Found the answer for anyone else who is wondering ... no need to have a PAYG credit balance greater than 0.00 🙂

Yeah, from the form it looks like they'll call in you within 2 days if your balance is below £15.32.

My 32gb/Silver arrived earlier along with the 3 PAYG SIM for £10 I had to add to the order. Stupidly, Three included a standard PAYG SIM (wtf!) so I had to cut it down. Still works fine and the unlock request is in.
 
Got my 16gb gold yesterday afternoon and it's perfect!! Good luck to all those expecting their deliveries this week/in the coming weeks!
 
Anybody at Trafford Centre? Just rang and the guy said there's a queue of around 100 people, said they have stock of all colours and models but couldn't disclose the amount of stock they had. Was tempted to go but I'm busy this afternoon and can't be stood there all day on the off chance I'll get a gold 32GB model
 
if you click on this link and zoom out http://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/5x3

you can see that the flight originiated in hong kong, its on its way to dubai right now (will probably touch down in an hour or so) and then goes to cologne..and probably to philly after that.

EDIT:

Also this flight could be interesting (though i doubt it, as our departure scan was around noon, 6 hours ago)

The 5x3 flight seems to have vanished from FlightRadars live view...!?

So has UPS1... I don't think this actually can keep hold of the signal from the plane at all times... As well, UPS3 is halfway across the Arabian Sea at the minute on the way to Dubai. Fingers crossed the phones are on that flight!!

Oh ok that makes sense! My friend just mentioned a plane crash was on the news and my heart skipped a beat. Turns out it was unrelated...
 
iPhone 5s from apple store

Hello,

I will be visiting London soon and planning to buy an iPhone 5s from the Apple Store. I have two questions:

Is it on stock?
Does Simfree iPhone 5s work in other European Countries networks? I am from Belgium.

Thanks,

It's a lottery on stock, guessing that you'd be best of buying SIM free from Apple... And you have little chance there.

Yes, Unlocked will work in Belgium, but would have to check 4G bands in other EU Countries.

Thanks, I will just drop by when I am in London in three weeks. Perhaps things will be calm by then.
