My email is different? I'm such a worry. Did you get this email first?

Just had a brilliant phone call from o2 (my current network)....
Went through all security questions
Him... Just calling in regards to a recent webchat you had with one of our advisors, where you obtained a PAC code to take your number to 3 network.
Me..... Yep
Him.... I wondered if you'd mind answering a couple of questions about this?
Me...... Ok
Him...... What was it that made you decide to leave o2 for another network?
Me..... If im honest, i was waiting for o2 to release their details and pre orders all day, but when i saw other networks allowing pre orders and o2 just saying "keep checking back" i decided to go to 3
Him.... Ok, so it was a case that they got their prices out before us then, and what are 3 giving you with their contract
Me..... Unlimited data which o2 dont offer and free tethering which o2 charge for
Him.... (ignoring what ive just said) how much are you paying a month?
Me ..... Same as what i was with you
Him..... and which handset have you gone with?
Me ...... 64 GB
Him..... and how much are they charging you for that? (said in a "bet your paying loads" way)
Me ...... 109 pound.
Silence........
Him...... Oh.... yeah, thats a good deal. In fact thats a cracking deal.
Me...... I know, they are still taking pre orders on their site.... you should have a look.
Him.... I might do.
Me.... Well if thats all, thanks for your call. Bye.
Him..... erm.... bye.

Got the number from Apple over the phone. It you can't get it it will show later on the Apple Bridge Point page you get to when you track the shipment on apples site. The 1Z number gets added in addition to the numbers that are there. I was just impatient and called Apple for it!
Lol, thanks... I'll try and be patient, I bet they are getting bombarded with calls from us apple geeks!
I left O2 mainly because they refuse to offer any form of unlimited data plan, which I just think is crazy as at least three of their competitors do.
And, it didn't help their case that won't be able to offer 4G on the iPhone5 either.
Two different accounts, so would get caught - have to refuse it then phone them to cancel order (can't do it before as the number hasn't been assigned)
Called Vodafone earlier to activate my Nano Sim. Was completed in about 2 minutes. Currently using it in a crappy old Blackberry 
It's rubbish

I've got to say, Three is doing incredibly well this week.
They've been on the ball and they managed to get their pre-ordering, tariff information, and nano-SIM pickups all sorted before the pre-ordering started on Friday. No other network managed to get themselves in order so efficiently.
Three are also offering fantastic contract-tariffs. Normally going SIM-free is the cheapest option, but Three's iPhone 5 deals only end up costing a few £s more over a 24 month contract. This is clever, because they've made it a no-brainer to switch to them from other carriers, and I'm sure that most of these new customers will stay with Three once they experience how fast their network is.

Judging from the posts on here, as well as elsewhere, a lot of people have gone with 3 this year.
O2 still refuse to give me a nano SIM, so I'm seriously considering a SIM only plan from 3, despite the fact that I have a year left on my £16.50 p/w O2 contract.
Guys, no need to phone apple for a tracking number for UPS.
I just tried my tracking number on the apple website, the one starting with a number 8 next to where it says "Tracking number"
I entered it into the reference box on UPS site (not the normal tracking box). It worked, brought up a page saying how a label has been made and it will update later.

Indeed, been very impressed with them this week. Speed on my iPhone 4 is also good, looking forward to trying in my 5 though to see HSDPA speeds!
I didn't get an email at all just DPD tracking and the option to reschedule if I'm not in tomorrow.
Looks like my email has come from DPD as it has a picture of a DPD van at the bottom of it. If it's any consolation, your email from Three is more funky...
Yes this works, comes up for me as well.
Tried it earlier and last night and it wasn't working, they must have just updated the orders.
thanks for the info... worked for me... now i have my "1Z..." to add into the Delivery Touch app
