    I managed to get an order through a few weeks back by....

    Using a different browser. I had used chrome first time, edge second time. I'm sure clearing the browser history, etc would have the same effect. Using a different device or incognito mode may also do the trick.

    I also rebooted my router (mobile broadband), so as the provider assigned a new IP address to the router. This won't work if your on a static IP. If unsure, try it anyway.

    Thanks, latest order was made after being logged into my VF broadband account and was still cancelled.

    Have tried different PCs (home/work), different SIMs (48/Lyca), different cards (debit/credit/Bank/Revolut), different emails (mine/wifes/daughters)

    Successfully bought one in Feb for wife with no hassle whatsoever, need a new fone for myself now but no luck on ordering this

    I wonder have they flagged your address or something from the previous purchase, if you ported a burner number that was never used they might query it?


    Have you tried ordering with click and collect without address?

    FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.

    You don't have to take a 'smart' meter if you don't want one, opt-out is available.

    Buy drinks in 3L or bigger plastic bottles or glass bottles to avoid the DRS fee.

    I'm the same theShire. 7 or 8 cancellations. Tried different combinations, email address, names, delivery address, cards but they keep getting cancelled due to technical reasons. No explanation. Ordered one already early this year but cannot seem to get another.

    I got the Hauwei P30Lite on the same deal some time last year when that was on offer. Think I had a spare eir PAYG sim for that. Put this one through on a 48 sim.
    Done it all on the phone, chrome browser. Same postal address for both orders

    Gave it another go 2day and this evening it's showing as cancelled

    My last attempt is click and collect. Haven't been able to track the order as I get the error "we cannot match the email address you provided with your order." Yet, I received the original order acknowledgement using the same email address. :rolleyes:

    I got one a few weeks ago with click and collect easy enough, took them 15 minutes of messing about in the shop when I was collecting though.

    Ye, it's dual sim and still a space for memory card, unlocked, 4G, 128GB, & NFC. I ordered click and collect early on a weekday morning and got a text at 17:50 that day telling me it was ready for collection.

    It's looking like you might have to do it in person in store so and pay for the €20 top up they make you buy.


    Last time I had to do this I asked them not to top up the number and was able give the credit to a relative who was on VF.

    Just tried local store, fone in stock but won't allow porting from Tesco, 48 or Lyca

    Told them that's not mentioned anywhere in T&C's and they're losing sales and walked out.

    Total joke.....

    It worked fine for me ordering the fone for the wife in February, 48 SIM ported to VF which is still active.

    It makes no sense that it works randomly for some 48/Lyca SIMs...

    Think I'm gonna have to call it quits on this one... just no luck...

    That's very annoying, they were wrong about 48.

    Is there an option now to pick up the phone store when you buy it over the Internet.

    Or can I go into a Vodafone shop with my eir sim and get the phone for 99e or is it only an Internet offer.

    Was it a throw away 48 SIM or one that you've been using for a while/registered/topped-up etc..

    Tried order to relatives address/email and order cancelled again....

    So it's either the 48 number that's porting in or the payment card causing the problem for me

    Click and collect finally worked. Collected the phone today. Funny the order number I had didn't match the order they had in store. Used a 48 SIM.

    Might be a stupid question but which is better? I'd only be using 4g.

    Thanks for that, great deal.

    I'm trying to order it now, as a new customer switching to Vodafone but it still shows as €199 for me and I have to buy a €20 top up - is this happening anyone else?
