Guess I'm just lucky, because....

I have ported from Eir to Vodafone with a free SIM from Eir, and no credit ever having been put on it. All I had to do was receive a call on the number in-store.

I got free headphones, and a free month of X without paying a cent towards anything.

I asked about the free month and they said something about offers for that in Universities for students but I got the code for the headphones.

Do I top up with the 20 euro first and then text to opt in to Sport for example?

Text for the offer first and then top up

How do I text without the credit?

There is normally 50c credit on the sim to allow you to get set up

The Vodafone rep in the shop we visited yesterday implied that Eir was preventing the number being ported over without a top-up first and the aforementioned 3 calls - she did ring the Eir number from the shop without a problem, but the port was rejected by Eir, according to her. This was confirmed by the Eir shop we then bought the credit from, so who knows? Perhaps they've tightened up the rules since?

Vodafone also then refused to consider giving us the headphone offer/paperwork without paying the €20 first. The free month of Vodafone X will be credited somewhere down the line, she assured us. Unfortunately, you're stuck with whatever these particular shops insist on - we have no other Vodafone or Eir outlet within 50 miles.

I just get not delivered when I try text it to the number they provided on the leaflet for some reason. I am texting Sport to 50222

Not sure what the other response to me from the other person is about. I asked a question and I’m told I don’t like the answer. Very strange response, I must have upset them somehow.

Following on from having to top up a free Eir sim to get the X headphone deal. I've just checked with my local post office about a free sim for Post Mobile - no joy, as I'm told I must pay €20 top-up to get it

I'd be interested to know if people are very recently managing to get this Vodafone X headphone deal with a free sim/no top-up from another provider - and from where exactly?

Or do these various outlets make up their own rules as they go along, since so many people seem to be experiencing different results?

What store was that? Liffey Valley insisted on me calling them last time I ported a number to them.

Now that I think about it, it was when I ported to Vodafone to get my Huawei P8 Lite, and that was done in Carphone Warehouse in Nutgrove.

For the Vodafone X deal, I ported with a 3 SIM that had zero credit on it (but has had credit in the past). As mentioned earlier in the thread, I wasn't even present for it. Someone else said that I wanted to port to Vodafone, I confirmed via a Whatsapp message, and it was done.

Just sums up how it's luck of the draw who you get processing a port on any given day.

The very same happened to me I had to top up by a fiver before the text would work.

Would it be possible to get this headphones deal then go back to your original provider without topping up? I got a good discount on a P20 Lite and a code for the headphones but would prefer to go back to Tesco mobile as the rest of the family are with Tesco

:rolleyes:

For anyone who ordered their headphones, approximately how long did it take for your order to process/ ship. I ported over my number on Friday, placed my order online and was advised that I would receive an email as to when they’ll ship. However, I’ve had no update since.

bonjurkes · 15-04-2019 11:38PM

order day plus 2 days for headphones to be delivered, you don't get email about your items getting shipped, it just appears in your mailbox.

Wanderer41 · 15-04-2019 11:54PM

I ported last week and when I went to order my headphones it told me my code was invalid ðŸ™ I contacted them but still waiting on follow up. I just hope they won't sell out.

Thanks for the replies, my headphones arrived today - delighted

This seemed better than the expired 'Student' deal I'm on because Spotify is included. I'm assuming you get to spend the €20 credit on add-ons in addition to the stated bundles?

No the 20 credit is used to activate the offer so you have a balance of zero after topping up.

On the Student X deal and got €20 free credit from Vodafone for my birthday, can't argue with that.

Yes got the same a while ago. Since must of what I don’t is part for the bundle that credit will do me for a while.

( Handy for a young person who) I never go over ,he always does

The extra 5GB is only for the unlimited weekend plan. Maybe you’re on that one and he’s on the Spotify or Sky Sports one?

ahhhhh,thank you,yes he's on Spotify,so didn't receive it,wasted my time on PAYG customer care yesterday for an hour ( silly boy) but as a VF home broadband and 2 PAYG in the house thought I'd be able to persuade them to give him the extra 5 GB also, again thanks for clearing that up for us.

My credit is out in 3 days, if I top up today do I lose those 3 days?

Yes, any remaining plan balances go to zero and a new 28 days starts (unless top up is LESS than 20).
