Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge

yeroulfella

I ordered my s7 edge from three for 750euro, when I top up by 130euro I can get it unlocked. so my contract with vodafone runs out in April so will use a 3 sim in s7 till then. once im up to the 130 mark i will unlock and go to virginmedia.

as for the VRheadset its first come first served till they are gone

krustydoyle

Im due an upgrade with Vodafone in June.. i wonder how much its gonna be??

Haven't used the S range since the S3... but this is tempting me after using the Sony Z2 for the last contract

Will CPW in the UK deliver to Ireland.

Seems networks here in Ireland are using the free gear VR for those getting the high costing tiers. Shame, since Samsung said all pre-orders get the gear VR for free.

Honestly, Samsung should have handled the free Gear VR themselves, and shipping them after proof of purchase or something.

Getting a sim free from CPW in the UK almosts works out the same as ordering a pre-pay here and then buying the fear VR after.

Carphone warehouse say they will give 50 quid off the price of the gear, nice of them!

CPW Ireland are now showing it as free on the pre-order page.

https://www.carphonewarehouse.ie/Shop/Phones-Plans/Preorders/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-edge

May throw the 50 euro deposit on one with them and then decide the best deal afterwards.

Edit.

Someone posted on CPW Ireland's facebook that CPW told them that contracts with 50+ a month get it for free, and contracts under 50 get it for half price. Their page doesn't remotely give that impression.

This free Gear VR offer is really botching this launch.

The T&C seems to have changed now. Nothing about only getting it free on billpay. Just ordered it and said in the order summary I was getting it free. Have taken screenshots of every step just incase!

Looks like Three have changed their contract details for the free Gear VR as mentioned above.

Here are the two compared.

How does one know if there within the first 50 orders?

I spoke to the sales team on the phone.

She said there is no way to know, and that you will find out when your order arrives. I think she is just assuming that, as it should be possible to tell by tomorrow.

Curb Your Enthusiasm

Don't know why anyone would order with Three directly when CPW have the offer too, on ALL orders.

Does Carphone Ireland have a final price yet?

It says when you select the phone you want congratulations you have qualified for the free headset. Also just before you check out it is included in the product description.

Also three seem to be giving 100 credit too. Not sure if you'd get that with CPW

ThinksAmoral

I remember seeing a purple box mentioning a free VR headset as I was going through the ordering process this morning.
Bought it as an upgrade. Can't remember which page it was on specifically.
