Nokia 1800 for 1p + £10 Airtime Top-Up at OneStopPhoneShop

afm_2

Hello! Is anyone else having problem with ordering this? I get to the form where you put the card details and then, when click "Place order" it seems that it is trying to place the order but then the same page appears and there's nothing written in the confirmation part... Any ideas of what's happening?

Thank you!

Have you tried contacting them? They might be able to iron out the problem if there's something wrong with their website.

I received my phone today, arrived at 3pm this afternoon. The phone appears to be unlocked, I also notice OneStopPhoneShop is a trading division of Carphone Warehouse.

Anyway, I dialled *#1345# to see what the balance is and #0.00 came up. I thought £10 would already be on the SIM card but doesn't appear to be. I guess you have to call 2345 and set up a DD before using this(can I also phone their landline to set this up?). Once I set the DD can this be a one off payment or will they take payments every month as I don't want to keep using the Vodafone SIM as I'd like to go back to the Tesco SIM I've been using? I guess I could cancel the DD after I set it up and they've taken the payment of £10?? I'm not familiar with Vodafone to be honest.

Also, how do you turn off the voice mail?

from their order confirmation email -

so that might explain delay in credit being added ?

Does anyone know how long this £10 worth of credit will last if you don't use it? I only need another phone for emergencies.

Thank you for this! I have been playing around with the phone for the past 20 mins as keeps saying insert sim when I have! Hope this is all it is as they charge 10p/min to call customer service!

Thanks OP got the phone, the SIM is working and can receive calls, but the £10 credit is not on it yet. Will give it 48 hours and then see what's happening.

Strange thing is I've been charged £10.02...... are carphone warehouse making an extra 1p from us all?

Make sure you insert the sim properly twinklyeys as I didn't quite get at first how to insert it. It didn't take me long to realise that you have to slip it in slightly when inserting, it's a lttle bit tricky getting it out too but you'll soon get the hang of it.

incidentally, the alternative to the 0870 number mentioned in the booklet that came with the phone can be found on SayNoTo0870.com.

I notice that e2save also have this offer as well, same price too.

Ends 15/03/2011 apparently so if OneStopPhoneShop sells out you could try this one.

Quidco are offering the same amount of cashback of £7.50 too, I believe Topcashback are doing similar as well.

e2save is also a trading division of Carphone Warehouse so the phone should be unlocked.
