During the transaction I did see him debit my account on the till for £5.11, but he then immediately credited it back. I wasn't fussed either way, I was just happy to get it all sorted after a couple of failed attempts at the same store previously.
Got a tip for us?

I think the confusion with Three's £5.11 charge is that it's the standard replacement SIM charge. I think for nano-SIM upgrades theyre meant to put a discount on to refund it (hence free). This showed up on my receipt. So if they're tryin to charge you then ask if there's a refund option.
Picked up my '3' Nano mid afternoon yesterday from a local 3 Store at no cost, by the evening it was activated and is working perfectly in my iPhone 4.
To think just a few years ago 3 were seen as a laughing stock - I would never have touched their network. Now, they seem like the only network who are actually showing innovation.

Are the 3 nano sims from the store activated at the moment? I ordered a 3 nano sim online and it arrived today, tried to register it on the website and told me the phone number was invalid. When I called them they said they had not added this one to the system yet because it wouldn't be useable until the iPhone5 was out. When I pointed out it was on a sim only contract and no phone was involved they said ahhhhh and put me on hold.
Apparently they didn't think of that so they are going to add them on the system Monday morning.... well mine at least.
Don't see what they were trying to achieve by not registering them already! guess I will have to wait until next week to transfer my number.
Gonna pop into an o2 store today to see if they have any in stock... if not ill collect it thursday...
It really is. Only Three seem to be on the ball.
Ill probably end up cutting down my Micro-sim
@ThreeUK on Twitter has been saying that PAYG nano-SIMs will be available in store from next Tuesday (18th).
That's good news if we get it atleast Friday. Pls let us know if there is any updates and I'll do the same. I'm a Tmobile SIMO customer and my iphone5 is coming directly from Apple. Don't want an expensive brick from friday without nano-sim.
Just called 191 and some Irish lass is sending me a nanosim for Monday which I can activate through the website.
Give them a buzz maybe? Perhaps the live chat assistants have been told to parrot a line.
Went in into both Three stores in Plymouth and they both have nano sims in stock. I wanted to buy one just for the nano to micro adapter but was told by both stores they're only available for Three pay monthly customers at the moment due to low stock, damn!
Sorry if covered before, but O2 are now tweeting that sims can be collected from stores "just before launch".
Just walked into the Three store in Manchester, got a replacement nano SIM with adapters free of charge!
O2 said call back on Monday and they 'should' be able to send one in the post. Also called the O2 store in Kingston and they said they'll have some on Monday.
They people on O2 online chat thing are useless; they all say 'wait till 21st', so don't bother asking on there, you just end up feeling wound up!

Yes, mine was activated in store, or registered at least, my old sim deactivated about 6 hours later last night and I swapped them over and now i'm using the nano sim in my iPhone4 perfectly.
Another happy 3 customer here.
Picked up my nano sim from the Slough store this afternoon (free). It is now live in my 4S!
I've also swapped out my Three Micro SIM for a Nano SIM. The number had been transferred by the end of yesterday evening. I am now running on a Nano SIM in my 4S using the adapter kit supplied by Three.
The store staff said the request was submitted at the time and can take up to 24 hours to process so I was happy with that evening. It doesn't look like it has stopped working, but I lost 3G and couldn't make any calls so I knew it had happened, but only because I was trying to use my phone. It didn't say 'No Service' like I was expecting.
The only downside was that they charged me for it, so have asked the Three twitter account how I get a refund.
