it's still 199 on the website, how do I get the 99 pound price?

I just called john lewis and they said they don't price match with an online shops though. I then showed this page and they said this could be a false statement :disappointed:

I tried JL Price match with Sainburys phone last week. They refused with the below statement;

"Software has been installed onto the device at Sainsbury's that will lock the phone to the network of the first SIM used. This means that if a customer were to purchase the phone and, for example, first use a Vodafone SIM and then change to an o2 SIM, this second SIM would not work. SIM Free phones sold by John Lewis, do not have this software installed and as such remain unlocked forever.
Therefore, on this occasion I am sorry I cannot match the price offered by Sainsbury's. "

Exactly the same happened to me. Wonder how come Mods allowed this post.

I filled in their price match form. I put The Sainsbury's phone shop as the cheaper seller.
This is the rest of the email:

So I have to pay their price at first (199.95), but they refund the difference later. Final price will be £99. Try to fill in the form first rather than calling them , I got my reply pretty quickly.

why is my deal cancelled?

this is odd as its under sim free section from phoneshop not under PAYG which are locked to a specific network? i have sent a price match and written that under the information section see what they say.

I got the price match authorised no problem.
