E: 17/11/04 - 12 Month Rent Free Vodafone Sim

Comments

  • HI,

    Hope this helps got 2 lots of cashback when this voda deal was £25-00 for each sim - DONT call them up on the 0870 number as you can wait 10 mins plus so my advice is e-mail them and you get an auto reponse to say they will contact you in 24hrs.

    Very good company to deal with ( and I dont work for them )

    ;)
    Tell it as it should be....

    regarding this rent free voda SIM offer, just to check I understand this correctly :

    **PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR PAC CODE AT POINT OF ORDER SHOULD YOU WISH TO TRANSFER A CURRENT NUMBER - EXCLUDES VODAFONE**



    I'm currently on Vodafone so therefore cannot transfer my number to the new SIM? darn :P

    Does anyone know how I can find out the PAC code for an o2 SIM card, please?

    Many thanks in advance.

    Phone 'em up and tell them you're going to another service and you want the PAC number and they'll give it ya
  • End your voda contract get a pac code. Wack it on a PAYG SIM for 7 days and then port it back to Vodafone..

    I'm not sure I get that, Reyes, what do you mean by per minute billing rather than the usual per second?

    I've ordered one of this now, they seemed to ask a lot of questions to process my order! Just checking, is this the address I forward my (original?/photocopied?)bill to, to claim the cashback :

    Forward Cellular Ltd
    Wyvern Business Centre
    Unit 12
    111 Ross Walk
    Leicester

    ?

    So I will be expecting a bill in the post soon and have to pay for the first month then?

    I assume it's Vodafone I have to call to downgrade after 7 months. Want to be careful here, so do I call at the start of the 6th/7th month or at the end? And pretty much just say, I wish to cancel the free weekend calls/to change the tariff I'm currently on?

    probably should have asked earlier but didn't remember:P and if I didn't order now, I'd probably forget about it again during the day and miss out!

    thanks in advance.
  • Hi Guys and Gals,

    newbie poster on here although been lurking for a few weeks. Ordered one of the above sims and was wondering how long people have waited to receive theirs. Had an order confirmation but do they also send out a despatch email?

    Thanks in advance

    Takes about 5 working days to get the sim.

    They send it special delivery, so someone will need to be at home to pick it up.

    Otherwise you will need to go to your post office to pick it up.

    I used to be a mobile phone dealer. So basically what happens is when you sell a contract you get commission. This commission is usually used to subsidise the cost of the handset.

    But in the case of the Vodafone sim only deal they will not supply a handset but instead provide you with some of the commission back.

    If you can't ring them .. (I rang them first thing in the morning and got through very quickly) I suggest you email them.
