UK iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Thread

I hope you are right Dangerous Theory. The woman I spoke to said I was the first, however I don't believe that.

I simply went into the local 3Store and they gave me an activated nano-sim (with adapter to use in current old phone), completely free.

New SIM worked literally straight away.

Also requested a new SIM for another number but they say "We'll charge you £5.11". the way to get around it is "But I have been a customer for years/months. Is it possible for you to ask your supervisor or something to waive the fee". After that, they usually come back from hold "Ok sir/Madam, we have waived the charge"

Another excuse to use is "I've only ever done this very rarely, and don't feel comfortable paying £5.11 replacement fee when my 'old' network did this for free".

That above method also works.

Thanks mate for your help and advice, but I have managed to get it for free on the 2nd call, I guess the 1st person had a bad hair day, and 2nd one didn't :D.

Thanks again!

Anyone here tried to replace their sim from Micro to Nano and asked to pay £5.xx for replacement from Three? its ridiculous!!!

I hangup on the person I spoke with then called back and I got another person through, and they said they'll send it to me for Free o_O, WTF?

Easiest is to go in store and switch it
 
Got both my tracking numbers :) both with UPS and both not showing as trackable yet on the UPS site.

Not long to wait now just hoping they come at the same time.

Just got my shipping notification! Excited now. EE have just improved their sim only plans. Quite competitive with 3 now, and they have better 4G coverage in the areas I'm interested in.

I have unlimited data and thousands of minutes and texts for £18 a month on Three, it's £25 for 5GB of data and unlimited minutes and texts on EE, that's not even close, especially as data would be the important thing with going to a 4G connection, otherwise why bother. Wish Three would hurry up adding my area to they're 4G coverage, still might go EE anyway if they don't have the same features available.
 
DPD are probably the best courier company. You can even track the driver and what delivery position you're at relative to what delivery number he's on, so you know exactly when you will get it. I think I got UKMail, which is the worst. As long as they deliver it on Friday and don't leave me to wait until 8pm like my iPhone 5 delivery, I'd be happy.

its become £21.99 now ;) and not that its relevant or helpful but their 10GB plan is £27.99 but because i was a "loyal customer" they let me renew with a £10 loyalty discount so i now have unlimited mins and texts as well as unlimited tethering and 10GB data for £17.99, oh and they've started free 080 calls too! Looking forward to the voice over wifi feature in october, free international calls here we come! :D

How come you get unlimited tethering but 10gb data?

I would switch to someone else, but I'm on three at the minute with unlimited data and unlimited tethering (which they dropped recently usually 4GB).

Anyone with Syncreon Parcel as their delivery company, and a tracking number starting 309, your tracking will most definitely be UK Mail.

My cases are showing on UK Mail with the same delivery prefix.

Looking forward to friday now, just wish UK mail would deliver at a decent time to me!

I do think they'll be coming by UKMail, but I'm going to have to disagree with the 309 thing, I ordered a case for my 6 and a dock for it, and while the dock has a 309 tracking number, that is coming by post. the case came by UKMail and the tracking/delivery numbers are the same and do not start 309. weird :)

I hope I receive some sort of email or text tomorrow as other than verbal confirmation I have had nothing from three. My online account just shows I have requested an upgrade and that's it.
There will be hell on if I don't get my delivery on Friday.

Same, i ordered over the phone on Friday and have had nothing but the text about my upgrade, nothing on my3 either but the 'You've already requested an upgrade', heres hoping we get a text/email tomorrow.
 
Hey everyone. Some of you might remember I had a real nightmare last year with my 64gb gold, got a faulty one and apple cocked up the replacement. Luckily things seem to be going much better this year.

This year I ordered a 128gb gold 6 for myself, probably about half past 8. And then a few minutes later placed a separate order on my account for my sister for a 64gb gold 6 Plus.
Interestingly my 6 is being shipped my Synchreon whereas the order I placed a few minutes later for the 6 + is being sent by UPS. Will be fun to see which arrives first, although I'll probably leave for work by 1030.
My sisters out of the country till early October anyway, so it's just gonna be lying there, with me resisting the temptation to open it. She will be mad if I do lol, as it's her first iPhone since the 4S, whereas I upgrade every year.

Quite an exciting few days as by sheer coincidence my new car arrives next week, and the purchase of my first home is wrapping up next week also.

UKMail can still use the Royal Mail to deliver items. It's called downstream access where they deliver an item to the Royal Mail post office who then handle final delivery.

Not saying this will be the case with the iPhone, as it's mostly used for letters.

i 100% agree DPD is amazing the pre delivery texts / options to the fact you can track your delivery real time is amazing!
Not so sure about your UKMail comment tho .. or poor you waiting to 8pm which is the times they deliver too when I'm guessing they have to try and deliver 500,000 extra deliveries at the very least on an iPhone launch

After a few restless days ive just had an email from CPW confirming my order has been dispatched. I ordered 64gb space grey Iphone 6. The order was placed at 9.00am on Friday via telephone and it was an EE upgrade.

The feeling was satisfying after receiving it and even more when the phone arrives!

Agree DPD is the best I wish every courier was like DPD it would save a lot of time and the company money too cannot see any other courier matches DPD for the next 3 years.
 
Can't believe I got UK mail, I've had nothing but problems with them. The last time I requested my parcel be left with a neighbour as I was not in. When I got home I found the card to say it had been left behind our green bin outside. When I checked it wasn't there. I was fuming and this was after another delivery that I had issues with them for.

9/10 I always get my parcel really late with them too not happy apple are using them!
