    Just looking at the cost to buy from Samsung. Can you combine items to get a better trade in? Ie. Phone and headphones?

    In the same boat as yourself. Ringing around a few shops and none seem to have stock. I can't upgrade online for some reason unknown to me and have spent a ridiculous amount of time on the phone to customer service the last 2 weeks, going around in circles. I keep getting the error that my number is already in the Vodafone system and need to check My Vodafone to see if I'm eligible for an upgrade. When I do that it tells me I'm not due and upgrade till February 2021. The last straw for me the other day was being told I need to use incognito mode to check out. Pretty much run out of patience now with them. Think I'll just buy it outright from Samsung. It's just the Vodafone deal with the free buds is such a good deal.

    I’m very tempted to try the ultra. I’m wondering will i regret moving from the 13 pro max? I haven’t used android for ages. What are the apps quality IOS VS Android like these days? Does Iphone transfer data ( messages, contacts, photos etc) successfully over to a Samsung?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 217 ✭✭rhinosaurious


    Get it outright and get a gomo, everything 15e a month 5G aswell. that’s the sweet spot


    Or call vodafone and do the upgrade over the phone , worked for me last time

    No it was some old wired headset that I got with a phone 9 years ago.

    Build S918BXXS1AWBM

    Do they release these updates based on region or batch? 2 mates got their phones 2 weeks after me (one Samsung direct, one Adverts) , I got the update for March early last week & the Play Store update a few days ago but both of them got each update only yesterday despite checking each day? Downloaded DevInfo, all the same bar production dates.

    Not that it makes much difference in the grand scheme of things :-)

    They are based on region. Each phoned IMEI would be region related



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,822 ✭✭✭Mr Velo


    You'll not regret it - believe me. Very little difference in apps quality these days. You can select what to transfer across yes (using smart switch when setting up the phone - connect both phones with USBC - Lightning cable.

    Does anyone know of any discount codes going? Everything seems to be expired from the pre launch

    I only got email about trade off completed today - and I sent my old broken phone to Samsung the same day I got the return package, so it took few weeks. I wouldn't worry, I guess they have a lot of stuff to go through.

    I just got an email from Samsung Trade in saying that they found a crack on the screen and screen burn and they want me to pay another €33.

    I sent the phone in perfect. I took pictures of it the morning I was sending it in front of dated news stories of the day with the screen off and the screen on working and fully lit. It was in a box and covered in layers and layers of bubble wrap, way more than they sent my S23 in. I then sent it by registered post for peace of mind.

    I've read about this on Reddit and also saw a couple of videos on YouTube warning people about Samsung's trade in and them trying to charge people more. To be honest I thought it was more in the United States but obviously not.

    Ive sent them back all the pictures I took and I will be contesting their claim. Leaves a really sour taste in my mouth with Samsung now and I've been with them years. I will update what happens.

    Take note anyone doing a trade in, document it all and take pictures of your device.

    None of the codes work. Tried all sites. Hopefully they will come with a new offer. Have already got one s23U with codes.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,173 ✭✭✭masterboy123


    Customer service chat told me Samsung don't plan to run codes this month. Next month there maybe a chance...they didn't sound optimistic.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 763 ✭✭✭Nickindublin


    They have upped the trade in values for S22 ultra. Im at €540 with my 256 Gb S22 Ultra for the 256gb S23 Ultra.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 164 ✭✭Jjohnrockk


    I hope u know 256 is with 8 gb and 512 with 12 GB.

    Any news on Vodafone stores getting these back in?

    I’ve been on the waiting list for the green one for 3 weeks and when I call in they say none arrived.

    Just looking for the stock S23



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,244 ✭✭✭darragh o meara


    It took me a while to find one but I did last week in the Carlow store. Might be worth a call if your looking. The trade in deal is pretty decent there.


    BTW, If you get a nice person on the phone in one of those stores, ask them to check where does have them in stock. They have visibility to other stores stock..

    I could only see the green one available online when I was looking last week for a black one!

    Got talking to someone on 1907, and she said that the phone line, the app, the website and B&M stores all have different supply lines, so ask/look around.

    Hi guys, I traded in a iPhone with Samsung against an Ultra. The ultra arrived today. There was no instructions on how I send them the iPhone. Will they send me out a package to return the iPhone to them or how will it work? Thanks, Ronan.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,013 ✭✭✭✭Mimikyu


    Yeah a return pack with instructions and a jiffy bag will arrive over the next couple of weeks.



  • Posts: 276 ✭✭ Andrea Defeated Yokel


    I got the cream S23 yesterday. Nice phone

    Big camera and battery update coming... As if it couldn't get any better :-) I've been manually checking for updates the last 2 days. Hopefully soon, although I'm very very happy with it as it is.
