I've updated after few hours of using it on lolipop, can't see any issues at all. Battery lasts long, doze mode works fine. Better looking notification area. You can always come back to old firmware.

No it's not...

Just go onto online chat & tell the chat support person you want to pay off the device plan in full (if applicable) & cancel airtime. Get a written reply from them that it is cancelled & you do not owe them any more money. Keep/save a record of the chat transcript (in case of future disputes).

If you don't cancel airtime, they will think you still want to continue with them & will charge you every month as normal.

Not sure why you were offered a replacement PAYG sim if you bought this on contract. Have you posted in the correct thread? There are so many O2 phone/tablet HUKD deals on at the moment, that it's quite easily done!

These are the terms, which I copied and pasted as I placed order in the order process, 14 days cooling off:-

Your Pay Monthly Mobile Agreement

If you change your mind about the Equipment (usually a Mobile Phone) you've bought from us, you can return items once and exchange them for another within the 14 day Change-Your-Mind Period (details will be in your welcome pack). You'll only be able to do this if the Equipment is undamaged, unlocked (i.e. free of security or software locks), in its original packaging and you bring in your proof of purchase with it. If you'd rather, you can return your Equipment and cancel your Pay Monthly Mobile Agreement during the Change-Your-Mind Period. You'll be charged for Non-Returns. If you've taken Equipment from us under a separate Device Plan and you are withdrawing from that Device Plan after the Change-Your-Mind Period, you will have to pay in full for your Equipment. If you've just taken Services from us then you can also cancel within the 14 day Change-Your-Mind Period. You agree that Services will begin immediately if you already have a SIM Card or when you receive that SIM Card. You'll have to pay for any calls, texts, data and other charges you've incurred, including during the Change-Your-Mind Period. For full details, ask in store or see below for our policy on repairs and returns. Details are in paragraphs 10, 12 and 13 of the Agreement and on our Website.

There is 14 days cooling off period, cancel without obligation, it is written in their terms and in law.

No. My sim was cut off the next day. Sounds like you got someone that didn't know what they were doing

Will use it out and about with Three Data Reward free 200MB per month, then tether if run out.

You did remember to unlock?

I sent a friend to collect mine. He took my drivers license along with the collection email and collected fine.

​did you request it via the online form?

Yeah my code came several hours after I called to pay off the device part and cancel the airtime and the sim got disconnected sometime this morning.

Been using some multi port adaptors to charge mine, Ampere tells me it's not drawing the full amperage it could do but it is always well over 1A. Was that charge time while you were actively using it or while it was resting as mine seems nearer 3 hours I'll need to run it down a bit to test.

£6 on ebay if no luck with o2.

Yeah they don't come in boxes

How slowly? What charger? Reviews say about four hours. Mine seems touch faster than that

It will obviously what amp the wall charger you use with it, 1amp or under will take probably double the time, a normal 2 amp charger will i guess take 3-4 hours, so a 1 amp charger will take 6-8 hours.
Just get a faster wall charger, and that should speed it up.

Have you got it rooted by any chance too? Im downloading mm at home now, will put it on when back from work.

I just tried this and it keeps failing, can I just check what the filename of the one you used was?

No. But if you want to do it fairly quick just order a free sim from one of the networks online, pop it in, use the unlock and take it out and throw it away,

Use MSE's Resolver tool. Makes complaints a lot easier and successful too.

I had the same, with the O2 SIM inserted, try making a call to 202, it won't work, but you'll get some texts from o2 to update you tablet settings, so do this.
Then after a few mins, it should appear in your devices with the option to request an unlock code for it.
That worked for me.

​Surely a complaint should be submitted that they're carrying out credit checks for something they don't have?

Well the S3 won't be anywhere near this price

How did you do this via ota? Does it still have phone feature ?

Many comments on the net warn against updating to Marshmallow! say it reduces battery life and performance. HAve you got those issues?

Yeah that's all I've got so far

It'll still be a bargain.

It wouldn't let me do that

I was looking at this, but decided against it because of the little triangle when propped up, could mean very easy to tip over when tapping on the screen.

Spoke with live chat and got the same run around. Why accept orders saying in stock and provide delivery details if you don't actually have stock. Fail O2.

If your order went through don't forget O2 also did a credit check on you and left two marks on your credit record (one for the tablet purchase & one for the airtime sim) I would not be too pleased if I were you.

They told me it could take 7 days!

