They are, that was all sorted after the initial weekend.

I can assure it is definitely a 4G handset. I placed an EE SIM in it and had perfect 4G coverage.

I bought one of these iPhone6 ones. Fits quite nicely, although there is a small bit either side. But it will do for now.

Did you have any trouble unlocking it? I'm thinking of getting this as an upgrade from my Moto E 1st Gen on which is on EE payg.

How's the camera? I've only been able to find one sample image online

Took twenty minutes to get the code and under one minute to unlock. Lemon squeezy.

I have no idea how the camera is as I sold the phone three days later.

Not especially, but lack of pedometer was the killer for me. I found Android pure chaos. Also noted the the phone froze during simple tasks several times.

However, it's cheap, screen is great, streamed TV looks great on it and many other plus points.

I've got one now, it's simply a no brainier if you want a large screen device without being hit with a £500+ bill.

Stock android experience.
Great specs
And only £125

The quality of the screen is the biggest surprise so far for me.

Now that availability on Vodafone's UK website is showing as 2-4 working days for this model, although they do not appear to be able to order you one over the phone, I am sure that many folk will be anxious to place an order for one.

If you are tempted to do so, or are possibly offered a good 'deal' by retentions, please do be aware that this particular model is offered in Silver, with a white screen surround, or Grey, with a black screen surround.

The former may not be to everyone's taste, so make sure that you check first, or make this very clear when placing an order.

Unfortunately I have not been able to check mine out yet as Vodafone managed to send me a faulty SIM card!

I was just going to use LMGTFY and put the words "Vodafone smart Ultra 6 Asda" in and post that, but as its late you can have the link which comes from a hit on the first page of a Google search .

I couldn't find it either from a search yesterday. This topic has a higher ranking today.

From ASDA's description;
'Product Information

At ASDA, we do everything we can to make sure the information about the products we sell is always as accurate as possible. However, because products are regularly improved, the product information, ingredients, nutritional guides and dietary or allergy advice may occasionally change.
'


Do they even know what they're selling? What's it taste like?

Apart from the size, looks to be a good phone.

No problem, you are right about the Asda site though, it's quite a complicated mess if you try and just search for the item using their site.

I nipped into my local Asda branch to buy some as the website is quite miss leading title say ultra but the descriptions for the Smart Prime 6, and they said they didn't sell the ultra only the Prime, so im starting to think the title is wrong on the website, also nipped into my local Vodafone shop and they said wont have any for a few week,

I needed a new phone by the end of this week, Decided to have a scower on ebay and come across a uk seller of the Iocean rock which is a china phone that i had read a fair few reviews on, had china phones before and been happy with them, It has just as good (if not better) spec than the ultra so ordered some of them to be delivered Wednesday 1 for me 1 for my cuz , £140 vs £125 but has a slightly more powerful processor, 8x 1.70ghz vs 4*1.50+4x1.0Ghz and a extra gig ram 2 vs 3 so worth it i think,

if any ones interested the ebay code is 231591047946 for the black all the white have sold out i got the last 2

Thanks all for the pointers i did get my hopes up for asda having them as with the discount it would of been a good bargain

I ordered one from the on-line Vodafone store on Saturday morning and it was delivered (free) by DPD today (Monday)... can't ask for better service than that!

For those of you wanting a case ...

Buy an iPhone 6+ soft gel case - its the same size as the Smart Ultra 6. You'll have to do some work with a craft knife (cut a hole for the speaker, make the camera opening a little larger), maybe make some markings on the side for the power/volume button positioning - but it works surprisingly well

Yes, I got that when I had the phone. Amazed it hadn't been addressed yet. If I remember correctly the issue was with the app and not the phone.

Downloaded the latest updates of software and now Sky Go works. Really am loving this phone especially for this price!

Just bought one of these phones, it's great for the price (£115). Apps run well and the screen is impressive. I'm really happy with it.
