iPhone 7/7+ - UK Orders & Dispatches Thread

Just incase people don't know on O2 Pay Monthly, you can request to unlock your iPhone and i did my iPhone 6 Plus a few months ago and i got it for free

Have a feeling this is b*llocks now, checked american buyers and they've not seen i=any changes...

It might be legit. Mine has just updated to Delivery on September 5, 1997!! Woo

I'd say it's ambiguous.

So you're worried that you buy an "unlocked" phone, insert say an O2 sim then it's locked to O2?

 

[Helen2016]

I'd say that was pretty clear to be honest.

But how would it sim lock after you put a sim in? Is that even possible that a provider like o2 could lock a phone that you haven't brought from them

It does do that, its something apple has done on all there iPhones

I'm 99.9% sure iPhones don't work like that. They're locked at a network level before you even put your sim in. If companies sell unlocked, they'll be unlocked.

I buy all my iPhones unlocked from Apple... I've switched mobile providers while keeping the same phone a few times and never had a problem.

I don't know about the rules now, but I bought from CPW before and it locked to the first network I put in, had to pay to have it unlocked.

No I'm not worried at all.

We talk about this every iPhone launch! CPW sell 'unlocked' but they (and possibly others) lock to the first SIM card you put in there. It's not truly 'unlocked'.
Apple are truly unlocked and people have also said that John Lewis are. Jury is still out (I think?) on very.co.uk

I always buy from Apple or direct from networks, so sorry for the duff info guys!

Update on the Orzly cases, seems as though the code is one per customer. I just used another account to get another case at half price. Now I have got two cases on order to see which I prefer.

so it was BS on the jet black order moving forward?

Okay I was reading this and at first you had me going until I saw 1997!

Unfortunately think you are right we are all ripe to be trolled!

 

[RA1N1]

Total BS.

 

[Jinjin]

Total BS.

oh the things people do for kicks

 

[KarimLeVallois]

They need a good kick in the head!

 

[Milese3]

Amazing. They must have found some stock for launch day instead of their delayed time and you must have been right at the front of the queue.

Meanwhile I'm a 8:04am'er with a 128GB Matte Black 7+ and I am still on 27-29.

Same :/

Just realised that the EE upgrade tariff I selected online doesn't allow to upgrade after 12 months. Might see if I can change but will likely need to pay £99 upfront instead of £49 so now thinking I will hold out until I can get a Jet Black plus direct from Apple - ideally on the upgrade programme.
