wonder if anybody could help me out here, i too would like the note, but ive just qualified for an early upgrade with VF (6months early). Since im with Vodafone, do any of the 3rd party stores accept that, eg Carphonewarehouse or Phones4u? i mean, do they accept the 6months early upgrade too? if somebody could get back to me asap that would be great,

@ marc1903, I am in exactly the same position as you. Still have 6 months left in my contract but am really desperate to get the galaxy Note!!! Cant afford to take up a new line (Im a student) :-(

Right the Note was launched  on the 3rd Carphone warehouse have now a pre register page

Now they will upgrade you as well now normally when this goes up it take till about then endof the Mounth

I can not see any reason why Vodafone will not do this but they tend to be behind a bit manly waiting to see whats happening and when they will get stock

Good Morning Marc1903, 

I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to upgrade 6 months early with a third party company, we're the only ones who can arrange this. 

Although we have an extensive variety of handsets it's just not possible for us to stock every model of handset. I'm afraid it looks like the Samsung Note is one of those handsets we won't be stocking. 

If anyone would like to arrange an upgrade to any other handset, please let me know and I'll be in touch. 

Best Wishes, 

Kay

well thats a shocker that VF are not stocking the note,if I swtich to a 3rd party supplier, ie p4u on vodafone, do i still need the transfer code and then cancel my contract? whats the procedure here?

hmm strange, i spoke to an online advisor called "Deepak" who ensured me for definite, that it would be available. False hope again from VF customer service, atleast the E-Forum team are here to clear everything up.

Well thats convinced me definately going to three. The only provider that seem to realise that customers would like a decent amount of data but don't need thousands of minutes of phone calls.

Hi scottie2345

I do believe that you can upgrade your number in a P4U store, if not then you will need a PAC code to keep the number.

its just sad VF is not getting this phone

[HampshireHooker]

This is a well known problem if you want an early version of any phone other than an iPhone.

Vodafone is an excellent service provider, but a pretty poor retailer with a limited range of models and they seem very slow to get any new models in.

I would advise those you are looking for an upgrade to go to Carphone Warehouse and source the phone from them.

They have a much wider choice, including the Note available for delivery now and in store at the end of this week.

You can keep your Vodafone contract and number without a problem.

As an example HTC have been advertising the new Radar and Titan Windows phones for 4 weeks and they still aren't available from Vodafone Direct or stores. Pathetic really.

Hope this helps.

I have got my note, (on VF) from P4U, and i love it the screen is fantaaaastic, after using this I am not sure that i could use another phone again.

Q is my contract had finished, now P4U said that they would upgrade my contract with VF, so i would keep my number and everything would be hassle free etc, 

so far everthing has been, tucked the sim out of my galaxy S popped it in the note all is well :-)  can anyone at web services check that all has been carried out correctly, ie contract upgraded and i am not paying for 2 contracts!!!

and the galaxy appears to work ok with tesco PAYG sim is the galxy S unlocked?

I have mine as well, it is fantastic still learning all the tricks it can do, as also new to Android, but screen is brilliant and live streaming video wirelessly to my Samsung TV fantastic. At moment a very happy customer.

Hi scottie2345,

I'm pleased to hear that you're happy with your new phone . So that we can check that everything looks ok on your account, I'm about to send you an email. If you reply with all the details, then we'll be in touch as soon as we can.

Also, if a Tesco PAYG SIM works in your phone as well, then it's definitely unlocked.

Kind Regards,

George.

I want the G note upgrade via phones4u, will I lose stop the clock if I do that even though I'm happy to stick with the same contract

[nima24]

i believe stop the clock as ended now so u will lose it when u upgrade anyway

[milimani1994]

guess i'm stuck with Vodafone then, hope in future customers will be offered a wider selection in as far as handsets go - no G note, issues with G nexus - I need a new phone (latest in the market) I find it hard to compromise when the handset I want is supplied by others. Vodafone, make us happy.

[George]

Hi milimani1994,

I'm sure that we'll be able to find a phone that suits your needs. If you reply to the email I'm about to send you, then one of the team will be in touch to discuss your options.

Kind Regards,

George.

I just bought a note sim free from amazon.de, works out at £450 with current exchange rate and is still apparently delivered from the UK, this is a £120 saving on the UK amazon site and a £180 saving from carphone warehouse

so I am now looking at a no hansdet upgtrade, what will vodafone offer me considering that Three do 1GB + 300mins + unlimited texts for £10/month
