UK iPhone 5 thread

Going for a dual wield when pre-orders open. Will have the Apple Store open on my computer in one hand and the Apple Store App up on my phone in the other. One of them has to make surely!?

Have you checked your card details on there store, and made sure you have express checkout enabled? For those extra seconds before the site crashes.

Yepp, got express checkout on so hopefully that will save me. It's gonna be like turkeys on thanksgiving down there!

Great advice. Just enabled it.

Alright, hands up who frantically checked to see if the iPhone was available to pre-order when we already know full well it won't be up until 8:01? *Raises hand*.

Aye

I did

- Express checkout is a per-browser setting
- Remember to only have an iphone in your basket, you don't want the availability of another item to affect the order

I think using the Apple Store app is the best option, especially with express checkout enabled

Thanks for this! With the Caesars Bingo one, are you only allowed to wager your £10 on a game of Bingo or can it be something like roulette?

Done this once already this year for the iPad, now again for this... and my other half wants a iPad mini, so I assume that if/when that starts I'll have to do this a third time on her behalf. This is getting a little too routine for my wallet.

Hiya

Think you could add my notification tool (that hopefully will alert people when UK iPhone 5 pre-orders are online) to your first post in this thread to let others know?

Link is: http://notify.acudworth.co.uk

Hope it works and helps people!

Cheers

Well, silly me lost £710 from Caesers Bingo, if you do the bonus aswell where you get extra %200, basically i went from £30, to £700, but had to bet x40 to make profit, so i was up to £700, without realising i should of put £50 red and £50 black with £2 on 0, but i just wasted it all away..

Moral of the story, dont take the free %200, and play any game you want. , Bingo is rubbish.. play blackjack or roulette.

Cool! Yeah I avoided the tempting bonus because I guessed this would mean no Quidco cash back. £10 on black here I go! I'll either be £35 up or hopefully £55 up!

Edit: I lost, but will still make £35 through the cash back!

Nano SIM?

Can a Nano SIM be cut from a Micro SIM?

Thats what Im constantly refreshing for no reason, sigh.

Looks like they can in two dimensions with an eBay sim cutter but they might be a little too 'thick' - nothing a few wipes with sandpaper can't fix.

I'm on Three SIM only. Don't really want to go into a Three store if I can help it.

All the best,

Mike

Yes it can.

Well that's me for the night. See you on the other side boys and girls,

Sounds like 8am is good to go - night peeps !

 

[Totalkharnage]

Yes it can.

I was told it couldn't as the Nano sim is actually thinner than a micro sim. I've got one from 3 today ready for next Friday.

Do you not have access to sandpaper in your part of the world? Poor thing.

Even a rough surface such as a brick will do.

Don't shave for a few days... you've got free sandpaper

I fear it would just get lost in my face, as I havent shaved for a while

I'm sitting here right now with a (Three) Nano sim in my iPhone 4
Using the little plastic adaptor they gave me.

Nano sim =£5.11
Adaptor =£0
Number transfer from Micro to Nano done in store and transferred 2 hours later.

I'm ready!

Does the adapter make up for the thinness of the Nano SIM? Compare it to a Micro SIM, do you think it's possible to cut it down to the size of the Nano SIM? Just curious here since my network won't be getting them for months.
