You will have to plug the phone in to itunes before you can do anything with it. Even if you bought a sim free one it will need to be activated. Then simply insert your MS and it will work.

Thanks for that. Very much appreciated.
 
I now have tracking info! On track for a 24th ship.

From Tamworth to MK.


TAMWORTH, GB 23/06/2010 19:56 DEPARTURE SCAN
 
My UPS tracking finally updated, and has left me a bit confused.

I live in Plymouth, and my handset has been scanned into a depot in Tamworth, bit of a trek for the courier to come just to deliver my phone! :confused:
 
Just called CPW just now on 0870 087 0870

Spoke to a guy called Matt and he confirmed my order, processed at 1800 today.

He gave me the transaction number and confirmed the DHL tracking number.

The DHL tracking number is not yet live but this will be due to the consignment not being data entered yet at DHL side.
 
Just got a text on my upgraded number from CPW giving me the DHL tracking number - so I guess anyone who preordered should get one too if it's been shipped :)
 
How does one purchase from Tesco Mobile? Tariffs seem very nice :D

Via the website (tescomobileiphone.com), telesales (0800 433 4994), or, if you get there early enough tomorrow morning, in your nearest Tesco store that has a Phone Shop inside it (that's mostly Tesco Extra stores). The website and telesales orders and stores don't start selling until 9am tomorrow though.
 
No, it shows the box was unopened when you took the photograph. What happened to it between taking the photo and posting is anyones guess. More over shrink wrapping packages is a trivial exercise and something could be opened and re-sealed without a problem.

No way this photo would help you in a dispute.

good point, but when i sold my an unwanted nokia n91 upgrade about 2 years ago and buyer said it had scratches on the screen and it was my fault and i had to pay him back buy luckily i got my phone back, and when i asked ebay what could i do to prove it next time if it ever happens again they said to take a picture of the serial number and box unopened along with time and date, which should be on or after when you recieved payment of the phone. so im only going buy what ebay told me :)

What options did you use to speak to someone that can look orders up? Every one I use says they're closed.

Thanks, is there a way to check what stores have the mobile/extra using an online checker?

EDIT: Don't Worry, I've found it :D My Local store has this phone store so I might check it out.
 
Hi, I'm new but have been avidly reading for a bit.

I was planning on queuing at my O2 store from midnight to get a 32gb iPhone 4. However, CPW called me this afternoon and despite some hesitation I ordered one to be delivered for tomorrow. I asked a a dozen times to make sure it was definite that I'd be receiving it tomorrow, otherwise I would be queuing!! She assured me it was fine.

I came on here and was confronted with the news that CPW were cancelling orders. I literally went into a panic. Tried calling a bunch of CPW numbers till I found one line that was still open. Spoke to a nice guy who confirmed that my order has definitely been placed and I will get it tomorrow. Unlike some previous posts I wasn't given a tracking number for DHL but I did tell them my email again in the hope something would be mailed to me. Have ordered from CPW before (3G iPhone) and I didn't get a tracking number or anything but sure enough, my phone arrived the next day. I'm praying this happens again. I know CPW is a bit dodgy sometimes but I've got to have faith (or I'll go *more* insane).

I got the txt to a second ago. Also just checked my02 and my contract there has been updated to show the new iPhone tariff and unlimited txts. Maybe worth checking if your not sure the CW upgrades gone through? (They can't upgrade everyone then cancel them? or maybe they can?)
 
I've been on this site pretty much all day now. I need to go do something else, I'm mentally drained. I'll be back tomorrow after I receive my ip4. Later on guys.
 
Hey people
I just checked my TNT tracking, and it was at "Nuneaton" at 12:13 today, just checked it now and its now at the "Northampton Hub" at 20:04...
Anybody who has TNT delivering theirs also got the same location and their delivery status as "Shipment In Transit" ?
Just wanted to know, as there are a lot of people with UPS delivery, seen not many TNT deliveries goin on...
:D So excited!!
 
What do I need to being with me for a sim-free phone? Just email address or printed email?

I ordered using my dad's Apple ID, does this mean he will have to pick it up, or can I do it myself?

I spoke to a guy at Apple Trafford about this.

He told me for sim free it's just you and your payment that is needed. I will just take a bank statement and my driving license just in case.

It'll be sent from Tamworth to your local depot overnight and the courier will take it from there...
 
So looks like those who were promised white iPhones from Orange and Phones4U tomorrow are going to be disappointed. None 'til late July apparently.

thats the central base, overnight it will go to a 'subsidiary' base somewhere near you (maybe with other peoples phones) and then it will come to you tomorrow morning :)
 
I don't understand why my order would have been cancelled if they called me before others who have already got tracking details. :( Wish I could speak to someone at CPW somehow.

Edit: Maybe it's because I was 'cheap' at went for the £40 per month option on both mine and my fiancée's orders.
 
Quick question....

I like many others will be picking up a reservation on the way into work tomorrow. Mine is a SIM-Free one.

Do I need to bring my laptop with me to work to activate it? As having a brand new iPhone sat on my desk saying "connect to iTunes" all day will be soooo annoying!
 
Fair enough. Every little helps, as they say ;)
