    *** Sky TV Cancellation & Negotiation Thread ***

    Thank you for confirming. Disappointing, but it does explain why their retention offers appear to have suddenly changed.

    *** Sky TV Cancellation & Negotiation Thread ***

    My current package is the £50 pm Sky Q Box Sets bundle with a 2TB box + 1 mini. The contract was taken out Nov 16 for 12 months. The monthly cost is due to increase to £51.50 in April so I called Sky to see if I could negotiate a new contract, possibly to include the F1 channel. I was put...

    **** The Official Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ Thread ****

    Thank you for the update. A pity overall - I'll cancel my delivery as the phone is not sitting back at the distribution depot. How frustrating!

    Many thanks. I definitely don't want to be dependent on EE. Will look forward to the update.

    **** The Official Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ Thread ****

    That's what I would have done. My phone hasn't been delivered yet - apparently the van broke down! I'm seriously thinking of refusing to accept delivery so it gets returned at their expense. Overall, Chitter Chatter have been a pain. They couldn't fulfill their promise of delivering on the 21st...

    Thanks for the update. Is that after the unlock code has been entered? If so, the info I was given yesterday in the Webchat was incorrect.

    Looking at the SamMobile firmware list, I believe that the PDA represents your build version. Your CSC is the sales code - you can check your ROM CSC by dialling *#1234#. https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950F/BTU/ If Chitter Chatter is correct, after inputting the code to...

    Yes, BTU is definitely what I would really want to see.

    **** The Official Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ Thread ****

    That was my concern ie it would be an unlocked EE firmware. However, he replied "I have been assured that once the unlocking code has been entered the phone is then as per a factory unlocked one would be, They are not reliant on EE updates". Personally, I will be looking to check that the...

    **** The Official Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ Thread ****

    I asked ChitterChatter that very question yesterday via WebChat. I was advised "They will be fully unlocked, EE have allowed us to do this due to the issue we are having with our standard sim free supplier, so EE have agreed to allow is to provide the unlocking codes to these phones and once...

    I suspect that you'll see the cashback amount reduced to £19.20. I understood that the £35 related to S8 contract sales - at the bottom of the Quidco page when I placed my order, it stated that Sim Free sales were paid at 3% which is the amount at which mine has tracked. That said, £620 for the...

    Mine has also already been shipped, so it is too late to cancel. If the code truly switches the phone to a BTU/XEU firmware, then fair enough. My cashback was £19.20 via Quidco which is shown as tracked.

    **** The Official Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ Thread ****

    Confirmation received today that my S8 (Sim Free) has shipped from Chitter Chatter. However, the email states that "You will be receiving your sim free unlock code for your phone via email on Friday. Please keep this code safe as you will need this to unlock the handset to selected networks"...

    Ditto. Annoying though that they are still advertising on their website "Be the first to unbox" and they took payment from my card at the time the order was placed.

    Just noticed a couple of anomalies with the final BTU version of MM on my S6. The user manual is in French and I am unable to see any of my IMAP custom folders in the default mail app except inbox, sent, draft etc. Tried a hard reset and the issues remain. Please could someone check their...

    If you own an unbranded Samsung phone, the CSC (Country Service Code) is BTU (United Kingdom).

    It's out for the BTU S6 devices. I had to go to settings > about device to start the update.