Can't go wrong with the genuine case

I can't find my order within my account at all. Any pointers?

same as me buddy, rung o2 yesterday and said order was going through then got that text in the evening so god knows where im at......just have to wait and see

It's only £125 , very good price for S2 even without BOX . it is in very good condition like new .

I can sort of fault the delivery of mine as it came before it was supposed to.

Yeah the packaging is pretty shoddy for such a device. Do you mean charger cable or did you actually get a charger? Yeah still got the plastic thing on back here to, sadly not on front. Camera one looks awkward to pull.

I've not put the sim in yet but it says I've a mobile signal, so that's confused me. On that point a sim tray release pin would've been handy.

It's failed once on the fingerprint so far.

​Mine came packaged like yours however did not have any charging lead.Didn't have any protective film or similar to the rear however considering the overall cost and condtion of the tablet I am more than happy at the moment.

Someone got one of those yesterday, then one saying it was being sent.

Sooner that than overlapping I guess

​both needed a firm push for me

Official Samsung cases are at Amazon at varying prices I went for £13+ for white and £17+ for red (looks more like burgundy or similar). Black and others more expensive. I'm a bit disappointed that I couldn't find a really rugged case that protects the screen with a flip-style arrangement.

I'm also getting a couple of "Coolreall" tempered glass screen protectors delivered from Amazon (£5.89) and will post my impressions on it later today

Bought one of this for £3.50 temporarily until something better comes along , the white genuine Samsung case at £13.90 looked attractive but I'll wait for a coloured one later ; so made do with this for now £3.50 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01D7IRV5S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You can't make calls on the sim that came with it I don't think. So yeah another phone needed. But I was just told that the relevant department is closed and opens 8am-8pm. Sigh.

Yeah we'll possibly get charged for a day I would think. Just hope it's back tomorrow

Quoting, from their terms: "You’ve the right to cancel within 14 days from when you sign up or when you get your sim / and or device (whichever one’s later)."

​Hy.. Did you get yours?.. Iv ordered yesterday around 19:00..and there its exactly like yours (email with all documentation but haven't recived yet..

Their systems are back on? Or you did it earlier?

When did u order because it says out of stock..

Erm that says £144 doesn't mention £240

You picked the wrong tariff bud, £144 is for 10GB Tariff with no upfront cost which is £6*24 = £144, and the one that was advertised originally is 10GB tariff with 29.99 upfront and £4*24 which works out at £125.99. As for the £270 it is the price you would pay if you would like to buy a device only.

nope, everyone will only get the tablet and a usb cable in a plain brown box.
I have one from another phone, suggest using a paperclip or a pin or needle, all should work.

Most people say 2 hours, however on my case it was always 24h for both devices that I've got in the past.

Often just a couple of hours in many cases.

2015 one.

Yes, I was told the machines are not working today and that I should call back tomorrow, the very lovely lady said she will leave a note on my account so it will be a one minute job tomorrow for whoever answers.

Strange, try making a call to 202, it won't let you, but it might help. Also try installing MMS and Mobile Internet settings that o2 sends to you.

Just discovered that 9.7 version has an official keyboard cover which connects to the two magnets at the back and it also has a touchpad, this would of been really handy, but 9.7 was £70 more..

I know other places like india have the marshmallow update I don't know what version they are using but the 4g tablets over there have it now

Isn't this one the t715? If so ours is region BTU for some reason.

Hmm ignore that. Links seem iffy.

any reason why they placed deposit on your account? have they put it on the account where DD goes out from or on card you paid for tablet?

You have to put in the same card that you have received with your tablet in, use it for 15-30 minutes and your IMEI number along with the mobile number will appear there and you will be able to request an unlock.
For the ones that are interested, this is the T715 model with Exynos 5433 cpu and Mali-T760 MP6 gpu compared to T719N model which has Qualcomm MSM8976 Snapdragon 652 cpu and Adreno 510 gpu and runs Marhsmallow straight out of the box. Which is a bit of a shame really, because in my personal experience qualcomm processors run faster than exynos.

1.Insert O2 sim.
2.Login to tablet with your gmail account.
3. go to in your O2 website login to your account and enter your o2 mobile number. you will receive some text to active 4G and install settings.
4. open My O2 App , it will ask you to update app. do it.
5. go to menu and choose unlock device .
6.done.

same for me

same here. not impressed

Weird, they've not text me either of those. Good when a company knows what it is doing.

No.

​Hei.. Do you know the procedure how to cancel and pay in fell the device?.. Regards

​I thought it was 197?

