    Just the usual reminder that something that was £10 in Boots would cost you £6.67 if bought in 3 for 2 pre-Christmas. With "70%" off tomorrow same item would cost you £3. Instead of paying £6.67 you will be paying £3 so the real discount is only 55%, not 70%. No thanks.:money:

    Thanks emerald,

    I'll try it but pretty sure it won't work. This is first generation which was discontinued in 2012 so if yours is a couple of years old it must be 2nd generation. They have a tiny hole in the side near the bottom I think. If you put a little pin in there it should pop out so you can insert a sim. The technology in them is slightly different I think.

    Oh well, I'll have to put it on eBay.

    For anyone wanting an NFC phone on the cheaper side I’ve just seen this one at Argos. £55 (no top up through fast track).

    http://www.argos.co.uk/product/7406494

    Says ‘Contactless payment’ in the description so must be NFC (need to double check though as this is Argos).

    Unfortunately no i don’t think it has NFC - mixed information online but no mention of nfc in the manual https://www.vodafone.com/content/dam/group/devices/downloads/smarte8/VFD_510_English_User_Manual.pdf

    It’s a minefield! And the Voda website is useless with no information at all.

  • hi all very belated happy new year. I've not been on for ages but thought id help with AP advice. the vodafone smart prime 7 is a NFC phone ... i bought 3 ;).sold on amazon in white for £54.43. if you have an amex reward you could combine the £15.00 off with reward point offer. Also if you look after it and don't want it after you'll get a good price on CEX.
