4s on eMobile?

richiee

Ive just been on to eMobile there. I have an iphone 4 and Im currently out of contract. Ive been offered the iPhone 4s 64gb for 99euro on a 12 monthh contract. 64euro/mth with three mths free. 300 mins, 300texts and 3gb data. He told me that 3gb is more than enough for the vast majority of people. I dont honestly know how much I use. This seems to me like a good deal, or is it?
Ive been with Vodafone and they have very poor 3g coverage in my area, thie guy in eMobile told me all their coverage is 3g, Is this correct? If so it should be a lot better than Vodafone. He said they have 99.2% coverage in Ireland. Has anyone had any issues with eMobile? He said they are the only irish phone company who are reday to go with 4g coverage. Sound very good if its all true.
Lastly, what is my iPhone 4 16gb worth? Its almost 1 year old and working as new.

That sounds very good to me, brand new top of the range 4S, 12 month contract as opposed to 18/24 months and three months free.. you could easily sell your iPhone 4 for €350-400 I'd say.

Gumbo

3GB is more than enough too.
how does it compare to what you get now and how much you currently pay now?

richiee

Im currently paying 60/mth with Vodafone, but Im always going over my allowance and my bills are nearly always 80euro or more. The poor 3g coverage in my area is a real nuisance.
I would hope to get 350 for my old iphone.
Is there anyone out there actually on eMobile at the moment? If so how do you find it?

That's some deal :eek:

galwayjohn89

You sure it's a 12 month contract? If so brilliant deal.

richiee

I think its 12 mth. The guy I was speaking to on eMobile was to call me back yesterday to arrange the set up but he never did. I called them again today and they told me they are out of stock of iPhone 4s fones and it will be about 2 weeks till they get more. In the mean time I am moving over to them as a sim only customer on a 30 day rolling contract just to try out their coverage etc. Ill let ye all know how I get on...

120_Minutes

double check your figures. it sounds like the select 300 plan which is 300 mins, 300 texts, free landlines and 2gb (not 3) of data. plus the 3 months free line rental deal was supposed to end oct 31, but they may have extended it.

thats the exact plan i got my 16gb 4s on last friday on a 12month contract...


...cept the phone cost me 300 quid. so i'm not sure i believe it.

marathonic

The only eMobile plan I see with 3GB data is the Select Smart 300. It’s 300 minutes, 300 texts and 3GB data and costs €64 per month for non-eircom customers and is a 24 month contract. The phone is €99 on this.

CathalDublin

€99 for a 64gb €64/month 12month contract sounds too good to be true, the sales guy has to have his figures wrong
They would only make €68 profit from you in the year based on the retail value of the phone €799

ryaner777

Just onto emobile 10 mins ago and was told it will be 7-10 days before they can source any more 4s to fill all their orders.

you will get a sim with an 085 number which will be overwritten with your number when the port goes through.

When did your order yours and when did you receive the email confirmation that it would be delivered today ?

I was hoping to have mine tomorrow but that doesn't look likely now !

My 32 gig 4S arrived to the house 20 mins ago. I had ordered on Tuesday and sent over the required info on Wednesday. Just glad I wasn't left waiting any longer...

Mine was posted today apparently. Should get it tomorrow i'm told

I think mine posted today, can I ask you , did you need a pin for the courier?
Seems that you need to have a 4 digit pin to get the phone from the courier and no one seems to know where you get the pin from?
Cheers.

No, I was not asked for a PIN, although he did mention some confusion about having something to go back to eMobile when he gave me my package?

sham69

Customer care guy told me I will need one and that I should have been emailed one
Another guy on here today was refused delivery from courier as he didn't have the pin?
No one in eMobile seems to know if you do or don't need it
Very confusing

I ordered thursday last. 5 working days i was told to wait

TrustedApple

Just got my iPhone there a hour ago

Had to ring up e mobile to set up my sim card so i can make calls and txts onto they port my number over which i have been told there is problems on changing over

Anyway when DPD came to my door the guy was looking for something to send back to them both of us had no idea what they where looking for so he just left me my phone ?

