I was told that this is not yet being applied to 5S/5C tariffs. Hope I'm wrong but confirm before you buy.
Got a tip for us?

Can I ask what time and date you ordered from the CPW? I ordered mine at around 6:30 Saturday night and I have received no word of shipping except from the confirmation of order.
Thanks
Yeah they said to my wife today in the O2 Store that the 30% discount isnt available on 5S tarriffs at the moment the guy speculated it might be about 6 months before they offer it on them.
My partner is going to be switching to Vodafone now due to the 20% discount they offer NHS staff on line rental.
It is, my partner works for O2. I was going to upgrade with them after 10 years but gone with EE instead as O2's 3G coverage is awful
I only get 30% of the airtime tariff sadly. Still that brings the cost down to just under £19 for the plan I was looking at, then plus £10 per month for the handset.
Is it the Friends & Family discount you get? If so you don't get 30% off the Refresh tariff, it's now 50% off the airtime tariff
i m from greece and i have a friend in London. he will buy tomorrow a sim-free iphone 5s from cpw to send me here. Can i use it with my sim? What means tha the phone locks at the first sim?
nope. the phone locks to the first UK network. if you use abroad then you ill get an error AFAIK.
about the same time on Saturday... got an immediate confirmation of order and then a dispatch note at about 7:45pm tonight
I decided to save the £40 and just wait for my apple order to deliver. Does anybody think that they will shorten our delivery time? I honesty can't believe we have to wait 7-10 days when american orders from apple are already being dispatched. Ridiculous.
There was a rumour here that you could get truly sim free unlocked 5S (not locked to first UK network) on CPW for a premium (about £50 AFAIK) but they make the order web link difficult to find.
dunno the details...

No one other than Apple sell unlocked.
As others have said, this will definitely not work.
The phone will lock to the first sim and it has to be a UK sim, other simcards will not work at all.
