I want to buy Galaxy S II from phones4u on the 27th of april. Is it possible to buy the phone unlocked? I dont want to tie myself down to a contract. Thanks.

Think its contract only. Want to get one on PAYG or SIM FREE on 27th but I doubt they'll have them unlocked. I'm going early in the morning on wednesday, so I'll update on here if its availible on PAYG or Sim Free
EDIT: Here suggests it'll be availible PAYG for £499 on Wednesday
I emailed them and got a reply back saying there fones aren't unlocked?...
I know CPW's handsets are unlocked... I work for O2 and have heard there coming soon, not sure of deals as I work in customer services lol.

I really hope they have some sim-free in store on 27th, hopefully CPW wont have took my money out of bank if i can grab 1 from there early.
I asked about this and my local CPW and P4U both said they were unlocked, but that means they can take any network's sim card. It doesn't mean they don't come on a contract - that's referring to as "sim-free" and even that's a bit of a misnomer as it could have a PAYG sim.
I don't know if I'm being helpful or pedantic here. I mean the former, honest!
handtec if im saying that right, has them on the 27th for sale, unlocked no contract, hit them up

Actually they are shipping out on 28th according to the website.
29th is holiday, 30th and 1st is weekend, 2nd is holiday. So in any case people wont get their phones before 3rd in UK

I have ordered from them, do you think they can ship the handset on 28th so i can get it on 4th, as it is a international order & also what is the probability that handtec is getting the stock on 27th, coz is heard some people saying that they delay the phones & also all are talking @ phones4u but no one seems interested @ haandtec, I dont know why

well you are correct but maybe they mean they get on 27th and the phones are shipped to your address on the 28th (next day), or ovsly they just dont ship till 28th in which we are doomed lol
Just rang me nearest store and they said they dont have it for sale till the 1st may!! lol very much an exclusive!!,
So, i rang the next nearest shop and they are having them deliverd tomorow for sale wed, so i asked about a sim free model and they said they should have some for sale but they are limited amount so looks like some of us might be lucky to get there hands on 1 on wed 27th,
They are ringing me tomorow to clarify the stock of sim free once they have had delivery.

I tried to buy a S2 on contract & after filling in all the personal & credit card details, when I click the final part i.e. the Confirm button, it just hangs. Tried 3 times already.

They made an announcement on their eForum yesterday:
Vodafone said:
There have been a number of unanticipated issues during the software approval for Galaxy S 2.
The next phase of testing is scheduled for Friday 13th. We'll provide an update on Monday 16th with the latest information on timings.
If the device passes testing with Google on Friday, we'll be able to confirm despatch dates for preorders in our Monday update. If not, we'll give as much information as we can.
Click to expand...

What the... Does this mean they're filling it with bloatware? I've heard from other sources that VF will be selling the GS2 unbranded, but then how could it have issues regarding software approval?
I've been due an upgrade for a month and have been holding off for this -- which is why I haven't bought the phone outright. I still haven't been able to confirm a deal for my new tariff because they can't confirm deals until the phone is showing 'in stock' for those in the call centre.
I heard the date of 16th being the release date for some time now, so hopefully on Monday I'll here "the phone is available!" and I get in before they're out of stock.
Anybody else in the same or a similar boat? Very, very frustrating!
Hey, I managed to pre-order the phone through an online early upgrade on the 4th May. When I ordered it said something along the lines of shipping "from the 16th May" so this could mean any time after that date really. I phoned the warehouse team on Tuesday (10th May) to try and get clarification if they still expected to start shipping on this date, and the guy I spoke to said that they anticipated stock to arrive within the next 2-3 days and that once it was in stock they would start shipping immediately. However after seeing the update on their forums yesterday I can only assume that what I was told was a complete lie.
It's really frustrating that a) Vodafone would load the phone with software (bloatware) Google obviously don't approve of and b) that they would delay the launch of the phone to do this!
why not get it through CPW or mobiles.co.uk?
sure to be unbranded then + probably cheaper anyway...
got mine on release week on VF upgrade via mobiles.co.uk
Because mine was an early upgrade (my contract isnt up 'til September) I had to go direct through Vodafone. Although by the looks of things, Vodafone might not be shipping my order until September anyway
I'd say you're probably better to wait a couple of months, especially if VF are ****ing about with the firmware...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App, innit!
My O2 phone works fine on a Vodafone SIM, so if they're having problems in testing they must be screwing around with it. That means you'll get any official updates some time after everyone else.
Plus is there the remotest chance you'll get the phone for £149.99 on a £10.50 per month contract with Vodafone? Nope.
Go to phones 4u or carphone warehouse. They will give you an unbranded sgsII as an upgrade.
I got mine as a Vodafone upgrade from phones 4 u. on April 30th.
Mine was an early upgrade. My contract doesn’t finish until 12th of June. But i was able to upgrade from 12th of April. The 2 month is added to the end of my new contract. So i can upgrade again 12th of April 2013. But again my contract won't be up till 12th of June 2013

