Google Pixel 4A - euro 179 on Vodafone

SnuggyBear

They spend so much time adding and removing things, changing things. You still can't buy a phone on the website. The guy in charge of the website is a busy fool. Making random changes to fill up the work day.

Have they removed the promotional code box for everyone?

The Vodafone discount reward isn't in the Irish Life app any more either.

As far as I’m aware the promotion was finishing on may 4th

For anyone successful in getting a phone, did it come unlocked?

Yep, though vodafone staff in store advised it would not. I believe all Google phones are unlocked.

They're not, but this one from Vodafone is.

The one I got was not network locked at all, works fine with any SIM I want.

When did you get yours that was network locked?

There are lot of pixel 4a on adverts for sale now. seems lot of people got it for 179 and put on it for sale. I was looking one for my own use but couldn't get even after trying 16 times.

i ordered with code VF0013 yesterday received phone today, i used my own vodafone sim,,i had tired with a lycra sim and didnt work and was cancelled. This code must be for vodafone customers only, discount at checkout.

Will your phone actually port over to VF by using a real phone number for this offer? Going to try one last time for the heck of it.


When would you like to switch?
Your mobile service will be down for up to 20 minutes.
Tick
As soon as possible
On a specific date
Select Date

It's been said a few times here, there is no need to port any number to VF for this offer. Personally I would not even attempt that option because who knows what VF would end up doing with the number.

I got mine by selecting 'New customer'

Got one on Friday, very good for €179. I'm switching from iPhone so getting used to it
I also moved my number from Vodafone to An post, Vodafone annoyed me so much trying to order the phone I took it and ran

Pardon my ignorance, but where might one enter this code? Been through nearly the whole checkout procedure and didn't spot it.

Thanks.

Hey folks, both my friend and I put in separate orders for this last week. I got the order confirmation and money taken from my account, but nothing since. No cancellation email, no shipment email and no phone. I've seen posts here of others having to wait 8 days for a refund, but that was after receiving a cancellation email. I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced the same and gotten either the phone, or a refund without having to get onto customer service?

JDxtra

I've never seen a cancellation email from them. Log into the account you used to order and check the status there.

I must have put in about 10 different orders. All eventually refunded but I never once got a cancellation email.

cormie

Ahw damn, good and bad to hear at the same time, thanks!

RobertFoster

I had to phone the bank to get my first order unstuck. Ordered on the 17th but didn't get any confirmation emails. VF Web Chat told me it was cancelled on the 26th and a refund would take 5 days. I contacted them again on the 10th and was told to check my bank statements :rolleyes: Rang the bank yesterday evening and it was no longer pending this morning.

My phone that shipped on April 25th was lost (i.e. stolen) by someone in An Post. Now I'm dealing with Vodafone for a refund/replacement. Jesus, what a disaster.

Never dealing with Vodafone again regardless of the "bargain". You'll pay more in pain and suffering if anything goes wrong!

I had something similar with a different company before. They wanted me to do all sorts of shíte before they would refund. Then when I'd do it they would ask me to do more. I gave up with them and asked my bank for a chargeback. That was a lot more straightforward and got it sorted.

Hi all,
For anyone lucky enough to have got the phone from VF, did anyone sign up to the free 3 months YouTube Premium and how did you go about it?
Or does it apply here at all?
Thanks.

grogi

Where do you put the discount code? I went through the whole process and could not find a single place to put it...

I had a 4 month YT Premium trial before, I think the offers regularly come and go and it's not phone dependant?

Think the offer is only a month if not phone dependant?
Found some info here https:// store.google.com/ie/terms/subscription_promo_terms but still unsure how to avail of it.

I got it for 4 months previously (I remember it was specifically 4 months - a strange number for a free trial!), maybe it was with a new phone back then, I swap phones so often that could have easily been the reason

Sorry, I can't help much with this. I'm in the YT App now on my Pixel but there's no sign of any sort of free month promotion, straight into the payment screen. But again, it's probably because I availed of the free offer before.

Hope you get it sorted!

What's the difference between a skin and a cover/case? Does the skin protect the phone or do I need a cover/case for that? If skin is not for protection is it only for aesthetics? Thanks.

Yes.

rizzee

Purely to change the colour of the phone and can either hide or prevent scratches on the back. I have it put in a clear gel case anyway, plus a glass protector.

Anyone use one of the official cases? I was thinking of getting one, but €30 is about the cheapest I can find one :eek:

Not sold on the look of them. I've always went for Spigen cases, only available for the pixel 4a on the Amazon.de website. Great quality and look good (albeit quite plain) https://www.amazon.de/s?k=spigen+pixel+4a&ref=nb_sb_noss

Can't go wrong with a Spigen. Another brand to look for is Ringke. Really, really good cases at an affordable price.

RobertFoster

The Spigen cases are a bit too rugged and colourless for what I'm looking for

I had the original case on my 3a, loved it tbf. Would get another for the 4a if the price wasn't so high

Yep. Got it on sale on the last BH weekend but just got delivered today. Came with a back only skin (applied) and also one that wraps around the sides too.

I'm loving the Pixel but finding the 4a too small, gonna pick up a 4a 5g as it's 6.2 inch. Pity the 100e off by Google has ended. Anyone know of any other deals on it?

No problem. I've bought 30+ phones off him over the years for myself, family and friends and can highly recommend. Never any issues.
