Enjoy 😀

Qwerty?

Thank op. Hopefully they will honour this one. Last few orders on their site have been cancelled for me.

Shlippery

Great phone, great camera. Great bargain! Keen to pick one up myself.

(just don't break it - pain in the ass to get pixel screens repaired!)

bawnBeag

How do you get this without registering?

bawnBeag

Also is it unlocked?

KilOit

Thanks, got 1 before for €170 and many failed orders. clicked to collect instore instead so hopefully works.

Thought the vodafone website was the worst site i've ever visited but looks like boards.ie has claimed that throne now😐️

upandcumming

Is this the 5G edition does anyone know? Can't see anything on the VF page.

machiavellianme

No, that's called the 4a 5g. It has a bigger screen than this one. Sells for about 300 more.

Has anyone unlocked this?

It comes unlocked.

shatners bassoon

It's unlocked. I had loads of issues trying to get it at 179, none this time.

How did you get it at 179? Is there a code? EDIT: Nevermind, I realise you were talking about the last time this offer was up!

beardo81

Just be aware from the features, this is actually a 5.8" display, not 6.5" as per the website.

beardo81

A question from a non-Vodafone customer - do you also have to select a top-up of €20 before buying the phone?

You just select what pay as you go plan you want to use with the phone,you don't pay anything just the price of the phone

Is there anything in the fine print about having to get X amount of credit or anything like that.

Don't have a Voafone store near me so would anyone have an issue gettign it posted out?

No extra costs. It's 199, unlocked. I'm using my Three sim in it now. Postage took 3 working days.

Mr_Muffin

So I can buy this phone and stick my Three simcard in, and it'll work?

shatners bassoon

Yep

CyberGhost

Thank you very much, OP!

Bought one.

KilOit

Still payment pending for me, ordered yesterday. Another failed order i guess

thenightman

Not letting me order one at all now, better than last time with multiple orders I suppose!

Del007

I had to use microsoft for it to work, it wouldn't go through for me with chrome

Cookiee

Bought from Vodafone the pixel 4a for my mam last week and the pixel 4a 5G for my boyfriend, they both came unlocked and you don't have to pay for the simcard or top it up, took 2 days to arrive, amazing value, pixel 4a is 199€ and 5g one is €329, can't beat that value! I especially love that you don't have to pay for the simcard or top it up, I thought you might but no!

cormie

Went through for me, money taken off card, chose to collect at a store. There was an order number on the browser page, but they said I'd get a confirmation email which I haven't gotten yet. Sounds like a similar thing to when previous orders ended up failing from the VF website :(

cormie

So I got the "Your online store order has been received" with the order number, but nothing about it being ready for collection from the store I selected. I chanced going in to the store anyway and the rep was asking had I not received the email saying it was ready for collection, he went back to check with the manager and came out and said it's fine, did a few bits on the computer, handed me the phone and sim and off I went.

Thanks for the alert :)

Try accessing the offer via the Supervalu Real Rewards page and see if a promo code box appears at the checkout:

You have to switch the number. Then it appears.

It's €100 off from €199. I'm trying to order it now for €99. But the server is crashing it seems.

shatners bassoon

Gone through for me - great deal!

CyberGhost

Got one too. For €99, this is an absolute steal! Amazing offer.

VSFV12 - Thanks @darconio

dan786

Got it for 99 as well. Thank you.

Now just to see how long before it gets cancelled.

Cookiee

Damn of course this 99€ offer comes up a few days after I bought a pixel 4a, oh well, still got it for 199€ which is better than the price direct from Google, I also don't want to switch networks to Vodafone so it's ok I suppose

chipfox

I still can't manage to get the screen to put the code in! Can anyone explain to me or is the offer gone?

GalwayGaillimh

Got a 4A for €99 thanks for the alert :-) tried ordering another but promo box was gone even via SuperValu....anyways got confirmation email and can see status is submitted by logging into Vodafone but sure long way to go yet before you get an actual phone as Vodafone forever cancel orders for no reason used to be like Russian roulette last year trying to get a 3A so fingers crossed ordering has improved since then...

muffinhead

How does the Pixel 4a compare with the Redmi Note 10 5G also at €99?

lordsheepface

How in the name of all that is awful do I subscribe to email alerts of new posts in this thread?

Scroll to the top of the page, there's an icon on the top right beside the thread title (a star on mobile, a bookmark on desktop) that you click/tap to bookmark a thread.

Then make sure the check box under email for "Notify me when people comment on my bookmarked discussions." on https://boards.ie/profile/preferences/ is checked.

GalwayGaillimh

And order cancelled so ordering is still Russian roulette....

CyberGhost

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117629457#Comment_117629457

How do you know it was cancelled? I received a confirmation email. But nothing else.

newincity

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117628071#Comment_117628071

Do we have to actually switch to Vodafone or just select option and place an order since phone is unlocked

PS: Don't have a spare number to switch:(

matzen

Bit of a problem if you're using another provider which is on the VF network. For example AnPost Mobile - it's recognised as a VF customer for some reason...

cormie

So it's saying 5G on the ad, but it's not the 5G model? And it's also saying €159.99, but it's normal price is showing as €199.99 and the offer brings it to €99.99?

Has anyone managed to put in the code since to bring it down to €99.99? Do you need an old sim card from another network to switch from, or there's a way around that?

shatners bassoon

Cancelled for me too

db

Cancelled - looks like the Vodafone troll is alive and well

Raoul

Vodafone are an absolute joke

Del007

Did ye get an email to say it was cancelled?

bifl

Absoloute mess of a site. At one point the only way it would let me continue and pay was to not click on the T&C. Seriously when I clicked on T&C the Pay button greyed out 🙄 . Of course the order didn't process in the end.

So I've an old three sim and used that to switch. Selected 'Not a Vodafone Customer' then 'Keep My Number' and they send a verification text. Luckly the sim still seems to accept texts. Then later on it let me input the Promo Code which brought it from €199 to €99. So on the second attempt it's gone through this morning payment taken with a confimation mail on the order.

Let's wait and see if it get to shipping though...