Love the white iPhone over the black

Also i have to add did anyone get some sort of contract to sign ?

I can shed a little light on this. Apparently a whole batch of orders from e-mobile were passed
on to the courier DPD for delivery today but whoever sent them processed the outgoing orders
wrong. They were logged as 'Shipments requiring a collection' And after one or two deliveries
this morning it became apparent that these were just outgoing orders when the customers
expecting their new phones were asked for the 'package that was going back' and the associated
pin number.

Hence the drivers were expecting a collection of an old device and delivery of a new one.
There was a lot of confusion about this today so DPD told not to deliver the orders until tomorrow
when they can be changed on their system to regular deliveries.


For anybody still waiting on a phone from e-mobile you really have to chase them for information
or you'll get absolutely none!

I chanced calling around 4pm today asking what the story is? I was told my package was
shipped and i should get it tomorrow. I also got the tracking number and delivery company.
When i got off the phone to e-mobile i rang DPD to try to find out some actual information about
where it is. They told me about the mixup above, said it will be delivered tomorrow morning or
said i could collect it from 5pm at their office which i did as it was 5 minutes away!

I now have my shiny new iPhone, but alas it is a bitter-sweet victory as my number is not ported
over and its not much good until tomorrow!

sham69

Cheers for the reply.
So basically the whole pin thing is not needed?
If that's the case why did the customer care guy tell me it was today, does anyone in emobile actually know what they are doing?

Very sloppy handling of the release and I thought O2 handled it badly...

Thanks again for reply, hope to have mine Friday.
Enjoy your phone

Ive been checking eMobiles web site and I see that the offer seems to be with a 24 mth contract, but im pretty sure the sales guy told me 12 mth. Maybe he made a mistake, maybe thats why he didnt call me back... I dont know. I have his name and I called emobile and asked them to get him to call me, but as of yet I havent heard anything from him. Is it a good deal if its a 24 mth contract?... Seems a long time... 2 years! Might be better buying the fone direct from apple and going on a sim only contract, that way I could shop around as often as I like.

I reckon upgrading from the 4 to the 4S probably isn't a good idea - especially on a 24 month contract. The 4 is well capable of processing whatever you throw at it.

I think Samsung are due to release their Galaxy S3 around March or April next year and, with the Galaxy S2 pretty much on a par spec-wise with the iPhone 4S, Apple cannot afford to wait around and not release the next iPhone until next October/November. They were behind the curve this time round when Samsung release the S2 which is a much higher specced phone than the iPhone 4. They need to get ahead of the curve again as there are too many people switching over to Android.

If I had a 4 and was insisting to stick with Apple, I'd get it unlocked (which shouldn't be a problem now that you're out of contract) and go with one of the PAYG plans. The PAYG plans are very competitive these days - in particular, Threes (if the coverage is good in your area).

eMobile will be €64 per month with three mths free. 300 mins, 300texts and 3gb data and €99 euro for the phone - including the cost of the phone and deducting the 3 months free, this is an average of €60 per month (and you're tied to a 24 month contract).

Three PAYG will be €20 per month which will pay for 86 weekday minutes to non-three numbers (after taking into account the €5 free monthly credit you get). All other minutes, texts and data will be free.

If most of your minutes are weekend or Three minutes, you shouldn't need any additional credit with Three and you can put €40 every month aside between now and the iPhone 5 release.

Let's say Apple do take a full year to release the next iPhone. This would mean that you can either keep the 4 with Three and have €480 towards the phone by release date or sign up to a 24 month contract and be stuck for another year with a phone that looks exactly like the iPhone 4 which, by that time, will be around 2.5 years old.



Edit: Another option is Sim-Only with Tesco Mobile who piggy-back on the O2 network. If you look here, you'll see that the 300 minute, 300 text and 500mb data plan is €20 per month. This may suit if most of your data is done using Wi-Fi (this is the case for me and I only really use network data for my Webtext App and the very occasional internet browse).

