It is locked as I put a Lyca sim in and it asks for a network lock control key

I got it delivered to my dad's work and he says it was there before he got there and it was Royal mail

This phone is only for Drug dealers

Just a reminder to anyone who still has one of these phones, that you can now request a free unlock from EE as a PAYG customer.

I only paid £5 top up as £5 was already on SIM but unlock code took 2 weeks

how long did it take, im considering it but dont think ee deserve 8.99 for unlocking when three do it for free, also considering the phone cost £2.99!

anyone know a working unlock for this (dont mind paid)

Were you able to get it unlocked?

Just topped up £5 so £10 credit in total and submitted unlock request via this link. Says it takes up to 10 days so I'll keep u posted.

I bought this phone and got the EE pack with the offer but BEFORE I activated the sim I was told tat EE wont work in my home location very well. I use the Samsung as a little radio and worth the small cost just for that. I want to now use the sim pack I got to try and unlock a EE phone a friend had. I think I heard you can use that credit as part of the unlock cost. Wont put the sim in the other phone until I know what to do.. Look forward to good advise please. THANKS IN ANTICIPATION

Did anyone who bought this phone manage to unlock from EE?

is anyone else still waiting for delivery?

Unlocking tips

Finally arrived today and it's a brilliant bit of very stylish kit, especially for the endprice of minus 2 quid! Keypad seems clunky compared with the Nokia basic phones I've owned, but that's a very minor niggle at this price.
The good news is that, although it's locked, my old Orange SIM works fine in it, so have ordered a Delight SIM (which apparently also piggybacks on the EE network) and will give that a try when it arrives... fingers crossed.

I type in *#simlock# and it suggests all the locks are off - I don't have a standard sim to test though - are they definitely network locked?

Surprised there's nobody on fleabay offering a cheapo unlock

still havent reveived my order yet?

I agree preachy but there must be a way to connect to it?

the pack is worth keeping as ee charge 40p minute for calls.

I tried. It fits 63% of a song ..... :disappointed:

the Phone arrived and there was seemingly just a £1 SIM card in the box. Thought its was £5 so whats the procedure I need to do to get this SIM offer accepted for the phone?

Is there no way you can put some MP3 music files on the Phone via a miniUSB to normalUSB cable?

I can confirm that my Delight Mobile SIMs do NOT work in my E1270, which is indeed strange.

However my TPO (The People's Operator) SIM does work.

It will be interesting to see whether or not Virgin and ASDA SIMs are accepted...

Thanks. Fingers crossed. There was post here in Scotland though, it's not an official holiday here.

Anyone else still waiting on theirs to arrive?

Previously I had the Delight sim in a 100% unlocked OAP big button type phone.
The displayed network for the Delight sim was T-Mobile UK - unfortunately a visiting relative liked the look of that phone and took it home with them!

Earlier in the this thread it was said that a Delight sim, (along with many others) should have been okay with the E1270. I am disappointed but at £3 I cannot complain.

Does not work out of the box with Delight Mobile, as I hoped it would have.

Is this phone locked to EE only? I was under the impression that EE was only for 4G services?!

Yes I am in the same boat looking for a cheap unlock? And by cheap, I mean free.

I got a couple for my grandparents (nice and simple) they are unfortunately on O2 so I need to sort out unlocking. I'm hoping the chap at our local boot sale can oblige. Because I've found nothing on eBay.

same for me.

works for the peoples operator.and orange.not vectone.

Any one unlock code on eBay ?

As someone else said previously, I'm just going to use this phone as a back-up Emergency one. Can't complain for the price! :smiley:

my pack stopped cost per minute for the calls 40p.

If you don't want the Pack, text STOP PACK to 150 and answer YES when they reply.

i ordered one phone then after 20 minutes ordered an other one i got 2 packages.

Got this at £2.99 - it just has the 25 mins/50 texts on it and No Credit. Anyone got the £4 Credit on theirs??

anyone tried the unlocking site mentioned

The E1270 Charger also fits my Moto G! :smiley:

Sorry, I literally just got a text... thanks for topping up £5.
I did send AL to 150. Dunno if that makes a difference.

Now I received text message - Your 1.oo Talk&Text Pack is now ready to use.

Next pack


£1 Talk & Text Pack

7-day / £1.00

Due to start 10 Apr 2015
(as soon as your current pack ends)

I registered my phone to ee.co.uk and now it shows that it has 4.00 credit.

i made a call to the ee number as phil mitchell suggested that seem to kick start it i think

I have the same issue, sent stop pack... just says 0 credit

Hi I followed what you wrote i got a text £0.00

Sorry just got a text to confirm I got £5.00. Thanks for the tip.

I made a call to the phone, then got a text saying thanks for the £5 top up .

