    What is it with Irish networks, none of them offer dual sim phones

    Bought a Samsung A40 from Three a few months ago and it's dual-SIM. Came locked to Three but the second SIM slot will work with any network as long as a Three SIM is in the first slot.

    They are far and few between on Irish networks.

    All my phones have been dual sim (all have been bought sim free online).

    Current is Xiaomi Mi9SE DS

    I tried to order another phone on the deal and anytime I complete the transaction the discount is removed at the last step

    Rang and got transferred to 7 different people the last lad to be fair was fairly helpful and replicated the fault and raised it with the technical people and told me to try again tomorrow

    I used to think of vodafone as a premium product i've had more luck with Eir and that says a LOT

    Yeah, that's true. A lot of Samsungs seem to be supplied as dual-SIM recently though.

    It was a great deal though as it was only €90 (€100 off for porting) + mandatory €20 top-up and then came with €120 bonus credit which I've been able to spend on the Play Store.

    When do you get the watch? Does it come with the phone?

    Ordered one of these last night, but I have had no confirmation email to say anything about the order, only a marketing preferences email.

    Money has gone from my account so hopefully they process it as my current P9 is slowly becoming unusable as battery is terrible, and that's the 2nd battery that's in it...

    In my case, tracking never worked, never got a confirmation email (just the email you got) and it showed up after a day.

    Aurora colour is back in stock this morning. Was out of stock when I ordered on the weekend.

    The Vodafone website is a mess. It used to function fairly well, but was extremely dated. They have been upgrading for at least the last year, and it's still not all fixed. Up until not that long ago, you would get diverted to their old site when trying to buy a PAYG phone.

    If you are ordering for the band (or due to the band). Be aware there is a large chance you will not recieve it.

    That is of my own (and others) experience with them is the norm

    Already ordered it for a family member, they received it (with the band) a couple of days ago.

    Glad someone got it!

    Well the person I did it for tried to stop the port, but didn't manage it in time, so they will use Vodafone for one month before porting back.

    You can do the same, or get a throwaway SIM from Eir that you port across, then unlock and use your current Eir SIM. There's a few ways you can do it.

    Seems they've removed the free band from the website. Guess they only had limited stock.

    Also assume its locked and dual SIM ?
