Vodafone Black Friday Sale

slimshady007 · 2019-11-19 11:38:07

Haven't seen a thread on this. Vodafone offering €50/€100 off selected PAYG phones if you switch from another provider over the next couple of weeks. Looking for a new phone for my daughter for Christmas. Already with Vodafone but can source a SIM from another provider to switch. Two I was interested were: Samsung A20E…

I bought Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 in a Vodafone store over the weekend. 128GB for €110 with EIR sim. Had to buy a €20 top up with it but I'm with Vodafone anyway

Yeah. I was trying to get the Redmi 9 for €79 which is nearly identical to the Note 9 for €40 less. I'll just pop into the Vodafone store and snag it tomorrow.

I didn’t read T&Cs on website but I did notice that their TV ad shows that €20 top up is required

Ok, so I ordered the Eir sim which came 3 days later. Then I ordered the A21s from the VF website for 89 quid using the Eir sim as the number I wanted to switch over to vodafone, which came 3 or 4 days later (ordered on Thursday, came this morning/Monday)

I opened the phone and stuck my Virgin sim in (just happened to put it in slot number 2, whoah whoah) and I can confirm that the phone was unlocked with no funny business. No need for anything else. A21s for 89 quid, happy feckin days.

Lads can you let me know if the A21s Operating System can be updated to One 2.5.

Sam Gal phones need this update in order to use Secure Folder.

Thanks
