Ok I'm kinda simple so I gotta ask here where you say you installed the latest rom in recovery with the command "adb sideload rom.zip" then did a wipe. . Was that command all it took to install it? Or did you also have to flash it in recovery? I guess what I'm asking is could you have just put the rom.zip on your sd card then flashed in recovery like an update.zip? Or it just took the sideload command and it was installed without also having to flash it in recovery? I know some retard (me) always has some stupid question lol.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew which retailers in the UK are taking pre-order for a sim free P20 Pro dual sim variant (as part of the free Bose Headphones deal)?

I have looked at the following retailers so far and none of them seem to have the dual sim variant,

Carphone Warehouse

John Lewis

Vodafone

Very

O2

EE

Three UK seems to have the dual sim variant, but they are only available on Pay monthly deals and I am looking for sim free deals.

Anyone who know about the availability in the UK, can you please share with others?

Thanks

I am in exactly the same boat. Waiting on Amazon to see if they list as a pre order before launch date. Obviously running out of time.

I am toying with the idea of buying through three on a pay monthly and then cancelling the contract and paying it off. Need to do more digging on this but think you get a 20% discount to pay off early which makes it under £700 (I think)
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] hitpl:
Thanks Daz_2000.

I plan to call Three to get this clarified and see how much it comes up to after cancelling. I am hoping you can still keep the headphones and that it doesn't affect the credit ratings :)

I will post an update after I have spoken with Three.

Cheers!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] hitpl:
Hi daz_2000,

Just finished speaking to Three about the contract and they say, it needs to be paid in full of the remaining contract period. So, I did the math and even for the cheapest plan they have, it comes up to £940 (£99 upfront + £35x24), which is £140 more than buying it sim free.

Can't decide if I want to pay that much extra money for a dual SIM variant...
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] daz_2000:
I think you should get 20% discount to cancel. It's mentioned in their terms...

"Lump sum equivalent to the total of the Monthly

Charges remaining during the Minimum Term of your

agreement less a variable discount, currently 20%. We

reserve the right to vary the amount of the percentage

discount from time to time."

Link. http://www.three.co.uk/termspdf/Essential__Plan_PriceGuide_190318.pdf

E.g. pay £99 for handset on 24 month deal at £35 per month.

Then cancel after first month.

So I would have paid £99 + £35 + £644 = £778

The 664 is 23 months x 35 -20%
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] hitpl:
Hi daz_2000,

Yes, I did check the same terms and conditions on their site after speaking to the customer assistant, who clearly mislead me in the first place.

After checking the terms and conditions and having spoken to an another customer assistant, he confirmed that the lump sum is less 20% of the remaining contract.

So, I have now ordered a P20 Pro from Three, as I am losing patience and it seems the best deal to get a dual SIM in the UK with the free headphones :)

Looking forward to getting the phone on Friday :)

Cheers and thanks for your comments!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] mikejasonsmith:
Just pulled the trigger on the phone from three based on this so fingers crossed as I will be cancelling too to get the discount ?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] daz_2000:
Has anyone ordered from three got delivery or order confirmation as yet?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] orbital247:
Got order confirmation straight away when ordered on Monday, assume I'll get the usual tracking info from the delivery company later tonight (thursday).
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] hitpl:
That's great. I haven't received any confirmation yet. I placed the order over the phone. Called them yesterday chasing for the confirmation and they said I shall get it all tomorrow morning. I hope they don't mess up with the confirmation on pre-order bit by sending it all tomorrow.

Wish things were simpler in this world!!!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zootzoot:
I ordered Tuesday from three and I'm still waiting for confirmation.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] daz_2000:

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] hitpl:
Argh... Typical Pre-order frustrations!! Last time I experienced it was when I pre-ordered Nexus 6P (by Huawei).

It still says Estimated delivery to be the 6th April on their website, so I am going to keep hoping :)

You and me both! ?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] hitpl:
Website now updated to say, estimated delivery latest by 9th April :mad::mad:
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] orbital247:
Aaarggh... my order confirmation email states:

Estimated delivery date:* Friday, 6th April

If there are any changes to this date we'll let you know by email.

No email yet but after the above and someone commenting earlier that they hadn't received the stock from Huawei i'm not holding out much hope for tomorrow....:rolleyes:
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] hitpl:
I arranged to work from home tomorrow, thinking it will be delivered tomorrow. So, they are getting some feedback alright, this evening!!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] orbital247:
Problem is in my experience you don't hear anything till about 10pm the evening before delivery (when a dispatch/delivery notice comes through) no way of telling before then, even calling in gets mixed results!.

I'm just resigned to getting it whenever, problem is i'm super impatient as my s9 sucks (battery and call issues).
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] hitpl:
But I a hoping they would know if they have got the stock today to be able to dispatch it tomorrow?