I ordered 2 and they came this morning both in the padded envelope. Same here, no £4 credit or minutes/texts

No £4 credit.
I'd also like to unlock but not sure about the forum site mentioned. Has anybody tried another company that shares the same network ass EE ? I was wondering if an Asda sim card would work as they use EE network.

I set up the phone for my daughter so she can use it just at school, got a text and it said thanks for topping up £5 .

Has anyone managed to use the method on gsmhosting site to unlock the phone?

Any easy option to unlock this phone ?

I got the email out for shipping tonight about 8pm hope I get the phones before Friday.

Yes received the shipped email around 8 45 this morning and the text message from Parcelfore around 6 15 this evening

Rcvd a text to say will be delivered tomorrow

this deal in the ee store £9.99 + you have to buy £10 credit.

Got a dispatched email today.. will wait and see!

It also came with some earphones too which makes the deal even more of a bargain!

It is locked as I put a Lyca sim in and it asks for a network lock control key

I got it delivered to my dad's work and he says it was there before he got there and it was Royal mail

Got mine delivered today. Anyone else get theirs? Also thanks to the op again :smiley:

If this is still in stock then we are one lucky cunxxxnts.
Because that means we will still get them after those 100s of sales

anybody got a shipping date yet.

15% code MARCHSALEDAY6 works if you order 2 phones. so it works out £4.25 per phone

Back in stock but at £4.99.

In the Metro news today Samsung phone goes on sale for £3 - less than a pint.

if you want a cheap unlocked phone I think asda do the alcatel 1010 for £4

Already wrote to mine in anticipation and got a reply saying he'll be ordering one for himself! Worse news is, he'll be claiming it on his expenses :smirk:

Dear Mr./Mrs./Ms. Xxxxxxxxxx

Thank you for making this promotion a phenomenal success. Due to the amzing response we have sold just over 3K phones. As you can imagine this is a lot of phones to pack and dispatch. We will endevour to get all phones out as soon as possible but there may be some delay in dispatch. Please note that I will be marking all orders as dispatched on Monday as I need to know where i've got to in regards new orders for next week.

Thank you in advice for your patience in this matter

Regards Paul

This phone is only for Drug dealers

Recieved an email that they've sold 3k handsets, they're really chuffed about it too, too many to pack and send hence there will be a delay!

Nevertheless it's a deal

3000 HANDSETS SOLD.


YOU GREEDY HOT DEALERS .

Seems like they've sold a few as I just got this email from them:

is this touch screen?

OOS now

Ordered

Send an email to ask the trader, these unlock traders do many phones than what they list on eBAY especially for the older style phones as they are not as popular these days.

Hot deal, but a friendly word of caution for anyone planning to spend actual money topping up their new EE sim - I noticed that unsolicited texts were eating up £1.50 a time on my brand new EE PAYG sim (when I got a text saying I had only 50p left), I tried to call customer services (which was shut anyway) and found that they charge £0.25 per call just to try and report a fraud!

so not for this phone???? really

eBay , I used trader called yz.communications.ltd , very prompt service, all done in an hour or less. Reminder this was for an Alcatel One Touch PoP S3 that was on ChittyChatter/Rakutan recently.

how to unlock from o2.... can I know please

Where did u get the £1 unlock code from?

same here, cheap enough as a spare without the 30p

code


where did u you get your codes from? might need 1

code not working

I see, I had to unlock (£1 for each unlock code) two of that Alcatel Pop S3 locked to EE in order to use Giffgaff(O2). (As soon as I put a Giffgaff sim in the locked EE phone asked for unlock code.)

We I guess Olly from TCB has got to pay for his next million pound property from "extras" somehow! :smile:

Ordered no problem
Thanks OP.

Rip off! !!

The TCB 12.6% + the extra 10% off code [MARCHSALEDAY3] is NOT working, thus you get the 2 at £5.98 + the 12.6% TCB, which ends at midnight tonight if you are thinking about buying 2!

Tried 2 other purchases yesterday, without the TCB and neither worked with todays [MARCHSALEDAY4] 15% off code OR the 10% off one, this may be payment or browser based issues, but looks like you cannot have both discounts today!

Strange, I ordered 2, code wouldn't work. However, unlike others, the order went through with no problems.

Ordered 2 tho no code working

Can somebody tell me what is cheapest or free successful unlocking method for this phone?

no way they have this in stock!

Ordered one.. Great deal.

im registered, still couldnt

i can unlock for £99.99

Can you only enter codes if you register and not if using guest logins?

Finally succumbed. Thanks OP.

anyone able to use a Virgin sim in this?

I can't order too. I wanted 1 for a child.

Can't seem to buy now. Giving errors for no reason.

Bargain

Hot hot hot

Thanks OP ordered two.

Ordered 2. Heated.

Can it work with o2?

If the credit lasted forever I could see the point in having these to put in the car for emergencies. As it doesn't last forever I can't see the point? Burner phones for terrorists? :/

Not sure on this, ....comparing this to an iphone 6.......

