i phoned up these guys about this deal today, and before i agreed anything i asked him about the 8 months free and whether the phone was branded at all...
branding: "all our phones are sim-free" "yes you can put any network sim in it"
8 months free: "no you dont have to do anything to get your 8 months free, we will send you a cheque on months 4, 8, and 12"
so i was sold on it! even if it turns out i have to send my bills in, im sure ill manage 
plus if it does turn out to be voda-branded after all, ill just return it using my 14-day guaruntee.
that should help everyone make up their mind

Just make sure u read the term and conditions b4 u switch on your phone. Otherwise they might not let u return the phone even if the phone is branded. I am still waiting for my though. Vodafone phone still doing a credit check on me even though I have 4 O2 accounts at the moment. Vodafone phone r just so slow! |

If they do come unlocked, couldn't you just put another network's SIM in it to see if it's branded or not? |

tomg, of course u could do it that way to check whether the phone is unbrabded or not. The problem is some of the supplier won't let u return the phone once u have made any calls or using the phone so make sure u fully understand their return policy b4 u use the phone. |

yea that was also questioned. guy said "you can have a play about on the phoen, but dont use any calls or texts" when i asked him if there was still a 14-day returns policy... |

Okay, thanks... so can I just check this....
I can order this phone, with the £110 Vodafone deal, take it out the box, turn it on, shove another SIM in it, check to see if it's been branded and crippled... and if it has, send it back within 14 days?
According to One Stop Phone Shop's terms and conditions, "If you use the equipment you will be deemed to have accepted the contract unless the equipment is subject to a trial period."
How do they define "using the equipment"? I take it they won't be able to tell if I've merely turned the phone on?
Thanks! |

yea that was my plan, im gonna use my o2online pay&go sim in it, turn it on, see if its branded. if it is return it. if they make a fuss, refer to the nice man who told me i could do that on the phone
anyway all this is stupid, since its most likely gonna be a sim-free model, as the nice man also said. but you just never know... |

Plus by the time we get it, other people will have hopefully have received theirs... and can alert us to branded nonsense, for a swift pre-delivery cancellation! |

I know the Voda branded phone should come with a Vodafone sticker instead of the QuickShare sticker so if the phone has a Quick Share sticker then I assume it is a unbranded handset.
