Just seen this...it's a steal at this price chichi :laughing:

I don't know which statement I disagree most with:

- equipped with a 4-inch WQHD capacitive touchscreen for rich visuals and detailed graphics
or
- capture high quality photos and videos with sound with the Smart first 6’s built-in 2-megapixel camera
or
- runs on the powerful Dual-core processor that provides speedy web browsing with seamless multitasking

but I think it has to be:

- Vodafone apps allow you to connect and share with confidence

Ordered right away.



Ta OP

No Chanchi you cant eat a phone! :wink:

Hi has anyone had their money from cex I am still waiting

Anyone figured out how to block numbers and texts on this???

white is back in stock as of 23:51 25th Feb http://www.tesco.com/direct/vodafone-smart-first-6-white/166-3956.prd

Oh I'm sorry. I didn't realise I had to post deals to be able to view the site and comment. Thanks for keeping me up to date. Bore off man. The guys comment was rude, obnoxious and uncalled for. Go ahead and defend him if you want. Just makes you look equally douchy. Have a GREAT day.

And you are an Internet police ?
I don`t buy it.
It was a dense question
and
you are no different to him or her by calling on the person acting like a
douche !
now off you go !

And contribute maybe posting more then 2 deals in the last 5 years !!

I'm not and didn't claim to be. I just don't understand why someone would intentially go out of their way to post a comment that can only upset or anger someone. Not everyone has the same education, life experiences etc. Basically, the guy acted like a douche and I called him out on it.

Since when did you become a MOD?

How is the OP meant to know what is a modern version of Android? Just because you know something doesn't mean every one else should. The question wasn't "dense". As I said before, you could have just answered the question like a normal person or just ignored it entirely. Instead you post a snarky reply to try and embarrass the guy. Never look down on someone unless you are helping them up.

I've bought the phone and unlock code, can anybody help this novice with the unlocking process

As expected. Good job I offloaded mine for £22 on Sunday :wink:

Looks like CeX have catches on, they now only pay £12 for them!

Yup!

Anyone who has got this phone tell me how to close the apps you have open.

On every android phone I've had the right hand square button opens the homescreen with cascasding windows
of currently running apps and you swipe to close one at a time.

This phone doesn't seem to do that. How do I get the cascading apps screen, please?

Yet, it does state that it will take a 32GB card.

cheers i think i will do that if its possible, i know with the moto E it showed that you unlocked the bootloader even when you relocked the bootloader again so hopefully it wont throw up a fuss if i do it

Wrong - it supports up to 32GB

Thanks running Nova Launcher Pro - just didn't work out Long Press rather than 'quick' press
Happy now

R

Put a cheap £3-4 16GB Kingston card that I got from Amazon UK yesterday.
Seems to work fine.

Thanks for your reply, but I did try an 8gb card which was also unrecognised. I've just reformatted card from fat32 to ntfs and seems to have done the trick. Thankyou :-)

Menu key
• Touch: display menu options. On the Home screen,
touch to access Wallpaper, Widgets and Settings.
• Touch & hold: this shows you images of your most
recently-used apps. Touch an image to open the
associated app, or swipe it left or right to remove it
from the list.

Just got this from the Pdf posted above. Haven't tried it yet

Has anyone else had problems with an SD card? Tried 2 cards - 32gb and 8gb - both were working in other devices (hudl and moto E). The Smart First isn't even recognising that a card has been inserted.......

Can you explain the methodology to be used to remove bloatware without rooting?
Thanks

Easy go into apps and uninstall everything vodafone.

The vodafone update app can't however, be uninstalled and should be set to disable...

Can you explain the methodology to be used to remove bloatware without rooting?

Thanks

The little bloat ware that comes with the phone can be removed easily without rooting

Same way you used the other one, transfer the Kingroot APK to the phone and install it then run the application.
I used the NewKingrootV4.50.apk from this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62665551&postcount=2 Kingroot didn't work for me after several tries but it might work for you.

Thanks nuds. How do I use the Kingroot method? Any small guide would help. Bit of a newbie here.

