Google Pixel 4A - euro 179 on Vodafone

Tried for the 5th or 6th time today 😹 this is the first time I have received an order confirmation email, so fingers crossed.

The buying process was a bit different this week, maybe they updated their systems.

Either way, if some of you folks still have hopes, that's what I did: Cleared cookies, used new email address and new phone number for the delivery. Delivery address and payment card (Revolut MC) was the same as previously with unsuccessful tries.

Cancelled

Would Vodafone have any stock of this phone in shops or is it online only. I don't mind paying 280 for it, that's still 100 cheaper than buying from Google.

Yeah they're in certain stores too. Good luck ringing up and getting through, Blanchardstown don't seem to monitor the phones anyway. Also, opening hours information isn't right on Google so keep that in mind too.

Still waiting on mine to be dispatched/cancelled. All I've gotten is the confirmation email! Went with a new number from vodafone as opposed to switching. Whole thing seems totally randomized.

You can check the order status through your vf account. It will show the current status, as there's no cancellation email. If it's more than a day since the order and still no dispatch notification you were unlucky, I'm afraid.

Thanks everyone, I didn't realise people were actually getting successful deliveries of the 4a at €179.99, so I just tried and put an order through myself, just as a new customer in an incognito window and using a different email address than my usual VF account email and it went through fine. Guessing a high chance it'll still be cancelled. But just to double check, I don't need to cancel anything when it arrives for the €20 plan, I can just put the sim into a drawer if I ever need a spare and ignore it and use the phone from the get go, right?

If you get the dispatch email (usually sent some hours after the order confirmation email then you should be fine.
The phone comes unlocked so you can use any SIM you want straight away. There's no need to do anything with the vodafone SIM to activate the phone or anything.

Maybe troll has a day off

For anyone who has been trying it may be worth another go.

I’ve had 13 orders cancelled!!!

I’d given up really but tried once more this morning as I knew offer is over tomorrow. Got a confirmation but wasn’t too excited as that’s happened maybe 4/5 previously

However I’ve since received an email with tracking number. So I’m bit hopeful but until I have phone in my hand I’ll not take it as sorted

I used my regular Vodafone account, same email, card etc. Nothing different

So maybe some glitch is sorted, might be worth another go for anyone who’s failed previously

It’s bizarre really. Why that worked for me today, I did zero different. Wasn’t even going to try but was sitting in front of tv doing nothing so chances it.

I’m still waiting for something else to go wrong

i am tempted to try again...lost count of my failed attempts...did the screen flicker after making payment and just before the customer survey.

Yes it was spinning and loading for ages. So I just assumed it was failing again because last 6 or 7 times I’ve just got an error in final page and didn’t get as far as an order number etc
So was somewhat surprised when it got to final page and gave me an order number and instant confirmation email. Still expected it to be cancelled like previously but got email with tracking number an hour later, nearly fell off my seat when that arrived
Sums up the Vodafone website when you’re surprised that you may have actually managed to order something

So if anyone was unsuccessful previously I’d try it , maybe something has fixed on site. As far as I’m aware the €179 price is finished tomorrow

Well done benji

Tempted to try one more time tomorrow when the money comes back onto my card

Tried again...after one hour the order is showing cancelled...not surprised....not again.

Cancelled again here, having received confirmation email...

I did not use my existing account this time so how can I check if mine has been cancelled as I used a new email address?
