This https://www.three.ie/online/voice/prepay/xiaomi-redmi-note-5/?src=p is dual sim... Unless I don't know what I have

Hmm. So three will accept a refund within 2 weeks?

I'd at least like to try it out and see if I like the massive size somaored to my s9.

Ah I get you now, I meant three separate ops have told me the p30 pro is not dual and locked.
Is it a case that your phone is locked to three and the secondary sim slot is available for any other sim, like they said for the Samsung s10

No, it came fully unlocked.

I got an email from three today.

Thank you for your recent Order

We are in the process of re-stocking an item you requested and unfortunately this will result in a delay to your order.

The expected new delivery date for your order is 2019-04-05. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

I assume 2019-04-05 means April the 5th. Or should I be worried?

When did you order? I haven't got such an email. I ordered on Saturday night

Cienciano · 01-04-2019 8:37pm

I ordered Sunday morning. About 11am

FatRat · 01-04-2019 10:17pm

I need to have the phone delivered to my place of work (I won't be there). Will Three deliver this to the mailroom there or do I need to be there? It says it will "only deliver to you in person".

I figure it's DPD though and they generally don't care and Id imagine they won't make a special exception just for Three deliveries?

I got phones delivered to work from 3 before, security man always signed for them. Never a problem

They lied. Firstly someone sitting in India wouldnt know, secondly they never tell you its dual sim. They will always say locked and single sim no matter what.

Example being the S10 series. All were dual sim unlocked but every carrier when asked said single sim and locked.

Guy in 3 Grafton St said they were locked to 3 so I went an ordered from Carphone Warehouse for €699 for P30. I'll be fairly pissed if 3 is selling them unlocked for €116 cheaper

They say this about every new release and the first batch of every new release is unlocked. It's what they're told to say.

MoodeRator · 02-04-2019 9:13am

I ordered over the phone yesterday, as I managed to get an early, early upgrade. Received message last night to say it was dispatched. But then another this morning to say it is out of stock. So Friday it is

Yes the first batch from Three are normally unlocked

Cienciano · 02-04-2019 9:16am

All the S10's were unlocked. You might have spend that €116 unnecessarily.

No guarantee of course and if I waited to find out, I would have lost out on the Sonos deal

Oh yeah, forgot about the sonos deal. We can all pretend it's locked to make you feel better :pac:

I assume your date in the email was 2019-04-05. A weird way to write a date. I thought they meant 4th of May when I read it.

That "weird way" is actually standardised in ISO 8601...

SK1979 · 02-04-2019 2:35pm

Anyone picked up a case for their p30 pro yet? Was on Amazon earlier and annoyingly all the Spigen cases won't deliver here. Sending to parcel Motel is just adding more expense...

Ebay seems to be even more expensive with more money on shipping. What one are you looking at? I had the slim armour before, really hard wearing and great fit, but slightly bulky. I'd rather a see through one for the P30. Might just fork out for parcel wizard, it's only €3.50 in the grand scheme of things.

drunkmonkey · 02-04-2019 3:41pm

There's a free sonas with the 3 ones think you need to order by Thursday online or in a shop though.

Time to upgrade then - it the only unambiguous way of writing a date down in English speaking world - it is the same in Europe, US, Ozi and India.

Huawei has released a wireless charging case for the P30..not sure where you order it though

I'm going for the pro, and tbh, I've a wireless charger for my current phone and I never use it.

At the moment they are doing 30 percent off Spigen cases so technically Parcel motel is free

iHungry · 02-04-2019 11:29pm

I got that email from three about a delay but it also says....Please Note-If you have purchased a pre-order device, please delete this email- your pre-ordered device will be shipped by its advertised release date.

Looks like delivery is on schedule

MarkY91 · 03-04-2019 8:37am

I haven't gotten any email. No idea why I'm not but you guys are

Are you with three? Everyone seems to be getting different emails, I wouldn’t be to worried.

Lfcfan2017 · 03-04-2019 9:42am

I got an email from 3 a couple of days after preorder saying there was a delay completing my order but that if it was a preorder to ignore the email.

Yeah. Haven't heard from them since the email right after paying for it. you

dan786 · 03-04-2019 11:25am

The devices will be shipped on Thursday for delivery Friday. Ignore all other emails about stock etc.

Cienciano · 03-04-2019 11:32am

We should pretend we all got dispatched emails just to fúck with MarkY91

Don't. Get the phone delivered, and if you don't like it, you have two weeks to return it no questions asked.

so if you order this from three you would need to open it and try it with another sim to confirm its unlocked...can you still return it then or does it have to be unopened for the 14 day change of mind?

Yes you can still return it...you'll have to cover the cost of postage back to them though.

Be warned it's a painful process! Took me almost 6 weeks to get a refund with multiple customer care advisers giving out conflicting info.

good to know. Cant just return it to a three shop?

Nope ! Basically when you buy online you can't see or feel the physical phone so you can say it's too big or heavy etc. However in a shop you can mess with a dummy or maybe even a live unit. So hence you can return an online purchase but not an in-store one

The question was if the online purchase can be returned to the shop.

Nope have to be posted to their online sales department...they make it as difficult as possible!

bogman · 03-04-2019 11:05pm

If the Three version comes locked how much would it cost to unlock it in one of the repair shops around the country, that or to purchase a code online, roughly?

rosmoke · 04-04-2019 12:04pm

Just received delivery of my P30 this morning, was expecting it tomorrow, can't complain.

Does anyone have any suggestions regarding backing up all data from an unrooted and locked HTC to a P30 Pro? please?

EDIT: I see it's An Post, I got a dispatched email today, should probably arrive tomorrow then

Three use An Post. Can be tracked online on An Post site using the order number.

Got my Spigen P30 Pro case today, no phone though. Much narrower profile than my current Mate 9. About the same height.. More screen less phone I suppose :-=

rosmoke · 04-04-2019 2:15pm

Just messing lads haha, I only got an email saying it was dispached today, hopefully tomorrow we get it

Checked out the dummy phone on lunchtime, it's a nice size. Really like the white colour.
