When reserving for Apple store collection it gives you the option of;

1) SIM free
2) PAYG
3) Monthly contract - new contract and upgrades

So looks like you can do contract upgrades at Apple stores unlike the last couple of years.

Reserved mine. 🙂

Anyone think the o2 etc PAYG prices will be exactly the same, except that they will be locked, and in place they will give you a bolt on with a 500mb per month data cap for 12 months?

This is what I see happening. No way will they be cheaper, as it would be a licence to buy a cheap one to jailbreak and unlock.

That's what I see.

I've reserved a SIM free 32GB for store pickup. As it's no obligation 😀.

However I'll be using my existing O2 contract (whether I get it transfered to a Microsim or cut down the current SIM is up for debate) so if O2 were selling them as PAYG handsets locked to O2 but for a good bit less than Apple's SIM-free handset I'll cancel my Apple reservation.

ok so anyone know how to get a micro sim now? I'm using mine with t mobile and when i called they didn't even know what a micro sim was!!

i've already ordered a sim cutter from cutmysim.com, so will cut my existing o2 simplicity sim... £20pm 600 mins, 1200 texts, unlimited data, free mms (well.. 1 mms = 4 sms from allowance).. can't go wrong with that!

Helppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!

So if I reserve a PAYGO iPhone, it will be cheaper than the SIM free ones?

 

[andybno1]

so these aren't payg? i'm confused. i'm considering buying via apple now but need to be sure this will work with my o2 sim.

the prices on apple's store are for unlocked devices not payg

 

[dalvin200]

I got my 16gb into my basket - entered card info etc and when I clicked Place Order it timed out 😡

 

[Nicholas.C]

I keep getting page not found when I go to order :-/

 

[bobbytallant]

they will still charge to unlock

I appreciate they will charge to unlock but if you buy it on your own network (for me o2) then there would be no need to unlock right?

Jailbreak/unlock could be a free option if required - but at a price of £450 for the PAYG o2 I would be tempted. Any more than £450 I will just by the unlocked version from Apple (which as an ebayer will certainly carry some saleability when it comes the time to saddle up).

Overall I am quite encouraged by these prices.

 

[soulghost]

I think some people just seen these prices and assumed they were the PAYG phones without realising

More like they thought this was it, and no option of a payandgo.

 

[MrTan]

The reservation allows you to change your plan when you pick up.

I've reserved a sim free so I can continue my existing contract, but I can change that if i chose to upgrade or PAYG works out cheaper.

I didn't see the option to chose PAYG or Sim free on the pre-order

 

[owen-b]

well.. 1 mms = 4 sms from allowance

You sure about that? When did you start your Simplicity?

 

[nednarm]

Helppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!

[MrSingh]

any chance o2's locked payg iP4's will be cheaper?

ps - bumper - £25!!! no way am i buying that! also, strange that even apple are not able to offer white phones on launch....

I had the same problem. It's charged my card yet when i look at my recent orders, nothing is listed 😡

 

[nwlondonlad]

You have said this a million times but people just don't get it. Its there on the Apple site in black and white. Save your breath mate 😎

 

[dalvin200]

You sure about that? When did you start your Simplicity?

ages ago... probably august / sept last year... before they changed to their new simplicity (ie, current ones) which if i wanted 600 mins, i;d be paying £5 more per month

 

[Aravintht]

that's an expensive dock!!!! lol..

call apple online asap!

They've placed a hold on the money on my card!!!

ringing hsbc right now to stop it!

 

[owen-b]

I keep getting page not found when I go to order :-/

Me too. I got all the way to the login bit and it froze up and forgot my order, and now I can't get in. Must be getting hammered!

 

[steveing64]

well tried to go in and remove the dock from my order in my account settings the order is not showing

 

[sandyjmacdonald]

Helppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!

I shouldn't laugh, but hehehehehe!

Thank goodness I noticed that I had 7 iPhones in my basket before I ordered.

My order seems to have gone through ok now (the extra one that was showing up in my order history has disappeared).

 

[CJM]

Helppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!

No dock for you! xD

yes they are unlocked. I imagine payg phones will be about £450, doubt it will be much cheaper than that.