Thanks

Pretty useful manual for this handset on the Vodafone website!

https://www.vodafone.com/content/dam/group/devices/downloads/smartfirst/VF_VF695_GB_UM_Eng_GB_09_150326.pdf

You could always root it, uninstall the bloatware then unroot it again.

Hi again guys,

I was just about to install CM 12.1 on the SF6 when I came across the below forum post from the 'Alcatel One Touch Pixi 3 (3.5)(4)(4.5) Official Thread [ROOT][RECOVERY][ROMS]' forum on XDA developers.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/root-alcatel-one-touch-pixi-34-official-t3193624/page82


Has anyone else had this same issue after flashing on to their SM6? I actually would want to use this as a backup phone so I would need telephone calls to work.:laughing:

Edit : I just noticed it is listed under known bugs for the ROM,I guess I'll follow the forum a little while longer to see if this is resolved. I don't think the stock ROM is all that bad once debloated of the Vodafone additions.

Cheers guys!

i thought you have to root it in order to uninstall all the junk that vodafone preinstalled and run most apps from the sd card instead of the ones it chooses

You will get that with certain apps (Sky Go is another app that won't install on rooted devices).
I don't see the benefit of rooting this.... once you've removed the Vodafone apps there's very little on the phone and it runs pretty smoothly - why would you want to root?

Cheers for info i'm stronly considering doing this, however have you had any issues with apps saying unable to install app due to rooted device, i had a moto e previously and rooted it and kept having issues, i can't remember was bbc iplayer one of those affected

So you've installed the APK and it fails to root after running it and waiting for the % to go up? It takes a few tries (took me 6) but if it doesn't work then you might have to try the Kingroot method.

Thanks, yes that is the best option left, considering cost return not seem to be a better alternative

​could be a fault in handset.. try getting a replacement.

I did, and screen got so much non responsive that after the reset it seems quite hard to type wifi password and google account details, as screen keep taking the wrong letters in. Reset doest had any impact. May need to request replacement,

Which file are you trying to use to root? Kingroot or Root.apk?[/quo

Im using root.apk

My phone screen is becoming non responsive, phone and keyboards are not responsive and typing incorrect alphabets. Any one having the same issue?

Which file are you trying to use to root? Kingroot or Root.apk?

I cant seem to root this device, have loaded the zip file onto SD card, but upon going to update, starts and then immediately says update aborted.

Any help and ideas please? What am I missing?

Many thanks in advance.

I am not sure what you call most times, in my experience flubit always delivered and only once said the price you found is the best (Amazon Fire TV Stick). BTW I received the phone and it was sent by Tesco. Not sure how do they do it!

Don't forget to remove the camera lens protector :smiley:

I received mine yesterday delivered for £18 from Tesco.

Agree with the 8/10 rating.

For me it's a 2nd phone, my work phone is an iPhone 5s and given that cost over 20 times more then this is remarkably good for the price. The weak points are the camera and also likely the screen as its not gorilla glass and I'm sure will scratch easily.

But it's a real smart phone, pretty quick, love the fact I can put a 32gb micro SD card in for music and films etc. I was amazed came with a proper wall charger and even headphones, this is a bargain and ideal as a first introduction to a smart phone, 2nd phone, media player to a chromecast etc.

White is still £15 on Amazon too.

Great - thank you. Embarrassed I didn't even check that. Just ordered.

My phone has just packed in and while it's being repaired, I remembered this had popped up and I thought at the time that it would be good for a spare - but now out of stock. Lesson learnt here? Don't ever buy an LG phone. Oh, and strike while the iron's hot, or something like that. :disappointed:

I've bought three now!

Gr8 phone for the kids and one for grand dad.

No need for rooting, bloat can be uninstalled and the speed of the phone is fine for what it is.

