Enjoy 😀

Thank op. Hopefully they will honour this one. Last few orders on their site have been cancelled for me.

Shlippery · 15-07-2021 5:40pm

Great phone, great camera. Great bargain! Keen to pick one up myself.

(just don't break it - pain in the ass to get pixel screens repaired!)

bawnBeag · 15-07-2021 7:00pm

How do you get this without registering?

bawnBeag · 15-07-2021 7:01pm

Also is it unlocked?

KilOit · 15-07-2021 7:12pm

Thanks, got 1 before for €170 and many failed orders. clicked to collect instore instead so hopefully works.

Thought the vodafone website was the worst site i've ever visited but looks like boards.ie has claimed that throne now😐️

upandcumming · 15-07-2021 8:56pm

Is this the 5G edition does anyone know? Can't see anything on the VF page.

machiavellianme · 15-07-2021 9:58pm

No, that's called the 4a 5g. It has a bigger screen than this one. Sells for about 300 more.

Shipping notification this morning, so should be good this time. Thanks again op.

barry181091 · 16-07-2021 10:09am

Has anyone unlocked this?

16-07-2021 10:10am

It comes unlocked.

shatners bassoon · 16-07-2021 10:10am

It's unlocked. I had loads of issues trying to get it at 179, none this time.

barry181091 · 16-07-2021 10:56am

How did you get it at 179? Is there a code? EDIT: Nevermind, I realise you were talking about the last time this offer was up!

beardo81 · 16-07-2021 11:10am

Just be aware from the features, this is actually a 5.8" display, not 6.5" as per the website.

beardo81 · 16-07-2021 11:16am

A question from a non-Vodafone customer - do you also have to select a top-up of €20 before buying the phone?

chrisire · 16-07-2021 11:39am

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117619052#Comment_117619052

You just select what pay as you go plan you want to use with the phone,you don't pay anything just the price of the phone

Is there anything in the fine print about having to get X amount of credit or anything like that.

Don't have a Voafone store near me so would anyone have an issue gettign it posted out?

shatners bassoon · 16-07-2021 4:10pm

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117620469#Comment_117620469

No extra costs. It's 199, unlocked. I'm using my Three sim in it now. Postage took 3 working days.

Mr_Muffin · 16-07-2021 4:10pm

So I can buy this phone and stick my Three simcard in, and it'll work?

shatners bassoon · 16-07-2021 4:11pm

Yep

CyberGhost · 16-07-2021 6:19pm

Thank you very much, OP!

Bought one.

KilOit · 16-07-2021 7:03pm

Still payment pending for me, ordered yesterday. Another failed order i guess

thenightman · 16-07-2021 11:16pm

Not letting me order one at all now, better than last time with multiple orders I suppose!

Del007 · 17-07-2021 11:10am

I had to use microsoft for it to work, it wouldn't go through for me with chrome

Cookiee · 17-07-2021 11:15am

Bought from Vodafone the pixel 4a for my mam last week and the pixel 4a 5G for my boyfriend, they both came unlocked and you don't have to pay for the simcard or top it up, took 2 days to arrive, amazing value, pixel 4a is 199€ and 5g one is €329, can't beat that value! I especially love that you don't have to pay for the simcard or top it up, I thought you might but no!

cormie · 17-07-2021 11:32am

Went through for me, money taken off card, chose to collect at a store. There was an order number on the browser page, but they said I'd get a confirmation email which I haven't gotten yet. Sounds like a similar thing to when previous orders ended up failing from the VF website :(

cormie · 18-07-2021 2:20am

So I got the "Your online store order has been received" with the order number, but nothing about it being ready for collection from the store I selected. I chanced going in to the store anyway and the rep was asking had I not received the email saying it was ready for collection, he went back to check with the manager and came out and said it's fine, did a few bits on the computer, handed me the phone and sim and off I went.

Thanks for the alert :)

darconio · 18-07-2021 12:03pm

Try accessing the offer via the Supervalu Real Rewards page and see if a promo code box appears at the checkout:

You have to switch the number. Then it appears.

It's €100 off from €199. I'm trying to order it now for €99. But the server is crashing it seems.

shatners bassoon · 18-07-2021 3:54pm

Gone through for me - great deal!

CyberGhost · 18-07-2021 4:00pm

Got one too. For €99, this is an absolute steal! Amazing offer.

VSFV12 - Thanks @darconio

dan786 · 18-07-2021 4:07pm

Got it for 99 as well. Thank you.

Now just to see how long before it gets cancelled.

Cookiee · 18-07-2021 4:12pm

Damn of course this 99€ offer comes up a few days after I bought a pixel 4a, oh well, still got it for 199€ which is better than the price direct from Google, I also don't want to switch networks to Vodafone so it's ok I suppose

chipfox · 18-07-2021 4:14pm

I still can't manage to get the screen to put the code in! Can anyone explain to me or is the offer gone?

GalwayGaillimh · 18-07-2021 5:03pm

Got a 4A for €99 thanks for the alert :-) tried ordering another but promo box was gone even via SuperValu....anyways got confirmation email and can see status is submitted by logging into Vodafone but sure long way to go yet before you get an actual phone as Vodafone forever cancel orders for no reason used to be like Russian roulette last year trying to get a 3A so fingers crossed ordering has improved since then...

muffinhead · 18-07-2021 5:47pm

How does the Pixel 4a compare with the Redmi Note 10 5G also at €99?

lordsheepface · 18-07-2021 7:04pm

How in the name of all that is awful do I subscribe to email alerts of new posts in this thread?

Scroll to the top of the page, there's an icon on the top right beside the thread title (a star on mobile, a bookmark on desktop) that you click/tap to bookmark a thread.

Then make sure the check box under email for "Notify me when people comment on my bookmarked discussions." on https://boards.ie/profile/preferences/ is checked.

GalwayGaillimh · 18-07-2021 9:11pm

And order cancelled so ordering is still Russian roulette....

CyberGhost · 19-07-2021 2:04am

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117629457#Comment_117629457

How do you know it was cancelled? I received a confirmation email. But nothing else.

newincity · 19-07-2021 8:07am

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117628071#Comment_117628071

Do we have to actually switch to Vodafone or just select option and place an order since phone is unlocked

PS: Don't have a spare number to switch:(

matzen · 19-07-2021 9:08am

Bit of a problem if you're using another provider which is on the VF network. For example AnPost Mobile - it's recognised as a VF customer for some reason...

cormie · 19-07-2021 9:09am

So it's saying 5G on the ad, but it's not the 5G model? And it's also saying €159.99, but it's normal price is showing as €199.99 and the offer brings it to €99.99?

Has anyone managed to put in the code since to bring it down to €99.99? Do you need an old sim card from another network to switch from, or there's a way around that?

shatners bassoon · 19-07-2021 9:25am

Cancelled for me too

db · 19-07-2021 9:35am

Cancelled - looks like the Vodafone troll is alive and well

Raoul · 19-07-2021 9:52am

Vodafone are an absolute joke

Del007 · 19-07-2021 10:05am

Did ye get an email to say it was cancelled?

bifl · 19-07-2021 10:10am

Absoloute mess of a site. At one point the only way it would let me continue and pay was to not click on the T&C. Seriously when I clicked on T&C the Pay button greyed out 🙄 . Of course the order didn't process in the end.

So I've an old three sim and used that to switch. Selected 'Not a Vodafone Customer' then 'Keep My Number' and they send a verification text. Luckly the sim still seems to accept texts. Then later on it let me input the Promo Code which brought it from €199 to €99. So on the second attempt it's gone through this morning payment taken with a confimation mail on the order.

Let's wait and see if it get to shipping though...
