which store man? I live in Hendon, work in The City and no one would give me the time of day let alone a nano sim!
I'm not impressed with the carriers, not one bit. 3's store staff and their mendacious 'guarantees' and Orange (for my partner) with their complete refusal to tell you when it's going to arrive. Apparently they'll get a text the day before, so evidently there's clearly nothing cooking from them tomorrow.
I'm very tempted to turn up at 3 when they open just to cancel that contract; I'd hate for anyone to earn commission under false pretences.
a guy at orange just told me that they're still getting the phones to UK Mail even now, that they got the stock from Apple much later than they were meant to and that they reckon UK Mail will still be sending texts out until midnight. He also claimed they did not get the stock they expected, but the first wave will get them friday/saturday, he seemed surprised i knew that royal mail SD is also being used. he thought mine should have had some sort of allocation by now, but it could be that it's just not been updated yet. Also he said anyone in the second wave will get theirs monday/tuesday. he was very certain i should have mine by tuesday.... the wait continues!!
Just picked up my nano sim from t-mobile for £10. No adapters in store so I tried to blag one off 3 but no can do. Micro sim now disconnected.
You paid £10 for a free Nano SIM
!!!???The person I spoke to could barely stifle a laugh when I asked for some information. Just the stock 30 day line winging its way from Smuggy Acres.
I said earlier that Royal Mail might be picking up the deliveries from UK Mail!
My package is in Burgess Hill , there's a royal mail depot there
Another posters package is in Greenford , there's a royal mail depot there.
Other posters have said the same thing.
Burgess Hill is in West Sussex, I am in Worthing West Sussex

Not me, im an upgrader, i was talking to them about Roaming, and just asked the question
every time I've rang them they keep saying no phone's in stock will be allocated a phone tomorrow.... I did find out I was in the first batch of iPhones at least

Free nano sim? Not from t-mobile it ain't. it's always been the case even their micro sims are £10
Not to worry though I had already called t-mobile before going to my local store and they taking it off my next bill
So we've surpassed the 6,000 posts in the UK iPhone 4S thread, but are nowhere near the 17,000 posts in the UK iPhone 4 thread. We have a lot of work to do
CPW Preorders
Having not received an email from CPW about my order being dispatched yet, I called up their customer services team and they said that they can't guarantee it'll come tomorrow because they can't get in touch with their warehouse until tomorrow morning. Spoke to a manager and he told me it could come tomorrow but not to hold my hopes up.
(I ordered on Friday afternoon last week as an upgrade)

Mine doesn't work as a reference number, but rather as the consignment number
I did it by accident first, then tried putting it as the reference number and it didn't work. Upon checking the details using it as the consignment number it's all correct info p.s. my tracking number is 14 digits long.
