The U.K. iPhone 4 Thread

Sim Cutting should be fine providing you get the iPhone unlocked. Although during those 6 weeks, if you have time - visit an O2 shop and they will transfer it to a Microsim for you.

I don't know if O2 are forcing PAYG customers onto the new tariffs or not but you'll definitely be able to cut your sim down if you take care - it'll be a fair bit easier for you since you'll already have an AT&T microsim to size up as a template.

However, I thought all US phones were sold locked to AT&T and that they're a pain in the backside to unlock unless they're jailbreaked and a special unlock tool is out? Neither of which is currently possible with iOS 4 or iPhone 4 as far as I know. Or are you just planning on waiting a month or two in hope that they'll be cracked?

I don't leave until the 2nd, so I'm hoping that there is a jailbreak and unlock out by then.

Possibly but when I have ordered anything from Apple it has always left Ireland the day before so that is what I am basing my iPhone 4 order on too.

Apple won't mess up they more than likely have all the phones either in Ireland to be shipped out for pre-orders or within the Apple stores for collection.

The ones for France are coming from Holland so I wouldn't worry either. They will probably ship tomorrow. What operator are you using and have you managed to get your hands on a micro sim yet?
 
Does anyone know if cutting a UK '3' sim down to micro sim size will work? I can't get one out of them and want to use my new phone straight away :)

The only reason I ask is that the chip part of the sim looks slightly narrower than the diagrams online...

Cheers

(PS - mine hasn't shipped yet either, ordered @ 8:15 on the 15th)

Should be no problem, just make sure you cut it down to the right size.

It is nice for some people to get delivery early, but it kind of pisses me off because it's nice to join in on the hype at the same time :/

There is no guarantee that the guys in the US will get their's a day early and too be honest even if it happens 1 day isn't going to kill you :p

yes there almost certainly in Ireland where the Headquarters of Apple's EMEA shipping is.

Because;

  1. Apple ships things from the UK from Holyhill Business Park, Cork, Ireland
  2. They only have to overnight them to us on the morning of the 23rd (if like the yanks) or 24th if not
  3. Finally, im only guessing - but shipping ~200,000 iphones from China in 2 days? Not even Apple is that godly

I doubt they'll do it 24th morning, thats a bit late... my guess is either later today or early tomorrow. We should hopefully see a change in order status by this evening!

i meant for when we receive them on the 23rd/24th, not when they are shipped :D but we'll get them either way: steve will make sure :)
