    The link online seems faulty but I was able to buy instore.
    You might have to buy a 10 euro Vodafone top up too ,I didnt though.

    Vodafone have it for 109.99 ,40 euro off
    http://shop.vodafone.ie/shop/phones/huawei-p8-lite-2017-pay-as-you-go-black

    90 euro for a phone of this quality is a steal .
    Just wondering if the phone is network locked to Vodafone and does it have bloatware installed?

    Still seems to be 129.99? It appears Huawei are announcing new models next month so current ones knocked down.

    I had to buy instore to get it for 89.99 ,its incorrectly displaying the price as 129.99 online.

    I just ported over a spare Tesco Mobile sim I had .
    If you can get a free sim from a providor ,just use that to port.

    I have this phone and paid 160 for it only 3 months ago (and at the time even that was a major deal as it was ~200 in most places).

    It's a decent phone with good specs, though it's not the quickest even with 3GB of RAM. The other main drawback is only 16GB of storage, and Huawei have disabled the option to merge internal and SD so you can easily run out of space for installing apps. However for €90 it's definitely a bargain compared to other phones in that price range.

    Anyone actually manage to get the Huawei phone for 89 e today.

    I called to carphonewarehouse and the said that there was a problem with ports and their system since last Friday, so I couldn't get it today.

    Do you know if the second sim can be activated so as the phone can be used as a dual sim ?

    Bought this phone for 149 on Eir and can't fault it. Great screen, very nippy and top battery life.
    I've been using it intensively over the last few weeks and have yet to have to charge it during the day. Highly recommended!!

    Would like to keep number.
    Use any old sim lying around?(not sure what number is on it mind you)

    Would like to unlock phone and use current sim in phone.
    Is it doable?

    Would be grateful for a source of unlocking as well. Bought one today for an early Christmas Present. Sensational value.
