They check to see if you have the money in your account but it doesnt show for a while so you'll be charged the full amount later on near when the phone arriving. £1 charge is the amount charged for using a credit card I think!
Got a tip for us?

It hasn't been dispatched, the key bit being the : at the end of dispatched.
Dispatched: 14th October means it will be dispatched by 14th october

30 days? I ordered with Orange but through the Carphone warehouse. I know they have separate stock, it doesn't all come from Orange, this was what I got sent to me:
Great news! Your order for the brilliant new Apple iPhone 4S has been
confirmed and successfully processed.
If a one off payment is required as part of your deal, please note that
this has been taken from your account to secure your order.
What happens next?
We aim to dispatch your order for delivery on Friday 14th October 2011.
So no idea whether that means they are dispatching it on 14th or whether it will be delivered on the 14th. What does everyone else think that means?

Why is all of the hate being directed to O2? I think that they're a great mobile carrier, their tariffs are competitive and have very reliable customer service. I've never had any problems with them whatsoever.
Because people feel they have been on the wrong end of this stupid ' overnight company decision'. I mean take for example you didn't want the iPhone, you wanted a Samsung. On Friday you could get out of your contact for £40 but on Saturday it was going to cost you £110 for no utter reason. Why withdraw the offer? O2 might be a good carrier whilst your with them and the customer service is top notch but the way they handle these iPhone launches is embarrassing. You'd never think they were the biggest uk carrier by looking at how they handle these launches.
Its quite clear, i'm not sure how you are confused. They aim to dispatch your phone in time, so that it will be delivered on the 14th October. They don't say they will dispatch it on 14th October.

Not this year, has to be delivered if you order online.
Anyone know from experiance what time i should get to the store to be in with a good chance of a 4S? any help is greatly appreciated folks 
Seems like some of the US orders are getting their orders updated to shipping?
Anyone else left the realms of processing yet?

Definitely agree with that part, I was shocked to see that they aren't doing pre-orders this time around! I'm gonna have to make my way to an O2 shop before work...

Not sure really. Am surprised that no one is mentioning the fact that they seem to be the only network to be offering a 12 (for existing customers) and 18 month contract option. I for one do not want to get locked into a 24 month contract.
It would really make my day if they do a cheaper early upgrade fee - at the moment my fee for fast track upgrade is showing at £91.92. But i guess I can live with that.
Have also set up online to trade in my iP4 32gb for £282 with O2 recycle. Seemed a reasonable price compared to what they are currently selling for on ebay by the time you factor in ebay and paypal fees.
I appreciate people are unhappy at lack of preordering but I do feel like in other regards they are looking after me as an existing customer - I may change my view on that if I don't get a white 64gb on Friday though!
And they do proper visual voicemail - I don't like the app versions.
Roll on Friday - thank goodness I had day booked off anyway

Thanks! It says Dispatched: 1-2 weeks will that be genuinely dispatched in 1-2 weeks or are they still going to deliver by 14th? Because my cousin's picking up my phone and they're leaving on the 15th so does that mean it'll only arrive 1-2 weeks after the 14th?
They put a temporary hold on the full amount with debit cards and £1 with credit cards. That's because debit and credit cards work differently.
I know this was mentioned earlier in the thread but I just wanted to ask a question about t-mobiles iPhone micro sim, £15 including £10 top up giving you :
"Choose 100 free UK minutes, unlimited free texts or 60 free international minutes"
And unlimited internet for 12 months.
My question is : Once the month is up is your £10 still available ? just that you have no texts left (if i picked unlimited texts) OR Is the £10 gone and you need to top up again to get anything (except web obviously)

Same here (tracking at 149..), what happens is it tracks at that price and then gets reduced when it's confirmed.
Looks like im on the only one here on T-Mobile
got a white 32gb sim free from apple and a sim only deal
£12pm 600mins, unlimited data & text with 120mins international calls and tethering.
to get the best deals when renewing ALWAYS ring the cancellations dept than the upgrade dept, cancellations dept get bonuses to retain customers upgrade dept dont tend to give a ****
