Why would you send it to Envirofone when you can get much more on eBay!
----------
So, do we think pre-orders will start at 00:01 like they did last year?
I considered ebay, but here - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Apple-iPh...07238?pt=UK_Mobile_Phones&hash=item4186861086
This guy is selling it for £225. If I sold it for the same amount, then Ebay will take 10% fees, and so will Paypal. So, thats £45 straight away which means I get £180 at the end.
Also, I got my phone replaced 9 months in due to a faulty camera, so the reconditioned phone wouldn't have matched the IMEI on the box, plus the original lightning cable was broke, so again would have to have offered some discount.
Recycling takes away a lot of the hassle.
Hardly much more now. I can see so many 16GB iP5's for 210 quid flying about. Envirofone with that code does it close to 190. Would rather use a proper service like that than risk eBay for an extra 20 quid, which you lose out after eBay and Paypal fees making it about even!
Thanks dude, just submitted mine although not entirely sure if I'll sell it there yet. By the way CEX are 'currently' giving £194 for the same model unlocked,
Think I am going to stick with Envirofone as the apple recycle program only gives an estimate. Whereas it seems with Envirofone as long as the phone is in fairly good condition and works you get the full amount.
I did it earlier via Apple for £210 but decided as they take 30 days for payment, and its only estimate, will do it via Envirofone instead. Plus they give extra 5% with EXTRA5 code
How do i cancel the apple recycle order? If i just don't send it in, will i get charged something?
What went live at 0:01? Can't have been 5s or 5c since they weren't available for pre order.
it was at the checkout page where you enter your bank details.
Apple's own recycling is £190 but price isn't guaranteed.
Ok cheers, I'll go and put another order through.
I checked apples recycle offer too and your right they do offer a better price for the iPhone 5 16gb, but then if the back cover of the phone has wear and tear like scratches, dents etc they reduce that £190 to £142 or something thereabouts. My phone has two tiny dings on the chamfered edge so I won't take the risk! even though I'd consider that normal wear.
At least with envirofone they consider conditions like that normal in their price promise and if they find your phone not to be in the condition you say, they'll to offer to post it back free of charge.
I want to see the pay monthly prices for the 2 year contracts on O2. How much are O2 gonna charge for the iPhone 6 on a, say £45 a month tariff?
I for one won't be forking out for a sim free iPhone 6 - too expensive!!!

complete set of muppets imo, my experience with them at the time of the iPhone 5 launch was awful when trying to sell my i4. My phone was immaculate and they gave me a really silly excuse to decline buying my phone after a whole day of inspection. YMMV.It'll be the 64GB iPhone 6 for me, now just to decide whether to get the gold or space grey...
I hope the preorders are at midnight, I'm in Canada so 8pm is far more sociable than 3am!

Since you put it like that and with the fleebay fees, it makes sense in a way...
I am going for iPhone 6 large 64gb space grey if I can get hold of one on contract either O2 or Vodafone or tesco mobile. Am waiting paitentily for the uk monthly tariffs.
It may have been just the orders then rather than pre-orders.
The question still stands, 00:01 or maybe even 8am? Order times have varied for iPhone's over the years.
