any difference between a vodofone a40 and a three a40 with a vodafone sim in sim 2 ?

Shouldn't be, apart from any difference in the pre-installed software and the operator's logo that appears on the screen at startup/shutdown.

A40 from Three is working perfectly for me anyway, using the Vodafone SIM for mobile data.

On H P30 lite both SIM are locked. We could not use SIM in another slot. I will recheck later today and confirm

Is that purchased from Three? Huawei P30 Lites from Vodafone only recognise one SIM.

Before this thread is banished to history maybe some more knowledgeable could help me.
I have never before bought a phone online and with my current phone on its last legs, I was interested in the Samsung A40 offer from Three @€; 89.99 which was mentioned here. I went to the Three store and was told the price was €189.99 and that the offer was online only.
On the Three site and the phone was indeed available at €89.99 on Three Pay so I filled out the form to purchase it.
This is when I began to have doubts, as the site would not allow the sale to continue until I picked a plan on Three Pay, which I did, having seen many on here buy phones and then buy an unlock code. What worries me is; Have I automatically signed up to a monthly plan and will my card be charged with that amount every month? This, in itself, wouldn't have been too bad , until I realised the only free calls were to other Three mobiles, so not such a good deal.
I realise I can just refuse delivery or return the phone under distance selling rules but I do really need a new phone. Any ideas?

You don't have to pay for credit when you buy the phone. I bought the exact phone on Three last week for 89.99 and only paid 89.99.

And you you just have just bought once off credit and have not signed a contract do not fear.

Edit: To explain further, you can still proceed to order the phone without buying any of these top up vouchers. Just don't select any of them.

Yes but you see that's what I did, I bought the €20 one because the site wouldn't allow me to go any further until I did. Strange thing was, the final cost was still €89.99.

I just looked at the site there, the first option under "pick your plan" allows you continue without buying a plan. These plans are prepay and can be cancelled anytime.

Didn't see that option. I wonder why I wasn't charged for it. How do you cancel them if it comes to that, just not activate the SIM?

Maybe you did choose the free option when you weren't charged the extra 20 for topping up.
When I was checking earlier I chose the 20 per month option and was charged €109 at checkout.
If you are charged the 20 at a later date just call 3 to cancel.

Marhay70 · 05-01-2020 11:59AM

Thanks for that lads, I was just worried I had signed up to a recurring charge.
The final charge was €89.99 but I had had trouble actually getting the site to accept my details. Turned out the sim Iwas planning the port with wasn't seated properly in the phone. Eventually got about six verification codes:rolleyes:

Order a few free Meteor sim cards and top up by a 5er. Buy 3 of these 120 quid. Bring two of them to CEX sell for 108 (125 if you get them unlocked).

Your left with a serious phone and 216 in your pocket.

Most likely, as I bought a dual sim Samsung a10 last year and came locked. They wouldn't unlock it even though I bought it prepay.

it is locked, but its usually about tenner to get it unlocked (from ebay)

Pity the Vodafone online ordering system is complete rubbish. It seems to be a lottery whether it manages to process an order. Often it will be take the money and then be unable to find the order after.

NATLOR · 13-11-2020 10:32PM

Just ordered one using a spare 48 SIM went through grand

It's a joke, happened to me when I tried to buy the Pixel and now it won't process anything for me.
