Just had someone prank call me trying to interest me in buying the new iPhone 4. Thought it was rather hilarious so I'll share it with you seeing as it's an iPhone 4 related forum ;)

I had someone call me this afternoon as well and now I'm worried it might be a scam. Only the person told me that he was calling concerning a recent failed online order which was true. I asked for proof that he was an O2 CS and he said he would send me two messages that should read 02-alert in the inbox and within seconds I got the messages, exactly as he said. Also in the background I could hear other voices of CS talking to people about various problems, I even heard the iphone 4 come up alot.
Was it a scam? I'm thinking I should get my credit card cancelled.
 
Kinda anti-climactic. Its shipping just as expected with no real surprises. (I know i'm weird)

Quick question how do i go about swapping a PAYG number on to a microsim, is it even possible?

I have a Pay Monthly and an iPad microsim on hand
 
Interesting find on the invoice!
Might we wishful thinking...but just maybe!

Oh, no, it was definitely just a prank call against me. If you've had messages to prove their identity that say "O2 alert" then that's obviously from O2. Mine was definitely a hoax seeing as it's someone that sounds like he's from round here, calling up obviously NOT from a call centre, on a withheld number, AT 1AM(!!!), and then saying he'll prove he's from O2....by hanging up and calling back a few minutes later STILL WITHHELD and it's the same bloody guy. Don't worry mate, yours deffo is legit. I just thought I'd share mine cos it was funny.
 
*phew*
I had my breath held until you replied, which I appreciate btw, thanks alot. This whole wait for the new iPhone has been quite an adventure but it's almost over and all the reviews show it'll be worth it.

Cheers.
 
For those who has the phone shipped, can I ask has Apple got money out of your account yet? and has the money always been on hold in the account since the day you place the pre-order?

The money hasn't left my available balance yet. It was put on hold for a day or two after I preordered, but got returned after that. I'm with HSBC
 
Ordered 11am BST.

Still showing Prepared for Shipment on US site and Not Yet Shipped on UK.

Those with a due date of 23rd, I'd say its a pretty good sign it's coming tomorrow :D

Might have spoken too soon! The 'order shipped' email states: "We expect your order to be delivered to your shipping address on or before 24.06.2010."

Mine finally went to Prepared for Shipment after midnight (on US site), but Not yet shipped on UK site. But the delivery date is strangely 25th June - 28th June. What's going on there!!!!! I pre-ordered 15th June at 11am! :(