Beware and check your new phone before you transfer your old settings or even before you un-box. My new iPhone was delivered to-day and I immediately set about transferring my 3GS apps and settings. Unfortunately it was only at that stage, when software was updating (I thought IOS 5 came pre-installed) that I discovered I had been sent an iPhone 4 and not a 4s. Back onto Customer Service at eMobile, to be told that I might have ticked the wrong box on the application. Naturally, my order - completed on-line - showed it should have been a 4s. Of course, all wrapping and protective sheeting had been removed and a new screen protector installed, so I've now had to box it all up again and am awaiting word from Customer Service on the next steps. My understanding is that the 4s is now out of stock so I wonder if instructions are being given to send out the iPhone 4.

c08849200

I have received my 4s today and pre ordered last week but was told on monday Id have to wait 2 more weeks because they were out of stock.

I complained for about an hour because they are still available in shops and if i was to cancel and pick one up in the shop i wouldnt get the 3 months free which was an october offer

Now my number is taking ages to port still hasnt and its been 7 hrs and also with my temporary e mobile number it will let me call but not text or 3g internet.

The girl i was talking to in customer service said that i just plug in the phone to itunes and sync it to fix the problem with the 3g and messaging.

I had already done this and she didnt have any answers...just silence and seemed clueless.

They have been very sloppy so far, nothing has gone right and still have not got full use of my phone!

Also anybody know anything about siri not working fully outside of the us? Why is this and will they be changing that to allow us the full use of it?

TrustedApple

I have be porting since 10 am still having my 085 number i think i might keep it at this stage cindering i have giving it to every one who needs to get in touch with me

But i have all calls 3G and txts on it

But i well add that eMobile 3G is a lot better in my house then o2 3G

Also loveing the phone i like it a lot more then my old iPhone 4

Dublinstiofán

Definitely making a balls of the porting anyway.

When i call someone my correct ported number comes up.
When i txt them the original number associated with the e-mobile sim card i was provided with comes up!

I'll be in for another long conversation tomorrow unfortunately.

Aquos76

i received my 4s from emobile today, ordered online last thursday, wasn't asked for any pin from delivery guy, so far the porting process has been a pain in the arse, like others here, the 085 sim that came with the 4s wasn't activated and that took till 5pm to get activated, so I guess the porting process hasn't even started yet,

sham69

I ordered last Wednesday and still havent got my phone.
Supposed to have it today but I don't hold out much hope.
Had Steve checking it for me yesterday on here, got a reply at 12 yesterday to say he was checking it out and would get back to me with a tracking number.
Didnt get a reply after that???
I have to say I havent been impressed with eMobile so far, different story every time I ring to find out whats going on with my order.
Hopefully I will get it today and things will go well..

My dad must of been one of the lucky ones!
Got his on a Thursday evening, requested the port from Vodafone and by 9am the next morning it was all sorted!

I must have been even luckier. After receiving the phone Wednesday evening I rang eMobile to port over my number. EMobile sim had to be activated and was done while I was on the phone in 10 mins. 25 mins after hanging up on call, my number was ported and I started receiving calls on the 4s.

rachieqtpie

Herd from a friend that emobile has ran out of Iphone 4s now. Even for those of us that have already purchased. Has anybody else herd this? I would ring them now myself but im at work

Customer service won't deal with sales calls and sales won't answer emails. The only thing this shower seem capable of is charging up front, for a product they can't or won't supply. Avoid. Ordered last Thursday, charged to Credit card Friday and no communication since.

sham69

Posted this elsewhere but may as well post here aswell
Was ringing today to find out why was happening with my order , I was told it was shipping Wednesday , was only ringing for tracking number and was told it was out of stock?
I couldn't believe it, they charged me straight away when I ordered not when shipped as stated on the site.
Worst crowd I have ever dealt with, honestly.
Steve on here failed to reply to me 2 days in a row wih an update
Staff I spoke to on the phone even worse , really sorry I decided to go with them but all the other networks are out of stock now and they have my money so may as well wait now till stock arrives.
Very very disappointed.

zenit

What's really getting to me is that they are continually advertising on radio for a product they can't supply.

