    So how much did it end up costing you?

    €40 + €2.50 as you then port the Tesco number when you're buying the phone online.

    However, sign up to fatcheese.ie, then click on the Vodafone link there, and buy the phone for €40. You'll then get €12.50 back later. Total cost €27.50 + €2.50 for Tesco sim card, so €30 all in.

    Got mine today. Nice little phone. Great value @ €20.:D

    How did you get them at those prices? I'm with Vodafone at Home (Online billing) and I can't seem to get them?

    I got this unlocked today.

    It costs €10, and is pretty easy.

    Download this application

    Buy 10 credits (my password got put in my spam folder on gmail BTW)

    Plug the battery out of the phone.

    Plug it back in (sometimes it turns on automatically, if it does just plug it out and in agian)

    Power it up by holding the power button and the volume down button, keep them held down for like 20-30 seconds. The Egg timer should stay on screen

    Plug it into your PC.

    Follow the instructions here

    Good Luck!

    I bought one of these and with the fatcheese link I got €22.50 back not the €12.50 people seem to be getting. I had trouble with the fatcheese link posted by witnessmenow and had to navigate through and find it on prepay myself.

    Chose the porting option and ordered. Fatcheese cash back showed up a day later due to the problems they are currently experiencing.

    But yes. I got €22.50 and not €12.50.

    It was a present for someone, I've yet to pick up a sim and order one myself.

    Vodafone website has to be the worst ever, always get errors, can't login to track order produces an error, Can't login to my VAH account to look for discounts, even though I can login to view my bill.
    even tried to post feedback on the website and this is what i get
    Sorry, an error has occurred, please try later (SH-FB-04).

    Its an appalling website allright.
    Ironic that a telecommunications company has such a bad website.

    Could try going for a free SIM with O2 or Meteor?

    Received mine today, great little phone. Not a huge amount of bloatware on the phone and they've kept the wifi hotspot functionality which was a nice surprise. All in all, a fantastic phone for the price.

    This has to be one of the BAs of the year so far!

    If I go down to the Vodafone store, will they give me €50 off this phone because I'm a Vodafone broadband customer?

    Could you not have just rang them?

    Anyways, porting an existing number to vodafone gets you the phone for €40, even if its from a free sim card you've never used before from one of the other providers.

    If you do it online, before you go to vodafones website set up an account with fatcheese.ie. Once you have that setup look for the vodafone deal on fatcheese and click the link. Then buy the phone and you will get €12.50 back in a few weeks time.

    Total price = €27.50, That is as cheap as you can buy the phone at the moment if im not mistaken

    In my fatcheese-account I currently see this under "Vodafone" (see pic). So it still seems to be €22.50 cashback for the rest of this week.

    Mine isn't showing either. Logged a ticket and was told that I'd have to wait a week to make the claim.
