Could you please PM me the link for Ebay please.

bought code from ebay, got code in 10 mins and unlocked no probs with a giffgaff sim :smile:

I just called my local store and they said its £115 +£10 top up, I also called in to a couple of stores and it was £115 with the mandatory £10 top up, no negotiation on the top up either.

Thanks, just PM'd you

Never mind. The two Ebay sellers I had tried sold me duff unlock codes, I seen another recommended on seperate site regarding this phone and that code worked fine. PM me for the auction listing if you need it.

Anyone had any grief unlocking this handset?

Unlock code provided on Ebay doesn't work. Handset was picked up yesterday, inserted Three sim, entered unlock code and get told it's incorrect. It was upgraded to 5.1.1 before attempting the unlock.

also can anyone recommend a good flip case for this.. not find anything decent on amazon/ebay

Quick question, any of you tried 64 or 128gb microSDXC cards in these?
Or more specifically the 64GB Samsung Evo?

For reference the 5.1 update killed Sky Sports Mobile TV but an update to the app last night fixed mine, so ensure you have the latest version of the app. This is still an amazing phone for the money.

PS in my local Vodafone store at 5pm last night it wasn't priced up but when I asked the guy in there he said it would be £115...weird

got mine delivered from amazon today, xmas gift for mother, i'm impressed by the initial looks and feel of it, its same size as my G4, can't believe we canceled a voda contract 3 weeks ago, as we also transferred the number will have to pay for unlocking =( anyone with a link to a good unlock code seller that can do asap?

why is still not expired as deal didn't even exist

Just a heads up that Voda are Xmas gouging on this phone now.

Just returned from a trip to their North Wales Llandudno store to pick one up. The 100 quid would have been a bonus, but I was happy to pay the going price of £115.

When one was fetched from the stockroom, they refused to sell it to me as "the computer" scanned it at £150 + additional £10 topup, for a total price of £160. I informed the manager I wasn't happy about that and showed the website advertising it for £115 right there and then on my mobile and also pointed to the same phone, on the shelf 2 feet away from me for - yep, £115 on the price card.

I was given a lame excuse about prices being updated and this wasn't supposed to happen till tomorrow, but because it was close to 5pm it had gone through on the system early. To this I replied, "so this phone, which till this point in time has been 115 quid, goes up to £160, on Xmas Eve?". The Manager, completely unfazed stood there nodding. "Do you not think that's bit unethical and obvious price-gouging for Xmas sales? Aren't you obliged to sell the item at the price advertised both online and in-store at this point in time? Your computer system and the price it says is not my problem, you should honour your advertised price".

Wouldn't budge. Absolutely shameless.

Ordered it online as soon as I got home for 115 for in-store delivery. Going to be having strong words with the manager when I go pick it up and getting in touch with their regional manager after Xmas. Apalling behaviour.

Once Unlocked will 4g work on all networks?

Just a mention, in the last few days, I've seen this phone at £75 (today oos) and the lower spec First for £25, both at Alphington Road Sainsbury's in Exeter.

You sure, can see the Smart Prime at £75 but the Ultra is showing at £115?

Amazon selling for same price with no top up required.

so non vodafone customer's still need to pay £10 top up? bit of a bummer that.

£115 in Falkirk. They wouldn't budge on the £10 required top-up, so effectively £125. Will just order from Amazon when it's next in stock.

115 it Fareham store

Definitely NOT national. Went into the story today and they said its £115 (Vodafone) or £125 (unlocked).

What's the vibrate like on these? Haven't had a phone with a decent vibrate that I could actually feel in my pocket since before smart phone days.

original zte version available from argos £99

I got this phone about 8 weeks ago to test out signal on Vodafone. Cracking piece of kit for the money. Defo worth a punt as you get so much bang for your buck. Sadly though i will be selling it as ive had enough of Android.

Dropped mine in a bucket of water yesterday. Working perfectly today.

This is easily the best phone I have owned.

Checked 2 local stores. Both stores £115. One store even checked on their system. Strange one.

Any other confirmed purchases? or someone whose been in like me to be told its £115.

£100 in Vodafone Brighton

Moto G killer is back :man:

Would anyone be able to confirm whether a talkmobile (they use Vodafone's network) sim would work without having to unlock the phone? Thanks for any replies.

I was thinking about 2nd hand but decided to get flex 2 instead.

Ar5e holes in Vodafone stores make it up as they go along

Thought it was the OneplusTwo

This or used 16gb G3 or OnePlus One?

Hello, After unlock can this phone be used in a foreign country with a any local sim?
Thanks.

I cannot overstate how terrible I think Vodafone, and especially its stores are, they are the most unhelpful company I've ever encountered! But it is a good price.

Hope you're right. Il check it out tomorrow as been waiting for the price drop.

One store specific? Price error? Needs to be confirmed by a few stores/people to be hot as was priced £115 when I was instore in the morning. They could have changed in the afternoon. Website could update overnight.

it's been £100 several times over the last month or so.

I have one as a second phone and it really is a great phone for the money, especially now that it's on 5.1.1 . I paid £2 to unlock via ebay the day I got it.

People might not be aware that this recently updated to android 5.1.1... Issues such as non playing of sky go have now been rectified.... It's a great phone with amazing battery life

Hot :smiley: - I have one of these - paid £125 and it is still well worth that ... definitely recommend a case to protect it

Typical just purchased from amazon last week for 115

Can you please show your bill as proof?

thanks op! heat added!

No! Hot OP.

honestly such a great phone, only let down is the camera, but even then it isn't that bad, I sold my G3 due to poor battery life, this gives me between 6-7 hours screen on time everyday, whereas my G3 with the same amount of battery gave me 3-4 hours.

cant fault the phone 1 bit

For those that say cheap phone, not Android 6.0, dodgy software implementation...
I have a Nexus 7 fully updated to 6.0.1. It refuses point blank to play the little video clips on the BBC News website and won't load Facebook messages from certain people (v weird!). So I pick up my Smart Ultra 6 and it does both things instantly and flawlessly. Hoorah for Vodafone!

Still £115 on their website......

Last phone I bought from the Vodafone shop didn't need a top up as already with them

I previously brought one without a topup, so no change in policy as I can see

Was told I'd need a top-up and said it was a gift and recipient was already on Vodafone so no top-up needed.

 
In the past top-up's were needed even if already on Vodafone - has this policy changed?
 

Yes probably not, but I can hope.

Hope amazon price match as I bought this from them recently!
