    Try paying with PayPal and add the address then.

    That's what I did and I'm posting this from the S7 now

    So my mother got the s7 going from the s5. I have just noticed the sims are different sizes. She has sold her s5. Any way I can get the contacts from the old sim.

    Does anyone know of a free transfer program that will let me copy over my WhatsApp threads from my iPhone 6 and transfer them to the S7?

    I can only find paid versions for 20$ which is annoying. Must be a free version somewhere!?

    Well in the Android version if you go to settings - Chats and calls there is a chat backup option which you can backup to drive or something like that. Is there not the same option in the iOS version?

    Edit : Sorry it seems the issue is what iPhone to Android.

    Hmm maybe this? Wazzap Migrator although is €2.99 on google play

    Check WhatsApp settings for a Google Drive backup option, it seems to sync and restore on my single (non Samsung) device OK.

    You can backup and restore on the iPhone but its iCloud only, so it won't work cross device only if the device is the same (ie iOS to iOS / Android to Android)

    But there are paid transfer programs via your pc or mac that do transfer the chat logs, but I can only find paid versions :(

    Wazzupmigrator, you install on your pc after taking bacup on iphone, extract chat db ( website has all info and trial version let you extract), download app on phone, convert msg and install watsapp, migated 20000 msg today without media but there is extra step for media too.

    If you want totally free then you can ask refund for app, but i kept it as to support dev. Good luck, takes less than 2 mins

    Wow, that's actually pretty good compared to the Z3 compact. I may upgrade after all!

    Is there a version of find my phone hidden in the s7


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,184 ✭✭✭Kenno90


    Got an edge yesterday in Carphone Warehouse, was the last one in stock and being held for someone else.

    Turns out they weren't able to get it till later on this week so they gave it to me (since they'll be ordering more in today/tomorrow)

    Plus it was cheaper in CPW rather than argos. Only ended up costing me 300 after my one4all voucher :D

    It was 799, I asked for a meteor PAYG, The box was untouched by anyone other than me. Definitely sim free as i put in a Vodafone sim and it worked no problem.

    I dont know if i got lucky or not but it seems three are the ones that add a sim lock.

    Can you try a different sim? Some apparently lock to the first sim inserted.

    No no, I have a meteor sim. Inserted it and it was all good. Then inserted the vodafone, again all good.

    Reinserted the meteor one and its fine. Wasn't the initial sim locking an 'American' feature ?

    Are they not out of stock on the Samsung site until 22nd?

    What one did you order?

    I ordered the gold edge. It said out of stock when I was ordering and that it would ship on the 22nd but I got a mail this morning to say it was on its way.
    I'd post the picture of the shipping confirmation here but not 100% sure how. :D

    I chanced buying a meteor phone off adverts and my vodafone sim worked fine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 690 ✭✭✭Frankmagnet


    Tried my local CPW and they said they didn't get any payg s7/s7 edge in to sell, only bill pay.

    Surely that's crap?

    Yup, I was told the exact same. They said to me it would be minimum a month before they would have any to offer. Total BS if you ask me :mad:
