UK iPhone 5 thread

Mine says the same thing, but as I said before

Put your UK Mail consignment number here: (the Consignment number can be found by using your tracking number on the UK Mail website)

http://www.business-post.com/scripts/wsisa.dll/ws_quickpod.html

And you should see your package in your area, or just outside your area, which means it's on the move and collected.

Cheers for that! I missed that link the first time round.
Scanned just 15 mins ago in Manchester :) woop!

We are using our Apple tracking numbers which we place in UK Mail's "Reference Number Box" on their main website.

We then grab the consignment number from the results of the above and place them into Business post website (Which belongs to UK Mail) and then we get updated about where our packages are.

It's a long arduous Lord Of The Rings journey, featuring a trip around every single server on the internet, battling obstacles and trolls, then finally the rainbow appears and a leprechaun craps out the prize.. :cool:

If you're using Apple Maps it may not know the difference :eek:

I've just spent an hours updating Maps for locations in our small village/ town - ddo you think they might bet updated before tomorrow. I wouldn't want the UPS man not to be able to find me ,,,,:):)
 
Quick question, either the scales are awful or my UK Mail shipment is about 600 grams heavier than my former UPS shipment.

Went for white as I always wanted white with iP4, and we know how that turned out. Was always envious of how much more the screen 'stands out' on a white iPhone.

Ah, fair enough, will have to hold it near the bottom so the ally backplate shows and have headphone plugged in so it's obviously the bottom they are connected to ;)
 
Just had an email confirmation (09:22pm) from DPD for my Three UK Black 64GB for delivery tomorrow.

Quidco emailed saying they had troubles tracking Three UK and to register missing tracking ASAP.

Unfortunately I don't have anyone to do that for me :(

I really hope I don't miss it! I will be scanning the road up and down on the way looking for a van and if I see one I'm going to leg it back! :)

It was really easy and i am RUBBISH with my hands, huge sausage fingers so if i can do it anyone can.

I printed out the PDF template:
www.nanosim-adapter.com/nano_sim_template.pdf

Stuck my Micro SIM to the printout with some double-sided tape and went to work. I used a bit of sandpaper to smooth the edges but I have not sanded the thickness. I placed it in the Nano to Micro adaptor that came with my wife's O2 Nano SIM pack and it works in my 4S.

I'll know tomorrow if I need to sand the thickness. So far I have saved a lengthy trip to T-Mobile and an unnecessary £10.22 charge.

ahhhh, ok, so we don't yet know if the .09mm thickness difference is an issue. thanks for the reply.

The Black/Slate will be more noticeable but as the back is the white is mainly silver, it will still clearly be visible as iPhone 5

TBH it's obviously longer too. :) As long as people will look and go "ooooo!" our work is done! "Buy all the products. Convert all the people."

please note i have changed the URL of the PDF I used. It's

www.airportal.de/nanosim/

This document says the following about the thickness:

Including tolerance defined by ETSI specifications (+30μm/ -70μm) NanoSIMs (0.67mm) are just 60μm thinner than previous SIMs (0.76mm), which corresponds to the thickness of a human hair and thus should not make a difference in practice. If unexpectedly necessary you may slightly grind the plastic side of your SIM card with sand paper. Never grind the chip side!
 
T-Mobile

Just off the phone with T-Mobile web Sales (they close at 10) and was told they would not be able to tell me who will be delivering my parcel, Royal Mail or UKmail but they did say they had a tracking number, but said I would not be able to track it till I got a text and they still didn’t say when I would get it.

My number is 10 digits long and starts with 02192*****

Tried both site but with no joy, as anyone got a similar number and if so can anyone tell me where it comes from?

Thanks
 
It'd be so funny if these nano SIMs that Three have been so kind to get out to people before every other network are too thin or thick and don't work properly in the iPhone 5... lol I'd be a tad disappointed! Mine's sat here in an adapter (which Three store in Hemel Hempstead - Marlowes - were so kind to give me) in my 4S. Working brilliantly. I'm sure my battery is lasting a little longer too, compared to my giffgaff sim (I may be imagining that).
 
Just noticed with UK Mail you can change it online so your order stays at your local depot for collection, rather than going out for delivery tomorrow. I was thinking of making mine a collection so I can pick it up in the morning.

Don't want to mess it up though, so will leave it I think.

Hey! I am waiting for such email. When did you order and did you order over the phone? Cheers.

Got better signal with Three? That's probably why.

That's not a tracking number for either of those 2 mate. Thats the t-mobile order number. Mine starts with 02 aswell and is 10 digits long. My Royal mail tracking number starts SG has 9 digits and ends GB. The first 2 letters can change but the GB doesn't. They haven't given you a tracking number. I would be on the phone to find out the status of your order. If its not with the courier it won't be coming tomorrow I'm afraid
 
Northern Ireland

My delivery apparently isn't to Monday and I just got 2 updates from the 'Parcels' app to say it had left Tamworth and that it was signed into Castle Donington!

Anybody any ideas what is near there or if it can be flown over night from there to NI? I think Birmingham is near there but I can't remember lol
 
Mines enjoying Birmingham at the moment.

I hope it doesn't stay there too long. Someone might steal it.
