I got a 48months sim delivered on Fri as Eir didn't send one despite multiple orders and confirmation mails to say it will be dispatched.

Was surprised you had to activate the 48months sim and that the number wasn't on the card so did that last night and requested a new number but still haven't got that. Any idea how long that takes as the email and their website just said "some time" but wasn't expecting it to be more than a few mins.

Don't want to spoil anything but Three have the same A40 phone for 89 euros !

Very good price! Trying to find a thread on it but doesn't seem to be anything so apologies if there is. Does anyone know if you can do this at a 3 store or is it online only? Also, is it likely to be locked to 3 network?

What does VF €25 cashback mean ?

Is that separate to the 50/100 off?

The €25 cashback is for a SIM only port. Checked this in store.

And Vodafone cut price of A40 trying to match three.

Now it is 99 euros when you switch.

I'm gonna see a lot of those phones on adverts shortly.

Tom

I refreshed page and it is gone !
Back to 149 when switching !

sorry for misleading

RobbingBandit

Not seeing A40 for €99 still €149.99 only €50 off for Switch

dan786

A40 is 149 after 50 off from Vf.

That's better than Vodafones offer.

Three are also doing A20e at €89! Is that better than the A40? Buying a gift for my brother,

okidoki987

At the price, would have thought the A40 was a better phone.
A40 has more ram, better camera and 64GB memory (although both
upgradable).

Anyone able to help me understand phone unlocking a bit.
I got a network code and a defreeze code from ebay seller.

Unlock code didn't work first time.
I'm nervous to try it again in case I disable the phone entirely.

Seller is saying to enter the codes multiple times and it will eventually work..
LIke:

1) enter 41963906
2) tap unlock
3) enter 49525720
4) tap unlock
5) repeat step 3 and 4, for 10-15 times.

But would this not be very risky?

That doesnt sound right. Is this for Samsung A20e, if so it should only have one code which unlocks both sims slots. You only enter code once and it works if its correct.

Hi Dan,
yah, it's for the A20e. From that guy on ebay that you used.

He is telling me I've nothing to worry about.. just keep banging in the unlock code and then the defreeze code after it, again and again.. until the phone unlocks.

I asked if there was not a danger of bricking the phone and he said shur you have the defreeze code..

Problem is.. if the unlock code isn't right.. how do I know the defreeze code will work...

Not sure what to do now...

I bought code for A20e, A40 and a S9 from him in last week and they came with just one unlock code and it worked on first try.

I got mine from him today and it worked first time. I got a network unlock pin and a network unlock puk. I was prompted for the pin and it was instantaneous. Did you get a pin and a puk?

Thinking of ordering an iPhone 8 payg - is there anything to stop me switching my number to Vodafone and then a month or so later switching it to another provider, will the phone remain locked to vf?

Thanks

Hiya,
I got the following:

IMEI : 35xxxxxxxxxxx
Unlock code : Network: 49525720, Defreeze: 41963906

NCK / NETWORK = Network code
MCK / DEFREEZE = PUK code

And when I put the Network one in, it didn't work.
So I'm just uncomfortable going further and trying to do what he told me to do with the 10 to 15 times bit..
