    Locked to Vodafone

    Used an EIR number to switch - will be used with VF SIM going forward

    Yes, it's dual SIM, plus AFAIK you can use both SIMs and a TF card unline some phones where the second SIM occupies the TF space

    IIRC an unlock code can be requested from VF depending on your spend and previous requests. Not dependent on phone

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

    Do you have a non-Vodafone SIM to hand? AFAIK as long as there is a Vodafone SIM in slot 1, the second slot should accept a SIM from any network even though it's not unlocked.

    Appears I was wrong.

    My son just checked his A21s there with an Eir SIM and both slots are registering so phone appears to be supplied unlocked

    Second phone bought is a Xmas present so can't check that one

    Most recent Samsung phones are factory unlocked by default if they are dual sim.

    I think there is a problem with 48 or it was Lyca.

    It'll work fine but the question is by the time you get it, will there be any stock left?

    I always make sure to have a stock of unused 48 SIMs to hand to be ready to pounce!

    Order the free ones from eir as they are accepted in all the Vodafone porting offers. Sometimes lyca, 48 and Tesco are excluded so better safe than sorry.

    Trying to order online, is there anyway to bypass the verification code requirement for existing numbers?

    How else do you envision the site checking if you are in possession of ported number?

    1 of my orders have gone through so far, it's with anpost. Others are still "awaiting info" for tracking, so might be cancelled but at least one went through.

    Security answers on your account. Verified by Visa passcode is a requirement on lot of purchases, but your bank can bypass the requirement, once you answer security questions to prove ownership.

    How do you get around the 'switching to vodafone' question, if you don't want to switch?
