I have this as well but compared to sim free + full upfront cost/24 (and no unlocking hassle) its pretty much the same, so I prefer the flexibility of simfree 12 months contract and fully unlocked iphone froim day 1

How do I pre-order and join iPhone Upgrade Programme?
You will have 2 options, either as an existing member or new.
Existing Members
as an existing member you can check if you are eligible to upgrade and if so, go ahead and reserve.
New Members
You can reserve, if available, the phone of your choice
you will not have to pay or use a card during this process as it is a reservation for an instore appointment. Remember that acceptance onto IUP is subject to application and credit check etc.
the following are screen showing the order flow from the iPhone 11 launch.

please note the banner at the top where you can check upgrade eligibility for an existing member or reserve for a new IUP member

you can then choose the model

and then the store followed by the time (out of what is available)
then its a case of turning up, checking and taking the appropriate ID needed and going through the application!
All done, iPhone 11 Pro Silver 64Gb through Sky Mobile, done over the phone.
Makes sense, I’ve bought outright previously too.
However this is a great option for those who want to spread the cost as if you take handset price out it’s only £29 per month for unlimited everything WITH Spotify for 2 years.
Their SIM only deal with the above terms and 15% discount applied is still £30.
we have it in writing on this forum that you'd give me your Xs if you pre-ordered!...just managed to pre-order one too:

...must be loads of stock then as only just logged in!
Although it says IUP in the email - can you opt for iPhone Payments instead?
Had that last year but this year had no problems with Natwest.Natwest - We've noticed some unusual activity on your card and blocked a recent transaction............
