You had a few EE handsets ordered ? Maybe just a card issue?

A referred order means you've failed a credit check.

Is the £20 a straightforward topup that goes on your phone or is it a pack that lasts only a month?

When I phone to ask about my order I also asked them this and they said it will be as a code on a receipt

Does anyone know if the sim card can be used to buy games using Google Wallet?

Assume so, its says £20 top up not a EE pack.

So free smartphone if you buy £20 of Google Play credit? Hot and bought!

I bought one of these from Sainsburys and it is the worst Android phone I've ever had, very unresponsive to touch and very slow and laggy. Really wouldn't advise it for day to day use.

but you should not need credit check for a payg thingy
Stop buying any & everything with your credit card! You aint got the dosh, & you`ve reached your spending limit. Be satisfied with the mountains of unwanted carp ( :smirk: ) your house is already filled with.
Merry Christmas. :smile:

99p unlock on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Unlock-Code-Alcatel-One-Touch-4009A-4009X-4009D-Pixi-3-Unlocking-Code-Service-/221385888207?hash=item338ba091cf:g:APoAAOxyeZNTUsce - I got the unlock code within a couple of minutes and it worked fine.
I went into my local ee shop & they agreed to make the £20 a topup on my existing number. It took absolutely ages to do, I'm pretty sure the offer is meant to be for a pack. I also went into carphonewarehouse as they have the same deal but they said the £20 needs to go on a new SIM and will be a pack, not just a PAYG topup. Having said that I've previously phoned EE customer services (don't use the new SIM or it will activate the pack!) and got them to switch the credit to ordinary PAYG and cancel the pack.

If you scroll down to the bottom there's an option that says "or just top up". Select £20 credit.

How do you convert top up credit to google play credit
Anyone figured out how to root this? I've tried Kingoroot, Baiduroot, Rootmaster with no success.

Half correct but still completely wrong, it does not have GPS it has Assisted Global Position Sat, meaning the mobile network assists the things flying about above your head in space for a faster fix :wink:

I got this in store, depending on what the staff has in mind you might get a couple of other extras on this if it doesn't expire by tomorrow. I got a Google Cardboard by EE and 10£ Google Play credit as they had an advert saying you get it (but I think they made a mistake as you only get 10£ Google Play with bigger pixi online) and could have taken 500MB for a year on a spare sim, but decided 10£ is actually more worth it as I don't really spend my data anyway...
The phone itself I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, if you have ever used a decent phone (in my eyes moto e or moto g satisfy this definition) you will hate this enough to make it unusable as a backup phone, I am even more scared of my phone malfunctioning knowing I would use this until I fix it...
That said after you root it and install Lollipop without crap (Google it there is allegedly something like this) it might become usable, but haven't had time to try it by now...

Isn't this a better deal through CPW as phone already unlocked?