I believe a lot of us are in the same boat of being impatient :) Though I am still more than happy with my nearly 3 years old Nexus 6P (not rubbing in, promise!)
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] daz_2000:
I called three again. They confirmed mine will be out for delivery tomorrow and I'll get a text in morning with delivery slot. Not holding my breath. But fingers crossed!

Claim Validated and will be on their way within 30 days :good:
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] DaveP2611:
Thanks for this number, I had an email yesterday asking for the IMEI, although I had already provided it, so sent a screenshot from the phone with it as well, but just called to confirm and they've validated the claim for me, I can now rest easy.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] walkerx:
submitted mine @ weekend, just rung them and they validated it over the phone, got both text and email to confirm, been told 30 days for headphones :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] shadowgolf:
So how many of us are actually going to keep the headphones? I'm going to try them to see how much better they are (if at all) than the ones I've already got. I imagine there'll be a glut on eBay in a few weeks time!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] adamelphick:
Probably gonna keep them if they are as good as my Bose wired ones - kinda like the idea of no wire! LOL I think they can also be wired so they can be used on a plane if you want as well (which is what I mainly use my existing ones for).
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] walkerx:
i'll be keeping mine will be better than my cowen e-7 headphones
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] hitpl:
I have Sony MDR1000X, which are just a few months old. And the reviews between the two say they are almost similar with differences here and there.

So, still can't decide if I will sell Bose as is with the factory sealed or keep them and sell Sony. A real thinker!!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] hitpl:
So, since our claims are validated, do you think it. Is safe to now give 30 days notice to Three to cancel our contract? Or is there a risk of it affecting the claim before it is delivered?

Has anyone of you already cancelled your contract and gave the notice yet?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] orangecroc:
If you cancel the contract now you will be liable for the full contract value as its after the statutory 14 days. That's why we had to wait that long to claim.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] hitpl:
I understand that and I am willing to pay for the contract value (which actually is 20% less of the total sum of 24 months) and that turns out to be quite reasonable.

Just don't want to cancel it if there are any risks of not getting the headset :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] orangecroc:
I imagine the headset is safe as its through Huawei.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] DaveP2611:
I would imagine you are safe as you are fulfilling the contract anyway by paying the fees. It's mainly to stop those from returning before the 14 days with no financial loss to the buyer.

I'll be keeping mine, looked at getting the same set over Christmas but couldn't really justify the price tag, lots of places had sales on the wired model but not the wireless. This promo worked out pretty sweet for me as it was exactly what I was after. Given that I managed to sell my Pixel 2XL for £670 and this whole contract is only costing £790 over the two years it was perfect timing.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Mjp69:
Re dual sim P20 Pro 3 mobile

I'd be very careful when choosing to set up a contract with 3 mobile, to then cancel. I recently paid an early termination fee - to end a contract because my Daughter was running me up big bills. They seemed very helpful and co-operative at first - an early termination fee that was initially £37 esculated to £145, which worked out more than the 12 month sim was worth and I was 6 months into the contract. I hasten to add the payment was made within the time specified - they're totally untrustworthy and I'd advised you to be very careful and get whatever they say in writing. Dual sim versions can be purchased from a very reputable company named Wonda mobile - purchased many devices, arrive within 3 days, zero import charges and very highly recommended.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] walkerx:
I've heard these kind of stories and that 3 are breaking ofcom rules and the law when customers are cancelling

when you cancel a contract you are liable for the remaining term less vat and 3 are not returning the vat and not declaring they have kept it to the vat man. they are allowed to take the vat for the hardware side only if it is still outstanding, so if you look at their minimum deal this is what you should pay.

£99 deposit

£35 * 24 = £840

P20 Pro = £799

£99+£840=£939-£799=£140 for contract

£140-£23.33 vat (£140/1.2) = £116.67

Total to cancel = £816.67 (£700 P20 Pro + £116.67 contract) if cancelled now

Remember the final payment should never be more than what the whole contract would have cost

Mobile additional charges

Three Rips off customers ending contracts early

i want to cancel my mobile phone contract early
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] SiN-JiN89:
I asked Huawei that and they said if you keep the handset there shouldn't be a problem but who knows with these networks, some like Vodafone practice very illegally and would worry if the headphones is something you really want.

Technical problems

We have again experienced ongoing road closures in the proximity of our processing hubs, plus there has been an outage overnight with our core IT systems that has significantly affected the transfer of pre-advice data and tracking events around our network. Everything is being done to get this fixed as a matter of upmost urgency.

Despite this, the vast majority of parcels were successfully processed overnight, they have been received in our delivery depots and will be delivered as normal today. A small proportion will not arrive in our depots this morning and these will be prioritised for delivery tomorrow.

The main issue this morning is the visibility of tracking data. We have had to suspend the Tracking and Reporting Dashboard, there will be no SMS notification services, no MyParcelLive and these tracking events will not be visible on the Parcelforce App.

We of course apologise for the inconvenience this may cause but can assure you that we are doing all we can to get our service back to the normal levels that you should expect.
