i'm almost certain you will be able to pop into your network providers store on launch day and get a Micro-Sim.

Sim changes take a matter of minutes, the only challenge will be migrating contacts if you are old fashioned and save them on the sim :D

If you use Google Contacts or MobileMe then you will have no problems :D
 
Which contract are you looking at? Might you be better off with one of the unlimited text deals and sacrificing some minutes?
currently on regular dolphin 25 paying £5 extra for 500mb data I barely make calls I do txt a fair bit so was lookin at either O2 or voda (before the new tariffs were announced) still might go with O2 depending on vodafone's pricings and O2 handset pricings too
 
For those of you who picked up at store for the 3GS, are the queues horrendous?

I was hoping to rock up at opening time and be on my way in a matter of minutes with an unlocked version (i'll activate myself later) - what's the chances of that happening?

Any tips to avoid being stuck queueing? :)

I think the demand for iP4 will huge compared to the 3gs.
I managed to pick up a paygo 32gb at 7pm on launch day last year.
 
Have just been into my local O2 store. I asked if they were getting stock and if so how many. I was told that they were getting stock, they have no idea how many and that they are expecting a queue.
I asked if they had any prices of the handsets and was told no.

Wish someone at O2 would announce something.

Link to order one please :)
 
If anyone is on Open o2 (Company discount), I rang up my local o2 shop and they said they won't be offering it :O

Anyone got more hopeful news on this?
 
there is no link, i just rung them up at 1pm uk time and i was the first person she dealt with about sending me one....because they just heard the news themselves.

Oh sucks :( thought i could order one online like O2.
 
wasn't being forum police it was and is a valid question...... did you feel left out cause no1 commented on you getting a micro-sim?

wow...you really are a nipple aren't u....no understanding of the sentence "wanting to help people who are worried"

and you say I'm a "nipple" :rolleyes: did you not even get my point? you had already posted u were gettin a micro-sim but felt the need to not only repeat yourself in all caps but in bright red font..... just seemed like u were after attention ;)
 
Victoria Square, Belfast.

Should I be concerned, that they may not have stock? :eek:

I'm working from home that day and whilst i could nip down around lunch time, I'd rather get in and out before the shoppers arrive :(

I'll also be picking up from Belfast Victoria Square, I might get there for about slightly after 7am

I don't think you can order one from O2 that way. If you've registered interest in buying the iPhone when it's launched, O2 says it might send you one before the 24th so that you're good to go but there's no guarantee.
