    Just bought the black one, no issues, cheers OP for this bargain alert, thought I had missed the boat, just hope the camera is as good as everyone is saying.

    Used an Eir sim I got online for free from Eir.

    Collected mine from Vodafone swords this evening.. word of warning about the store. They never answer their phone or return calls. I got no confirmation that it was in the store but called in on way home and it was there.

    Ordered one on Monday night. Wouldn't complete purchase the first time so tried again and it worked using the exact same details.
    Got two in the post today...
    Unfortunately I see that I was charged twice too!
    Senior hurling I suppose.

    Just got one today, I thought it was gonna be 280 after the deduction, not 180... It's a steal really. I assume it'll be locked to Vodafone?

    Got my refund in the end. Eventually returned to my card. Will think twice before ordering online from them. Such a bad system.

    Can i ask has anyone problems with the text message notification alert?

    no matter what I do to the one I bought my wife we can't get a sound to come when she receives a text, or the phone doesn't show a text message symbol.

    the notification sound works for watsapp, messenger etc juts not texts.

    I can't see any reason or setting why the phone wouldn't allow notifications.

    My speaker has stepped working so I don't get any notification sounds or alarms. Can't hear the phone ringing.

    Searched online and it's a common problem usually looks like something breaks with the speaker

    Had the same issue with an old Pixel i acquired, was given it free in work due to the issue. Works find at home via a bluetooth speaker so only use it for radio/spotify now

    It could be due to a permissions setting for the Messenger app. Try uninstalling/reinstalling Messenger updates or try another SMS app.

    The original offer expired some while back and since then the availability has only been sporadic. Possibly more available now so the title could be updated to reflect this

    I see Carphone Warehouse are doing a Vodafone porting deal.
    Switch your number to the €40 a month "RED Standard" and get a free Huawei P30 Pro.

    I'm tempted except that deal gives you 100 free mins, and 10GB per month.

    Over your 24 month contract that's €720 (€648 for their newer offer) more than the Gomo deal with less data, minutes etc. and you could buy that phone with your savings. Not much of a deal really.

    How is one supposed to get a refund off these clowns?

    I bought one of these in November and I still haven't got my refund. Been on live chat more times then I'd like to admit and I've also tried calling them but I can't get through to anyone without a Vodafone account number. Too late for a chargeback with AIB as well.

    Is there anything else I can do or will I have to take them to the small claims court? Shambles of a company.

    Facebook was the only method which worked for me.

    No doubt a bit of negative publicity will have them sort it in no time. I don't have a facebook account theses days though.

    Surely there's a number to get through to someone? Rajeesh in India seems powerless over live chat.

    I've been waiting since November too. They can't seem to find my payment apparently. Despite me sending screenshots of my bank statement, as well as a statement of the individual transaction with my bank details and the transaction ID from Revolut. Shambles.

    I've been on twitter to them since December. Have an ongoing conversation over DMs with 2 of their staff.

    One of my colleagues couldn't get his phone unlocked by them for over a month, ended up tweeting the following: CEO Anne O’Leary, Director of Strategy Liam O’Brien

    No response from CEO but replying to her tweets and his got a response from him to get things moving. Reply to there tweets slating them and the issue you have with the refund, they'll want to get rid of you quick smart to stop the negative press on their tweets.

    Cut off is 60 days according to AIB: aib.ie/content/dam/aib/personal/docs/our-products/credit-cards/dispute-transaction-form.pdf

    Might still be worth a shot given how clear cut this is. Might also create a twitter account just to harass them. Shameful it will come to that.
