Strange...were they SIMs from two different networks? I did the same with my JL ordered phone and it was locked to the first network. In any case, you can always get it unlocked afterwards as most networks do it for free - I know Three does.
Got a tip for us?

This used to be the case but isn't any longer. CPW phones do still lock to the first network however. This debate has been well-worn over the last 500 pages - let's not drag it up again.
Just had a chat with Apple customer support and they have offered to let me keep my current iPhone 7 + MB with the buzzing/hissing/whiring issues until I receive my new phone. From that point is when the 14 day return kicks in.
He's sent me an e-mail that I am to hand in at the store when I take the phone back.
Their customer support really is very good!!

There is a thread on it under the "stickied" posts. Seems like quite a few from the same batch but don't forget people with no issues don't say anything so definitely in the minority.
Just checked and I'm still PFD and no update on my support profile. Doesn't seem like much benefit with these pre-orders with John Lewis getting so much stock!
Oh well!
Seriously can't believe nearly 2 weeks past since launch, that the plus availability is still so poor in store. What are Apple playing at? They slashed all there forecasts for the 7, now it looks like it's the hottest must have gadget yet they can't keep up with the demand. Crazy and annoying.
It's weird that the stores in Europe and the US seem to have more stock... or maybe they're less busy?
Just been playing round with mine ! i find it absolutely stunning , coming from a 6 to a 7 + probably made all the difference to my opinion i really am enjoying using it. Funny thing, it actually does hiss at u hahaha, only done it when i updated my software and i don't seem to think its an issue, more just the power of the A10, its not really noticeable i cant why there is complaints! i was just fascinated it was true hahahaha. Camera is simply stunning , i mean look

Just for those guys who have a 4-10 October delivery and went into preparing for dispatch yesterday afternoon. I just chatted with Apple although I know it's all generic answers she said she would expect it to be be dispatched in the next couple of days. So I reckon it will be in the 4-10 window and not earlier. May have got my hopes up a tad yesterday to have it by Friday!

Just had an email from Very advising dispatch of a JB 7+ 256GB. Going to end up with 2! Gah.
Well that sucks!! Maybe there is hope I am with you guys then! Frustrating since JL have had stock yet Apple are dragging their feet!
Got my fiancé a JB + 256gb last night via JL and the lucky bugger can collect it tomorrow!

Seen in other threads people with the same timings as shown on my ups tracking. Their phones are destined for the US and comments there suggest there should be a change in the next few hours....
Does anyone have any deliveries scheduled for 18-31 October from Apple - I am curious to see if those in this group will receive early despatch notifications - any info would be most welcome - Cheers
