So after waiting for Three to announce their god awful prices I decided to get an iPhone 6 plus 128gb with o2 but when I went in they said they weren't getting the 128gb 6 plus until October.

I then tried to get it from Carphone Warehouse as they did the same one but they also said they wouldn't be getting it till October.

My last ditch effort had me going to Phones 4 U and ordering the Vodafone 10gb data £53.50 per month with £79 upfront cost for the 128gb iPhone 6 plus and they assured me it would be delivered to the store on launch day but I'm dubious after having heard that both Three and o2 aren't getting this model until October.

Has anyone else ordered from Phones 4 U? what do you guys think will I be getting a phone call saying that it wont be delivered on launch?

i ordered mine today and they were pretty confident about launch stock but again, not holding my breath with the way the + has been received!

What a mad rush this morning. Ended up ordering around 08:34 and got an estimated delivery date of September 30 for the 64GB iPhone Plus - bit gutted really. Hopefully the estimate turns out to be wrong and I get it next Friday!
 
Does anyone know if 3-4 weeks and dispatched in 7-10 days is different?

I got 7-10 days on my iPhone 6 Plus 64GB Gold & it says the estimate is 30th Sep - 3rd October.
 
Let me do the math, since I have the 20% off

Who: Vodafone UK
When: 12months
Device: iPhone 6 16GB
What: 7GB+Unlimited text and minutes+12 months of spotify
One Off payment: £199
Monthly payment: £46,8
Total x 12 months: £760,6 (- £539 cost of the phone) = £221,6 - (9x12 spotify £9,99) = £8,47 x month

What do you think? :)

Question: As far as I understood, the number portability in UK (I have the PAC) needs to be done AFTER I received the phone and the sim?
 
hey guys i ordered at around 8:35 but my order is showing up as processing items: Delivery: 19/9 in most areas by Standard Shipping but most people have order dispatched?
 
I've just done the comparison with Vodafone (only provide I can use as the others don't provide signal where I live) and actually a contract for a 6+ space grey 128Gb works out £200 cheaper over two years for me opposed to buying it sim free and using the same plan but sim only...Not sure how you think that we are all being mugged off ;) It's cheaper for me to go contract, and I did just that...

My sim only deal is £12.90 a month for 200 mins 3000 texts and all you can eat data.....over 2 years thats £309.60.....add £699 for phone makes it £1008.60........I bet you cant find any carrier tarrif that will come near that......3 for example (same carrier as mine) were doing £57 a month £50 for the phone.......ie £1418 total......ridiculous.

Same, although the site didn't start working for me until 8:40 :/
sort of ticked off, but at the same time I don't mind waiting.
 
I've just placed my online order with Vodafone for the 6plus 64gb and ultd mins/texts & 7Gb data (which they assured me includes tethering). £53.50/month -20% (NHS Discount) = £42.80/month.

Getting it delivered to the local store. Sounds good to me.

Thats normal, often some people have their shipped from China individually (well labeled up in China and tracked via UPS). Others get theirs sent out on Wednesday or Thursday from those that have been shipped over to the UK in bulk - I think they normally use another courier for these otherwise UPS wouldn't be able to cope.

I am surprised how some people who ordered early are getting theirs delivered so late... I ordered mine around 8:37am and mine is arriving on Friday... whats apple doing!!!
 
Preordered mine, iPhone 6+ 64GB! Dispatched: 3-4 weeks.

Does anyone know if this can change?
It's always possible that it would get shorter and I'm sure it has done in previous years. We will see when the profiles update with the serial number which week the preorder devices were assembled, I'm guessing any that say 3-4 weeks haven't been assembled yet.
 
I'm getting Virgin Media's £18 per month unlimited data deal, I have no idea if they allow tethering, but I hope. An iPhone 6 Plus and unlimited data seems like the best combination. *_*

Exactly the same as me! Cant see how some are preparing to ship today and then we have to wait 7 days? So a batch goes out now then a gap of a week before the next? Just pray that we see the date change! :D
 
Mine still says Processing. Ordered the Space Grey, 64gb, Plus at like 8:24 this morning. Says its to be delivered on the 19th but no movement yet.