They won't be able to do as good a deal as Vodafone will (most likely) do. I'm hoping I'll be able to get a handset-only upgrade which would mean: £35 p/m 18m, 600mins, Unlimited texts, 500MB, Vodafone passport.
Looking at mobiles.co.uk I'd have to take 300 less minutes per month and pay £79.99 for the handset. That's pretty good but since I've been with VF for a good number of years I think I can do better.

Could you barter or did you have to stick to their standard deals? Carphone warehouse can do my tariff with that phone if I pay £159.99 for the handset -- no thank you :-/
I would check on Phones 4 U website but unfortunately they kind of con you into allowing them to use your information for marketing before showing you the goods it seems. Oh well.
Could it be the NFC devices which are supposed to hit late may early june?
Means they could still be unbranded?
An optimistic view, I doubt it though. I have little faith in Vodafone! I received a response (to an email I sent) from one of Guy Laurence's people. I responded by asking her if these VF handsets will be branded. My next question will be about NFC.

£25 a month, with handset cost of £49, 12 month contract but then I do get really good discounts.
Have pre-ordered mine via http://upgrades.vodafone.co.uk/ mentioned the 19th, keeping fingers crossed, but not expecting anything.

How did you preorder yours with such a good deal?

Really, really terrible. Pity I have to wait until they're in stock to get a good deal, which means they'll probably go out of stock instantly due to all the preorders and I'll be waiting another two weeks...

same offers I get, just I can apply for discounts after I've order (this is special for me, please don't expect to barter with customer services after the phone has come out if you pre-order on a high tariff).
why are you waiting at all, I upgraded my vodaphone contract using Phones4you, got a great deal. 25/month, £60 for phone.
You can get voda's version will be full of crap and more expensive.
@stoolzio
Can you tell me how this worked? I tried three different P4U stores and they all said that they no longer do "handset upgrades". ie: They'd give me the phone, on my network, but only if I changed tariff. Since I want to keep my existing tariff I couldn't do a deal with P4U (or CPW, either).
Did you change your Voda tariff?

Same, I rang P4U earlier and they said they don't do handset only upgrades. They were £50 cheaper than CPW though.
@b33p:
Have you had a call from Voda, by any chance? They called me about 11am to say the SGS2 might be available for despatch today.
They didn't call back, so I did.
Totally different story: "It's available from the 19th".

I got mine through phones4u in PCworld, maybe things are different. To be honest I think it depends on the branch and even perhaps who you talk to, a bit inconsistent, i'll tell you why.
I first ran Phones4u and they told me the same, no upgrades, however they told me they would be doing next week (two weeks ago now). They also told me they had no handset trade in policy, none at all, nada nothing, didnt exist.
So, the following week I walk into PC world, there and then I am offerred an upgrade of my current vodoacontract and given £90 for my old HD2 (with android on it no questions asked). I was so dumbfounded I just got my cash out and signed up.
Now the proud owner of one SG2 with same phone number, minutes and everything.
I live in the Orlando FL area.
Today went to pre order the phone and they could not find it in their system, chatted on line with ATT rep, it was on line available but try as they might, the store guys couldn't find it....how odd.
Well I got a 50.00 discount on my phone bill as a result. They were very embarrasssed.
I understood their confusion but I am still shaking my head. Came home and didn't get it, still trying to work thru the whole experience.
Yup.
Same here.
I can get a new phone with a discounted price February 29th. They said I can preorder it if I go to the store, since they can waive the date because the phone comes out in the same month.
So I went in, and they couldnt find it in their system. They had me talk to two different people at ATT customer support, and they said you can only preorder online. Which I cant do because my contract cant get waived online.
So have to wait untill the 19th, and get it in store. Or they said if I call on the 19th, they will ship it out with next day shipping for free.
Have them look it up by sku when they direct fulfill your phone upgrade or new line. It doesn't show up in the master list for some reason but it is searchable by the sku number.
Carbon Blue (aka Blackish): SKU 65503
White: SKU 65371
I called to register my GN today that I bought from eBay and they said the IMEI in there system was for a Motorola phone, I had to give them my IMEI manually.

