Seems a bit silly. Especially if Meteor can get it to you on Friday.

Same with CPW.

Waiting for 3 to launch their prices before making my mind (may also look at emobile but their upfront costs based on their iPhone 5s are very expensive )

One of the few times I'll give O2 the benefit of the doubt, last 3 phones I've order from them have all arrived on the official release day.

I may take this back next week

Looking at the O2 plans, I'm not impressed. I think it might work out better to buy the phone outright and then pick up a PAYG SIM and use that. 3 do a good PAYG deal with their €20/month at the moment. I'm currently paying 40odd a month for 2Gb data and with 3 taking over o2 and likely switching over to o2's network soon, it shouldn't be a great change.

I just preordered with Meteor, I wasn't sure if they'd have different storage options, but they had the exact phone I was looking to get - iPhone 6 64GB Space Grey.

It didn't seem like a pre-order and more like a full billpay sign-up. I had to dig out a passport, work out an IBAN number which I'd never heard of before, find bank and credit card details, and it took a good 30 minutes until I completed the order.

I signed up to a Smart €39 plan, with €350 upfront. Just hoping I get approved now, been with Meteor years and never had any problems paying bills but I know the approval system can just reject you for no good reason. Still need to send in a passport scan and bank statement scan.

I just ordered the 64gb Space Grey 6 - €229 on 24 month contract, €55 a month.
Work cover my bills so that part is fine and I've agreed to sell my 5 to someone in work for €200.

Not a bad start to the day

Bit of a guide to 3's prices. They seem only to be available via the upgrade section though....



No 128gb plus available there.

Regarding the CPW online reservation - I dropped into a store today to clarify.

If you've paid your €50 deposit, your phone will be set aside at your designated store from any stock which is to be sold first-come-first-served. You then pick it up on Friday.

I told the guy we hadn't been given an option to choose a size, and he reckons we'll be contacted to clarify the order ahead of Friday. (He gave me his mobile number to call him Wednesday in case this doesn't happen).

So feeling more confident about this now.

Anybody fancy calling Vodafone to find out their story? Stuck at work so can't do it from here...

Thanks for that, just ordered a 64gb plus for my upgrade:D

Hopefully they will let you know before Friday morning if you have one for sure or not. That way you can still head somewhere else to get one if you don't.

Am with Three and eligible for upgrade. Finger hovering over the €179 for a 64gb iPhone 6 but want to switch to vodafone as I do a fair bit of international and roaming. Typical Voda is the only one not taking orders.

64gb plus on order from three

I dropped into one of their stores yesterday evening and the two bits of info I got were: they weren't taking names or preorders, and they didn't know when the plans would be announced.

Considering every other network has released plans and pre-orders I'd say they are loosing quite a few customers

Wonder when we can expect (if any) unwanted upgrades of the 6 on Adverts? I usually wait till Nov but will bite the bullet a few weeks earlier if any appear.

So did any one who "registered their interest" on O2's site over the last couple of weeks actually get any text or email notifications of the pre-orders? Or was that just a convenient way to get customers to opt in to a marketing spam email list?

I got an email at around 7.30 this morning.

Arctic89

Ordered as a new customer through 3's website this morning. Just got an e-mail confirming my order.

Does anyone with past experience know if this confirmation means they'll actually be able to ship it next Friday? Also what happens with porting my number over to 3?

Is that as a new customer on the 55 per month plan? It's coming up as 179 for me.

Got iPhone 4 and 5 from Three. iPhone 4 was delivered on the Saturday and iPhone 5 was delivered on the launch day. I expect you'll receive it next Friday. You'll probably get a text or email from DPD on the morning letting you know when to expect it.

Silly question but if you are upgrading from an iphone 4 to a 6/6+.Whats the story with the sim? Do you need to call to a store to get a different size one if keeping you number?

they should send a new nano sim with the phone, you then call them to activate the new sim on your number which will take a few hours.

When the 5 came out they screwed up the sims and sent micro sims with the phones. I just cut down my iPhone 4 micro sim to nano sim size with a scissors and it worked fine until they sent a replacement.

You call in and get a new sim, then activate it yourself online. They used to do it there and then but it's changed. Takes under 2 hours. Did it last week for my son when he upgraded to the 5.

anyone know if retail stores get a shipment / allowance independent of Online orders? 6 Plus models sold out on O2's website in no time. I'm wondering can I pre-order in store for one of their allotted models, or if its sold out online does that mean the stores won't be getting any of them either?

ohsomuchbetter

Preordered with O2 this morning and was just talking to an online advisor who told me I should be able to collect it on Saturday morning from O2 on Grafton Street which was my nominated store.

Branoic

Just got an email from O2 saying the 64GB Space Grey Plus was back in stock. Rushed to the website and ordered it. Phew!

AnthonyWalsh07