Thanks OP :smiley:

thanks OP. ordered and unlocked in 2 mins. thanks to an Ebayer

Agreed....I returned a Moto G (3G) to Tesco about a year ago as I was slightly disappointed in it for, AFAIR, ~£95 - especially the camera! The camera on this phone seems as good as the Moto but, at £15, it's just fine!
Never mind the iPhone (which, at least, gives a totally different user experience) this handset seems to do most of what High-end Androids costing ~£400 do!
About my score as well!

Ouch..... that must have been painful twigging.

Hard to get the back off the damn phone . Had to ask a 7 year old for help :confused:

Picked this phone up yesterday and bought the unlock code from the eBay seller mentioned in one of the earlier posts. No problems.
I bought it for my 8 year old as her first phone. I deleted all the unnecessary crap, made the home screen simplified and must admit, for the price you pay, you can't go wrong.
Installed Cinema Box (newer version of Playbox) and it casts to my Chromecast with no problems.
http://www.pgyer.com/cinemaboxandroid

I'm going to give this phone a 8/10 rating.

Right, for £15, what do you get? A phone, and not a bad one at that.

In the box - Sim card and a token pair of headphones / microphone. Fair enough if you don't want to look like Lt. Uhura with a stupid looking Bluetooth headphone stuck in your ear. Gets you going hands free anyhoo.

Plug in the wall USB charger. With data cable. Have a mmmmm..... nice in the Harry Enfield show Jazz Club Style for that little touch.
But, WTF??? I bought a Motorola G 4G just before Xmas, and that didn't come with a charger! PPPPPfffffbbbbbb IN YOUR FACE Motorola!

The phone itself.... Perfect.
Its got a camera for quick shots that you won't be sending off to a professional printers for a 20"x20" canvas.
But, if its a quick photo or video of something, then in good daylight, I've seen a lot worse.
It has the interwebnet. Excellent. I can read the news, look at pictures of THINGS and read HUKD.
Email. I go thru webmail anyway, but it has a basic email client built in.
Youtube. Very good. I can let the little one watch more episodes of In the Night Garden that I care to worry about without thinking "oh no, shes dropped it in the bath or drawn crayons over it." - and the screen resolution isn't bad either.
All these idiots shouting "crappy screen resolution"...... erm, this is a phone. Not a bloody 50" UHD flat panel for watching blockbuster movies on.

Want an IPhone made in the same style of chinese factory but pay a silly amount of money for? Go right ahead.
Anyway, the little one has dropped it already. From her height of about 90cm.
And it survived.

Yeah. definitely 8/10.

How does this compare to the first gen Moto E (3G)

Thanks

Yes, I unlocked mine today to use with my 3 sim.

Works fine. 3g only of course.

This is an excellent find, thanks! My phone died a couple of days ago and I'm totally skint. I needed a cheap replacement to make do with 'til my fella upgrades his phone in a few months, so I thought I'd give this a go. Ordered yesterday and collected it today, and now I'm using it with my Three sim thanks to the 99p ebay unlock code recommended a few pages back. Seems fine so far. A bit laggy but I wasn't expecting miracles for £15!

Unlock code worked at second attempt, sausage fingers. :neutral_face:
Heard today someone spent £8 on a phone cable in Maplins, same connections as the one included with this phone, but half the length. :smile:
Makes the phone even better value, especially with the usb wall wart.

Using as cheap sat nav ( with Here maps) and mp3 player £15 well worth it

I picked mine up today and unlocked via ebay. For £15 its actually not that bad. Shame its off to CEX really...

The latter. Cheapskate :stuck_out_tongue:

I bought 2 of these and have unlocked one phone. Can anyone advise, would it be worth trying the same unlock code to unlock the second one, or simply it will not work and I need a unique code for the second phone.

OOS

Cheers Nuds,

I appreciate taking the time to bring this together in one place, fingers crossed for a working CM tonight!

Thank you Nuds! I'll give this ago tonight, hopefully this will work for me and others. I take it you just use the Pixi 3 -4 ROMS and software? Any chance of providing the links for the software you used so others only need to go to one place?

Cheers

Does the showbox app work on this mobile phone ?

I got this phone now and I can say it's not a bad phone..it's very convenient and reliable maybe slightly slower than the usual quad core 1.8ghz but otherwise deserves praise for its performance and reliability..

