    How did you manage to do it with an existing number? Any time I try to use my VF number and account the discount disappears.

    How long does it normally take to get despatch email guys?

    Yes, does that mean the order is successful?

    Going by this thread I wouldn't be overly confident of anything until the phone is in your hand, but you've some chance!!

    6 orders across 2 accounts, all cancelled! Everytime got the order confirmation email. I'm a Vodafone customer and health insurance customer! Just trying to get one of them for my nephew. Absolute shambles

    Confirmation of the order isn't guaranteed you'll get one, a lot of them get cancelled. Some people got dispatch email, but I didn't. Keep a check on it on the Vodafone site, if you see added shipping number to your order you can be confident it's on the way. Their website e-commerce is beyond a joke.

    2 confirmed orders (as in money taken) here so far but both cancelled.

    Think this website has worn out my resilience, what a steaming pile of crap.

    Worked 1st time

    Got despatch email.

    Dont even know why I ordered, i guess thats the culture of the BA forum :)

    Why are some orders failing for some people?

    The 4a is a considerable upgrade in terms of size and weight, 'nicer' in the hand.

    Great deal in fairness

    Mine arrived on the 2nd go :) Just as my Pixel 2 was on the way out.

    FYI for anyone trying to identify patterns - I used the same card, account, browser, email etc. The only thing I noticed different was that there was a new "account" created under orders on the Vodfone site, the failed one just had my surname, the successful one had my full name. I also put my address in manually, as for some reason it kept adding an incorrect area into the delivery address - even though on the Eircode website it looks correct.

    Cheers for the great bargain!

    5 across multiple accounts for me, all cancelled. Very frustrating in general but even more so as this is a great deal.

    Mine arrived today in the post this morning although I really wasn't expecting it after reading about all the cancelled orders etc.. I have PAYG number. Signed into my account and ordered the phone. Put in the promo code VF0013 during checkout and received 100 euro off. It was a completely painless transaction, have a lovely new phone for 179 euros and for once I'm grateful to vodafone. Once of the best bargains I got from boards, thanks OP.

    7 orders for an iPhone SE and finally the last one went through and was delivered this morning. I'm now second guessing myself and might return it and get the 12 instead--- after all that pain

    It is pretty clear that the web store is a disgrace. One hopes that they don't use failed orders in the quarterly financial results to the market

    As bad as Vodafone's website is their support is even worse. I do not recommend any one contact them ever.

    You know the old saying. If at first you don't succeed, drive yourself mental trying over and over again.
