Yes but you can get a one month contact and then cancel which is the same as PAYG basically ... or is getting the contract a problem?
 
how long are people waiting for three to unlock there phone? I phoned about 1pm and mines still locked?

I have read on the net it can be done as quick as 2 hours
 
Do wonder if Apple have committed x % of stock in the stores to each carrier hence the SIM free OOS but not the contract.

My order put in on the 9th for 32GB White has now hipped and should be here Tuesday. Bit odd that some people on hee seem to have ordered later and theirs have already shipped...
 
Does anyone know when the average joe will be able to get a sim free in store without refreshing a freaking page every night at 9pm? This contract only priority is really peeing me off.

okie dokei! i didnt know thhat!! moreover the rep also said that they cant unlock the fone as well!! anyways i m waiting for my Apple delivery! i hope my 4S delivers before 29th:/
 
You need to go to a three store not an apple one.
As I said, I bought mine in the Covent Garden Apple Store about 13.30 today. Was odd though, the clerk sort of took me to one side and spoke in hushed tones. Can't imagine he was doing something he wasn't supposed to, but with the PAYG Three SIM I walked out with an unlocked iPhone 4S 32GB Black.
 
Anybody else order on the 14th? What are your delivery dates?

My delivery date is still 24th - 31st, was kind of hoping it to be moved forward by now to guarantee delivery next week.

Well, i got a32gb black payg from the 3 shop in the metrocentre without any problem so clearly each shop has their own rules. I dealt with a very nice chap called stephen and he said he will sell to anybody as he gets commission regardless!

I was told that unlocking would be no problem, I guess it depends who you speak to.
 
Feel like putting my middle finger up to apple -_- called stratford today about the issue last night and the guy assured me that I'd be able to reserve from them tonight he said they'd have stock...
 
Newcastle stores have just black phones. I think it is just the phones they didn't sell on contract they are putting up for reservation.
 
Got one in Brent Cross, 16gig black reserved. :D Wanted one for my girl :( being the genius she is reserved one in Glasgow by mistake haha
