    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?

    Is laptop showing a cached version of the page?
    P30Lite deal has changed in the last week or so too. Base price gone up and discount gone down

    P30 Lite is cheaper to buy on Three without discount

    I've been in contact with him, got on to him after a few days and he said it was delayed because of Christmas. After a week I got back on to him again, he said Saturday, then contacted me Saturday to say it would be tomorrow. He did advise me that Samsung is much much quicker, and that Huawei would normally be too but it's a lot busier this time of year.

    I got it for the 100 but remember it being in the voda christmas magazine at that price too. Surely they'll have to honour it if in the magazine

    Hi,
    Just want to say that mobilecodes30 came good for the unlocking.
    I had been a bit nervous about trying the code multiple times but finally did it and it worked out ok.

    So, that was €10 well spent.

    Thanks again to @dan786

    Anyone able to help me understand phone unlocking a bit.
    I got a network code and a defreeze code from ebay seller.

    Unlock code didn't work first time.
    I'm nervous to try it again in case I disable the phone entirely.

    Seller is saying to enter the codes multiple times and it will eventually work..
    LIke:

    1) enter 41963906
    2) tap unlock
    3) enter 49525720
    4) tap unlock
    5) repeat step 3 and 4, for 10-15 times.

    But would this not be very risky?

    Setup my new Samsung A40 tonight . What a great phone for little money.

    Dual sim works perfect , I am running a three and gomo sim.


    Everything transferred from my old phone with smart switch so was a totally effortless transition.

    No, had cleared it.
    Ended up ordering a Nokia 4.2 for €40 after discount to collect in a shop instead.

    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.

    Bought another A40 as a present and om108 had it unlocked in 2 hours for me.

    I used him as well , just a pin number unblocked the phone

    He sent a puk code which I didn't need.

    The only thing annoying about the A40 is the connection to charge the phone is different to very other device in the house.

    Not sure if this is on all the new samsungs.

    Yeah, I take it you're talking about the USBC. I've been using usbc for the last couple of years.

    Great thing about it is that it goes is both ways and at this stage most of my devices are USBC. Beware though, not all UBSC cables work both ways!!!

    Not a phone geek, if it makes calls and texts, it'll do. I'm interested in the Samsung A40 at the Three price.
    I've never understood the "dual sim" concept, to be honest it didn't exercise my brain that much, but perhaps somebody could enlighten me.
    If a phone is dual sim then I assume that at least one reason is that you can use it on another network in another country? If this is the case, how do they lock the phone to one network here in Ireland?
    Now there is probably a simple method staring me in the face but as I said I've never really bothered to look so maybe those more educated could fill me in.

    I wouldn't get to bogged down with the whole dual sim thing.

    The A40 tray has slots for 2 sims and a memory card.

    It allows you have 2 separate numbers if required - great for me as otherwise I would need a separate phone for work.

    If you don't need dual sim , simply put 1 sim card in the slot and its the exact same as having a standard single sim phone.

    Thanks, That's not actually what I was asking, maybe I didn't make myself clear and maybe I'm getting the whole wrong gist
    If a dual sim phone is issued by Three, with their sim in it and locked to their network in Ireland, and you go to to the UK, say, and put a Tesco Sim in the second slot , will it work? If the answer is yes, then why, if the phone accepts a Tesco card in the UK, won't it accept a Tesco card in Ireland without having to unlock it?
    To put it another way. If the phone is locked to Three in Ireland, why isn't it locked to Three everywhere?

    I even have myself confused now:)

    Both sims will be locked to three but its easy to get an unlock code. You wont be able to use any sim other than tree till the phone is unlocked. Will cost €15 or so on ebay to get an unlock code.

    If the phone is locked both sim slots will be locked to the three network. You can get an unlock code on eBay for a few quid.

    Just received my A40 from Three. As with dan786, SIM 1 is locked to Three but SIM 2 is unlocked and that suits me fine as I'll be using it with Three and Vodafone SIMs.

    Fabulous piece of kit for the price!

    Actually this isn't entirely correct.

    If I have a Three SIM in one slot, then any SIM will work in the other. Doesn't matter which SIM is in which slot.

    If I don't have a Three SIM in the phone, then no other SIM will work in either slot, just get the request for the network unlock PIN.

    Still, it works for me with Three and Vodafone SIMs so I won't bother unlocking.

    any difference between a vodofone a40 and a three a40 with a vodafone sim in sim 2 ?