Yeah I also got the white line in recovery. It goes away once you boot into the system though.


The guides are actually pretty straight forward in terms of what to do i.e. do A, then B, then C. The issue is when you actually do it you get unexpected errors or different results, then you have to figure out how to fix it and get back on track.
For example when I followed the root guide in the second link using Kingroot, neither of the APK or PC version worked for me at all. I had to root using the first link (Root.apk), and this took around 6 tries, a few re-installs plus the root application is all in Chinese.

Essentially you need to:
1. Root your phone (Try the Kingroot.APK first, install the PC version at your own risk though, I sand-boxed mine because it's most likely Chinese spyware. The root.APK worked for me from the first link)
2. Flash a custom recovery (TWRP, Clockworkmod, I used CTRrecovery.img in the second link) using applications like Flashify or Rashr (I used Rashr from Google Play)
3. Install your chosen ROM using recovery (I installed Cyanogenmod 12.1 Bugless, if you use this remember to also install Gapps IMMEDIATELY after the ROM or you need to reinstall everything)

But you'll need to read the specific steps in the guides and you'll most likely need to switch between the guides as the most straight forward steps probably won't work the first time.

Hi guys,

For those that have successfully rooted and flashed a different ROM on their phone can you post a brief tutorial on the process you have used? You would save others the heartache and frustration? I'm sure many would appreciate and benefit from your experience.

I understand that the telephone is a repackaged Alcatel Pixi 3 - 4. But the XDA instructions are not very clear to me (maybe I'm just being thick) when I read through the process with so many other Mediatek phones.

It might be worth having a forum or posting somewhere like Modaco as I'm sure a lot of people will have snapped these phones up at £15 and if you can run CM acceptably then surely this must be one of the phone bargains of the year.

Cheers!

No good for showbox, yes you can watch films on the phone screen but it's too slow to cope with chromecast.

Picked one of these up today and unlocking code came within minutes,
not the most amazing phone but can't go wrong for £15
HEAT

OMG what a load of headache rooting ! I am normally pretty spot on rooting flashing bricking unbricking apk adb etc.

This phone is a ball ache for rooting! Eventually I got it rooted and flashed recovery and tried MiUI 7 rom which looks pretty but slow and installing CM12.1 as I type this, Already soft bricked twice and recovered. CM12.1 is pretty nippy but very plain and GAPPS needs flashing separately. CM actually runs a lot faster than Vodafone ROM.



Do you get a white line right at the TOP ? when you are in recovery or in system ?(after turn the screen off and back on again it goes away)

I'm quite tempted to try this although ill need to check my model as i bought it last year for £25 aslong as i dont get alot of the apps saying unable to install on a rooted device, my phone mainly gets used for bbc iplayer but the phones so laggy as most of the apps are uninstallable and continue to run all the time plus the vodafone stuff is horrible.

Picked mine up on way home this evening.
Put it on charge, around 6pm applied for unlock code from ebay seller recommended in post #205.
Had code by 6.10pm, not yet tried it. (Food required).
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221386794738?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

All of the apps you list (apart from 'Updates') are un-installable. Simply hold on the app in the app drawer, then drag it to the 'uninstall' text at the top of the screen.

The 'updates' app can disabled so that it doesn't get updated in the store, and doesn't waste system resources. Hold on the app in the app drawer, then drag it to 'App Info', then tap the 'disable' button on the app info screen.

I wouldn't recommend rooting the phone, as you are likely to get no benefit from it. You should only root a phone if you have a valid reason to.

It's social engineering, they word it in a easily understandable but technically sound way so non-technical people end up downloading and installing malware.

I've managed to root and install CM 12.1 after a few hours of swearing and fiddling around :smiley:
It's slightly faster than stock, definitely worth it for £15.


The guides I followed were:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/vodafone-smart-6-vf695-rooted-t3306248
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/root-alcatel-one-touch-pixi-34-official-t3193624

This model is the Alcatel OT Pixi 3-4 (3G MODEL). I wouldn't recommend rooting/messing around with it if you don't know what you are doing. Then again it's £15 so it's a nice phone to get started on rooting if you wanted to try it out.

