TCL 10L appears to be unlocked, tried a GOMO SIM and was able to receive incoming calls.

One thing to note is it's a single SIM, thought specs online mentioned dual but the tray is SD + SIM and no mention of secondary SIM in settings.

This is a gift for a relative so not using myself but will report any feedback I get.

I picked one up today and it is indeed unlocked. I was forced to top up by 20 euro on my new (unwanted) vodafone SIM though so it cost 80 in the end. I queried it but he said I had do this to get the 100 euro off the phone.

Great phone for the money though. Very snappy and has NFC which is a big one for me.

Sales rep in my local vodafone shop did say it will be back in stock instore and online with that price for switchers, no date, stock issue only.

Anyone else see the Xiaomi UK offers from today, just spotted this on twitter

From what I can remember the images for the Note 10 + Band on VF looked very similar.

Any chance VF put the offer up too early and had to pull it? Might be worth keeping en eye on it over the next few days

Got my order through using a 48 SIM, confirmation email received, fingers crossed.

Wouldn't hold my breath. Was in the same boat, order was cancelled overnight.

Fantastic I see it. So just say you are moving to Vodafone and €20 plan and you pay €120 job done, right? If you say getting a new number you don't get the deal But it asks me when I want to switch to Vodafone? I'm on Lycamobile. What do in order to not switch? Sorry to have to repeat but I can't figure it.

No, if you give your own number it WILL be moved to Vodafone!

You need to use a SIM from 48/Eir/Gomo with a new number and then use that to port to VF and get €100 off bringing the Note 10 down to €99.99

Sorry for the stupid question. If I'm on the GoMo network this offer is no use unless I switch to VF?

You can still buy the phone and use it on GOM, (I am), you will just have to use a different sim to buy it, like one from Eir or 48.

Another order cancelled due to a 'rare technical glitch'

At this stage between the Note 9/Note 10/TCL 10L I can count ~10 orders cancelled since April due to a 'rare technical glitch', tried 3 different numbers and 4 payment cards.

fairly pi**ed off ðŸ€¬

Ordered the redmi 10 last night. Got a tracking number for An Post. Will it go through?

If you got the tracking number it's on the way, should probably have it Tuesday.

If u do the click & collect from store option, do u get an email telling u when it's ready for collection & do u have to collect it in person or can somebody else collect it for u??

Thanks for your patience. So you then throwaway the new SIM, put your old sim in and your are sorted for 120?

TheSheriff · 05-07-2021 10:34pm

Tried to order again for the other half... cancelled again. 48 sim.

Ten Pin · 05-07-2021 11:11pm

Yes, except for throwing the SIM away...keep it for when another bargain appears where a Vodafone SIM could be used.

You get a text message for collection to the number you ported (so make sure you have it on in a phone).

They ask for ID on collection so presumably whoever paid for it has to collect it.

they don't take the 20 for credit, so it's just 100.

Ten Pin · 06-07-2021 11:01am

they don't take the 20 for credit, so it's just 100.

Others have said that in-store purchase required 20e top up so best to do click and collect or buy online although online is hit and miss with orders cancelled.

meathman0 · 06-07-2021 12:12pm

Ordered on Sunday, no dispatch note, arrived today, €100, suppose I don't need top up

Quick one, did you select the 64GB/128GB model and what did you receive?
Only noticed there yesterday that they've both listed for the same price/discount

I was trying the 128gb, went all the way to payment and failed, selected the 64GB and order went through, the one I received was the 12GB.

Sound! I'm no where near a shop. It seems I have to wait 5 days to get posted a 48.sim

grahamfitness · 06-07-2021 4:23pm

Does anyone have any feedback on the Note 10 5g or the TCL 10 pro handsets?

