Google Pixel 4A for €199 on Vodafone - No need to switch number

Sorry that wasn't clear, I reordered when webchat told me it had been cancelled. Got the phone in 2 days. I used the same name, address, phone no and burner 48 sim as the first effort.

I pursued the Vodafone ordering issues as far as I could with them.

Essentially what is happening is their offshore credit check team are reviewing all the online orders. They are cancelling anything that they think has "missing information" – even though every grain of information asked for has been provided. It doesn’t matter if you are a new or existing customer, there are people offshore manually reviewing each order. If they decide to cancel it, they will – no reason needs to be provided and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Customer just has to wait 5 to 7 days for the funds to be released.

If things go wrong - as they did for me in April where phone eventually shipped but was then lost in post - don't spend too much time dealing with Vodafone because it is honestly not worth the hassle. Speak to your bank and ask for a refund.

Vodafone are a dysfunctional organisation due to extreme offshoring of staff across many areas. I would strongly recommend either avoiding entirely or purchasing in store where possible.

Their customer support teams are some of the worst I’ve had to deal with in recent years. They are not capable of free thinking – if the option is not on their screen, they cannot help you. Plus how can all the negative customer feedback not be noticed and then investigated properly? I took it as far as I could, but it sounds like that was a waste of time because issues remain.

Simple things like sending an email to a customer about an order getting cancelled should be easily fixed but remain broken for months if not longer.

As a business, I also cannot understand how someone in their sales management team does not see an issue. Huge numbers of *payment approved* orders cancelled for no valid reason.

Anyways, I think they’re beyond useless. Not worth the grief regardless of the bargain.

Being there done that...the headache of chasing up orders when cancelled is a proper pain..

Is this offer still available and if not will it be back?

Is this phone unlocked ?

there's more detailed T&C's , but the important part is :

3.         Eligible customers who avail of this Offer will be given the following Offer benefit options:

a.          If they are moving to Vodafone Pay As You Go from another mobile operator; they will receive a €100 discount off either the Samsung Galaxy A22 5G, or a €100 discount off the TCL20 SE; OR,

b.         If they are an existing Vodafone Pay As You Go customers who is upgrading their handset; they will receive a €100 discount off the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G

 The Offer may only be availed of between 6th September – 31st October 2021 only. Eligible customers are Wrkit members who (i) have received a unique discount code from Wrkit; and, (ii) who switch their mobile number to Vodafone Pay As You Go from another network or who upgrade their handset on Vodafone Pay As You Go, using the Vodafone online sales channel at vodafone.ie.

basically - TCL20 SE for 40 quid after discount ; 64GB storage, 4Gb ram , 6.82' screen , 5000mAh battery

'SE' version is a lower spec , hence the 140 price ( lower spec then TCL20 ) ; Wrkit code takes 100 off, remaining 40 quid for a brand new dual sim phone

good deals to be had from time to time, although shopping online with vodafone it's not always seamless ( some say it's done on purpose, to deter masses taking advantage )

vdf website ->apply VFW12 code -> enter eircode, and confirm the eircode found address

So just to clarify, which (if any) of the wrkit phones are unlocked?

The Samsung a22 5g?

The TCL 20 SE?

The xiaomi mi 11 lite 5g?

I've tried so many ways to try and get an order to go through and none have worked (Eir sim) - Manually typing two addresses, entering two Eircodes and confirming they are correct and even trying the open to collect the phone from a store, all have been a no go.

In the order confirmation emails the Billing address shows up as 'Please enter your address, Dublin, 000000' every time. These are good offers but not worth the suffering to keep trying to order it, fair play to whoever manages to get an order through!

anyone else having issues with all the app disappearing and having to restart the phone to get the app icons back?

On the pixel 4A

Interesting, I've got this about 4 or 5 times over the past two weeks on an 18 month old pixel 3A, never a problem previously and was rock solid. Wonder if the last Android update screwed it up.

The phone is discontinued. It is sold out almost everywhere except for a few in stock with Google themselves (for 389). You'll do well to find it brand new for under 300 now, nevermind 200.

I having the odd touch responsive issue. I first thought it was a game I was playing, but it seems to happen (very rarely) on any app or even on home screen. It happens enough to be annoying. Was trying to hang up yesterday and couldn't.
