Hello,

We went to a Vodaphone shop to get me a Iphone and a monthly contract with Vodaphone. Hubby's company phone is with them so to save money, we want to go to the same provider.

They told us that Vodaphone refuse to give a smartphone with a monthly plan to those with the NIE (paper). Apparently, it is not enough for Vodaphone, it has to be the card....

???

I explained to them the NIE is now on paper, but they don't get it or it is indeed a rule we don't know, don't understand.

Is anyone had this same experience? I will try an other Vodaphone shop tomorrow. I am very mad, they made us fill the form, sign the contract, took our bank account number, made us wait 5 days and they come up with this.

Cheers

They are telling you a load of crap you do not have to show them the NIE just have to give it verbally

Are you sure they are asking for an NIE and not DNI? Anybody can obtain an NIE. Presumably they want to see Residence as opposed to mere registration?
