Just phoned EE up a while ago and upgraded my sim to £20 for 8GB, unlimited texts and calls with BT Sport and Apple Music free for 6 months.


Now just need to decide whether to get my phone from Apple Upgrade or Very.
 
Getting a bit annoying now, a lot of iPhone Plus 128 GB orders seem to be getting earlier dispatch dates, mine is still stuck!

Same :/ usually if I had got my order in as early as I did today I'd have been garunteed a launch day delivery but I'm still stuck at 27th
 
Sons iPhone 7+ 128GB Jet Black ordered first thing, due 23-30 Sep.

Other sons 7 128GB Matt Black due 16-Sep.
Likewise my wife's 7 128GB Rose Gold.
Likewise my own 7+ 128GB Silver.

Sea Blue leather covers for both 7 and 7+ due 23-Sep, so will follow...
Expensive day, Ian!
 
Same with mine and without fail my card issuer always blocks any large transaction in their so called random anti-fraud checks.
Natwest used to do that to me all the time and it wasn't even for high value transactions. If I'd made about 5 card transactions in a single day the 6th one would be declined even though I had the funds in my account to pay. When I would call them to complain they would try and blame it on the shop and say it's a problem with the vendor there were no issues on our side.
 
Something I know for sure, if the 6-8 day dispatch orders do ship early, as in soon enough to make it for launch day, then this thread will grow in size by 100 pages a second as the dispatch emails come in :D
 
First off don't be rude and tell me to "listen"
£1000 bank balance
available funds £1000
i just purchased an item for £900
bank balance £1000
available funds £100
i can now only spend £100 my bank will not let me go any further because £900 has been "taken" out of my account.
How hard can it be to understand! The payment has already been processed

Cx is technically correct. They have a hold for the 900' but is hasn't been officially taken

The impact may be the same , but if that order is cancelled then the hold will be realeased and there never be any sign or proof on any of your bank statements.
 
Looks like in the US they have some matte black plus 128 models preparing already!
 
Mine is still stuck at early October. Matt black 7+ 128GB.

I'm still hoping that my "6-8 working days'' means that next Friday is the 6th working day and they might arrive on release day.

Shoutout to the 'still Sep 27-29 and haven't been bumped up a week but still refresh the order page every 4 minutes' crew :cool:
Holla right back atcha' bro... :p
[doublepost=1473456938][/doublepost]I'm really pleased that I went for the normal black.

I think of it as… the phone Batman would have! :D
 
Done what I normally do.
Wondered into EE.
Sorted out my deal, even got a option to upgrade in 12 months

So ordered a 128 7Plus in matte grey.
Unfortunately due to work won't be picking it up until 8pm

I think that could be the case, Apple will try their best, and they have done this before, saying 2-3 weeks and then getting it here on launch, so 6-8 days is nothing ;)
