Might be a chance of us still getting them for people who started the port before the offer was taken down

The updated Offer terms mention that:

To avail of this Offer, Eligible Customers must; (i) successfully port to Vodafone X from another network (excluding Lyca Mobile), using our online channel, between the dates of 28th September 2020 to 23rd October 2020 inclusive, (ii) top up by at least €20 or more within 14 days of the request to port, and (iii) have used their phone in one of the following ways: make an outgoing phone call, send a text message or avail of data services within 14 days of the request to port.

So it expires today (23rd October), normally you wouldn't need to worry if you successfully ported to Vodafone X by tonight.

I wonder what does successful port mean? I ported from Eir yesterday and my SIM became invalid today. I presume my Vodafone SIM is on the way and I am successfully ported.

Talk about moving the goalposts :eek:.
They are making a complete mess of a good offer.

You need to receive the code and follow the link in the text to buy the buds. When you apply the code it'll bring them down to €0.00. Expect it next Wednesday.

Those were the original t&c's before Vodafone moved the goalposts at least twice

I'm still seeing those terms on the linked page under frequently asked questions. Are the new terms elsewhere?

Atlantic Dawn · 24-10-2020 2:48am

Lately they have become all too restictive, I've had about 5 phone previously through similar schemes of upgrade and switch.

Best have a few eir sims at the ready in case they exclude 48, Tesco and lyca again.

okidoki987 · 24-10-2020 3:17pm

Ordered Sim Thursday 22nd, received today.
Got onto Live Chat to check and after nearly 1 hour online with them, this is what happened.

Agent says firstly, "yes you will still qualify for the Buds offer".
Later on in the conversation, that changes to "no you won't as the number wasn't ported over by 23rd".
Me "I couldn't port as I haven't received the Vodafone Sim which was ordered on 22nd".
Agent: Here's the t&c's which state number must have been ported by 23rd".
Me: "here's the original t&c's which state end date was 30th". (copy and paste from page 1

)
Agent: "No that's wrong it's the 23rd".
Me: "It was changed yesterday".
Agent: "No these haven't changed!, anyway I've checked and you won't qualify".
Me: "Okay cancel the port please".
Agent: "No can do, you have to ring another team to do that".
Me: Gave up.

Not the best way to try and get new customers onboard.

A person I know just shared a link to the promotion that they saw on Facebook, which still links to a working page where you can sign up to the promotion. The link to terms from this page still says the 30th of October for expiry.

You'd think they would just kill the page rather than remove it from the Vodafone website home screen.

It seems to be back now. This page was "not found" yesterday.

Wonder why they have taken it off the home page then?
The offer there is €50 off a phone and €5 extra credit when topping up by €20.

That's interesting.
Same day as I ordered and I was told on Saturday on Live Chat that as I hadn't ported my number over before the 23rd (couldn't as didn't get the Sim until 24th), I wasn't able to avail of the offer

I have a 48 months card that I was considering switching over to from Gomo for the 8 euro deal. But some indicated coverage issues, Gomo has these also but don't want it to get worse. So I could use that card in this offer?

Anyone tried recently?

I used a 48 recruiter sim. The port got rejected the first time but went through on the 2nd attempt. Not sure if that was a fault on Vodafones side or 48s.

T&C's were changed to say didn't apply to 48, Tesco or Lyrca ports but you could port it and try your luck then.
At worst it will cost you €20 Vodafone top up less the cost of 48 for a month and if it's doesn't work, then port it back again.
The port should work, the Buds offer is a different story.

The date for the offer also changed to the 23/10. So offer is now expired.

Just Curouis, did anyone get these Buds delivered? Also, is the offer still open to new entrants?

Thanks

I got them delivered, very happy with them. Sound and battery is good. Usb-c on the charging case is handy too.

The terms keep changing and depending where you look some say it's over and some say it's not, some say 48 is excluded and others don't mention 48. It really is a mess of a promotion. I'm not sure I'd risk it if I hadn't ported over by now.

I got it as well. sound is average at best. Samsung earplugs or Pixel 3A sound better. Battery life, Fit comfort and Small case size are good things.

I'm a bass lover and hence I did not find sound grand.

Worth 20e - Yes

Very straight forward process. Applied the code, price went down to 0, did not have to enter any payment information.

Thank you very much, OP (rizzee)!
