I think skik08 was pointing out that it should have been 512MB and not GB :-)

Bought one to use as a sat nav

''Storage:
Internal memory: 512GB.''

:confused:

Same here about reserving in-store. If I order in-store can I still bypass the £10 top up, that I would have done through fast track?

Only available in store for me too, checked using PC, phone browser and Argos iOS app.

Where isit? Says only available in store and no reserve never seen this on argos before someone please help

I bought the phone. the GPS can be slow using Google Maps and sometimes inaccurate on dual carriageways - it thinks you are on the other side! On the good side it has a feature to change app permissions so you can turn off location access for your photo apps for example. Good little workhorse for 15 pounds

If you are unsure about rooting don't do it. IT'S not guaranteed and if you brick your phone argos will not accept it back and for 99p guaranteed from eBay it's a no brainer.

I'd like to order 10 but it's limited to one per customer. Bummer.

just bought one as eBay codes cost 99p

Have to buy £10 credit also though, so actually £24.99??

Is this unlocked?

HUH?, hahahahahaha. :-)

This or iphone 7 hmmm can't decide

The phone is fine for basic apps and utilities and based on that, I've nothing against. It's pretty good for what it is.

I'd post the two apps that I'm using it for (gain free Amazon/Paypal credit just by leaving it running) but chances are it'd get frozen cold for whatever reason and so, I'll just leave it off HUKD. I could PM you the names of the two apps if you're interested.

:stuck_out_tongue: Seems ok as a spare needed one quickly as my other one broke and is away for repair. Granted not the fastest or the best screen but what do you expect for £15. The SIM is inside the box and you can choose to activate and pay for it if you want to. Of course you can use it on other vodaphone virtual systems like Talk talk, Age UK, bemillo, 360Coms Telecom, Lebara Mobile etc without needing to unlock and its only 99p to unlock on ebay

Yeah exactly - it struggles with Whatsapp, let alone Google Maps, it'll work but it's sloooooow! Just trying to adjust people's expectations :smiley:

I've got one as an emergency phone - It's really cheap but it's slow as hell and struggles with opening web pages let alone anything else.

It can't multi-task, if you open another app, the one you were using will close due to lack of memory.

I've tried using it as a sat nav and it's honestly so slow that you're three streets past your turning before it tells you.

If you just want a cheap phone that can do whatsapp then great.

If you're not sure, try one out at a Vodafone before hand.

Well, people on this website misuse "brought" so much that even the joke itself is lost.

It was a brought/bought joke.

Duh!

Can the phone be rooted and a custom firmware installed such as 6.01.

I presume the phone is a rebrand, if so, does anyone know what the phone is called?

Will the dreaded Pokemon go work on this??
Boys have windows phone which it does t work on

He bought it from Carphone Warehouse: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/vodafone-smart-first-7-mobile-phone-black-white-argos-14-99-free-c-c-2527315?p=28955137

i brought smart 6 a few months ago instead of this one as it has a bigger screen, it was £10 and a pretty decent phone, does everything you need, music etc, its sometimes takes a little longer to load some things but i think if you are spoilt by what the iPhone can do i think everything will seem slow. so i imagine this one would be much more improved anyway even if it has a smaller screen.

Well seeing as that was the very last word in his comment, it's really of no relevance that he "lost you" at that point, is it? :smirk:

Probably good enough for someone wanting to play retro games such as NES, SNES, Mega Drive, Game Gear, etc. ROMs can be stored on memory card. Emulators won't take up much room at all. Screen is small but it just makes it so much cuter

Decent spare phone for the price. Even comes with those handy £1 USB travel plug that usually abounds these pages.

CEX website showing they currently buy for £16 cash or £23 credit

Thanks. Just paid and will pick it up tomorrow.

Rooted makes it even better! I assume it's rootable.

I was checking Argos to see if they had any Android phones for £10 but no, this seems to be the cheapest. OP, you sure if I pay via Fast Track I won't need to top it up?

I wanted to change my number a couple months ago so instead of just buying credit i found that i could get an alcatel phone free if i payed for £10 top up which i used for my current phone, I just thought why not and it turns out its a pretty decent torch that will last for hours without problem and is as small as two fingers together... it also makes calls if you need.

same price on amazon

nice find

Is it easy to unlock?

I bought one as a little app/games player for my daughter - she loves it. There are many uses that represent great value for this @£15

Cheap car tracker!

If you can find a Vodafone Smart First 6 it's better than the 7 for most specs. Same for the Smart Ultra 6 vs 7. Vodafone seem to be going backwards.

How does this compare to the Kazam Trooper 540 ?
Are they nearly the same ?

As a spare it seems like a good option. Amazon reviewers criticised it for its awful battery, not sure if they're totally true or not. I definitely don't trust the Vine reviews.

Yes that's why which magazine says Don't buy !

caraphone but the deal is gone now https://www.carphonewarehouse.com/vodafone/smart-first-6.html#!colour=black&dealType=pg

Only £14.99 and with Android 5xx. This'll pay for itself.

Thanks for the heads up, Mii.
