    Are people actually forking out the big bucks to buy sim free or upgrading?

    Is there any discount referral code available?

    Ideally for the 7T Pro as I think that's what I've settled on

    Big referral link thread here: https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057978665 its for the OP7 but all links will still be valid.

    I'd say most OP owners would buy direct sim free from OP

    The OP7 Pro is €469 on the €30 a month plan from Three. That's €1189 over the life of the two year contract.

    If you buy direct from OP and sign up to the new 30 day plan from GoMo at €9.99 a month the two year period will cost you €940.

    Even if you were on a €20 plan per month it'll work out slightly cheaper to buy direct.

    I was thinking of GoMo but often those sub-companies tend not to deliver great service or last too long. I have an old package with a network that gives me unlimited data which they no longer offer to new customers so not really willing to loose that.

    Any recommendations for a good case and screen protector for 7pro? I got the sandstone case free but not convinced it offers much protection! Cheers

    Already a film screen protector on top of the phone when you get it, or are you talking about an actual glass/plastic one to go on top as an extra layer.

    I've got one of these:
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/OtterBox-Symmetry-Clear-Confidence-OnePlus/dp/B00Z7TV8IW/ref=asc_df_B00Z7TV8IW/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=294684076205&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13904325368879399432&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045048&hvtargid=pla-760542507253&psc=1&th=1&psc=1

    There's a decent lip around all four sides of it which is a screen bumper, the case is made from very tough material, back literally is solid as a rock and the phone fits in as solid as a rock (not easy to get out mind, but possible!) The lip pretty much stops any accidental palm touches of the screen as well without hindering text input and obviously it's clear, so if you have Nebula Blue, that's a bonus. It's compatible with most screen protectors and the Otterbox Alpha Glass.

    Probably a touch overpriced but the level of protection is very high and build quality blows other cases out the window.

    I got the nylon bumper case for the OnePlus 6T, a year ago when I bought it and I have dropped the phone (accidentally) 3 or 4 times on hard path. And it has come out of it without any damages.

    They have the same bumper case for the 7 and 7t

    It has gorilla glass 6 as well which , based on tests online, seems to show , that it's quite a sturdy phone.

    I think no 3.5mm jack, no jack adapter and no notification light is a deal-breaker for me but still interested to hear opinions on it

    5t is still going strong apart from having to be very precise to get it to quick charge

    Just pulled the trigger on a 7T Pro + Karbon Bumper case. €800 is a bit eye watering but upgrading from a 5 and will be re-purposing that as a phone for my son.

    When the purchase is complete you are then presented with an option to buy the "OnePlus Protection Plan" which is an insurance policy for circa €80 which provides a repair service for any damage done to the phone but when you click on it https://aftersales.oneplus.com/login you have to enter a phone number to get the process started but Ireland isn't listed as one of the country codes.

    Anyone else looking to get this insurance cover and if so have you figured out how to get it?

    Not sure one could call being restricted by cables that tangle and are restricted in length, need to be untangled and physically plugged in an improvement, but each to their own.

    Personally the on button switch on my Sony headphones is far easier and I have all the controls I need on the headset to never even have to touch the phone which can be the other side of the house.

    I don't know how many on here have access to college emails?
    BUT!
    If you do, and you haven't still yet set up a studentbeans account...
    Do it quick!

    I got an email this morning with a 10% off Oneplus 7T offer.
    Its not a referral link so I can't share it but if you have college email, its not to be sniffed at.

    Small gotcha: it's "up to" 10% off the order.
    The device is capped at 5% discount, only accessories are eligible for the 10%.

    So big question, when will the price drop ?

    Still on the 5 and even after many drops and a swim in a lake it's still going strong !

    If the price drops on the 7T or pro a decent bit id most likely go for it to treat myself ! :D

    Ordered today for delivery tomorrow.

    The ones on AliExpress will probably take a while to get here, you'll have to deal with them not OP for repairs and the charger won't be uk/irish. Apart from that the phone will function the same.

    No idea on 3 availability!

    Perfect and done except I prefer Parcel Wizard as they deliver to the door ;)

    A bit surprised that the 7T Pro I ordered today has already shipped. These guys have really learned how to run a slick logistics operation.

    Do you think you'll get yours tomorrow?

    I ordered the 7T Pro this morning, along with the USBC earphones to try them out.
    I paid the extra €9.99 for quicker delivery, but I doubt it'll be in my hands by the weekend sadly!

    Add import duty and taxes onto that too. It will not slip through customs. Just buy from 1+ for peace of mind all round.

    Thinking of getting this myself. Upgrading from one plus 5. Only thing putting me off a little is that j won't be able to connect to my car radio as no Jack and my car doesn't have Bluetooth so any recommendations on how to get around that?

    Think I'll get the frosted silver version. Which colour are most going for?

    Anyone got any experience of it?
