UK iPhone 4S thread.

Ah that kind of sucks. The letter seems kind of weird though, especially as it can easily be faked. I'll see within the next few days, will just ring them up and see what they can do or just get my ass down there on Friday or the weekend.

Thanks guys. :)

You could just reserve in the name of the person who is collecting! :)

they said the only thing that could be done would be if the person did a signed letter saying who was picking it up on their behalf.

they said bu*****h - I reserved it through my girlfriend iPhone so, with her account and name on the reservation letter. when they asked me an Id I showed them with my mbp the apple web page where they tell you what you need to bring with you to get an iPhone and nowhere is it written to bring with you an id. Their fault, I got the iPhone :D

Well that's what happened today and they only offered the letter suggestion after the guy started to get very agitated.

Yes it does say on the site to bring ID, look on http://www.apple.com/uk/retail/iPhone and under the section where it says 'what you need to know when buying the iPhone' it says 'For all carriers you must bring the following' and it lists driving licence or passport, recent utility bill, bank statement or building society statement.

That's only for contract I think. Doesn't matter as much with sim free.

nope, he was getting it sim free, they said that they could do it for him on contract, but he said they wanted it sim free, he was arguing that why should he need ID for sim free. they said it was the policy at the moment.
 
I'm having SIM problems with my UK iPhone 4S 64GB. Will I be able to swap the iPhone at the Genius Bar? I've also bought AppleCare+ with the phone. I'm asking this because I live in the Netherlands and will be in London for 2 days, next week.
 
I reserved a 32gb and at the reading oracle store and then a 64gb black. But I had to use my american apple id to make the second reservation which was weird. It said I was limited to buying two but at that pint I only had a 32gb reserved. I found it weird with the i.d but not fussed as I have my driving licence in the car. I reserved a 64gb one from the festival place store today As i need to buy screen protectors so kill two birds with one stone.

You can only reserve 1 per apple ID but purchase 2, odd I know but that's what they say.

I picked mine up at Reading yesterday. There was a random variation of people in the queue for reservations that I didn't expect lol.
