UK iPhone 5 thread

8 to 12 Mbps on 4G? I'm not impressed. I get around 4.5 on 3G!

My most recent test was 7.7 on Three!

I get 7 on my 4S on orange, I think they're being cautious as their demos showed 30 or so

Just received a nano sim adaptor from amazon, works very well and I'm now up and running on 3 on my 4S

Just ordered in store from T-Mobile and have been confirmed tethering is still allowed.

Awesome. Thanks for the info.

Just got 8.4mbps on three 3G. Don't need much faster than that! EE 4G sounds like a bit of a letdown to me.

I just received my Vodafone confirmation email, but it does not say unlimited calls or 2 gb mobile internet. what gives?

I have a sim only deal with vodafone - just purchased the 32gb version but won't get delivered until October, but it's cool - something to look forward to!

Just rang Vodafone and they are sending a nano sim in 48 hours so if any of you are wondering, Vodafone had 33000 nano sims left so there should be plenty of stock!

 

[Libitina]

You do.

They've changed that since yesterday then because I was going to go through them.
Typical!

Stealing this from another forum where I asked about Orange's nano-sim replacements...

According to http://www.apple.com/uk/retail/iphone/ UK Apple stores stock SIM cards, primarily to sign up customers to UK mobile networks. I phoned two Apple stores near me to find out more. It turns out that they do SIM swaps quite regularly, usually without charge. However, they can't give out any nano-SIMs until Friday.

It reflects very well on Apple and very badly on Orange that Apple has to carry out Orange's customer service for them. This is a complete shambles by Orange.

Three sure will be making a lot of money out of SIM deals with this iPhone launch.

I must say they've been very impressive - being the only carrier with their act together on nano SIMs, and offering amazing deals with unlimited data. Perfect.

Every time I call/chat to Vodafone they insure me that they don't have any stock and that I can order one on the 22nd... Not sure who is lying.

Buyers remorse?

Anyone ordering the iPhone 5 via Orange, T-Mobile or Three, remember to go via www.quidco.com first.

You'll get £45 cashback for Orange/T-Mobile and £95 cashback for 3.

Whilst I'm a little annoyed I missed out on £45, I never like going through Quidco when doing an Apple pre-order. It always feels so frantic with websites going offline (as Orange did) that I prefer just to order the thing and take the hit.

I just preordered my 16gb iPhone 5 in black from car phone warehouse.

£109 for the phone then £36 a month on T Mobile "Full Monty Plan".

Car phone warehouse promised it will be in store on Friday morning and they will be opening early.

 

[duction]

is it first come 1st server when you do it that way in carphonewarehouse?

Their communication isn't great because I rang them this morning and they told me what you just said. Having to deal with Vodafone regularly at work I know you get a different answer every time you ring, so try ringing again!

I think it's because we're more 'condensed'. Looks good though

yeah, never understood why that always happened after launches. I always though a heck more yanks where on macrumors...

Oh yes!

Who else is checking the progress of their phone thru the Apple website a few times a day, or is it just me being sad?

I check it more than a few

I find it strange how I instantly don't care about iOS 6 release next week, I just want friday to be here!

If you're being sad, then so am I

Three telephone orders - Email confirmation?

Hi,

Anyone who ordered via three over the phone....

Have you received any confirmation emails or order tracking info?

I don't want to wait til Thursday (when I should get delivery text info) to find something has gone wrong.

Thanks

I've been running it for a while now, still a few bugs even with the GM. I think it's fair to say I want my phone NOW!

Yesterday I won a new iPad, which I should be elated about, but I'm more excited about next Friday!