Aquos76

The eMobile store in Waterford had 3 black 16gb ones (bill pay) left in store as of 7.30 tonight. I had to get a replacement micro sim from them as the one which eMobile sent ne out seemed to be faulty, it kept dropping the signal when I was replying to text messages.

took a week for my dads iPhone to arrive with no communication in the middle. there was a BH in the middle there so maybe just hang on, or there is one option. on monday, go into a store and they can get in touch with the sales team.

Lads you can moan and winge as much as you want but fact of the matter is:

• they said it would ship within five business days (Subject to Availability)
• they said it was on a first come first served basis

If you want to blame someone blame yourselves for ordering so late. I ordered mine
on Wednesday morning i had it 5 business days later. My mate ordered Thursday and
he got his less than 24 hours after me. So they are being fair and distributing them
as they came in.

On another note i will agree how abysmal their customer support is and hope that i
don't have to deal with them again during the remainder of my contract.

Also cant condone being charged on the spot when they say you wont be charged until
the item ships, however they're really doing us a favour not letting us spend the cash
thats not really ours anyway, arn't they? Apple do the very same thing (placing a hold
on funds until the order has shipped)

I also ordered on Thursday same as your friend and one day after you. They took my order and my money and phone was still available for sale on Friday. I don't see how that is my fault. Anyway got a reply today.
Hi,

 

Thank you for ordering your phone on our family and friends offer. As we have indicated on our website, due to the popular demand for the iPhone 4S, along with the unprecedented uptake of this offer, we are experiencing delays in processing some orders.

 

We would like to confirm that details of your order have been received and the delivery of your iPhone 4S will take place week commencing November 21st.  

 

We would like to thank you for your patience and look forward to delivering you your new iPhone 4S as soon as possible

 

Many thanks,

The eMobile team

You're talking complete ***** mate.
I and some other people on here (if you bother to read the posts properly) ordered on Wednesday, our money was taken and we were promised a phone.
I was told to ring on Thursday to get my tracking number but when I did I was told they were out of stock.
People who ordered their phone a day after me got their phone?
So how are we whinging and moaning.
You got your phone, we didnt so don't rub our noses in it by saying its our own fault?
Its emobiles fault and they said as much to me on the phone but you seem to know better.

No i'm taking sense buddy. And my comment wasn't directed at you more so at the others who ordered on Thursday and were giving out.

My point is that they seemed to be dealing with it on a first come first served basis from what i've seen. I got mine (which i ordered Wednesday)
within 5 business days. My buddy (who ordered his) got his within 5 business days so they kept their bargain with us.

But its not e-mobiles fault, when you agreed to their terms and conditions they clearly state that it was on a first come
first served basis and subject to availability. I had expected to wait up to three weeks for it as i wasn't expecting to get
one from the first batch. You have to be patient!

Sham69 was right on two counts, you're talking xxxxx and you don't fully read posts before responding. Now since you have singled me out as the one whinging and moaning I think I should explain myself. I read the terms and conditions on the eMobile website. I ordered on Thursday, same as your buddy. I had no expectation of receiving my phone in the first batch. My credit card was charged on Friday. The website was still taking orders on Monday 01/11. The sales team were off for the long weekend and let the website take orders for phones they did not have to sell. Most companies can organise their website to only take orders for items they have in stock but eMobile decided that a first come first served policy was adequate.
With no information from eMobile I assumed that the charge on my card meant I had secured a phone from the first batch. By Friday 5 business days had passed and I had no phone and no info on my order. I contacted customer services and was given the run around.
I posted here to warn off others who might be tempted by eMobile's excellent offers.
It is 100% eMobiles fault. Sham69 said they admitted that to him on the phone, but I guess you didn't read that part of his post either.
I hope you are enjoying your phone.

