UK iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Thread

Anyone that purchased an iPhone 6 from P4U should be contacting their credit card provider or bank immediately.

Don't rely on/wait for P4U to give you back your money.

Yes I have a cheap(er) solution.

Voda for 10GB/ month on 64GB + is:

£58.50 + £99 for 24 months is £1503

or 7GB for

£53.50 + £99 for 24 months is £1413.

I have unlimited data (4GB tether) and texts and 200 minutes on three:

£15/month + £699 upfront with no contract is £1059 for 24 months service.

You can get that 7GB Voda deal for £48.50 + £69 through CPW...
 
Popped into my local Three Store today. Got myself a Nano SIM.

Also an adaptor to use in my current 3GS before the iPhone 6 came.

In The queue, I kept hearing "replacement" and "£5.11" so when I got served I was expecting to pay £5.11 but she just handed me the SIM and adaptor on the spot and I said "free?" And she was like "yeah it's completely free"

It was also pre-activated so all I did was put in the new nano sim into the adaptor then my 3GS. Worked straight away.

Three are the best network IMO.

Fair enough, thanks.

I wouldn't mind a SIM Only deal on EE, but I'm not prepared to live with a 4 gig allowance and I hate the thought of going onto a handset contract to get a higher allowance.

In the meantime, I think I'll stick with my 3 SIM that gives me unlimited data and tethering, 2000 minutes, 5000 3 to 3 minutes and too many texts to mention, for £15 per month!

Did you call them? I got 9GB offered on a Sim only deal for £11.99 for 6 month and 23.99 6 month after.

Youre right of course.
I just got an email form them confirming cancellation.
It says "your account will not be charged", so as they haven't actually taken any money from my account (only put a hold on £200), they shouldn't take it now. But yeah best to tell bank not to pay it if they try!

..you bought a £600+ iPhone and are willing to cover it with a 99p bit of plastic?!?!?!?!?!!?:confused:

I know this isn't pointed to me, but in my case... until Beyzacases comes out with better cases for the iPhone 6 Plus... I'll go with the cheapest for the time being.

Are you suggesting paying £25 for the same 99p bit of plastic from Apple or another established brand would provide better protection?

Though to be fair I've got a Spigen on order - more for looks than anything else; I don't think anything gives better protection than the TPU cases you can pick up on eBay for about £2 delivered.
 
On launch day I ordered a Space Grey 16GB 6 at 8:35ish via the Apple website, due for delivery on the 19th, and I'm incredibly excited. A cheap £2 case that I ordered from eBay arrived today, and it's made me feel completely at ease with the 4.7 screen, was starting to wonder whether I should have gone with the Plus, but I reckon it would just be TOO big for me.

Does anybody else feel like the 5S was only released a few months ago? Usually by the time a new iPhone announcement comes around I'm usually chomping for a new model, but this year I was still completely in awe of my 5S. I just couldn't resist the new screen sizes!

Just saw a post on another thread with someone's iPhone being shipped from the UK to the US, it looks like they already have stock somewhere in the country. So I guess that means that we will get our tracking numbers later on in the week, if they are being distributed internally.
Click to expand...

yes, that would be my guess.

Then I think the people who got 7-10 days will start to see them ship from China an they will be able to track the planes.... it was quite interesting / nerdy fun guessing the plane and seeing if you were right.

I had one device, can't remember if it was the 5 or 5S ... seemed to go a hell of a long way around. From China to US mid east then from US to Alaska, then to Germany, then the UK.

I posted this in the Carphone Warehouse thread, but thought it might get more responses here:

I don't want to spark any panic, but I just rang CPW twice, both times the quality of the calls dropped to the point where we were cut off. During the first call, the woman I spoke to told me that they wouldn't have any 6 Plus stock in 64GB till October 13th. A different woman told me during my second phonecall that they should have enough stock for a Sept 19th delivery. Very confused and annoyed, and don't have the patience to call back again only for the phone line to be disconnected. Has anyone else spoken to them about this?
(Ordered by 8:45am on Friday. Received an email immediately, then a confirmation of the credit check around 9pm)

Yep I can confirm these dates too.

I saw the sheet that one of the CSA had and ALL the Plus' were delayed to early to later October

Ok. Thanks for the info. I guess I'll try to cut it myself by watching a few tutorials and if it doesn't work I can always buy a new nanoSIM then. Can´t wait for Friday heheh :cool:

Yeah, that's a great idea! I already thought about buying a SIM cutter, but it feels a bit odd to buy a tool I'll be using only once.

I've been in a jam before (in Russia) and I cut a SIM down to size using the scissors on my Swiss Army knife. Wouldn't have won an art prize but it worked fine. As long as it fits in the tray and all the contacts are in the right place it will work and you still have the fall back of going to get another if it goes wrong.

So you're saying that anyone who ordered a Plus from CPW won't be getting it until October? I can't believe that's the case. They must have at least some stock of the Plus.

Yep Three is amazing I had over four free replacement sim cards since last August each time I ask for one they keep saying you need to pay £5.11.
But somehow I keep getting it for free.

1.First SIM Card was faulty keep getting no service.
2.Second SIM Card sold my phone to Mazuma with the sim card left in.
3.Third SIM Card lost while on holiday. lol

I am the same, and I have a 5. The screen and design of iOS still wows me everyday.

I do not know about whether they have any in hand.

But according to the CSA who outright told me the Plus' will only be coming out in October, I can only take his word and the date sheet he wasn't meant to show me.

The Normal Iphone 6 is fine though

Sometimes they charge for SIM and then give an instant refund, but I have been charged once and they wouldn't refund.
