Vodafone Black Friday Sale

So I went to switch my wife to VF from that gomo (terrible service) I put in her number to switch and as there is no option for gomo in drop down list I chose Meteor.

I ordered the phone yesterday and it arrived today,I then got a text about an hour after telling me that meteor rejected my number so got 100 of the phone and ended up not having to transfer any number.

Might help people already on VF, just use your own number and select the wrong network

Not sure if this is allowed, but will this work?

Order a free sim card from another provider
Get the new number
Order a phone from VF and say i'm transferring from another provider
Use the phone number from the free sim card (my phone is unlocked so can retrieve the code they send)
When that's complete, put original VF sim card into the new phone
I know it's a lot of effort to save €50 in the price difference, but would that work ok?

Yes ,it will work.

Ordered a P30 Lite Wednesday, collected in store today (after receiving text that it was ready to collect). As I suspected, it doesn't appear to be dual SIM. Only one IMEI printed on package.

Haven't set it up yet but I must say it does look quite impressive anyway! (Went for blue.)

I'v a dual Sim phone and only one IMEI on the box.
I read somewhere that if you unlock with the IMEI then both are unlocked.

Hi all, has anyone any success in unlocking the Huawei P30 Lite from Vodafone ? I've seen the listings on eBay etc but was unsure if they actually "worked". Would appreciate any suggestions or a point in the right direction.

I searched and cheapest on ebay seemed to be from seller om108-mobile, was 23euro and he has nearly 6k feedback

Said could take 10 days, he came back to me within 5 with code, worked a treat

+1 for om108-mobileom

Got first within 6 hours. For the second I had to ring him (yes, his phone number is on ebay) after 36 hours!!!. He didn't apologise but I got it within five minutes then. He charges different amounts for different phones. Cost me €11.99.

Both worked perfectly.

His feedback is indeed almost 6k and all 100% positive.

Any unlock code recommendations for the Samsung a20e and a40?
Buying both of them, replacement and a spare.

Yep, read post #128 immediately before yours.

Type *#06# on your phone. You'll get 2 IMEIs. Send both IMEIs for unlock codes mentioning it's a dual-sim phone.

Thought that was for a recommendation for P30 but I'll have a look anyway.
Thanks.

Did you have to verify your number?

Unfortunately that wont work for me. I have been charged for a cancelled order. Unable to get anywhere with the vodafone support.

Credit card dept wants a proof that I have contacted vodafone over the mail before they do anything.

Vodafone are now the worst. I have an issue with a phone that repairs can't fix and I can't get anyone to talk to. Even comreg can't get them to talk to me.

mono_mac

Anyone hardly ordered two p30 lites if so ,il buy of you , it's out of stock now

okidoki987

Ordered a Samsung today and 8 hours later just got cancelled :mad:

Vodafone if you don't have the stock put a "no stock sticker" on them or remove them from the website.
It's not rocket science!

Has anyone that had an order cancelled gotten a refund yet?

Got one cancelled last Sunday, still waiting for the refund.

I'm in exactly the same position. Waiting a week for the refund at this stage. The only way I found to contact Vodafone is through Facebook.

..... or Chat. That's the only way I could contact them - and to be fair it worked!

Affluenza

Two orders cancelled last week, no sign of they money. Chat said it'll take 2-3 working days and I was promised my second order would be fulfilled won't be recommending anyone to Vodafone anyone soon

Refund delays are usually just the business delaying processing the refund
It's the same with most of them
Do a card charge back
You'll have the money back in 48hrs

Waiting for weeks for a company to do it is so 1998
Complaining about it is a waste of time

4 working days waiting for one refund and three for the other one... And I just checked my bank and one of the payments have gone from pending to cleared.

With a claim back, wouldn't I have to bring proof with me to show the orders were cancelled? Not looking to spend an hour in the bank to get it sorted

Mortelaro

No
Just walk into your branch and fill out a form
I had my money back in 48 hours
No faffing about at all!
