    I think I might buy one pay as you go on Vodafone just to try it out. 14 day returns. And if I like it I'll sell the U11.

    Assuming that you get one that price, and it is locked to VF - what hoops have to be jumped through to get it unlocked i wonder ? I am not moving from a couple of very good value Meteor/Eir SIM only plans but want this phone. I will of course buy online if required but i would like to see it in the flesh before i do so am happy to buy from VF. 

    Why will CarePhoneW not offer then SIM free ?

    Could you not buy it off Vodafone then unlock it for a couple of quid?

    I was gonna buy a Nokia 6 from Three and do the same but I couldn't find an unlock code anywhere for the thing. I ended up spending a few quid extra and getting it from Amazon. It might be the same for this.

    Dying to pick one up but I'm over in Spain on holidays and the Vodafone site won't let me proceed with the transaction.

    Are these available in store or online only?

    My local vodafone store is just terrible for stock, so I'm expecting this wont be in for another few weeks :rolleyes:

    That Vodafone price is very tempting. Do Vodafone still print their logo on the back of all of their phones and install a load of their own stuff? After being SIM-free for so long, having stuff on my phone that I don't want would probably irritate me, but at the same time that's a very nice price...

    I don’t think so. They save that ****e for their own brand phones now-a-days.

    Took the plunge anyway and ordered it from the VF website as the shop weren’t even aware they had this phone on the network. Not very informed!

    Any indication on delivery lead time ? The mobiles direct crowd in the UK have them - and they will be delivered in a   couple of days i guess - but i still want to handle one first. Mind you by the time i pontificate about it i could have ordered it and gotten it setup!

    My order is now "due for dispatch" so should hopefully be available for pickup from my local VF store tomorrow.

    That is quick - i would be really curious to hear if it is locked to vodafone and also branded vodafone and with their bloatware installed.

    Thanks - also very keen to know this. I'm hovering over the 'Buy' button as it is, so if it's unlocked and not full of Vodafone bloatware, it's a no-brainer for me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 409 ✭✭EnzoScifo


    that's a great price. Glad I didn't pull the trigger on the p20 lite now.

    Sure you can just disable it if you're getting it unlocked. Not a big deal?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,780 ✭✭✭sentient_6


    Who gives a ****e about 1 app to access your account. Its not bloatware, pull your head out of 2013.


  • Registered Users Posts: 817 ✭✭✭ronanc1000


    With Vodafone click and collect would it be likely that they have the phone already in store like an Argos type system? Or would ive to wait for it to be delivered to the store? Trying to figure out if I order for home delivery now would it be here on Friday or should I got click and collect?

    I ordered yesterday morning for click & collect. My order status now reads "complete".
    I've not been informed whether the phone is available to be collected though.
    I'm gonna call in after work to see if it's arrived.

    Nope, definitely not - happy out that it's just the one. Decision made for me. Delighted I didn't pre-order it elsewhere now.
