    If it's still the same as last year I'll be giving it a miss. Ordered three and got one. Took months to get my money back from them. I had to initiate a chargeback because their fb customer agent gave me the run around for weeks.

    I bought a phone last year and it seemed to have a fundamental fault. However I ended up going to comreg and even then, VF couldn't get the refund right. They used to be so good at dealing with things, not anymore.

    Bought the Samsung A40 from Three just before Christmas last year in a similar offer and it was dual-SIM. I wonder if the A21S is dual-SIM too?

    The thing with it is even though it's locked to Three, once a Three SIM is in one of the slots, the other slot will take any SIM. So I haven't bothered unlocking it.

    I've spent the last hour trying to get the order ro process. Get as far as entering my name and address and then I get error message and can't move onto the last stage to pay and complete the order.

    Its half working as I got an email to say I'd registered my account etc.

    Tried everything and no joy .

    Everyone needs to log formal complaints with them - they need to report stats up the line and in time, it'll be noticed.

    Thanks,

    I bought two black Samsung A21s using Lycamobile number to receive code. They both came unlocked and dual sim as well.

    The only flaw with the phone would seem to be the screen ,its 720 x 1600 pixels.
    Between now and the start of December is when Vodafone historically run their best offers on phones .

    I'm with tesco mobile. Say I were avail of this deal and get 100 euro off the A21 by switching to vodafone.
    I have no intention of staying with vodafone however my dad is with vodafone so could he put his sim card into the A21 and use it ?
    My plan then would be to switch from voafone to 48.
    Can anyone confirm this would work ?

    Thanks !

    Yes your plan would work but too much hassle. Just get a free Lycamobile number or request free 085 sim from Eir website, you can also get free Tesco sim if you but €15 top up.

    If they're planning on switching from Tesco Mobile to 48 anyway, adding in one extra step porting to Vodafone would seem to be the lesser hassle IMO.

    Thanks for the heads up OP, ordered a white A21s.

    After you've ordered, register with My Vodafone using the email you ordered with to keep tabs on your order. If you don't get an email with the security token using the registration process, go back to login and select the 'forgot password' option. That worked for me.

    They're asking for bank details for a recurring payment.

    How do those who are getting it unlocked and putting in their own sim get around that?

    Its a PAYG offer there are no recurring payments, you have to pick one of the PAYG plans to proceed but no obligation to buy and according to a poster above the phone is already unlocked

    Ok, but it eventually says "You will need your IBAN to proceed".

    It then presents a page to set up an account!!

    If you select a PAYG phone, it doesn't. You must have selected a billpay phone.

    I'm on this page....

    https://n.vodafone.ie/shop/phones/samsung/galaxy-a21s.html?gallery=payg

    There's a section named "Our Plans". Every plan is "€xx/every 4 weeks". You have to choose one to move on.

    Am I on the wrong page to begin with?

    I did but it still gives a recurring payment of €20.00 every 4 weeks and brings up the "Create an account below" page.

    Are you choosing "Keep my number" and "Pay as You go" on the next page?

    Yes. No issues.

    The '€20 every four weeks' message is just telling you the cost of the PAYG plan you're signing up for, it doesn't actually mean you're going to be automatically billed €20 every four weeks.