Glad it has been of use. Many thanks to iEimis for the many posts and assistance to everyone, to kraize2004 for finding the cheaper option! and everyone else who has helped with questions. Not often I find a deal that has not been posted so glad I can return the favour for a change :smiley:

Yup, literally got an email 2 minutes ago saying that my order is on its way.

Ordered mine at 9:33am, not had this email yet :disappointed:

see post #68

​according to the reviews it's marginally better.

very

link for that please?

Yeah that's an amazing price, but I can't find anything similar to this price when I am looking, mind of providing a link? I dropped my iPhone into the water so this might a cheap replacement.
The only iPhone 6s I can see for £303 is 16gb version.

Good question, looks like it does imho
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=7439&idPhone2=7832

16 gb

​this is a tablet.

Yes lad

Yeah that's the same what I got. I think it pretty much means that your order is being prepared and you will receive it tomorrow 8am-10pm.

Yes I have got the confirmation one, I order mine around 8.15 when I posted this deal :smiley:

You'll be pleased to know that your order is on its way.

Your delivery details are:
Option: Next day
Cost: £0.00
Expected date of delivery: 03/08/16

Not feeling this way of doing things?

They have never sold anything on payg at the same price as they did on refresh deals, it's just not worth it for the company as with these contracts some people might want to stay considering you can pay off the device plan and cancel airtime at any time with 30 day's notice when you are out of 14 day cooling off period. They did sell new iPhone 5s on pay n' go. But I think that was still £30-£40 more than buying it on refresh.
Going back onto the main idea I think it is still worth the faff for what you get.

Always dearer on that anyway. e.g. The P9 was £192 on refresh or £212 on pay&go

The tariff is still there, if you can't see it, just press + Show More.

It's still there when i look

sorry, I see it now.

I got mine by email.

The unlock code just comes through the email that you provided when you applied for a contract. They do send it because in my understanding, if you request the unlock before you cancel it, there's no way they can say no you are not getting your unlock code, because it is absolutely a different department that is dealing with your unlock request. I have done it twice and unlock code had always came through.

No, you don't have to be.

I would also like to know this, also has anyone ever had an issue cancelling?

Let me explain this for once again.

1) Follow the get deal button, purchase the £29.99 + £4*24 tariff.
2) Receive your tablet, inspect it if it's in a good (A grade) condition.
3) Put a sim card into your tablet and go online, request the unlock code.
4) Call 202 from the same sim card as it will make things much easier, go straight to the I want to leave o2 department or something like that (I think it's thinking of leaving us? Press something) as that will connect you with the right people much quicker.
5) Tell the person you want to pay your device in full and cancel the airtime. They will ask you why, tell them you don't think the airtime is a good value for money, but you want to keep the tablet because you think it's an outstanding value for money. They will ask you for card details, you tell those details and that's it, they cancel it for you in about an hour.
6) You own the tablet from that point, assumed that you have done this straightaway, there won't be any charges, otherwise you will have to pay as much airtime as you have used.
7) Unlock code will come through in about 2 to 48 hours.
:sunglasses: In first month they might take the airtime from your bank account through direct debit because they generate the bill the next day you apply for a contract, don't be scared as this will be refunded the next month, if not, call them again.

And that's how you get a bargain for your money.

Thanks, so the £17.50 is not a 24 month contract as such. Thanks

See post #35

Not a misprice, they have £120 flash sale on device plan for certain tablets, this a grade tablet is included as well.

Doubtless it's me being thick but I can't see this deal - 10GB is £29.99 + £21.50/month. Can you put me right, please?

They are just customer returns in my experience, A grade is pretty much new just without box, who needs the box anyway?

I would say it's exynos because in the spec it says android 5.0.2, otherwise it would be marshmallow.

Does yours make voice calls and receive SMS ?

​you did well getting it for £200. This is a bargain for the 4g version.

:wink: Done !

Yeah, that's the one. If you select it, it will give you a breakdown of the device plan and the airtime plan.

Thats the cost if you keep the o2 airtime contract. The device payment on that tariff is £4 per month. Click more details to see that. You need to cancel the airtime contract and pay off device to get that cost.

Got to the tariffs, and click "more" it is on the second row.

Thanks, didnt look at the others, so good spot :o)

​very good deal Just remember to cancel in right order-pay off device, and cancel airtime next day to avoid any o2 mistakes.

The cheapest option is £11 per month. £6 for device and £5 for airtime. You can buy, pay off device and cancel airtime.
