Nokia 6230i avail for 119 euro on Meteor Billpay!

rymus

in the interest of harping on constantly about bugs... Have any of the new 6230i owners experienced any of the bugs discussed on the expansys website - http://www.expansys.ie/forum.asp?code=119374

Some pretty dodgy sounding ones there.. like ringtone volume, lockups, reboots & shutdowns.

Just to set the record straight,

The Nokia 6230i is available exclusively to Carphone Warehouse in limited quantities and for first time connection to Meteor Postpay only. The phone is only available for purchase in CPW busiest stores, i.e. Grafton St, Henry St, Liffey Valley S.C etc.

At present it is not possible to port from Meteor pre-pay to Meteor post-pay. Meteor will not port a customer who ported to another network for one week from that port completing. When you sign up you cannot move down in tariff for 6 months. The phones are sim-free but they are also closely monitored by Meteor’s security system.

Care to elaborate on that? It's all sounding a bit CIA.

Do you not get a Meteor sim card?

Well yeah.. cos you have to take up a contract in order to get the offer.

So in other words no buying it to resell on eBay for profit

At present in CPW you cannot port from Meteor Prepay to Meteor Postpay. Whomever told you that if you port from Meteor Prepay to Vodafone or o2 Postpay just to port back to Meteor Postpay are wrong. Meteor have told their dealer relations department not to port any customer who done the above back to Meteor for at least a week.

If you want to get a Meteor contract, make sure to bring in a in date Irish Driving Licence or Passport and a Utility Bill or Bank Statement dated within the last three months. If you do not have a Irish Driving Licence or Passport, you can bring in a Foreign Passport and two forms of address proof.

If you go into the Meteor shop on Grafton street do they have it? and can they switch you from a PAYG to bill pay?

Haha... What are they monitoring for because there isn't much they can technically monitor..
