Onto Delivery Van Scan
 
So my iPhone 5 arrived in very good time this morning. But because I'm on T-Mobile I won't be able to get a SIM for a day or so (depending on stock at the stores in Southampton).

I was prepared for this but I was not prepared for the fact that the phone will not 'activate' without a SIM and so is completely useless until I get the SIM. Is there any way to bypass this so I can set the phone up without a SIM?

Oh wow, I did not think about that, I was on Giff Gaff and last minute orderd a Three nano sim and was kicking myself I did not go with Tesco even though it would have taken till Wednesday to get one from them.

Totally forgot you need one to activate. So glad I got my 3 sim now..

You got any spare PAYG sims lieing around? try your hand cutting them down just for activations sake.
 
Northern Ireland Deliveries update!!

I just spoke with a lovely girl from UPS to confirm delivery for today after hearing all the horror stories on here i started to panic a bit.

She confirmed that both my phones are out for delivery as we speak!! Hope this helps guys!! Fingers crossed!!
 
So, I ordered online with Orange on Tuesday. Anyone had an Orange 32GB black dispatched that was ordered this week?
 
I ordered a 32GB, black from Three over the phone. Got an email from them yesterday saying it'd be delievered today but nothing from any courier (DPD?). So no tracking number!!

Any one else in the same boat?
 
UKMail still chugging. Or not accepting connections, at least.

I managed to get connected for the first time today. I can see that my iPhone is out for delivery but clicking more info doesn't bring up anything so I can't tell how long it's been out, very tense!
 
also in Luton, im still awaiting my delivery from UKMail

You'll probably have the same guy. It will be a gentleman whos skin is of a darker persuasion with a bluetooth earpiece in (sorry, no idea what the PC way of saying that is now).

I tend to get my deliveries quite early as im so close to the M1.
 
For all UPS Northern Ireland Deliveries

Just to ease your mind, I have just received a call from the UPS driver to confirm that he will be delivering my phone after 1pm today and I live in Banbridge :) The info UPS has been giving out is wrong!!
