Oneplus 7T and 7T Pro

Yep, this is through the Vodacom upgrade portal so it is probably discounted for current subscribers. I've been waiting for the right deal and this may be it!

S hit man, that's a pity!! Damn it!! Yeah, at R399 it's a very sweet deal!! I mean, so sweet I'd be prepared to port from MTN! Although with the dual sim functionality of the OP, that wouldn't be necessary. R9600 over 2 years for a 7T Pro plus the minutes, sms and data, Ja, it's a very decent deal alright.

I'm seeing the 7t Pro for R499 now, not R399, unless I'm looking at the wrong deal... Very good deal at R399, I must say. I'd be tempted at that price not that there is anything wrong with my 7Pro but my daughter would love to retire her OP6 at some stage. The Pro would be a decent upgrade for her....

I found the deal under Shop > Specials > Red Hot Dealz and that was before I signed into the website.

and if you go here - https://www.vodacom.co.za/cloud/shopping/product-details/OnePlus_7T_Pro and click "I want this device on contract" you have the R399 option and some other contract packages.

I don't think it's exclusive to upgrades only.

Don't think so! Don't think any of the networks have for years now, but you just never know?!! I think at the very worst the phone might come with a whole lot of Voda crap installed and on the splashscreen etc.... will most likely root in any event... and load custom rom...

Vodacom have been known to software block dual SIM on the Xiaomi's

Have they? I'll be seriously pissed if they do the same on the OP. Very simple phone to root though, unless Vodacom can mess with that too? Will void warranty though.

Maybe some of you that have ordered your devices early can check and revert re bloatware, network lock and dual SIM functionality. Any one of those and I might have to send mine back on delivery.

Im sure you will be able to flash other software. As you said OnePlus is easy to root and flash software

Hmmm, wish they would be more open about important specs like this. I do not see an easy way to find out if the phone is dual sim, without actually buying it. Cellucity's one is showing as a Single sim :crying:

Network locks are back, but are only being used on the lower end of the spectrum on subsidized phones for now. They also mark these phones clearly.

For sure but then rooting would most likely void warranty. If I had an issue with the phone I would need to revert it to stock before returning it.

Might be a few hoops to jump through going forward which doesn't excite me. But let's wait and see feedback from subscribers that actually get the phone.
 
From what I could find is that all OnePlus 7T Pro models are in fact dual sim. However Vodacom might have a software block on it. Hopefully not!
 
Wonder if @Ockie would be able to provide any answers regarding the 7T/7T Pro:
1.) Network locked or not?
2.) Vodacom bloatware custom installed on the phone?
3.) Dual sim functionality disabled or not?

According to Vodacom sales call centre the 7T Pro is the 12GB version. But they couldn't tell me anything else, e.g. network-locked, etc.

Most importantly for me is the cancellation terms. Website says device cost is 220pm. I'd just pay that off and cancel the contract. Rep was supposed to get back to me, but pretty sure he thought it's too much PT, so I'm not holding my breath.

Would also like to know if Vodacom will stock newer OnePlus phones too.

Cancellation terms state a 'reasonable fee' that they pen at 75% of the balance of the contract. R399 * 24 = 9576 * .75 = R7182