Yes you would wonder at the mentality of someone creating a web-site and web-pages with plausible descriptions of what this alleged ROM is and does - but with no real content! The 'software' that you can download from this site isn't even a phone image at all!

Without rooting the phone you wont be able to uninstall those apps.

Which apps would recommend deleting :
-discover,
-my web,
-smart tips ,
- updates
All of the above or just some ?

And how do I remove them ?

Looks like some bods on XDA have installed alternative roms using those designed for the Alcatel One Touch mobiles.

I'll look into it when mine arrives...

​FAKE

Can it be rooted to block all the bloat? This or Lumia 435?

Has anyone installed the lollipop rom?

http://www.lollipopupdate.xyz/tag/vodafone-smart-first-6-custom-rom

is the performance much difference?

how the heck do you remove the annoying voda messaging app? everytime i restart the phone i get a pop up about enabling chat. i have changed the default sms app to hangouts and still get this annoying alert

Just pick up mine, if I not happy with performance, how do you return open phone at Tesco? What reason do you give ?

any suggestions on a case for this fone?

I have only ever bought unlocked phones, so if I take the nano out of my present phone, put in an adaptor, put in this phone, get the unlock code from ebay, put it in, the phone becomes unlocked and I can take out the sim and return it to my usual phone?

No your right but it's an old SIM anyway

Somehow an old, old SIM got included in the mix. Talkmobile went bust no wonder that one wasn't working!!

Jeez, just realised where I've been going wrong!

I'm an absolute fool!

Micro, but already got an adaptor.

Thanks for trying to help.

Looks like my missus is getting the new phone and I'm having her old one!!

Bought as a cheap music player and GPS while running as my nexus 6 is just too big to carry. Was initially very impressed with the performance for 15 quid but have just stuck a wired headset in and the sound quality is not good. Charging my bluetooth headset to see if that works any better. Shame.

I would recommend this unlock code seller charging 99p on eBay. I bought it around 8pm and he emailed the code within a couple of minutes!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221386794738?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Active SIM been using it today

Just googled Talkmobile and it says it's works on the Vodafone network, yet I was on EE, Arh!!!

Was it an active sim rather than an old, deactivated account?

Okay, so the missus, Orange SIM popped up with the unlocking code but my talkmobile one never, put my talkmobile SIM in and it still shows as no service!!

Confused and frustrated!!

Different network, trying a different sim now

Are you trying it with a Vodafone simcard or a different network sim card ?

My phone isn't asking for a code though, just says no service, thought it would be simple and should be surely

Ah ok good, cheers. :smiley:

What is the procedure to unlock it? Have I got to register it with Vodaphone first and possibly open an account with vodaphone. ie PAYG?

Not exactly rushing with a reply is he? I looked it up and it seemed loads of people who have lollipop want to go back to kitkat.

I enter my old SIM in and it just says no service, nowhere to input my unlocking code??

I bought this yesterday, arrived today, with one intention, to stream Showbox to my TV. Ok, it's cheap however it feels it. It's slow to react to screen presses, typing is a nightmare as it isn't accurately picking up the right key presses and its slowwwwwwwwwwww. Might be cheap but it's on it's way back.

99p Unlock on ebay well worth it . Quite literally 2 minutes after purchase NCK code sent

Seems quite slow , will look into different roms

Would someone kindly help me with a few questions?

1. Can this be used in the USA?
2. Will FaceBook run ok with this?

I plan buying one for my fiancée's mum over the atlantic

Thanks

just picked mine up its ok I paid £11.50...it will be fine as back up phone in the car :smirk:

Wanted three but Tesco online would only let me order 2 so ordered another both orders Free Click and Collect

Mine arrived this morning, and it's a brilliant little phone for £15! (typing this with it now).