Thanks

Hi Is this handset locked to a network

boardtc · 15-07-2021 12:42pm

In case this helps anyone navigate, what I did to just complete a successful order for €99.99 😅

Go to https://48.ie, create an account and order a free sim, must be done online
When 48.ie sim arrived (3 days), go to 48 and enter 4 digit activation code on sim, this shows you the phone number on the web page
Put the 48.ie sim in a phone and the 48 network is picked up
Go to https://n.vodafone.ie/shop/phones/xiaomi/redmi-note-10-5g.html
Select 128GB, Not a Vodafone customer, Keep my number, Choose top up offer Vodafone X and press continue
You are asked to enter your 48.ie number
Enter the 4 digit code sent to the 48.ie sim and it's verified
Uncheck create account, enter payment for the handset only, not for the pay as you go payment plan 😅😝

You forgot the last step...

* Wait for confirmation/dispatch email which never comes, contact support who tell you a 'rare technical glitch occurred and your order is cancelled' for the 12th time (yes TWELVE using 3 different SIMs, 3 names/addresses, 2 debit cards, 2 credit cards)

gabbo is coming · 15-07-2021 4:15pm

Both of mine came through no issue

Order confirmation mail within the hour

No dispatch or tracking email, but both arrived working day later + 1

Oh Jeepers, that sucks. I got the purchase confirmation email quickly, my bank account was charged this afternoon, I expect to get it early next week, fingers crossed ✌️🙏

go4it · 15-07-2021 7:52pm

noticed that on the Supervalu app , under their usual offers for insurance - holiday- and the like, there's a vodafone offer with money off some phones.

Original price / reduced price doesn't match the Vodafone site, but might be useful to others : Pixel 4a reduced to 160 ; Huawei P40 Lite 5G reduced to 150e ; Nokia 3.4 reduced to 65e

If already vf payg customer they offer 100e off from Xiaomi Mi 11Lite , but doesn't say what's the original price

Tried to buy Note 9, then Note 10, then TCL10L since mid April.

Funds were authorized/held but refunded within a few days.

Did get order confirmation emails, just no other correspondence, had to contact support with order # to check status.

I did manage to buy the TCL10L in another transaction for a relative. Seems like a good fone for their use.

I'll try order the Note 10 again in a week or so, current fone touch panel is separating from the screen so need something soon

€229.99 (original price - €329.99)

baldshin · 16-07-2021 8:36am

So, Vodafone cancelled my order, but still ported my number over. Should I have any recourse here?

theShire · 16-07-2021 10:38am

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117618322#Comment_117618322

I thought they only ported the number after delivery of the handset?

Did u select a specific date/time to port while ordering?

On a previous order my handset was delivered at home and the number I ported went out of service while at work, it was a throwaway SIM so didnt cause me any harm but would be fairly screwed if it was my own number.

If it's ur own personal number I'd cause war with them; if u used a throwaway number then I'd ignore it and move on, or u could port it back to 48 again in a few days?

Of course you do, if they cancelled the order but took your number then they've essentially stolen your phone number. If they don't revert back for you get onto comreg.

baldshin · 16-07-2021 4:48pm

It was a throwaway sim so I'm not overly fussed, just a bit irked! Tried to order multiple times a few weeks back and kept being cancelled so I gave up. When I saw them in stock locally again for pickup I decided to try again to get one as a birthday present, only to discover the number had been ported.

spuddy01 · 22-07-2021 2:23pm

Great bargain ordered for mother in law with an old 3 sim & was delivered 3 days after. Fantastic price for a phone of that spec €99.99 cant really go wrong can you.Thanks for the info, scored some brownie points on this one 😁 Can anybody recommend a good case for this redmi note 10 5g if ye have found one thanks 👍️

boardtc · 23-07-2021 12:56pm

Having had it for a few days now, I am delighted with the redmi note 10 5g.

The only think it's missing for me is NFC if you like using google pay...I use my watch so I don't mind.

gabbo is coming · 23-07-2021 6:34pm

It has nfc

mfceiling · 23-07-2021 7:32pm

Definitely has NFC. I'm using it constantly.

27-07-2021 9:22am

Maybe someone here could help me. On other Android phones I had you could drag down from the top and a search bar would come up that would search the entire phone e.g. docs, apps. Can't seem to access similar on the Note 9, anyone know a way? Thanks for any help.
