What is the best phone in this deal? I have Huawei 9 smart 2019 model

Xiaomi by the look of it

Maybe The Samsung if you want to spend a bit more

According to vodafone, TCL, Google Pixel 5, Xiaomi, Redmi and Oppo phones purchased from Vodafone Ireland are already unlocked.

porting from 48 it's on the no-no list. they can't say outright what network they target to steal port the customers from, they'll just make the not interested porting list longer

anyone have any experience of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G?

I have one. Unbelievable deal for €69. And yes, dual SIM and unlocked.

Ya seems to be a mega deal on the Xiaomi

I'm gonna make a few sacrifices and get one tomorrow.

I assume I'll have no problems with an eir sim

Does it have NFC ? GSMArena suggests bit may be market dependent and both Vida and 3 don't mention it .

It seems you have to sign up to a recurring PAYG plan, at 20 a month, or am I mistaken?

Yes, got one for the wife. It has NFC.

I don't think you're committed. You can choose not to top up from this wording. 'Your offer will re-activate every time you top up by €20 or more in one go'.

Does anyone know what networks they do/don't allow to port from.

I wasn't able to port in form 48 earlier this year on these offers.

At sub €100 for the phones a 20euro prepay SIM from Three/Eir is probably worth it if they work

Finally got the order through on a 48 SIM card. It took a lot of persistence. The website is very buggy.

how do you buy them? not giving me the discounted price

Are you selecting keep my number? if not the price is 169.99.

MarkR

What's the cheapest way to pick up the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G 64GB? I don't want to cancel my current contract, so can I just order another 48 sim, and port that in? Or is there another suggested network sim?

The Mulk

Mine went through with a Lyca Mobile SIM- 089 number. The only issue I have is my e-mail address was wrong. Hopefully that won't matter as I got the confirmation text to the SIM and a confirmation number on the website.

The last time I did this I bought a €10 eir sim bought in an eir shop and used that to "keep my number". Then, as the phone was unlocked, just bunged in my normal sim and off we go. Dunno if eircom still offer 10 euro sims though.

The 128GB is the same price as the 64GB

GBX

Some people have had success using a 48 sim to port and get the €100 off on previous deals but if trying, bear in mind you might get through the ordering process only for them to cancel.

fdevine

I've used free eir sims for these offers multiple times. Never any issue. Don't see free sims from eir at the moment although I could be wrong.

That might happen regardless of sim. Its shockingly poor online shop/system.

Sound. Thanks.

Yes, but when you add it to the basket it changes back to a 64GB model! 🤔 At least on the mobile; I'll try the full website later...

MarkR

Well, bought a phone I didn't need. :-) Picked up a lyca sim for free, didn't even need to activate it. Could only seem to get the blue one to go through for 128 gb. Thanks OP

artvanderlay

Does anyone know which of the the phones under €100 (including switch and save offer) are locked to the Vodafone network? I was looking at Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G especially for my mother who's with Eir: is it unlocked? I googled it and couldn't get a straight answer. Thanks.

mfceiling

I got it in the summer and it was unlocked. Threw my 3 SIM into it and away I went.

positron

I see they have Google Pixel 6 @ 599 - That is €50 cheaper than Google Store. Although there's a thread on HUKD about Vodafone UK selling it much cheaper (£449 iirc).

Lovely. I'll give it a go so, although the hours I will have to spend repeating the same things to my mother about how to work the phone will negate the buzz of getting a bargain. No good deed goes unpunished :)
