The Orange online order situation sounds really poor, cant believe they are pulling this s*** on customers still.
Ordered one from them yesterday morning as it showed stock so I thought worth a try. Picked saturday delivery as well.
Now I wonder how many other people did the same and just how many will get their order on the date stated on the confirmation.
To anyone who got a phone from Orange recently, at what time of day did the status change to dispatched?

I'm in the same position as you guys.
Ordered a 32gb on the 24th and have been lied to several times by customer services in regards to when it will arrive.
They even had 32gb in stock on their site yesterday, with next day delivery available, yet they haven't sent ours out yet!!!
I get the feeling they don't care now that they've got our money.
A little pee'd off that people who have ordered this week got theirs before us, but congrats to them I guess! :jealous:
The worse decision I made was ordering through orange instead of vodafone on the 24th...............I would of had it last friday!
Were all the people that managed to get an upgrade from O2 today on tariffs of > £35 per month?
I'm on £35 per month, and contract ran out in January, but they wouldn't do anything for me (except switch me to a cheaper tariff). Been with them since the first iPhone in November 2007...
I'm on the Apple Regents St store reserve/priority list since Monday, but I'm impatient...

I was on 35 p/month since first iphone with 3g upgrade, on 25 p/month since feb and upgraded today. Still no tracking number tho!
Yeah, read a lot of bad posts re ordering from Orange but also read some people did get lucky and got one quickly so did it anyway.
However if my order does not show as dispatch by say 4pm tomorrow will ring up and cancel the order, if I can get thru that is
then just sit back and wait if the faults get fixed or the white one comes out (thats way off I reckon, august all least!) and is fault free, lol?
Have to say, I think we are all mad!
Every day now another fault comes out about ip4, todays being yellowing of pics taken with the rear camera due to white balance issues, yet here we all are still hoping to get one asap and that ours will be a good one! lol well you never know huh.

He's not, i've had £499 taken from my account since i ordered it about 5 days ago...won't ship till July 16th..bit peeved personally..it's a 'preorder' after all.
My order status has been "Order Being Readied For Dispatch" for a week now.......
Same here, i keep on checking just hoping its going to change to 'Dispatched'.
I live in hope!.
Im sure Orange must know what a serious situation they have with these web orders, hopefully stock will be arriving any day now and they will all get sent out.

Orange Web Orders
Orange online is allowing orders now for both 16gb and 32gb on contract.
Cant believe this is happening when they havent even sent out back orders from the 24th yet!.

If this is a trick just to make there sales figures look good they are in big trouble.
They are breaking several parts of the online trading standards guidelines.
Showing an item is in stock when it is not, giving a dispatch date then not meeting it due to no stock (same as first but diff angle), taking payment before goods are dispatched etc. Even taking new orders without filling the earlier ones is a no no.
Oh boy you guys should complain to trading standards, I believe you can do it online for website orders!

did u get an email saying 'ur order will be dispatched shortly' before the dispatch email.
Got one, then rang um up when i didnt get a tracking number, jst got another email saying 'ur order will be dispatched shortly'.
No idea whats going on ne more!
mmmm I ordered it at 1:11 on June 15 and received it at around 11 on june 24th, I think it depends where you live compared to the courier
I just got a call from Apple Technical Senior Advisor for the iPhone. She basically said that the engineers said this was typical behaviour for the handset, and part of the design as you are covering the antenna. She said that if you are having problems, a case will help it out, confirming what we all know. Also, to try and move your fingers around. Shame.
I've got a Bumper on the way, so that will help out if I accidentally move my finger while on a call.
dyou get that free?
I would go with vodafone info as the networks always know best, carphone warehouse and phones4u are just retards tbh
How long it usually takes for the order to go from "Prepared for Shipment" to shipped?
I know its a silly question but I can't wait.
mmm normally takes a couple of days
Rang orange again, the guy I talked to was clueless and said all he could do was send an email to the sales team to push my order forward (forward???!!! I ordered at 3am on the 24th )
I asked for a delivery date, but he said it would be sometime next week. I asked why they'd lied to me 3 times about the delivery date........no answer. I asked why they're saying they've got stock on their website, he said because they're getting some iphones on monday.
So I basically told him to cancel the order and that I want the £220 returned to my bank account.........he said it'll take 24hrs to do and mumbled alot......
***** Orange, I don't care that I won't get an iphone for a couple weeks now, I'd rather wait than give my money to bunch of lying theives
