I ordered my iPhone 4S online on October 14th and my delivery estimate was 24-31. I did got tired of waiting and I went to local Three store yesterday to see if they have any iPhones as PAYG basis. Well they had! Not 16GB models but 32 and 64gb models in black. So I instantly bought one and canceled my online order. Even though my new iPhone is locked to Three they told me that I can easily unlock it for 15 pounds when ever I want. But since my plan was to go with this one deal Three has, I don't have to unlock it now. I paid about 715 pounds for 64GB model and it came with a £15 deal which give me "All you can eat data, 3000texts, 300mins" for next 30 days...

So if you don't wanna wait go and check you local Three store! This week I also went to Apple store at Regent Street and they had iPhones in stock but only with contracts... So there are ways to get your phone right now if you really want it.;)

i went to the three store and they said they dont give the fones on PAYG basis!! u need to sign a contract!!

You need to try a different 3 store then, loads of people on here have walked into a 3 store and walked out with a payg iphone 4s. See my previous messages, the metrocentre, gateshead 3 store is happy to sell on payg status.

So is the one at Durham city centre as well ^^
 
Anyone still waiting for their '3' phone to be unlocked? Purchased and unlocked a 4S yesterday and still waiting for it to be unlocked! When activating with a different network sim, it just asks to add a compatible sim-card! :(

Same situation here. I read that unlocks won't happen over weekend as apple don't do weekends, so I'm expecting unlock to happen on monday, should get a text message to confirm.

Meantime, been testing out the 3 network and its been good, the 3g download speed has been good - usually get 3mb
 
when you use the apple app on the iphone, at what point do you refresh? Or do you just leave it on the select phone screen until one appears?

Around about 9 click on reserve to see and click cancel then click reserve again to refresh.

Have to agree. 3 has been considerably better than O2 for me. Getting 3G coverage at home where I normally only get edge.
 
saw loads at stratford city. accidently reserved like 4 but firefox started to lag a lot ended up with none...
 
Around 5 minutes ago. Honestly, at 9pm nothing was available. Pretty strange.

Depends how good the different stores are at uploading their stock. I'd have thought it was automatic that they would know their stock at the beginning of the day and the number sold, but maybe not.
