    LTE is 4G, for all intents and purposes. Some network ROMs would should 4G for the signal, others would show LTE.

    Like said before, LTE is the same as 4G depending on the rom of your phone, and or the 4G coverage of your area

    https://m.apkpure.com/4g-lte-switch/com.tapbase.LTEswitcher

    You can download this apk to force "LTE Only" to get only 4G or in the dialer dial *#*#4646#*#* and select phone - but you may not receive anyway calls if your carrier doesn't support calls over 4G yet.. I think Eir or Vodafone do.

    See the Nokia 4.2 for €39.99. Anyone know if it's the 16GB/2GB Ram or 32GB/3GB Ram model?




    Thanks

    Last month I ordered two Eir SIMs for myself & my mother before and received them within 3 days. My wife ordered one on Saturday 15th Feb and still hasn't received her SIM. A friend of ours is in the same boat.

    At this rate, she'll most likely be going into Eir store and paying 10e for a SIM card.

    Told them they could collect, been a week and they are still adamant on me paying for registered postage. That is not going to happen.

    After a week they tell me they will compensate me etc but looking at their CS reviews and their twitter page, it wont happen or I will be waiting months.

    So now what....

    Sorry bit off topic, so gave them until end of today to collect, full 2 weeks. They sent me message again saying they will log return form on my behalf but still expect me to go to the post office and send them off so back to page one here.

    Am I ok to dispose these as I see fit or?

    Also from when can storage charges be applied?

    I would think you'd have to hold onto them for a year before they're legally yours to do what you like with.

    I just need to invest in a case for it.. Feels slippy in the hands.

    I picked one up in a Vodafone shop.
    I had to buy €20 of Vodafone credit on top that I didn't want.
    And I had to buy €10 of Eir credit with that sim. So I now have 2 excess sims and €30 credit

    Most interesting though the sales guy said there was the possibility of €50 cashback from Google.

    Most interesting though the sales guy said there was the possibility of €50 cashback from Google but wasn't clear on how to claim it. There was a mention of it in the Vodafone brochures lying around but just pointing to vodafone.ie.

    The sales guy went out back and came back with a written url pointing to pixelcashback.com/vodafone which is not a live link.

    Anyone know anything about this cashback? I'll go back to a local vodafone shop and try find the brochure again.

    Wow. So net €129 for this phone? Surely this is a steal rather than a bargain!

    Another pleasant surprise is that the phone isn't sim locked. Working away nicely with a GoMo sim.

    What options do I have to make some use of the €20 Vodafone and €10 Eir credit?

    Is this because you bought it in store? I had a free Eir sim and bought this phone for €179 without having to top up anything.

    it's mental that this phone is available for €129, assuming you get the €50 cashback. Camera is great on it!

    Are the credits already loaded onto the respective SIMs? You could spend the Vodafone credit on things like the Google Play Store etc.

    Eir credit isn't so useful unfortunately, best thing IMO is to text donate to charities that tickle your fancy. See http://likecharity.com

    I think so yes. I don't think I'd have been forced to buy credit if I did it online. The store assistant said it was necessary.

    No I haven't applied them to any account / sim yet.

    Would love to know how many of these Vodafone have sold. I picked mine up a couple of weeks before this thread started, so that's over 4 months of a heavily discounted promotion. I don't think Google themselves have dropped any lower than about €350 for it the entire time.
