I'd be concerned about the protector lifting with the swipe motion from the bottom of the X that will happen every time you use the phone...
Got a tip for us?

So, I went to order the Belkin screen protector to local store (so they can apply it) and it said expected delivery on Thursday. Placed the order and it states: Pickup: Ships to store. Available today
Any idea how long stores hold on to items before releasing them back into stock?
Thanks

Officially EE own the handset for the first 6 months and do not allow the phone to be sold on during that time.
If the phone is detected running a different sim EE put a lock on the phone and from what I have read it then cannot be undone.
That is a lot of money to lose for the buyer if EE enforce this.
I know this is in the T&C's but I recently used a handset that belonged to the other number on my account and they didnt do anything. Yes it is the same account name, but I guess we will never know.
There was a guy earlier saying he will sell his iPhone 8 to o2 - what happens then?

More money lost when you take out ebay's cut.

No idea when it comes to recycling and I guess because no sim will be put in that it never gets triggered by EE as locked?
I have seen people on the EE forums getting their handset locked which they brought on eBay and I think EE are clever enough to know the SIM card you used is the same account holder so it’s all good.
Either way though if the handset did get locked by EE where does that leave the buyer?
There were some ebay sales last Friday which would have been a pretty decent profit for the seller. As typically happens, I think a few other people have seen these and news stories about them and decided to jump on the bandwagon.
I wonder how many of them will now try to back out of the sale. I assume you don't get the ebay fees back if you do that?

It’s good to see this happening in my opinion the more scalpers who make a loss the less likely they are to continue doing it,

I think eBay have enforced a rule that if there is at least one bid then you cannot cancel the auction.
I was bidding on these for the fun of it, won 3 different auction, the seller lost money each time and each time i would get a response after saying that they're supplier cannot fulfill the order anymore or a variation of this.
If you buy it for in-store pickup and it is listed as available today, you will be charged for it straight away and it will be held for at least a couple of weeks before being cancelled and refunded.
Good opportunity to leave some negative feedback!
For the record, and I dont know how widely enforced it is or what it takes for EE to actually trigger this, but I do know someone which this exact thing happened, however it was within a family.
New phone on contract given to him by another family member, it got locked dead, family member had something happen to his account, though I don't know what - it wasn't good though.

R don't do it, they do enforce this relatively new rule it seems

I seem to remember this has been around since 2015 or so.
you're right sorry, I was getting my dates wrong. But they enforce it, that's the key point here
So who'd lose out more the buyer or seller in this case? I always get the ebay rules mixed up for who they side on ie the buyer or the seller.
Well I've been screwed over both ways by eBay so who knows. You'd hope the seller would lose out more but I dont know
Sure this has been asked already. But in previous years if an individual fails to pickup their iPhone on their given slot - there use to be an inventory screen we the public could access saying an iPhone was then available to buy in store. Does such a thing still exist? I think this was like iPhone 6 era I last used this...
Happened to me yesterday too at work on Chrome. Fine on the app, fine on mobile Safari, fine at home. Odd glitch but had me worried too!
not quite in that sense.. there will be the usual phone reservation option to go through where stock gets updated when available... that usually starts at 6am each morning and will again open from the 4th.

Well the T&C’s don’t actually state what will happen.
You may get equipment from us for free or for an upfront cost when You take out a Price Plan, or You may be able to take out a Finance agreement to purchase Equipment from Us. Unless We tell You otherwise We will own any Equipment provided to You by Us for the first six months of the Minimum Term (see point 10.1). If You take out a Price Plan via a third party who is not EE and get Equipment from that third party when You take out the Price Plan, that third party may own any Equipment provided to You by them for the first six months of the Minimum Term (see point 10.2). During this time You will be required to take all reasonable care with the Equipment and keep it in good condition as if You owned it (see point 10.3.2). During that 6 month time period You must not give or sell the Equipment to anyone else without our prior written consent (see point 10.3.1). We will collect network data and Equipment details (using software installed on the Equipment) in order to Disable the Equipment in certain instances of fraud or non-payment occurring in the first 6 months (see points 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3). If You get Equipment from Us under a Finance agreement, You will own the Equipment from the moment of purchase (see point 10.1). You will have to enter into a separate Finance agreement and other terms will also apply to You.
One argument could be they haven’t told the customer?
Thank you. I am one of those people with a delivery date in that area. The OP you were replying to was utter nonsense.
Spigen case arrived, can’t believe how much smaller it feels in the hand and pocket compared to the plus!
Same case I got may get another one though so the top and bottom are also protected.