I have a Galaxy Note 4 on contract, but got this as an emergency backup/GPS for the car. I expected it to be really laggy, but after unlocking the sim (via eBay) and removing all Vodafone apps it's remarkably responsive. I haven't added any extra apps but £15 for a mobile that easily lets you check Facebook, browse the web, watch YouTube, etc.. with no noticeable slowdown is awesome value.

Camera is horrible though! But let's face it, nobody is buying this for the camera.

WhatApp works with ALL modern Android OS versions, it's a highly dense question.

Thanks to the OP and all the other contributors for some good advice and, as usual a lot of laughs.
Just bought one for 13.50 ( 1.50 voucher ) assuming that it's suitable for grandads as well as grans.

Managed to get the white one, thank you guys.

I got the same message from them.

---

...back up to £25 for the white version on Amazon.

Perfect burner phone!

Just got it for £12.77 with Flubit :smiley:

How would this compare to a 2012 nexus 4? Upgrade or downgrade?

Have you read anything on this thread? or are you new to the internet?

Seriously? This phone isn't good even for granny. Piece of junk.

That's what I did with a cheap £34 phablet off of eBay, I don't use the phone just the Here with the built in GPS, good cheap constantly upgraded satnav on a 7 inch screen.

Who manufacturers this phone for vodafone ?

You could always buy 2 for £20 when you sign up to Prime Now trial and use the £10 off £30 first order code that can be found on here. I ordered it for £15 with with ice cream :smiley: haha.

Can you link a 'how to' please mate

There was a link on an Amazon review to an unlock code on Ebay for 99p http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Unlock-Vodafone-Smart-first-6-V695-Unlocking-Code-Sim-me-Pin-Fast-/161212094229?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2588fd5715

You can unlock it for £2 on eBay remember.

just bought a white one £6.5 clubcard vouchers etc ..

PS
selling to cex once it comes for free screws
CEX WeSell for £38.00
WeBuy for cash £17.00
WeBuy for voucher £25.00

just bought one for my wife, we are impressed for the price, does what it needs to very well

I have pixi 3-4 and it's a terrible mobile phone, it does not even play music properly "THE ONLY REASON I BOUGHT A CHEAP ANDROID PHONE"
Otherwise I was happy with my iPhone.

Not sure it's VFM, got a doogee x5 pro dual sim for £39 from gear best

I have both and find Here to be best. I have also used other free satnavs and none compare.

Can anyone who has purchased an unlock code off eBay specifically for this handset and can confirm it worked, please post a link or item number?

Thanks.

Just ordered one from flubit.com for £13.50

Perfect for my family! thank you for sharing!

Ordered 2 on flutbit for total of £25.84

Yes correct, i got refund for the orders which was placed 6 days ago.but anything after 7 days won't cover.

Anyone smart enough to find a loaded sim card for this online for a cheaper price than going to the Vodafone shop ?

Thanks.

i bought this 10 days ago for 19 quid and went to amazon today for price difference , they say they can only refund the 4 quid within 7 days of delivery ? is that right , thought it was 30 days ?

edit - spoke to soon as a 1 time exception they will refund me the difference :smiley:

Oh sorry, I did not realise that it has not yet started. Though I bought mine from amazon (great customer service and had a promotional balance of 10 pounds) making it 5 pounds cost to me in the end. with free delivery as well

Best is to buy from Tesco with double up their clubcard which will come 5 gbp coupon and 5 gbp cash. free delivery also

Same here. I'm sure there was something else I was supposed to be doing......?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221385877476

I used this guy for 99p

anyone know the situation for root and custom roms on this :P

where is the ebay code link?

Sorry guys, thought it strange? posted in August 15 yet all the comments were made around 16 hours ago

No need for the douchy response. Every app has a minimum requirement so give the guy a break. You took the time to write a snarky reply instead of just helping.

>>>>>
I can think of a few actually..

>>>>>
Did you get any French Fries with that? :wink:

Sooner Jungle .com pulls its finger out and gets Prime Now and Amazon Pantry
to the rest of the UK.. the better!

