How long will it take for 3 to dispatch it? I'm really annoyed about the 30 day release too!

When i ordered with 3 over the phone (within the last hour) they have told me i will definitely get the phone on launch day

Been following this thread since day 1 so I thought I'd chime in with my situation.

Ordered a 32GB Black iPhone 5 this morning and just ordered a fresh pay-monthly nano-sim from Three; 200 mins, 5000 texts and unlimited data @ £12.90/month. It's a rolling month so I can leave anytime I like if a better deal comes up or if Three's signal turns out to be **** when I move to uni in two weeks.

£599 + (£12.90 x 24) - £25 Quidco Cashback = £883.60 over the two years.

The equivalent of getting a free 32GB iPhone with unlimited data for £36/month.

Any guesses as to how difficult moving my number from my soon to be defunct Orange contract to my new sim will be?

Good deal. Doing the exact same but have had the rolling 1-monthly One Plan sim for over a year now. It's the only plan that lets you tether for free. I find that very very useful.

Yeah, that's what I thought.
From their T&Cs at the bottom of the ee.co.uk homepage


I expected 4G to be the 100Mbps or so that has been tested in some places!

I don't think that's great tbh, having just done a speed test on 3G i had 4.97Mbps DL, if 4G is giving me only around 10 i would leave it if any more expensive

 

[yegon]

Yeah, 3 nano-sims should be free for existing customers. I noticed during the process he charged £5.11, presumably to my account, then credited it back.

Same here.

Woo! Managed to purchase my iPhone 5, as soon as the Apple Store updated this morning, should arrive on 21st Friday on release day or earlier.

Spoke to Vodafone, they do not have Nano SIMs at the moment but should do on launch day.

 

[duction]

how soon did they release tracking and dispatched notice on pre orders for the iphone 4s? i think the 4 was a few days?

cant quite recall..

 

[Random hero]

Same here.

One thing that occurred to me after my order, they didnt take an email address or give me any kind of order reference.

Did they with you?

 

[ct2k7]

Is everyone's status still "Processing"?

I'm sure I tracked mine from China, and not the UK (that was for iPad 3).

They do mate. I mean, we'll see next week but I must have checked with the lad I spoke to at least five times that it was a nano sim. Give them a call back.

 

[ct2k7]

Yes

Awesome!

I got the iPad3 on launch and they were all shipped from the UK, have a look at the UK ipad 3 thread from months back.

The same goes for the 4S, they all come from Cork, Ireland and are distributed to the couriers on the mainland.

Yet I think my iPad 3 didn't show that it had shipped until the Friday morning! Still received it early Friday afternoon though.
I think I had to pick up my iPhone 4, because they were too busy to send it!

 

[deeelz]

Orange nano sim - any news anyone?

 

[The Game 161]

Anybody know when Vodafone will have the iphone 5 available?

 

[Muse84]

T-Mobile just email me to say my phone would be dispatched within 30 days of release.

I've just spoken to Apple Customer Service about the lightning dock adaptor. They say it was an error on their part, has been corrected now, and that no free adaptors will be supplied. I pushed it a bit, and argued that what I've ordered isn't what is being supplied and that I specifically didn't order an adaptor because I thought I was getting one included for free, and that I'll now have to wait until October to get one. They said that they've had lots of similar complaints and are working on resolving it by Monday. They should have more information by then.

 

[max-power]

I;ve gone with T-Mobile in the end and the 64gb version since it was only £50 more, havnt had an email yet. But its says within 30 days, I guess it can still arrive next friday?

 

[Nonentity]

Yes.

Get your nano SIM from your local store (for free) then visit http://www.three.co.uk/Support/Micro_SIM_upgrade to transfer your old SIM to the nano. It will take around 24 hours.

Awesome, Thanks for the reply!
