UK delivery address probably!

 

[misi06]

So there is no option to pick it from apple store next week?

 

[OVERTASK]

No, you sir, are clearly just a doubter.

I hit back on my browser, and got a grab of the screen.

It's a lie!

I am so unsure on whether to go for that one plan on Three. Some people say Three is excellent and others say it is terrible as per Julian's response

Yes, they ask you for your National Insurance Number and Passport Number just to be sure.

 

[kiish]

UK Apple Store down

Sadly not, trust me, I'm as disappointed as you are.

Sarcasm intended?

What time do the stores open at tomorrow? Just the usual?
One story I saw said 8am but that could just be whichever one they were talking about...

 

[Chrisxenofontos]

what time will go back online? 8 in the morning? (UK TIME)

 

[BMcCoy]

nope... in just 96 minutes' time!

 

[Chrisxenofontos]

at midnight???? are you sure? mostly apple opens the online store same time as normal store

 

[BMcCoy]

You've not been following this, have you?!

Maybe when iPhone 3 came

 

[troubleonline]

:d

Stop giving everyone the incorrect time. Yes it is 8am people. You wait at that time.

These fools want to trick you for the 12am. I won't let them do that.

Also can people tell Apple that they have lives and won't sit in a queue for hours or days even. Pathetic how they handled this launch. They should have just delayed it a few weeks.

I'd recommend using Three's online coverage checker. I didn't use it before signing up to Three - I assumed that since they'd had to build a 3G network from the ground up that they'd have good coverage in all large cities. Not so, apparently.

It's only when I got poor reception and then checked the coverage for my postcode on their website that I discovered that it was marginal.

Maybe try checking coverage where you live and work?

Apple retail stores will be opening at 8am.

The online store will be online at 12:01am according to two different Apple employee's I spoke too (one in retail store and one on the phone).

 

[Vidd]

Apple retail stores will be opening at 8am

Does that apply to all stores?

 

[bugout]

Does that apply to all stores?

No, just the apple stores.

 

[buryfan]

Would I be right in thinking that the most cost effective way of getting the 5s would be to get it sim free from apple and then choose a sim only carrier plan?

 

[BMcCoy]

is everyone getting a bit sleepy....?!

just close your eyes for a few minutes.... allow yourself to just rest for a moment...

tick.. tock... tick... tock...

Coverage in locations I am likely to be going all looks fine. Thanks for the advice though.

Main reason I was looking at 3 is that it seems similar to my current GiffGaff plan but with two benefits:

- Can tether my iPad or laptop
- Will use 4G when available and with no limits