Just because it's an Android App doesn't mean it would work, as some apps need a minimun requirement, so a perfectly reasonable question, unlike your obnoxious reply.

Amazon have price matched this too, so no point in buying from Tesco to sell on Amazon. Not that I would do that, obviously..

This is also on offer on Amazon Prime Now if you have a prime account - Also £15.00 and with free same day delivery if you are in a Prime Now area. I got mine in an hour for £15.00 all in.

Just ordered at desk. Should be a good mifi I hope.

What 11 year old isn't savvy with tech?

​sorry but that is a bonkers of an advice!!.

It is ideal for a normal average consumer age 11

thanks.

is it good enough for a 11 years old ?

Can you get whatsapp on this?

I need a cheap throwaway phone for festivals.

Thank you OP, I've ordered one from Amazon.

When is the double up promo on?

£18 on Amazon Prime with £1 no rush credit making it £17

Do NOT use that, there are over 124 "sites" like that for a "custom rom" they are all bullcr4p

Well, Brits don't like hassle like 5 mins to make a sandwich, 5 mins to make a cup of coffee , 2 mins to slice cheese and and who rely on £6.70 an hour or less immigrant worker and then moan about these immigrants using up NHS, long bus queues, less council houses..etc. Put it these way, if Brits cannot be arsed about doing these following chores themselves, you gotta employ immigrant workers to make coffee (Starbucks), serve hamburgers (McDonald), cut up meat (for supermakets), wash and cut vegetables (for supermarkets)... and these workers need benefits to subsidise their low wages, housing and NHS and you pay more tax for things you cannot be arsed about or too much hassle.

never rooted a phone before, but for the price , I am happy to try ...if anyone could post some step to step guide . thanks

Good point on phones yes, but smartphones on the other hand are created for so much more.

Just seen this...it's a steal at this price chichi :laughing:

Anyone recommend a case for this they use?
Cheers.

Quick start guide

Why buy this when you can get an i-phone for just a couple of hundred pounds more.

How secure are these older versions of android? I am considering getting one of these phones for my mother. Is there any advice on security?

Just got my £3 back, so the phone only cost £2 as I had vouchers I forgot about, COOL!!!!

I think it's got to be: "equipped with a 4-inch WQHD capacitive touchscreen for rich visuals and detailed graphics"

They clearly have no idea what resolution WQHD actually is... This is WVGA (800 * 480), so not even close...

Cheers OP great for spare/back up phone £15 no delivery charge on C & C for me + on Vodafone so hopefully no unlocking problems :smile:

Hey Chanchi - another cracking deal from you :smiley: This was featured in the HUKD daily newsletter as the hottest deal of the day.

If any members aren't signed up to our newsletter you can do so here - http://www.hotukdeals.com/newsletter

Is it available to buy in store??

cant argue for 15 quid be a good nana phone

could this be used as a permanent/decent in car satnav if tethered to other phone for data? if not any recommendations?

Oh gosh! Pretty soon we'll have phones taped to magazines! :confused:

​it takes a mini sim, a full size sim is credit card sized

Looking to get one for my daughter but can it run WhatsApp?

Also, does it have much Vodafone bloatware and can it be removed?

Got one delivered yesterday from Amazon for my son and had an unlock code from eBay within about an hour, just waiting for my BT SIM only deal to arrive today and it's a cheap, no frills handset for a 9 year old - it's unsurprisingly not as fast as my s6

hot!

Just smashed my sony xperia up, so this might do me for 6 months until i'm due a new one

Thanks - ordered & heated :smiley:

Ordered for me dear ol ma, cheers op - heat

My kids have these and they run every app or game they've tried. They seem really happy with them. Not a dream device but good enough for 90% of users

Will it be a good mifi device?

Will showbox work?

Will uber app work on this?

What's this like to use as a second phone for business calls?

Just bought it yesterday from amazon for 18 :disappointed:

Great price for a burner when you need to disappear fast

Great price but i know i will end up frustrated and throwing it in the bin...

