    Really really stupid question but ..... I can't see where you can buy it sim free (I am only seeing it with pay monthly or at 179.99 for 8gb:o ... Can anyone post a link pretty please?

    Just use the link above and click the little blue square under the picture of the S3. By the way I could have ordered it in white back when it first appeared on HUKD but the checkout page said "delivery to mainland UK only" which I thought ruled out Parcel Motel.

    Are you guys using Parcel Motel anyway?

    Thanks guys! Have it in my basket and going through checkout now.
    Has everyone used get it delivered to PM ... wondering if I should SIL in UK - she's home in a couple of weeks so might be the safest option?

    EDIT: Chanced PM with it ... it says that they deliver to NI .... only thing is they may come back and look for extra £ as it seems Free delivery is only to UK mainland - that's the way I'm reading it anyways

    NI is considered the mainland as far as Royal Mail are concerned, whereas all the other couriers wouldn't.

    I think they might use DPD though as its over £50 (?) .... see here http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/phones/samsung-galaxy-s-3/handset#ankDeliveryReturns

    Great phone for the price, I got it about a year and a bit ago for £280!

    Started running slow recently but I installed the CM OS which gets rid of all of Samsungs customizations and is much faster now.

    My order was rejected having used Parcel Motel. Credit Card check failed, wouldn't accept an ROI address on the credit card. Anyone else had any success / any workarounds?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 948 ✭✭✭Only


    I got an email to contact them about my credit card also. I phoned them yesterday and they said there was an issue so I phoned my CC company to make sure the payment could go through. When I tried to phone them back it was 5pm so the office was closed.
    I phoned just a while ago and got a different rep - apparently this issue is the delivery address is different to the billing address so the rep was processing the order manually for me. I managed to get cut off from him twice though and when I phoned back the 3rd time I got a different guy who was tracking down the first guy - put me on hold and got cut off again!
    I just emailed them now to give me a call about it but I 'think' it might be gone through as he had all my details / info so fingers crossed!

    I'd say give them a call and see if they can do it manually for you too Danny2580

    Anyone with better luck ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,417 ✭✭✭griffdaddy


    As far as I know you can ring your bank and ask for a temporary address change on your credit card

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15 jonathanj1234


    I also got the same email saying my card was declined. I contacted my bank but they couldn't do anything and neither can Carphone Warehouse. No phone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 948 ✭✭✭Only


    No joy here - just got an email saying " Unfortunately your order has not been successful due to an information mismatch. "
    That's after 3 phone calls and the rep saying he was putting it through manually ... oh well :(
