If I'm going on 02 anyway is there any point spending the extra, and cant they be unlocked later?

I would also skip O2 and go sim fee directly form Apple.

2 reasons:
- you never now if they won't be annoying with you to unlock it ... If they are you'll be regretting not to have bough sim free.
- don't know o2's exact rules for unlocking but I guess at least you need to wait for a few months. It means you're locked in with them during that time (or whatever happens to them and their tariffs when Three really steps in - and three will have no interest in marking O2's offers competitive). Also if by chance you go abroad and want to buy a local simcard, you won't be able to.

These compromises might be acceptable for people getting a contract and a heavily subsidised phone - but on prepay I would not thing so.

Stephen, any idea when we are likely to get our phones. I ordered 64gb space grey on fri 19th. Would it have been any better with other colours? I didn't care about colour as I'll be keeping it in a case. Rep suggested space grey would be best, didn't say it would be the one in short supply. I am a new customer moving from vodafone. Starting to regret my decision now, I was due upgrade on vodafone and they seemed to have shipped without problems

Sorry , my post should have been on Three forum page

Finally found out today after ringing the O2 Dispatch Office that my phone never came in. In fact no 128GB preorders came in despite so many O2 reps telling us that it had come in and was on the way.

Furious.

Pre-ordered with Meteor on the 19th and they just told me my phone hasn't even left their warehouse yet. Really annoyed, to the point I'd like to cancel and order direct from Apple. What's the point in the pre-order If the phone doesn't arrive until 5 days later? Really bad service.

Why not go into a Meteor/3/Vodafone/whatever store and pick one up? I'd be surprised if there wasn't a few in stock in most stores.

I could of done that, I pre-ordered assuming all stock would be sold out. I could of easily walked in on Friday and walked out with the iPhone I wanted. But instead I had to go through a worse process online and I'm still left waiting. It's my first time going bill pay so I didn't know what to expect.

I complained about it but they haven't even replied. They've still got the worst customer service I've ever dealt with.

Myself and the wife's (Space Grey 64gb 6 plus and Gold 16gb 6) arrived this morning. Dying to get home now...

I ordered on preorder launch day, and she ordered the following wednesday, both with O2.

ohsomuchbetter

All kicking off on the O2 Online Community. They have no phones left in stock, even for those who bothered to preorder.

Absolutely disgraceful. The lies of O2 have gone on too long.

Have a look at the Three forum. Reps keep saying everyone is in a queue and phones are going in priority as stock allows.
One guy says he ordered two identical phones the same day, hours apart. The second phone came on launch day. Still waiting for the first phone. Reps aren't touching it with a barge pole.

Well anyone get good news yet? Like there iPhone has shipped, i would say it'll be Wed / Thurs before we see any movement.

DubDJ

Honestly can't believe my iPhone still hasn't shipped. I literally ordered the minute the pre-order went live with Meteor. I'm getting no reply from customer service and when I rang they just said email again. I got replays right up until I said I wasn't happy. All emails after that have been ignored.

ohsomuchbetter

Any of the O2 people that had their phone delivered on Friday - was the email you got with tracking info direct from O2 or from An Post? I got a mysterious An Post tracking email this evening but no idea what the item is and no indication! Just saying your delivery is on the way and I track it to Portlaoise at the moment en route to me.

I'm almost 100% sure its not the phone but then stranger things have happened.

While I certainly blame the networks for their bad handling, the responsibility of phones comes down to Apple really. I think maybe they launched too early in the other countries after first round of release - maybe should have waited until say this Friday or the next to allow some extra stock all over.

I got an email from the o2 online shop team with tracking details.

Ah so that throws that theory out the window. Must be something else. The saga continues...:rolleyes:

Does anybody know when the networks (I know O2 already have) will put the iPhone 6 on pay as you go?..how long after release was the 5s available on prepay?

Those aren't the correct prices. Just checked the 6 16GB/64GB and they're offering a fair bit less.

Feels like the 8th Oct - 10th Oct will never get here

Did you order the 6 or the plus? Ordering one tomorrow off Apple but not sure what to get. In favour of the 6 at the moment cause I think the plus is just too big for me. And itll take 2 weeks longer to ship ha

Space grey 6 plus 64gb, saw it in the flesh for the first time yesterday and it does look bigger than i expected, but im glad i chose it and say ill get used to it pretty quick

stuba

Where did you order it from?

Simply Red

Directly from apple as soon as it was released last week

ohsomuchbetter

Speaking to a friend of a friend who works for O2 just there and apparently Apple had promised them an allocation of iPhones which is why they sold them in preorder but when it came down to being delivered, they didn't get the allocation they were promised hence why so many people didn't get their phones. Apple also cannot give them any indication of when the next delivery might be or even what it will contain! Would have been better off just buying it on the Apple website last week!
