They are, and unless you know from experience they have a good signal in your area, don’t believe a damn thing they say. According to EE and their coverage map, I’m slap bang in the middle of their best available coverage. Except, for the past two years, I’ve had no data reception at home, and only get calls in one spot of the entire house.
Ultimately they decided that it was the building material of my house which is preventing the signal penetrating. Fair enough, except, I just picked up a Three payg sim to trial their network and I get an amazing 5G signal in every room of the house. Bye, bye EE…

… Oh, if you’re wondering why I stayed beyond the initial 14 days, they consistently told me that work was being performed in my area, and that as soon as it was finished, the signal would be returned to normal.
Like a fool, I believed them (as it’s supposed to be a good area according to the coverage map, not a gap, or drop in service quality in it for many dozens of miles).
Ugh.. that’s better than 3 in London, that service is just non existent
 
Finally time to settle down.

Its been a busy day so far. Birthday Brunch, Cutting Cakes, Ringing Family, School Run and in between getting pre orders sorted.

I ordered following from EE:

iPhone 14 Pro 256 GB Deep Purple 125GB £58.10 / month

iPhone 14 Pro 256 GB Space Black 100GB £53.90 / month

Missed my DPD delivery as i was out lol.

I hope you all got what you wanted.
How’d you get those prices out of EE? 125gb for me is showing at £91
 
I have a saved MM order for 12 Pro 256 GB at £555.00 .

If some one wants it i can share the logins and you can add your details etc.

Obviously its a matter of trust so up to the individual member.
 
For those that did on Apple finance for launch day pickup - are your ordered still showing as 'Order Placed' or 'Processing'?? (Mine is former, whereas AirPods order (albeit for delivery) shows as processing).

Thanks!

that's why I left three to go to ee... at the time Three were great at home in my local area (kent/London border) but terrible in the city... made the commute unbearable.

much better now on ee, though the signal on the train line into London Bridge via grove park can be patchy at best!

annoyingly, I don't get great reception in the house with EE.... looking on the coverage checker, their service has a black spot typically over the property!

EE’s pretty good where I live, I have two lines: 1 for the phone another for my backup internet. Generally the speeds are good enough, but with 1Gb symmetric, I rarely use it at home.

At the same time, I don’t want to upgrade as I lose my grandfathered benefits
 
Now that the rush is over, I am 100% convinced some on here will have 'buyers remorse' over the weekend at spending thousands (some orders I have seen on here are OVER £2K o_O ) on a mobile phone..!!!

Not at all,

I am very excited for this phone.

one of the reason I wanted to get one on launch is because I'm going to L.A in 3 weeks time and I am very much looking forward to trying out the new cameras while I'm there. I wanted to get a pre order in for launch day as I didn't want to risk delivery dates slipping.

I am moving away from Vodafone which is very good where I live but goes to sh"t when I commute to London or even in my local town centre.

30 day sim now so can move freely now to other providers if I need to.

Wifi calling is perfect when you have reception issues at home.

I had the money taken for the phone straight away but money not taken for Watch yet 🤔
 
Preordered through CPW for deliver on launch day and got a message from my bank a couple hours later saying they blocked the payment. Now CWP saying delivery on 5 October and I’m away on holiday. Nightmare!
