Update 17/12: Deal is over. VF has run out of stock. Congrats and Merry Christmas to those who scored! :)

<del>MOD: According to users on pg5, the deal has been reinstated.</del>

<del>Update: Deal is finished. Repayment is now back to $30. :( Good luck to those who have ordered, though!</del>

OK, per request from the other HTC Legend thread…

If you’re a member of one of the motoring clubs (NRMA, RACV, etc), you
might want to check out Vodafone. They currently have the HTC Legend for $0 repayment on their 12-month $29 cap.

Navigate to the link below:

http://store.vodafone.com.au/handset-htc-legend.aspx?company…

Then select '12 month'.

By my calculation, your min cost over 12 months should be (after 10% discount and 3 months free access):

$29 * 10% off * 9 months = $234.9

(plus, possibly, $84 moneybackco cashback for those who managed)

Which is outstanding value for a pocketable Android 2.2 phone with such strong specs. And it comes with a cap with 200mb data!

Be warned, though, that Voda’s customer service (or the lack of it, really) is shocking! Have a look at discussions on whirlpool!

      true, but still an ok deal i guess, if you can get it for 29 a month even without the extra

    would the phone be locked to vodafone's network??

      Pls read all the post from beginning. Unlock is free. Quoted from whirlpool forum.

  • ryban3z on 15/12/2010 - 22:55

    so did you guys agree to transfer your number(port it over)?

    i am not an existing vodafone customer

    • chansthename on 16/12/2010 - 12:16

      yeah, I chose to port my number over, I hope if they cancel they do it before porting it over to prevent a lot of frustration for me ;)

    My two exisiting optus contract just expired this month. This comes in perfect time. Ordered two and let's see how it goes. Yes, have to say it's a crazy price.

  • chloden on 15/12/2010 - 23:16

    I can't get in through the link, or the nrma website. I have tried through 3 different browsers and no luck. Is anyone else having problems?

  • Zaia on 15/12/2010 - 23:36

    Wtf, I just bought the phone on the $49 cap with voda….

    Just a heads up, the phone is amazing, but reception is horrible. I haven't confirmed whether it's vodafone or the HTC, but my research suggests it could be the phone. They've had some complaints about its antenna. I have never had a message been undelivered in my life until now, and at least 50% of my messages are undelivered now. I was a Three customer before, but before then I was on Vodafone (and never had this problem) so it could be the phone.

    • scheps on 15/12/2010 - 23:47

      wow that sounds bad

    • SydStrand on 15/12/2010 - 23:51

      I have an unlocked Legend on Optus prepaid and an iPhone 4 on Vodaphone plan and I have no problems with the Legend, while the iPhone definitely has 3G issues. Of course, this is just my personal experience but it definitely appears to be a network issue.

  • Hpstar on 15/12/2010 - 23:39

  • McLarenHonda on 15/12/2010 - 23:59

    Guys, I'm told this is a slow moving line at Vodafone due to customers who seems to prefer Desire, Desire HD and Samsung Galaxy over these things. As such, I see no reason why this deal is not legit

    • Falbium on 16/12/2010 - 00:04
      +3

      This is one reason:

      12 month $49 cap = $20 handset repayment
      12 month $69 cap = $10 handset repayment
      12 month $29 cap = $0? Not bloody likely.

  • EnALup on 16/12/2010 - 01:58

    I am wandering, I have ported my number. What will happen, if they dont respect this deal. Will they still port my no.? Hope, I am not stuck without any no.

    • dy4me on 16/12/2010 - 06:53

      ur number will move across to vodafone only once they ship out and after u call to activate

      • EnALup on 16/12/2010 - 07:55

        Thanks xavierdylan. Thats a relief.

        • scheps on 16/12/2010 - 09:45

          you can still port if you didnt select yes i want to port at that time? someone was mentioning there is a fee if you ported online vs call them once you receive your phone etc.

        • dy4me on 16/12/2010 - 12:59

          not true. you can port at any time. i know some1 who did it. no wait. i did it for some1. so it can be done. For FREE. at any time. You just have to speak to some1 who knows what they are doing.

  • EggMan28 on 16/12/2010 - 07:25

    Just ordered. Strange that there is no final confirmation / review page. Somehow managed a typo by having my surname show up twice (eg firstname lastname lastname) in the order… Hope that doesn't complicate the order…

    • ESEMCE on 16/12/2010 - 09:13

      It's not just me that thinks this weird then!
      I've accidentally ordered 2 phones because there was no review!

      I was really just going through the process to see if there was a catch somewhere. Didn't realise what an awesome deal it was until well after I'd accidentally bought!

      • greentree on 16/12/2010 - 13:19

        Funny enough, I had the exactly same experience as you. I ended up with 2 phone orders. Don't know what to do. Maybe trying to cancel one of them

  • chloden on 16/12/2010 - 09:06

    I have just ordered through the call centre in Tas. The woman I spoke to was very friendly and confirmed payment of $26ish per month.

    • F4_lion on 16/12/2010 - 09:24

      chloden, just wondering if you signed up for 12 months or 24 months? Since the 24 months contract at $29 is "normal".

      • chloden on 16/12/2010 - 09:29

        12 months

    • bonbon on 16/12/2010 - 10:58

      I have a feeling Vodaphone either
      -just keep quite and pretend nothing ever happened, so all order will be stuck at being processed.
      -OR processed the order and start charging $30 on top of monthly cap.

      :)

        You don't need to actually order via the MBC link. I figure it works in the Cookies or something, so i just opened one link via MBC, so it is remembered in Cookie, then open the motor club link and ordered one.

  • berserkk on 16/12/2010 - 11:36

    • mily on 16/12/2010 - 11:41

      Don't worry, I have contributed 100 clicks to this thread, probably even more, so if in average whoever replied in this thread came back for 20 times, that would be about 2000 clicks, and this helps VF to cut the loss under $700k. I am sure they can afford this, lol.

      • kimmik on 16/12/2010 - 18:32

        no the click counter is for clicks originating from different ip/login.

        you only contributed 1 click.

    • Saturday on 16/12/2010 - 11:43

      The assumption isn't right. I clicked this deal more than 10 times (at least), but only ordered one:-)

    • dy4me on 16/12/2010 - 11:49

      i am sure vodafone wont make a loss on a phone that is pretty outdated compared to the newer phone on the market. plus they are probably hoping you go over ur cap or move to a higher cap or take out additional data plans. thats where they will make their money. kinda like sony not making profit of their ps3 console but making money off the games.

      • applebyte on 16/12/2010 - 11:54

        If each click was 1 customer, then they gain 4000 customers… many of which may stay on for quite some time

      don't you have anyone who can use the credit, a younger responsible family member perhaps?

      It feels like you are not taking full advantage if you don't use the credit, then again this may save voda a little more money

      • dy4me on 16/12/2010 - 12:39

        it saves them little to no money. the network is already in place. and additional customer generally wont cost more . they use their existing infrastructure and telco agreements. Thats why carriers benefit by having more customers sharing the same network.

      I just received a call from Vadaphone, asking if I did want two phones or just one because I ordered two for two different numbers. The lady was very nice, and didn't mention anything about the monthly price. She told me that they will do credit check and then ship out the mobiles if I pass the credit check. It seems that they are going to honour it.

      • dy4me on 16/12/2010 - 14:10