Ok,
I'll try this once more and then I'll leave it coz I don't think you're getting what I am saying.
If I ordered on Wednesday and your friend ordered on Thursday and he got his phone and I didnt then it is NOT first come first served?
Whats so difficult to understand about that?
I have no problem waiting for second or third batch but when someone who orders after me gets their phone before me then there is something wrong.
I am happy you got your phone but you are wasting your time trying to justify eMobile's actions.
They admitted themselves that they made a mistake which is fair enough but you don't seem to want to accept that and I can't understand why?
I assume you are not an employee?

Hang on a second. I'm always the first to HELP here in this forum. Here is one example from this thread alone:
There was also a very valid piece of advice in my post which clearly you did not read! This may or may not
have resulted in your order not going out in the first batch. I rang e-mobile a good four or five times before
i got ANY information at all after hearing nothing after the long weekend. And i think it only goes to show
that if e-mobile didn't ship the orders as first come first served (as you say they didn't) it was those who
were on the phone wondering where their phone that they were charged for was that got them first!
Not saying this is what happened to you but it could have been.

I can shed a little light on this. Apparently a whole batch of orders from e-mobile were passed
on to the courier DPD for delivery today but whoever sent them processed the outgoing orders
wrong. They were logged as 'Shipments requiring a collection' And after one or two deliveries
this morning it became apparent that these were just outgoing orders when the customers
expecting their new phones were asked for the 'package that was going back' and the associated
pin number.

Hence the drivers were expecting a collection of an old device and delivery of a new one.
There was a lot of confusion about this today so DPD told not to deliver the orders until tomorrow
when they can be changed on their system to regular deliveries.


For anybody still waiting on a phone from e-mobile you really have to chase them for information
or you'll get absolutely none!

I chanced calling around 4pm today asking what the story is? I was told my package was
shipped and i should get it tomorrow. I also got the tracking number and delivery company.
When i got off the phone to e-mobile i rang DPD to try to find out some actual information about
where it is. They told me about the mixup above, said it will be delivered tomorrow morning or
said i could collect it from 5pm at their office which i did as it was 5 minutes away!

I now have my shiny new iPhone, but alas it is a bitter-sweet victory as my number is not ported
over and its not much good until tomorrow!

Theres no denying e-mobiles service is ****e, i said that myself last week here when they
couldn't even port over my number without any hassle.

Definitely making a balls of the porting anyway.

When i call someone my correct ported number comes up.
When i txt them the original number associated with the e-mobile sim card i was provided with comes up!

I'll be in for another long conversation tomorrow unfortunately.

Addressing your most recent post,i said clearly that there was no excuse for charging for orders that weren't
on their way out the door but many companies do this, even Apple. The website was still taking orders on
Monday correct, but why wouldn't they when they have it clearly stated on the website that orders would ship
on a first come first served basis. They have something everybody wants and it would be foolish to take it off
the site no matter what stock they have if people are prepared to sign a 12/18/24 month contract to get it!
Also, this has nothing to do with the fact you haven't got yours yet. Any orders from the weekend have no
bearing on when your order ships out as you ordered first.

I read shams post about admitting liability on the phone but didn't really agree with it totally. They have a
share of the blame but anyone who ordered an iPhone 4S knew in their mind they may have a long wait on
their hands, especially since Apple are taking 2 to 3 weeks to fulfill orders from their own online store.

I think the main point to take away from this is they don't care about me,you or iPhones. They care about
money like every other company. I still maintain that i got a good deal from e-mobile but after the 12 months
I'm out of there unless they can offer me something better. Hope both of you get your phones soon they are
incredibly fast and will be worth the wait!

Delighted for you.....
How would you feel if you paid 400 euro for something that was supposed to be delivered to you on a certain day, you ring for a tracking number and get told it is out of stock.
Then other people who ordered after you get their phones delivered before you?
On top of that, you get no notification of when your phone will be shipped?
Am I being unreasonable here?
If you are sick of reading my comments , stay out of the thread.
