N. Ireland iPhone 5 Thread

[stephens1p1]

same

Have no idea about Syncreon...

Those who have theirs delivered - where you getting them delivered too? Belfast? I'm in outer East Belfast, would love to know if anyone from around there has had anything delivered?!

Im same as you mate, East Belfast, syncreon is my carrier, apparently according to their track and trace website, my phone is still in Hinkley, England


kind of getting pissed of with the whole thing

Best of luck to everyone back in NI, hope you all get your new iPhones sorted today!

I lined up for 5 hours at the Belfast Apple store for the iPhone 4 launch in 2010 then two weeks later I emigrated to Canada, so it is one of my 'last memories' from NI. Reading this thread and seeing everyone posting about their delivery scans from "Newtonabbey".... Ah the memories, I've had a few of those in my time!

Don't panic - they are out for delivery. Here's what to do:
Go to Apple site, tracking and copy the tracking number

Go here
https://www.ukmail.com/
Paste in that number starting with a 8 into the Reference box


Click More Info - you should see it's out for delivery.

I'm in the Four Winds and waiting patiently for mine - keep jumping up everytime I hear a car!

Waiting patiently im ballymena area and beginning to lose hope..

Ups tracker still sayin the same thing

So much fr pre order

 

[joesploggs]

And just like that mine has arrived. He also gave me one for the guy across the way who isn't it!
The van says "Nightline Delivers" on it.

Ignore the UPS tracker - if it says "Destination Scan: Newtownabbey" at 6:39a.m., chances are that it's actually out for delivery, and you'll see it update once you've signed for it. Bizarre, but true.

My UPS order said it was in Newtownabbey and being delivered Monday. It was delivered about 30 mins ago.

Ring UPS and they will give you up to date tracking details and when it will be delivered. The UPS website is not being updated due to volume of IPhone's they are trying to deliver.

Keeping my fingers crossed..

Do you have a number for them? They attempted to deliver but obviously I wasn't there!

Says they will attempt 2nd delivery on Monday but I'd like to get it after work - what you reckon?

It's all over MacRumors. Black models either having marks on them from new or making within a couple of hours. Don't know if I should open mine or return it for a white (which I don't really want).

 

[morty192]

Flip I'll have to have a read about that!

Guessing it's just the ones from 3 or should I be worried :/

No I'm not saying that any from Three are like that. Just that I got one from Three and I have not opened it yet.

 

[timinireland]

Well its now 17:10 and still no iPhone for me.. UPS site been stuck on IN TRANSIT since 6:39am this morning, Apple tracking however been reporting that its 'out for delivery'

Its not like im in the sticks or anything, Portadown/Craigavon BT63 for crying out loud!

Yes i know UPS deliver up to 18:00 but i really can't see me being a last minute delivery... Here is looking at Monday I suppose..

Ah right right, get ya now .. I've been debating the same thing myself, but I'll prob get a case anyway cos I can be a bit clumsy .. I'll maybe see what the white ones are like in the apple store .. but I didn't like the way the back of the white one was ... and I have a black iPad too so thought I'd stick to the same colour

Which network?

I was just wondering which network people from Northern Ireland are using.

I'm currently with O2 and the data speed is just awful. I know 3 and Orange signal isn't great when out of the city centre (I'm based in Lisburn/Hillsborough), so which network are people using and having no bother with?

I have used the coverage checker on a few websites but honestly, not sure if I trust it.
