    Ordered a Samsung A40 off three.ie for €89.99 (plus €10 top up) having given up on Vodafone customer service coming back to me about my cancelled order.
    Not only was it €50 cheaper, came in 2 days.
    Vodafone customer service said they ring me back and that was nearly 2 weeks ago!

    Nearly got caught out with the 3 pin plug which looked very strange till I figured it needed to be expanded to fit :o.

    I bought the A40 also, it arrived yesterday and so far I'm very impressed
    I'm also looking forward to getting 3plus offers :)

    I bought a A20e off vodafone last week, but I have since found a candidate for that :D

    @Quackster - it is dual sim, however I don't think it is unlocked.


    Akin to the post above, have you unlocked yours yet , okidoki987?

    Anyone buy the unlock code for Vodafones Huawei P30 Lite using ebay item "HUAWEI UNLOCK CODES : P20, MATE 10, P SMART - VODAFONE IRELAND NETWORK" seller "om108-triomobile"? I know it said that it could take up to 20 working days to get the code but has anyone received theirs yet and how long did it take?

    I haven't got mine yet either. I contacted the guy last week as another boardsie had gotten his code in 36 hours or something, the guy just said he was very busy coming up to Christmas and could be 15 business days. I should have got mine today at latest based on the date on the code I bought so may get in touch with him again.

    Talking about Huawei here, yours must have been Samsung as Huawei costs 39.99 on above site.

    Samsung is 11-12 euro on Ebay and code within an hour.

    I'm now waiting almost three weeks for a refund from a failed online sale. I didn't get the phone but they took the money anyway.
    I never thought about all the refunds.
    2 for myself and 1 for a mate.
    Will check the cc and make sure they are in there.
    Contacted Vodafone via Twitter 5 hours ago and still waiting for an answer.

    I bought code for A20e, A40 and a S9 from him in last week and they came with just one unlock code and it worked on first try.

    I bought a code just now off Ebay and a load of Samsung phones were listed
    but I wasn't asked to supply the IMEI number?
    Wonder would same code unlock all Samsung phones?

    Ah right....I didnt realise they had different prices for different brands....
    But on the plus side, they're quick and they work!

    You are supposed to add the IMEI in a message on Ebay, there is an option at checkout. If you didnt just message the seller with the phone name, network and IMEI.

    How soon did you hear back, dan786? I bought an unlock for A40 from the seller om108XXXX at around 3pm today and sent a message thereafter - however, I haven't heard anything from the seller at all. :o

    Interestingly, bought two P30 Lites (his and hers), the Blue and Breathing Crystal, only the Blue is locked to the Vodafone network, the Breathing Crystal took the same 3 sim without issue.. Very strange

    Sent mail to om108-triomobile with the IMEI for Samsung A40 at 10.41am today and received the unlock code at 12.28pm! :eek:
    €12.50, worked perfectly and now 2 different sims in it.
    I'll be using him again.

    That was quick. He can be fast when he's quiet but put your feet up when he's busy. At the end of the day he does come through though.

    Odd question but, does anyone know how to find out what network a number is on?? I got a free sim from eir and used to get the huawei p30lite on VF - but I'm not sure if the number ever actually ported as I did it in store & the guy told me it would be done the following morning. Put the VF sim in the VF phone but didn't connect to any network stayed as emergency calls only.

    Asking as I would like to get the A40 from 3 but not sure whether I can re-use the same eir sim or whether it has ported to VF

    Went into a shop this morning to get a Nokia 4.2 (they cancelled the online order) and was only €50 off the €139.99 in shop.
    Called up the Vodafone website in the store on my phone and it was same at €50 off.
    Yet on the laptop, it is now showing as €100 off? :confused:
    Anybody else having this problem?
