UK iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Thread

weegrim said:
One thing Three UK are good for is holding up their promise that unlimited data means unlimited. Im on the One Plan from last year and I won't be giving that up without a fight. I get unlimited tethering with that. The plan this year is unlimited data but you are only allowed to use 4 GB over tethering.

I work away from home just now and being put up in a hotel during the week. WiFi is horrendous in most hotels. I tether and last month (ending 8th Sept) I used 47.5 GB in one cycle with Now TV and Netflix HD streaming.

Three mean unlimited. I wasn't slowed down or told to cut back. The month before I used 36 GB.

Three really are unlimited, they blogged once that if you were to use your phone 24/7 you would be expected to use around 1000GB, they were the only network designed from day one to be built for data.

I also have the one plan, costs me £15 a month 😉.

I don't think it'll change but cross fingers... those pre-orders were flying by faster than how it was with the iPhone 5, 50mins window and delivery time went up, iPhone 5 was around 1~2hrs window for launch day delivery from what i remember.

I'm on One Plan but costs me £23, came off a 24M One Plan and put me on this.

The only upside is unlimited tethering I believe, don't use it much, so maybe cheaper for me to goto a new cheaper SIMO plan whereby still get 4Gb tethering which would do really I think.

I'm on the old One Plan with unlimited tethering for £15 too.

I locked in to a 12 month contract in May time and will just continue to let it roll after that forever and a day! 😀

Not quite sure they were designed for data from day 1, considering they thought a walled garden for internet was acceptable when they first started.

Yes that's what they charge for the unlimited one plan now. If you don't need unlimited tethering it would be worth changing to a similar plan with the limit.

I tried to haggle and get the £15 I'd heard about in June but they wouldn't have it at all, even states £2 reduction on my monthly bill!!

With this One Plan don't get free 0800 calls either so think May as well go for a different SIMO one with unlimited data but limited tethering.

I've also tried to look at EE SIMO as get better signal in a specific area but max is 4Gb data!?!? I use double that a month now

Ya, mine is exactly the same also.
 
Screw ups with the Apple Store App and the Web site meant I'd missed any early slots for a 6Plus....so mine is one of the later ones......and that's making me think about trying to buy one for my wife and I from a store next week?

Will it be only Apple stores that have them SIM free???

What is Eldon Square like for queuing ? Do they leave the mall open overnight so people can queue - or is there somewhere else you have to queue until the door opens?

Wondering if I am wasting my time or it s worth a punt...in saying that's , whilst I don't mind a very early start - say 4 am....I still want to go to bed and so there's no way I would queue overnight..!!!

They over estimate these to stop people panicking and ringing up everyday. I know they sold out of space grey and gold pretty quickly, but most carriers get updates every hour or so I was told. I remember the iPhone 5 was supposed to have long lead times and then stocks started appearing in dribs and drabs. You'll probably get it sooner than that 🙂

If you want completely unlocked phone, only option is from Apple, CWH has unlocked phones however you pop the 1st sim inside it, it'll lock to that sim network is in... so ya... Apple only, start queuing 😛

Just be aware if you give up unlimited tethering you'll never ever be able to get it back again. As Three removed it due to "abuse" as it causes a huge load on their network so no chance of it ever returning.
 
By my calculations the MacRumours Marketplace will magically appear unto me on Monday... will the (UK) Marketplace be a wonderland of reasonably priced '5 series' phones?

Just managed to reserve a 64 GB iPhone 6 Space Grey at the Bromley Store, so no need to wait till the 29th 🙂

The Bromley store still has some 64GB and 128GB available for those wanting to cancel their later order.

Thanks for this post! I hadn't realised that I could reserve a phone for collection - thought it was pre order only.

Thanks to you, I have a iPhone 6 Space Grey 128Gb reserved for collection next Friday!

😎😀😉🙂
