    I ordered a Huawei P30 Lite earlier - only after purchase did I realise it was the black version so I went back and purchased the blue version. Even though I selected blue before I added it to the cart.

    Does anyone know how to contact Vodafone so I can cancel the first order - I've searched for support or contact but can't seem to get anywhere... perhaps my only chance is for the order to be cancelled!! :rolleyes:

    Doesn't matter. Vodafone are definitely not checking sims. Put mine in phone for first time five mins before ordering and never topped up. All the cancellations seem to be for multiple orders.

    Yep, I bought a phone online last year on a Vodafone porting offer and for some reason the burner SIM I used never ported.

    On another occasion though, buying a phone in a Vodafone store, the agent wouldn't hand it over until my number ported successfully. Had to go away and come back 30 minutes later! :eek:

    Samsung Galaxy A40 and Huawei P30 lite are single sim or dual sim?

    I ordered the a20e the other day with spare Tesco sim I had lying around. Phone arrived today . I was impressed that it was dual sim and had slot of SD card on top of that . It was locked to Vodafone but bought unlocking code from unlock.ie for 18 euro. if anyone does decide to buy their unlocking code you just need to put in the phones first imei when requesting it. The code they send back unlocks both sim slots . All in all unlocked dual sim phone for 67.99 euro is fantastic value . Cheers OP

    Unlock codes on ebay for about 11-12

    s10 for €50 or the a50 5g for €50?

    Do you get any acknowledgement from VF after you buy online?

    Yes I got an email Wednesday confirming my order had been received. I did not receive anything to say it had been dispatched the phone and sim just arrived in the post Friday morning .


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,397 ✭✭✭LowOdour


    Maybe a silly question,
    but on the Vodafone site for the "Select switch date and time", does it have to be within a certain time? Could I set it to 4 weeks time for example?


  • Registered Users Posts: 146 ✭✭Glenn220390


    CEX give €76 for the A20e and €148 for the P30 lite. if your not happy with the phone at least you'll get a profit on the trade in

    Ok, thanks. I tried to buy online twice yesterday and on both occasions it gave me a message of...

    ~Unable to process your request at the moment. Please try again later.

    On the second occasion it even went through the "Verified by Visa" process!!

    No email, no text, no acknowledgement of any sort but two amounts for €49.99 pending in my visa account!!

    I ordered one yesterday evening. I could successfully complete the order. I got an order number at the end of the ordering process and subsequently an email with all the order details too.

    Porting or non porting?

    Porting

    Edit Update: Ordered one more just now (porting). Got the order number at the end post payment. Got the order details by email too within minutes after payment.

    Have you tried asking Google 🙄💡

    Some phones comes with both single sim and dual sim versions. Checked the details on Vodafone site as well. Even A20 is not mentioned as dual sim even though it is.

    So yes, I have tried to look around before asking here.

    The P30 lite is dual sim, but the 2nd slot is a hybrid slot... So 2 sims or a sim+ microsd


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,397 ✭✭✭LowOdour


    Got order confirmation for P30 lite, so hopefully will come through. I did order the Blue version but came up as black. Not a big deal really.

    Had a feel of it in store this morning, alot bigger than any other phone I've had but will cope!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 248 ✭✭Berserker5


    Will the P30 lite come back into stock

    Did anyone get his/her order dispatched?

    My order status online was 'due for dispatch', but now has reverted to 'processing'.

    My status was Dispatched and is gone back to Your order is being processed.


  • Registered Users Posts: 669 ✭✭✭karkar athlete


    I ordered on Friday evening and online it still says 'Your order is being processed.' however I got a text this morning to say my order has been dispatched so we'll see tomorrow...

    So both phones arrived this morning. Only ported one number which is still active although a message came through from Vodafone saying the port was rejected! Anyone doesn't matter as it was only used to avail of the offer! Will see what I do with the second phone now...

    Sorry for the stupid post.

    Am looking at getting one of these for the little one for Christmas, but she doesn't have a mobile currently. I do have an unlocked s6 around the house.

    Is the best thing to buy the eir sim, lash it in the S6 for a few hours and pop in to my local VF shop to get ported to the VF network?

    You can order for an eir sim for free instead of buying it.

    I am quite sure the offer is online only. So, you don't need to go to the store for porting to avail the offer. You can port online while ordering the phone.

    To my knowledge, you don't need to wait for hours for the eir sim to be port-ready. You can straight away port in once you get it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,397 ✭✭✭LowOdour


    Go my P30 yesterday, happy with it... definitely 100e well spent. 128GB storage is great, for some reason I thought it was 64GB.

    Question - we need another phone in the house and was thinking of ordering one of the cheaper Samsung. Since my number won't be ported for another week or so, is it possible to order another phone with discount on same number?


  • Registered Users Posts: 208 ✭✭lukeeman


    Did anybody have any luck getting the phone unlocked from Vodafone.

    I ordered 2 Eir sims last week, and i still didn't receive them, so don't count on the sims ordered online.
