery=payg

Ordered the 64gb but the 128 arrived so happy out with this. Great value for 100€

loyatemu

just ordered the 10 5G there.

Assuming I actually get the phone, if I don't complete the porting of the number from 48, can I use the same number to buy another one?

Got this at Christmas and find it an excellent phone apart from the Bluetooth connection with my Honda Civic. Connects fine but connection will drop while in a call and then reconnect in a constant cycle making it unusable. Same phone works fine in other car and other phones work fine in the Honda. Head wrecker :mad:

I don't know if that's down to the phone, it seems to be semi-random across all cars and phones. Wouldn't surprise me if you took 10 "identical" phones and they all worked fine. Or if 3-5 barely worked at all. :pac:

pissed

Luck of the draw I guess. Would snap one of the 10's up if I knew for certain the Bluetooth was working. Excellent value at that price.

Samsung S7 and Mi 9T worked flawless with same car until this.
Will get rid of bloatware at weekend. Never know.

Fingers crossed.
Bluetooth seems to be susceptible to seemingly random compatibility issues. Had a party recently, could connect to one speaker but not another, everyone else could connect to the one I couldn't, couple of people couldn't connect to the one I could.:rolleyes: Me on a Redmi note 9, them on old iPhones and Samsungs.

Am I right in thinking the Redmi Note 10 does not have NFC? A major minus for me, I use it all the time. I guess at this price point you can't have it all. Current phone is about to kick the bucket, not sure whether this is a deal breaker or not yet.

SmartinMartin

It has NFC.

Has anyone gotten this Note 10 using a lycamobile number ?

I ordered on Sunday with a 48 sim. Again, the order was for a black 64gb model and again a grey 128 gb is what has arrived. That's pretty awesome. Thanks to all above posting about the deal.

The vodafone webshop is something else though. I used two different browsers and eventually had to use incognito mode to get order through. If i made any adjustment or reversed steps in processing order, the cart would show as empty but I couldn't finalise an order for the phone as site kept insisting that I had to empty the cart first...really glitchy.

loyatemu

same here, grey 128GB arrived this morning. Seems a really good phone for €100. Comes with a screen-protector already applied and a silicone case in the box, and is unlocked.

buyer95

Successfully ordered the phone using a 48 sim. Got to the page where it confirms order and gives order number. Money also taken from account. Didn't receive an email confirmation which I thought was strange. Rang Vodafone then and quoted the order number they said all was good that they had the order and I'd receive an email within 24 confirming it. Slightly worried but hopefully it works out.

I've ordered another one for my son, and didn't get an email either.
