Is there any way of doing this headfones offer online as no store in galway seem to have a clue about it

The T&Cs say it’s mandatory to go to the store.

* Free pair of Plantronics BackBeat 505 wireless headphones available to customers who present accessory voucher in store when switching to any Vodafone X plan from another network (excluding Lyca Mobile). To complete the order process the customer must then enter the unique code provided by our staff in-store into the online Vodafone accessory portal and claim their free headphones.
*Customers must top up by €20 in-store to be eligible for the offer

Not sure the reason, but it looks like to me the offer is intended to get people to physically go to the store and talk to a staff member.

Strange to hand those out with no commitment. For whatever reason they must have an old stock they want to dump.

Most people will port and stay with Vodafone so they are gaining a customer

Where are these codes available in order to sign up?

If you want the numbers to text for the different Vodafone x deals then it’s on the Vodafone website

I see some people mentioned free month as well as the headphones. Where is that available? I want to go for X Music with the headphones but wouldn’t mind free month too!

You don’t want much lol
Port to Vodafone in the Vodafone shop and you will get everything you mentioned provided they have any headphones left

Vodafone phone and chat support were useless when it came to details on free headfones offer. I had to go into store where they didn't seem to have clue about it but eventually found the flyer for it. Once ported they give you a leaflet with a unique code which you can go online with and order the free pair of plantronic headfones.

Didn't have info on free month though? Is this applied automatically the second month or how does it work?

The offer states to go to a shop with the screenshot of the deal, why would chat or phone support be helping you ? It’s a call centre in the middle of nowhere.
Free month comes in a few weeks and you get credit for registering your details on the Vodafone app

Cheers for the info in the free month. I originally rang two of the three stores in galeay as it is a 40km drive there are didn't want to arrive and not have the deal available. Two of the stores didn't have a clue of the offer and said they didn't think it existed. Told them it is online saying to call into stores but they both said well we don't have any codes here for it. Hence then tried contacting call centre/online to see why these stores didn't know anything of it. Thankfully in the third store one of the workers had taken in the codes as the other worker there didn't hear of offer. In end got it thankfully so happy to have got a 99€ set of headfones for free and now the extra month. Very impressed by it.

I was helping a friend to port to Vodafone for the X deal today. We got a free Eir sim in the Eir shop and then went across to the Vodafone shop for the X deal.

However, it wouldn't port with the free Eir Sim until she topped up (minimum €5) and made 3 x 1 minute calls on the Eir sim first. So, the Eir credit has to be effectively sacrificed for the Vodafone X deal.

It took quite a while to complete everything, so anyone else getting a free sim to port needs to be aware of the hoops. The headphones will be posted out and the free month will follow somewhere down the road is my understanding.

post mobile comes with a free month and is seamless to port, eir suck and i wouldnt even attempt to use their sim

If I'm pointing anyone towards the deal again I'll use that network, thanks. I presume you can get one free at any post office?

Delivered by post next working day

I received a text from Vodafone today stating the cost of the Spotify offer is increasing next month from €5 to €9!

I've cancelled mine I'll revert to boards family account

Just sign up to the X music offer and top up by 20 euro.

I don’t think it will last for much longer tbh.

Spotify is probably absorbing most of the revenue loss here as a way to expend market share, with very little cost to Vodafone if any. But this is not something they will do forever and as soon as they tell Vodafone that they need to see money coming their way for each of these “free” subscriptions, Vodafone will probably pass most of the bill to the end customer.

I think that is what happened with the price increase reported above.

Nah

You shouldn’t have to buy credit but you can send it to another Vodafone customer if you do