If all you're doing is texting and ringing then why not buy an old Nokia style phone that lasts over a week on one charge. That is if all your doing is actually just texting and calling. Cough incognito Mode Cough pornhub.com Cough :smiley:

According to CeX website - they will buy it for £17 (locked, Grade A), or £22 for unlocked (unlock codes for £1 on ebay) :smile:

Haters gona hate eh. Geez, some people.

made me laugh too.
Get in your car, drive to Tesco, park, Que up, wait for details to be taken, wait for them to go get it, sign for it, leave to the car, drive home, 5 minutes!
Might start trying to do my full week food shop in 10 mins from house to back home. Seems pretty feasible based on his ludicrous figures.

wow this is good

Yep agree totally bonkers. OK I suppose if you're unemployed and have absolutely nothing better to do, but otherwise seems like a lot of effort for £6!

Thats nonsense. Deal with tesco queue and staff incompetence. ive bought unlock codes and sometimes they dont work so not so easy. Cex normally have slow queues, Chances are they will drop price before you receive it. cex online is a nightmare. Cex take half hour to test each phone and look for slightest inperfections to try not to give you stated price

Click on TCB / Quidco, Click to Tesco, Buy it. 2 minutes?
Collect it, 5 minutes?
Code off ebay 1 minute, unlock it 2 minutes?
Cex it 5 minutes?
So £6 in 15 minutes = £24 per hour

Don't know about you, but I'd say that's a reasonable return on the time?
And don't forgot your 15 CC points and few pence on cashback - every little helps!

Yes 20 for hukd

2009 called, they want their phone back, this is cheap but you sure as hell won't be cheerful if you expect to be able to use this...

Does this have wifi?
Looking for something I can use as a remote to control my chromecast.

nice little phone plays spotify just fine and Miui Launcher works faster then the stock one!

hot for me!!
1.5% quidco
1.57% topcashback

If you have Tesco's free delivery grocery deal, then this is free home delivery. (Spend over £10).

Also check out Navmii which I have installed on both my Android fone and Win10 tablet, best offline GPS navigation app I could find

Cheers.

It says in specs it's standard sim but further on it says delivered with a nano sim. Are they both the same?

Nothing comes for free mate..

Seems like a lot of hassle for £6 profit? :stuck_out_tongue:

Here maps works fine on this, good FM radio too.

Standard SIM and 99p to unlock.

As they say in America, it's a burner!

Or Here Maps which is free.

Does this have gps?

Yes for satnav apps like tomtom where you can save maps for offline use.

Unlock it, throw a FreedomPop SIM in it and install the app of your choice for a SatNav for about £20.

amazon is not price matching with this deal

Ordered 4 thanks op

Looks a bargain

However as a little media streaming receiver it's on the money so I'm in - heat added OP

Good price, heat added :smile:

I don't know which statement I disagree most with:

- equipped with a 4-inch WQHD capacitive touchscreen for rich visuals and detailed graphics
or
- capture high quality photos and videos with sound with the Smart first 6’s built-in 2-megapixel camera
or
- runs on the powerful Dual-core processor that provides speedy web browsing with seamless multitasking

but I think it has to be:

- Vodafone apps allow you to connect and share with confidence

heat!!!! was waiting for this to drop again,tight ass :smile: had one for 2 years and cost me £30 then,its on its last legs now what with droppin it a few times,so £15 is top bargain,sod spendin over 200 on phones when i all i want is to text and ring on it like a phone is ment to be for :laughing:

This would be an amazing cheap phone once the developers start providing non Vodafone roms...

Can't imagine it will be long before they do :smiley:

thanks. just ordered op

u must have lots of tesco accounts then

Thanks

Does this need to be unlocked?

No Chanchi you cant eat a phone! :wink:

Great find chanchi, heat added :smiley:

Ordered right away.



Ta OP

Fair enough. I just clicked on the deal and it scrolled across the top of the page "free c&c on orders over £30" so I thought I'd let you know.

Good price. No free click and collect on this as it is under £30. There will be a £2 charge.

this item is on a promo though with free click and collect



ta

It's no longer free c&c.
