    Bought two of these 9 months ago to upgrade existing phones. One has been great and the other a total disaster.

    Great camera bad 4g connectivity

    My phone just all of sudden have no SIM error. At same time fast charging stopped and I could not transfer from phone to computer.

    Put phone to on side as I was not sure who to contact about it. It was taking a day to charge about 30% and now is not charging.

    I backed up phone and done factory reset with no change.

    I will not be going Google again in future. It has been my least reliable phone ever.

    Does anyone have link to contact Google about it or should I go to Vodafone?

    I have sent phones back to Google many times and they have been great about replacing them with brand new devices! That is the route I would go.

    Cheers,
    M

    Thanks. So would best course of action be to bypass Vodafone and go straight to Google.

    What is best way to contact them for support for Irish devices?

    It looks like they've done away with the free SIM offer. Probably found too many were being used for the likes of this!

    I have ordered pixel 4a through vodafone website but didn't received a confirmation email. money showing as pending. when checked with vodafone chat agent he cancelled the order saying it didn't went through properly. money from account is still showing as pending. looks like few people encountered the same problem. anyone knows how long it takes to get the refund with vodafone.ie

    Mine took about 3 months. But if it's only pending, then it will probably be quicker. Mine was through Revolut and the money went to them instantly.

    It is still showing as pending since day 1. Vodafone never bothered to fix the IT glitch affecting their online orders.

    I had 2 failed attempts. One with Revolut that 3 months to get a refund. The other was with a regular debit card, that showed as pending where I got the money back quickly enough.
    I ended up just walking into a Vodafone shop and getting one. That still took the guts of an hour to set up, before they'd give it to me. I'll look elsewhere for bargains in the future.

    Is this still functional? My order number is not found.

    To hijack this thread, anybody in the know thinks Vodafone will continue the money off pixel program? Got the 4a for €100 less than Google. Then I rushed (broke my 4a) into buying the 6a from Google only for Vodafone to drop the price to €100 less than what I paid a short while after. Looking to get a 7a now and wondering should I hold out?
