        As I said, the phone number you put there is just for the postman in case he can't find your house. :)

        Checked with VF Chat before returning the €90 A21s having ordered a €40 one last night. As I'd opted out of all communications during ordering I didn't get a confirmation email ut had screengrabbed the order number. Chat confirmed the latest order has gone through so hopefully I've saved myself €40+

        I got on to Chat, not very clear answer from them to be honest.

        Told me my order is under process with dedicated team.
        I asked if any idea when it will be shipped and she said to know order status I can contact @anpost.ie.
        Said I could use a number she gave me for shipping id.
        Tried the number on the an post tracking site, and they don't have it.

        Ah sure it will come when it comes.
        It was a white one by the way

        There is zero chance of the postman calling you if they can’t find your house.

        Hi

        Does the checkout process actually port your quoted number to Vodafone, or do you just need it for verification code to complete check out

        They port the number to Vodafone that's why people are using fake sims.

        Vodafone cancel orders randomly. It's like a lottery.

        OK thanks and how do you stop the recurring 20 a month PAYG fee, as soon as you get the phone, port the sim you used it to another provider?

        No. For the umpteenth time, the phone number you use when ordering the sim is just for delivery like when you order anything else online. It has nothing to do with the actual sim that arrives.

        Get a sim card you don't need( ie not your current number)

        Order phone using this throwaway number and tell VF you want to keep this number but want it ported to VF .

        Place order,when the order arrives,you will Place your sim card of the number you actually want to use into the phone and away you go.

        Wasn't told either. Apparently stock issues.. Yet both colours are in stock now and when I ordered.

        Live chat:

        "The website does not get updated on the real time basis as far as the stock of the device is concerned"

        As a telecoms company, they are appalling.
