Just realised Vodafone has:

300 minutes
500MB internet
Unlimited texts

For £10.50 per month. Not ideal and not a lot of data, but tempting...

That is pretty good for a steady user! Or if a bit heavier data wise you could just pay £2.40 more a month for unlimited data from 3.....200 mins and 5000 texts
 
Looks like Tesco have dropped the ball a bit here, I have a sim only monthly plan with them, i've heard rumours (and seen a few threads on mac r.) that nano sims would be available for order by phone on Monday.

I've just called them, they informed me that no stores will be stocking the nano sim, they will be available by calling tesco directly or ordering from the website... but get this... you can only order them FROM FRIDAY! -- then it takes 3 working days to get delivered by snailmail.
 
i wasn't mocking (as such lol) but just wondered....are people worried that the earlier it was made the more likely there are to be errors with it or something?? Ie week 37 are more likely to be perfect than week 35 for instance? Surely they wouldn't pass quality control if there was?
I don't think that should be a problem although there is that thing where on some newly made devices the screens haven't had time to cure yet. The speculation at this point seems to be around the fact that US pre-orders have UPS tracking information already where the UK ones have not.

If the iPad 3 was anything to go by the phones are already in the UK and will be dispatched on Wednesday from somewhere like Syncreon.

Do people still need unlimited texts now-a-days? Almost every carrier offers this but with apps link iMessage and WhatsAp you get free texts anyway?

You could just make your micro sim into a nano?
 
Anyone got any news on getting nano sims from Orange???

I aint heard anything from orange im getting really annoyed at them now, there cs is crap for existing customers!!!!!
 
orange mess up saga

OK. Orange having ordered the wrong phone for me and having told me that they would have to wait to receive back the phone sent by mistake, they called this morning to tell me that they have reordered the 5 by cancelling my previous order/account (not sure why they didn't do that in the first place). So it will be interesting to see when my 5 finally arrives.:(:(
They seem to be completely overwhelmed! Their systems just don't seem to be able to cope.
Next time i upgrade will switch!!

Just cancel the order and go with 3 :)
Think they are still saying delivery 21st on their website orders too!
 
Has anyone had anything other than a single Order Confirmation email from 3?

I got burnt last year with Vodafone screwing up my order. I don't wanna end up queuing outside meadowhall in a t shirt again :p
 
T-Mobile

Good morning all,

I pre-ordered a black 32gb iP5 through T-Mobile at around 8:10am on the 14th. I received an order confirmation e-mail at 8:13am then the “Your order's winging its way to you right this minute” message at about 1:45pm. Then on Saturday at around 11:30am, I received a text message from T-Mobile stating “Hi, thanks for ordering your shiny new phone, we’ll be in touch when it’s on the way.”


Has anyone received any further updates from T-Mobile? I am assuming that at 8:10am, I was one of the first to place an order, but am getting quite anxious due to the lack of communication. I cannot log-on to My T-Mobile, or check the order status anywhere. Has anyone tried calling T-Mobile got any new information?

Tesco are being unbearable. They said today to me on live chat / twitter. I rung and not only did customer services make me feel like a complete idiot they also said the same to you - ring back Friday... But not to order - to find out further information.

What I would say however, is that it was clear that the call agent was reading off a script. Ring back Friday... Blah blah blah.

Not happy at all.

Anyone gain opportunity to get a Tesco Nano Sim ordered as yet?
 
Hmm! I'm on GiffGaff(e) so come delivery day I'll be breaking out the craftknives, scissors & sandpaper!

And then approximately 30 minutes later when I've completely destroyed it and nothing works I'll probably be hurriedly going on Three's website begging for a PAYG sim ;)

I will however be getting my PAC code sent from GG before I destroy my SIM :cool:
