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.

Gone through for me - great deal!

CyberGhost · 18-07-2021 04:00PM

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

VSFV12 - Thanks @darconio

dan786 · 18-07-2021 04:07PM

Got it for 99 as well. Thank you.

Now just to see how long before it gets cancelled.

Cookiee · 18-07-2021 04:12PM

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 04:14PM

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

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 05:47PM

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

lordsheepface · 18-07-2021 07:04PM

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 09:11PM

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

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

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:(

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 09:09AM

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 09:25AM

Cancelled for me too

db · 19-07-2021 09:35AM

Cancelled - looks like the Vodafone troll is alive and well

Raoul · 19-07-2021 09:52AM

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...

Raoul · 19-07-2021 10:28AM

No matter what I try, the promo code doesn't come up.

Vodafone don't send cancellation emails. You have to check status manually on their site. How nice of them.

db · 19-07-2021 11:01AM

It was cancelled almost immediately but not before they put a pending transaction on my card. I'm not too concerned about that as I went through it a few times before with the €179 offer. I thought this was compensation for us. I bet if I went with the €199 price it would work though.