Not true about the online only, if you pre-order online or in a store it will ship to your house on the 17th, 2 days before launch.

That because in I wanna say September if I remember correctly at&t switched all upgrades to same month upgrades for our customers... so if it is lets say Feb 22nd for your upgrade date, you can really do it anytime in that month of February.

When did you order yours ? Maybe they are just out until the 1st ? I called the guy couldnt tell me anything just asked if I received a back order email which I didnt so it might still ship soon or on the 1st. I think they are running out on at&t web site too so it might just take a couple days, yes it sucks but what can you do. Maybe we can hear good news from others who bought on best buy maybe theirs has shipped.

I ordered when it showed up as available for purchase (I was waiting). I called just now and they said it's showing as backordered, but that my ETA was 4/4 - 4/15.
If I can find it somewhere else, I'll cancel and re-order, but I'm not expecting anyone else to be faster. I wish I could get the Verizon one without their service and just unlock it (I'm extremely impatient..)
Edit: in the AT&T orders thread people are receiving theirs already or have it shipped. I went ahead and ordered from there as well. I will cancel whichever doesn't ship first.
The Verizon phones are already SIM unlocked outta the box. I believe allnof their phones are but only H+ compatible. No LTE

Not on my still shows the same I log in to my best buy account a few times a day hoping to see a ship confirmation but find nothing but disappointment. I thought about calling them again and complaining about it because I think the best buy web site still has the phone for purchase so why is that if they still have not shipped mine from 3-25-14 at 3pm est ???? Maybe they might discount my price or throw something in but they dont really seem to care when you call as they offer to cancel your order like I really want to do that and end up biting my tongue because I feel that they should not be selling the phones if they dont even have them...

The verizon ones have lte frequencies that I do believe only work for verizon, at least not for at&t, Tmobile or Sprint. I think they work internationally possibly though. The thing about verizon phones is though that verizon wont let htc dev unlock your bootloader, so for the verizon model you wont get root until someone figures out s-off for the htc m8 which I think it may not be long before someone does it sounds like the devs are close to cracking it, once they do you can root the verizon model also. Another reason to hate big red other then them being a holes about everything especially not competing with prices of other networks, hopefully it will be their downfall and they will get taken over by a company with business sense and not a company that wants to squeeze evey penny out of you that they can and think they deserve it...
I definitely recommend ordering from att. It shipped and made it to my city the next day (was marked to deliver on a week day and it was Saturday so I have to wait till Monday. ) so if you want to try it could be faster.
I ordered the Gunmetal Gray from Best Buy on Tuesday when I ordered it said sips in 3-5 days. I just called BB and they told me that it was back ordered, they said if it does not come back in stock by April 8th then they would automatically cancel my order. He did say that they are expecting it to come back in stock by April 8. It would be nice if I didn't have to call them to find out that it was back ordered.

I just ordered mine a few minutes ago, and it said estimated delivery April 7-19.
Should I be worried that this is a new batch that's gonna be locked?
Still waiting for mine :/
I just walked in to best buy and bought mine. Amber gold I'm happy as hell lol

When I got my order confirmation on the 29th it said: "Estimated arrival date: April 3 - April 15"
Well, UK and US do, so why not us. First off, I hate not being in US/Canada/UK with their fancy "1-day delivery" option. I tried ordering from "mobilefun" India (they have a 2-day shipping option), but they just re-credited my money with a TOTALLY NOT vague: "We could not go through with your order due to `security reasons'". So I just resigned to doing it from play store, shipping 09/Jul...looks like I'll only get it late next week .
Anyone else ordering this? Did you have success from NON play-store places, or somewhere with a 2-day type option? I've never ordered from play-store in India before...how fast does the shipping REALLY take usually (I live in Bangalore).
And of course: OH GOD I CAN'T WAIT..AAAHHHH
Note: IN stands for India...
I have ordered through play store..

