3 have a sim only, one month rolling contract for £12.90.
Includes:
200 minutes
5000 texts
UNLIMITED internet.
Best bit is that they actually mean unlimited (almost, the cap is 1000GB, essentially unlimited). Also, 4G is at no extra cost, just check their coverage for your area, should be either this december or sometime next year.
^^My contract of choice^^
I got a black 5 last year and sort of wished afterwards that I got white but now am glad I didn't as at least the gold will look quite different. Think I have more or less been alternating between black and white since 1st iPhone (didn't get a 3g).
Lol I do it every year!! Drives my wife insane.....
Yep I'll be here next year which I reckon will be the best by far!
----------
Ok 203 has landed...let's see what happens !
I regretted leaving O2 last year as O2 moments was good (liked the Yo Sushi discount
) plus I hated not having visual voicemail til Orange eventually introduced it (I only realised last month that they had )I changed for the option of having 4G but then decided not too bother because if the extra cost and contract extension required
Tethering works on the £12.90 a month deal. I've used it a few times at work. If I was using it regularly I would do the One plan instead though.
If they say they're expecting stock I would believe it. They admitted to me that the dates change even if you order when it has any specific date. I'd be inclined to not cancel the apple one until you actually have the CPW one.
Also, as has been mentioned many times here, the CPW phones are not unlocked. They will lock to the first network card you put in. Thy are also charging a £50 premium I think for their phones - it wasn't showing for people until the checkout stage!
Good luck with it all, whatever you decide.
Handy to know. So the tethering option appears in the settings as it would if you had the one plan?

aw thank you! yes i have been waiting since the 21st lol, i'm not cancelling anything till i have an actual iPhone in my hands haha. So are you saying they could deliver after their promised date as well as before? Or am i defo guaranteed it no later by the date set? I was a bit cheeky and decided to go for the gold 64GB (apple one is 32 GB), so they didn't charge me £50!
and yeah i'm fine with being locked on EE for 6 months I remember UPS Barking delivered all packages at about 7:00am when I used to live in East London without request to do so
YOUR UPS depot mentioned in the tracking and you can find the address easily via Google
All UPS depots open till 20:00 !!!!

Waited for a week, with no luck
Returned handset and cancelled the contract with themp.s. Did not have any plans to use O2

Unfortunately Apple will not be able to resell it straight away
So, if anyone here need it its better to do a private sale with him
Yes. I've used Personal Hotspot with Bluetooth and wifi a few times to get connectivity on my iPad. They could turn it off with a future profile update at any time I guess.

I just re-read my post lol I'm so sorry I meant to say that I WOULDN'T really believe it!! I did actually manage to get them on the phone and he straight up admitted they have no idea when they're getting stock they just hope it'll be around the dates they post online!
I did have an order with them but cancelled it when I realised Apple where going to sort it out quicker than them.
I'm usually very down on CPW but this time I admit the guy was very pleasant and more than happy for me to cancel my order when it wasn't going to be here.
Sorry for the misunderstanding!
Even though i got mine yesterday and tracked it all the way using the flight info on different sites I'm still watching you guys [i know how your feeling] il be here next year as well it gets better every year.
203 doesnt have anything related to us :/ the tracking page shows phones are still in Cologne.
Mine is still in Köln/Cologne, and my hopes of it arriving in time for delivery on Friday are dwindling. I was planning on spending the weekend filming slo-mo videos, taking pictures in poor light conditions, and using all sorts of body parts to trick Touch ID, what am I going to do now?
Oooh the love and hate for waiting.......
Oooh the love and hate for waiting.......
all of us are in the same boat. our phones are still in Cologne. and they have a holiday on 3rd October. so it will come there on 4th.

As long as UPS gets them to the UK by tomorrow night we will be ok for friday, they are just building tension!
Sounds good.
I've just ordered a free Three PAYG SIM to try it out before going on a monthly contract.