:stuck_out_tongue:

Yep £3 for a phone with £4 credit (which I'll donate to charity) seems good to me.

A great 'burner' phone for anyone up to anything nefarious.

Ordered a couple also!

Thanks OP.

Ordered two

I must be late but ordered 2. Surely they would not have this many. Awaiting cancelled emails.

thanks have to send my phone to get repaired so this is great

Ordered through tcb for 12% cashback plus the option for a further 10% back with the provided code, if it works then better than just using marchsaleday4 , hope and see.

And heat!

Bought from the same seller last week with the EE e1270 with £10 credit for £11 deal, phone came in fine. packaging could be better but its was sufficient and the phone was cheap, brand new and sealed so cannot complain. Btw its a 3rd party seller on rakuten.

cheers OP + Heat, ordered 2 more for parents/spares :stuck_out_tongue: lol

Fab deal. :sunglasses:

This thread is less than 8 hours old, so it seems more than a little unlikely that anyone ordering as a result of this would have received anything yet.

have any one received the order? Looks like lots of negative reviews about the website..

They are old posts though on rakuten.com...
there had been few credit card fraads also reported in the past..

Heat added, if it had a external display I would have been in.

Handy for the car. TY!

Ordered 2, put the code in and it didn't recognise it in the checkout.

However - The code DID work when you see the payment confirmation, saving 90p. Two phones for a total of £5.08.

Bargain.

ordered 4 2 separate transactions

Just bought 2 had no problem at checkout great deal

you can unlock it for £8 direct from EE using airtime balance. http://ee.co.uk/help/getting-started/joining-ee/unlocking-your-phone

blimey, £2.99 Radio with built in mobile phone... ordered 2 for the kids for days out wont matter if they loose it then !!

heat added. Ordered 2....would be rude not to at this price!

Seems it would cost £35 from some reputable sites

Thats laughable

Seem a beeatch to unlock

Shame would have liked it on o2

Hot for price

Thanks. I went for 2, the checkout was a nightmare as it kept giving an error and I checked out as a guest in the end.

Have some heat. Ordered 2. Code didn't work.

Bought one. Had a lot of trouble with checkout. Persistent error on (saved) payment details. Reentered details several times, but no joy. The solution was to delete saved payment details. Restart the checkout and enter new card details during the actual checkout. Phew!....

just ordered two. voucher code does not work!

Bargs!

Thanks op ordered one caz. I don't need one

Has a standby of nine years.
HOT!!!

Comment

Good question ... Any other option to unlock ?

can this unlock be trusted?

ordered thanks, nice emergency handset.

Haven't had a pay as you go for years, quick question.. Do you have to top this up one a week/month to keep it going? Was going to buy for wife to only receive calls rather then call out

Thanks OP, ordered 2!

thanks op great price and very good little phone hot :stuck_out_tongue:

was going to go for two but gone for one just as a spare for less than a pint.

2 4 me 2. Code no. Heat.

bought two :-)
the same,,, code doesn' t work

Ordered, thanks OP.

Thanks; however the voucher code doesn't work

It's a good idea to have a business phone and casual use phone! Fantastic heat added!

I'll label the phones so u know which one I'm using! :wink:

Heat added, phones bought for backup and nights out. Thanks

It is worth trying an alternative sim in the handset if you are just getting the deal for the phone. I've tried Vodafone sim in an Orange phone and it worked fine.

Right at the bottom near place nord er it asks for email twice!

Finally got it working. Seems it was rejecting because I didn't have a telephone number in (wish it had told me!!)

ordered 2 thanks

Couldn't get this to work. Code wouldn't work (yes, had to in basket to get it over £5), and tried 2 different credit cards and not accepting, saying please correct the following errors, and shows none!!

What's the point putting a code in when they may sell out in that time.
I ordered without a code

hot, ordered thanks

I've tried ordering but when I click on the "place order" button, it slowly loads and kicks me back to the page where I fill in my details. tried twice now and happened both times.

unlocking cost? any one

I ordered two used the voucher code as stated but it said not acepted, but in final payment it shows the discount -£0.90 hopefully they still honour it.

Like being back in the 90s with this stylish flip phone.

Hold on, I'll just go get my crystal ball...

thxs ordered 2
anyone know how long mobile will last ,2g switch off at some point ?

ORDERED 2 ENOUGH HEAT ADDED :wink::wink:

Are the phones unlocked?

Really cannot fault this deal.

2 ordered , thanks

Is phone unlocked by default or locked to EE out the box? Thanks.

TCB 12.12%.

This would not.let me buy not impressed

That voucher doesn't work.

Ordered, thanks.

How do u enter the 15% off

use code MARCHSALEDAY4 to get 15% off too.
see hotukdeals voucher tab.

thank you ordered 2 it will make cheap work phone and one for the other half.

Thanks OP two on order