If you don't mind please, could you elaborate:
when did you place order
when was the "ship by date"
Have you gotten a shipment confirmation email, if yes, when did you get it
I'm trying to figure out what kind of shipment delays they are encountering.
Google and LG seems to have goofed up a lot with G Watch stock and shipment specially for india customers, I ordered few days back when it was showing as In Stock, then they gave 9th as dispactch date now when I called customer servoce theu had no clue then they emailed me that stock delays etc non sense and they dont know when it will be shipped
its a very unprofessional behaviour by google and LG for indian customers, how come an order placed while In Stock is not processed , ridiculous

SAME HERE. Though for me it showed as "shipping in 1-2 bussiness days" by the time I paid for it, so that was OK. It's half way through the day and still I don't have any shipping details.
On the plus side: the dude said it ships from Mumbai, if he ships by tonight using Bluedart or something I MAY get it before the weekend, or on Saturday.
On the minus side: No way the above is happening.
The *only* way to know what is going on right now is to collect info from people for whom it showed "shipping by 8th" have THEY gotten their shipped confirmation yet? I'm going to assume ours will ship 1 day after whenever theirs shipped. So please, anyone know anyone who has 8th as shipby date?

Yeap, that's what I thought. The dude on the other end of the indian play store help phone number said mumbai though. He said the devices are shipped (I assume in bulk) to the mumbai ship center at which point it ships from there to customers. The "ship by" date denotes "individual customer"s ship, meaning it is supposed to leave MUMBAI at that time. Which makes sense, to get all the customs out of the way prior to customer interaction.

well, I have replied a very stern mail to them asking why an ordered placed while in stock is struggling with stock now....they said they will come back in a day or so..
overall not a good impression on google online sales strategy
I am also experiencing the same issue. Ordered on June 25th morning and the order said it would ship by yesterday. Today the status of the order in "My Order" is blank. I sent an email to the support team and the same generic reply that it is not in stock.
I guess we have no option but to wait and "watch"
Bad pun. Sorry.

They said they are having customs issues getting the watch into the country (AFTER which it is shipped to individual costumers from the warehouse/shipping center in Mumbai). So...it is delayed indefinitely. Since this is India, I am going to say no one here is getting their hands on that watch till late august or early september.

Gotta start saving! Did the mistake of buying a Sony after using my S5 for more than two years. Going to be great to return to a Samsung.
Waiting for the "Beauty And The Beast" to be launched.

If pre-ordered from what I read...
Yes I read announced 2/20 for pre-order and hits the market on 3/8. I signed up to reserve a pre-order spot for me and my husband cause of the $550 trade in. I hope they give away the new galaxy buds too. I called Best Buy to see if they knew what their deals were going to be yet and he said they won't know till the announcement date and when it's time to pre-order. I can't see Best Buy giving $550 trade in though.

Is they announce, they'll give away galaxy earbuds along with S10.
You think they will give them away too or they've already announced it? I'm guessing will know on the 20th that is when we will pre-order for a guaranteed 3/8 delivery.

I don't know what to do now lots of people over on slick deals are saying Samsung has screwed them over and tired to say their phone was messed up once they got it and not giving the full amount you think your getting. Now I see Best Buy is doing $550 too so I am not sure who to order from now. And yes I am so glad the buds are free with it. Now to pick a color.

I see where the phone will be available on March 8 at my Bestbuy while Samsung has given me a shipping date of March 15. I looked on Bestbuy's website to think about trading there instead but saw this, "Trade-in valid in store only. Minimum savings is $50. Savings excludes unlocked phones. Terms and conditions apply". Since BB is only accepting locked phones that leaves me out.

No my Best Buy and I asked them over and over in store and on the phone before I went in their is 2 deals a 650 and a 550. I am trading in my unlocked S9plus and buying an unlo9cked S10plus. When the phone comes in go to pick it up turn in my S9plus and get 550 off my S10plus. I was told this by 2 people in store and when I called I asked the guy 3 times and he said has to be done in store and I said well I am coming in let me repeat my self to make sure you understand what I want to do and I want to make sure your telling me correctly and I got his name. I have pre-order reserve date.
I preordered S10+ today will get it on March 1 with Buds.

I hope so on your part. I've already started the trade-in with Samsung but was out earlier and wanted to look at the phone at Best Buy. I asked the Samsung salesman in the store and he told me they were restricted to carrier locked phones only for the trade-in program. There was another sales person standing there and she didn't correct him. At least you got a name and if they then refuse you can just cancel the sale altogether.

I went to my local authorised Samsung shop and paid 20% deposit. Despite online preorders coming to customers only on March 6 shop personnel assured me that on March 1 I can visit shop and get my phone.
The shop already had display units so I guess they have some stock.
Already Got it.
