Moto G - [Threads Merged]

Why bring your query off thread? This thread is about the Moto G, not Android as an OS!

Ben

Because the question is specifically connected to buying a Moto G, but now that I thought I'd made my mind up Amazon.co.uk are showing "Usually dispatched within 1 to 4 months."

What I was hoping for was some feedback on changing OS, the general user experience, OS stability re. random crashes and freezes etc. stuff like that.

You were hoping for some feedback on the OS switch in general
nothing to do with Moto G really

Maybe worth a new thread
I too would be interested in hearing stories and comparisons of people who have converted between different OS's

Hi folks,

I am very interested in getting the 16GB version of this, seems fantastic value, especially from Tesco Direct.

I have already been on the Tesco Direct web site, and turned on a "Stock Alert", which means they will e-mail me when it becomes available again.

I am just wondering about delivery to Parcel Motel, will there be a problem, how do I put in my PM number in the address field??

Are there any traps or tricks regarding Irish Credit/Debit cards, etc.

I wonder if I buy a 16GB Moto G now would I get it in time for Christmas?

If you order an 8Gb off Amazon.co.uk the estimated delivery time is Thursday, December 12, 2013 - Friday, December 20, 2013.

That's as close as you are going to get to being guaranteed one for Christmas.

It isn't due to come into stock until Dec. 6th.

If you can afford to do so the best bet is to place an order with Amazon and then keep trying to order one from Tesco. If you get one from Tesco cancel your Amazon order. (Amazon won't charge you until it is dispatched but they may have an authorisation on your credit card before that.)

Heads-up: The 16gb version is now in-stock on Tesco online!! I just successfully ordered one!!

Are you sure??

Actually I'm only 50/50 about whether I got one, hence me saying I successfully ordered one .... Yes dude, I'm sure

Yeah you have to use parcel motel address. It doesn't allow you use numbers in the name field so your PMID will need to be written like this. PM OneTwoThreeFourFive. Choose nightline logistics in the address dropdown menu after entering the PM postcode. Not sure about the clubcard points, you can try and login in with your irish clubcard details and see if that works. Phone comes locked to tesco uk so needs to be unlocked. Codes can be got for less than €2.50 and it needs a micro sim.

Guys, can anyone help with the Parcel Motel Address I need to enter on the Tesco Direct site:

I have entered the Post Code, BT36 4PX....

but the list of addresses available does not include the Nightline Logistics, or indeed this....

Parcel Motel
1A McKinney Road
Mallusk
Newtownabbey
Co Antrim

What address should I choose, can't copy and paste those showing, but the first one is

Allister Moore Ltd, Unit 3 Newtownabbey

last one is

Unit 21 McKinney Industrial Estate, etc

There are a couple of Logistics address's showing in the drop-down list also...

TDG Logistics 52 Mallusk Road

DHL Excel McKinney Ind. Estate

Anyone know??

Or are Tesco copping on to PM, and excluding delivery to them??

I have done a capture of the relevant section below:

You've the old post code. Its BT36 4PE and select Nightline Deliveries.

Thanks very much indeed, that was the original Post Code I got last year, perhaps even before that, I can't recall getting an update about about it.....

However, I actually got to purchase the 16GB moto G.....at least it's showing up in my Tesco Direct account, and I got an e-mail from them acknowledging my purchase, so, good to go. I think.....

Delivery by Dec. 7th.....

lookin forward to messin with this now...rooting, SIM unlocking, bootloader unlock, etc, etc

Thanks again!!

Guys,

I've gotten as far as paying for the Moto G with Tesco Direct using my Parcel Motel account and post code etc for delivery but when it comes to entering my card details it insists on having a UK billing address for the card which I obviously don't have. How have you guys gotten around that? I don't see any option for using PayPal

Ben

Just use the Parcel Motel billing address. It should not be cancelled as Tesco don't check but if you want you can ring the bank and add the address as a billing or shipping address on the card.

Thanks Bren, that seemed to do the trick all right.

Can't believe this phone will be delivered by next weekend for the equivalent of €153. Unbelievable!! I was toying with the idea of getting a Chinese phone but this is the best of both worlds, a bang up to date phone from a quality manufacturer. If this works commercially for Motorola/Google Vodafone and the other network operators better get ready to become airtime providers and nothing else.

Here's the order confirmation for those interested in getting one.




Thanks for all the help guys.

Santa is coming early this year!!!!

Ben

Exactly what I got, I can't wait!!!

I'm actually selling my Galaxy S3 now, with a few extras, cos I will be getting a Nexus 7 for Crimbo from herself, so the S3 is really surplus to requirements....

Does anybody know of anywhere that have the flip case in stock?

You should find them in stock from tomorrow

Anyone know if the ones from tesco are locked to the tesco network ?

Yes they are.

I take it they will work on Tesco Ireland and not just Tesco UK??

Just Tesco UK, you have to unlock the phone to use it on any different network (which includes Tesco Ireland). There is a few links in the thread and it costs about 2 GBP.
