UK iPhone 5 thread

Should definitely get yours then since you ordered before anyone else!

yes but the payment didnt go through till about 8:45.... hopefully they go from order time and not payment time.

Does anyone know the situation with Tesco mobile nano sim?

Im currently on the £12.50p/m deal and will transfer this to my phone if i can get a nano sim

I'm tired of refreshing the O2 website.

I don't know why I want to stay with them - I was hoping for a good deal as I'm due an upgrade, but I don't think that actually makes any difference what so ever!

Come on O2 show us your tariffs! T mobile and oranges aren't all that bad... I'm struggling to resist!

 

[Azzin]

UPS or TNT I would think. Maybe even Syncreon.

Are Syncreon actually a delivery company?

Natwest Fraud prevention were slow, but did block the charge. Luckily Apple kept the order and just keep trying, so I've talked to them now and it should go through.

I managed to get my order with Apple. Does anyone know for existing customers, if Orange will get you a nano sim? Or do you have to get the phone from Orange?

According to the o2 twitter feed all iphones are shipped with a nano sim, you just need to do a sim swap with your operator.
(Yes I know you're with Orange but the same should apply)

Three now has an iPhone 5 page, but gets a 404 error at the mo.

No, just handling. They will package and hand off to others. If it comes with TNT it may claim to be with Syncreon the whole time (at least my iPad did).

I agree with ya!! The 64gb on ~£31/£36 a month is a reasonable price, last year I swear it was a lot more. Maybe I'm just blinded xD

Kinda hoped for an OU education store discount.. Fat chance, right? Oh well, 32black ordered without any issues.
It apparently comes with an adapter which is rather nice.

 

[Erurainon]

Just looking at the US site and it claims delivers in 2 weeks. Not sure if it has always said this or they have already sold through the first batch.

Syncreon do some of the logistics, but they hand it over to various other smaller carriers.

 

[Lastof]

You'll be fine. As much as I'm someone who HAS to order at the earliest opportunity, I think anyone who orders today will be okay, maybe into late tomorrow.

Those saying October ship dates who haven't ordered accessories, it's surely a glitch?

I'm not sure everyone today, but certainly in the first few hours. By late afternoon/evening the date might start to slip.

Looks as though the first batch has been allocated/sold out...won't be long in the UK for the same to happen it seems

Good to know, thanks.

If it's UPS, then whenever I've ordered something that's been delivered by them, I get the same guy and he arrives around 10.30am.

i had the same problem, i logged into apple store account and it said

'we cannot authorise the payment for the card blablah BUT we will keep trying to authorise it'


i rang fraud and they unblocked....

order didnt get canceld by apple so you should be ok too

 

[KaPOWitsCHRIS]

My order still says processing. Is that good or bad? Placed it an hour ago..

 

[StefanWolves]

I bought 2x iPhone 5 through my natwest credit card and have a feeling they'll block it. For people who used this method did natwest call you or did you call them? If so what number?!

 

[daneoni]

Arn is already confirming that ship dates are slipping to 2 Weeks now.

No they never do discounts on iPhones, staff don't even get the discounts

 

[Lunfai]

Ordered .... Confirmed delivery date of 21st. Luckily Three put the page up on myThree upgrades before new customers.

Here's what plans I recalled on upgrade page:

79 for 16GB
89 for 32GB
109? for 64GB

79 One Plan is 36
79 Ultimate Internet 500 is 34

89 One Plan is 40
89 One Plan is 37

I think they're right, didn't check 64GB too much.

Changed to 2 weeks on the UK site now

I was. The fraud guy seemed amused by all the tiny (£2-£5) amazon orders I have... I guess prime has made me careless about what I order from them.
