    Your payment is being processed.
    Your order is due for dispatch.
    Your order is being processed.

    3rd stage means everything is fine. So, one can expect the phone by post any day hereafter.

    Did anyone get his/her order dispatched?

    My order status online was 'due for dispatch', but now has reverted to 'processing'.

    My order status online was 'due for dispatch', but now has changed to "Your order is being processed".

    Yes. that (order is being processed) is the third stage and it means your order is being processed for dispatch.

    Initially I had a confusion about 'processing' and 'dispatch' terms. Later I realised after experiencing myself through the process, that it is the way I have explained above.

    Hope my explanation sorted your confusion too ;).

    Go my P30 yesterday, happy with it... definitely 100e well spent. 128GB storage is great, for some reason I thought it was 64GB.

    Question - we need another phone in the house and was thinking of ordering one of the cheaper Samsung. Since my number won't be ported for another week or so, is it possible to order another phone with discount on same number?

    Is P30 dual sim?

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

    Any luck with this code? I got the p30 lite in store the other day but haven't gotten to unlocking yet

    Doesn't matter. Vodafone are definitely not checking sims. Put mine in phone for first time five mins before ordering and never topped up. All the cancellations seem to be for multiple orders.

    I never even took the eir sim card out of the packet. That said I did buy the phone in store, so maybe the port failed later.

    Watch out.
    I went and got one of the phones in-shop in Vodafone.
    They insisted on charging me for a 20 euro top up as well as the phone.
    And seeing as I was in a rush I paid it.. sending the phone abroad with someone travelling as an early christmas present.

    BTW can anyone advise me.. I was hoping to send the phone over unopened.. but I'm wondering now should I stick the vodafone sim into the phone and activate it?
    I'm planning on having the person abroad do the unlocking bit over there..
    Or should I get it done here before I send it?

    Thanks

    Just wondering.. looking at the newly arrived phone.. there is no mention of vodafone inside the cellophane wrapper...
    Is it actually already locked to vodafone right now? Or does it get locked to vodafone when you put the SIM into it for the first time?

    Has anyone tried a different operators SIM in the phone before ever putting the vodafone one into it?

    It's locked on arrival, out of the box.

    I have put an alien sim in (never put the vf sim in actually) and that's when it asks you to enter the unlock code.

    I got an upgrade today, Huwawei have 200 off the p30 and p30 plus and then there's an extra 100 off for upgrades so I got the pro for 100 euro, the regular would have been free with my plan which is basic enough. This was vodafone in store.

    I'd be inclined to let the person you're giving it to do the unlocking. When you turn it on it's going to go through the setup procedure that includes your language, location, gmail address etc.

    Yah, thanks, thats what I was kinda thinkin...
    Would they need the vodafone sim though? PUK's and all that??

    Like I ended up stuck with €20 vodafone credit.. so I was thinkin I'd stick the vodafone sim in an old phone I have and use it there...

    Anyone able to tell me, is the phone credit I was forced to buy in the shop related to the phone number? Or could some one else use it?
    Like, could I sell it to someone?

    No, not tied to your number. Can be used by anyone on Vodafone PAYG.

    Anywhere you can pick up a cheap sim rather than waiting for delivery?

    You can get a Tesco sim free when you buy 15 euro credit, you can pass the credit on to someone who might use it.

    I also had to buy €20 credit, have put it up on adverts for €10. If no-one buys it I think there's ways to purchase games, music etc or donate to a charity which is what I'll end up doing if no takers!

    It can have two sims or one and a nano memory card. I think only one works at a time.

    Seems to be back in stock. I just ordered one.

    Edit: Must have been a load rushing from here, website down now :D

    Sorry, wrong thread. Was meant to post this in the specific Pixel 3A thread. Is relevant here too, I suppose.

    Not sure if this is allowed, but will this work?

    Order a free sim card from another provider
    Get the new number
    Order a phone from VF and say i'm transferring from another provider
    Use the phone number from the free sim card (my phone is unlocked so can retrieve the code they send)
    When that's complete, put original VF sim card into the new phone
    I know it's a lot of effort to save €50 in the price difference, but would that work ok?
