    Haven't seen a thread on this. Vodafone offering €50/€100 off selected PAYG phones if you switch from another provider over the next couple of weeks.

    Looking for a new phone for my daughter for Christmas. Already with Vodafone but can source a SIM from another provider to switch.

    Two I was interested were:
    Samsung A20E €150 reduced to €50 when switching
    Samsung A40 €200 reduced to €150 when switching

    Anyone familiar with these? The A20E looks a bargain but a bit suspicious they're giving the bigger discount on the cheaper phone . . . .

    I can vouch for the A20E - great phone, like a lot of us I got it in the Dunnes Stores Vodafone offer in August. I cant find a fault in it. The rapid charger is brilliant - from 15% battery to full in around 1 hour. There are good cases on Aliexpress or Ebay for it. (to save having to replace the phone sooner - getting a case is always a good idea)
    I know nothing about the A40 Im afraid

    The best ? Under what criteria ?
    The P30 Lite is a vastly superior phone.

    Galaxy S10e FREE on bill pay

    With FREE Samsung Galaxy Tablet
    and
    FREE Google Nest Mini Smart Speaker

    When you switch to Vodafone's €40 a month plan from another network and keep your number.

    I bought that unlock yesterday, searched everywhere and that seemed the cheapest and decent feedback. Should find out in a few days

    If nobody minds, can I please ask a stupid question.
    On the vodafone site they say "top up required every 4 weeks"
    So ... what happens if you fail to top up??

    Like if I just unlock the phone and go on my merry way??

    Thanks

    Top up is required if you are using a Vodafone sim and want to stay on whatever pay as you go offer they have you on (an offer is something like topup by 20 and you get unlimited calls texts and data but they take the 20 from your credit). If you are not on a offer and are just a Vodafone PAYG customer then no topup required for 6 months (they will block you making calls after 6 months of not topping up). If phone is unlocked, then you can put a sim from another network in the phone and no longer topup with Vodafone.
