    Just got another email from CPW following up on my preorder. Had to choose my model phone and preferred store.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 217 ✭✭dazedandlost


    Preordered on O2 earlier and having seen the 20% discount received by some above, and being O2 Priority Moments member, called them to see if they could amend or cancel my order to allow me reorder.

    They advised me they couldn't cancel my order, and looked to give me a credit on my account, for the 20%

    When they checked the T&C they came back and said this offer should not be applicable to iPhone 6 and so they could not give this to me...

    Looks like anyone above who got the discount were lucky to do so

    Can't see anything in the T&C's that say it's not applicable to iPhone orders.

    May have been fobbing me off... But there was no way to cancel it, said if I didn't want it on delivery day not to sign it and then it would be returned and I could reorder
    Not going to bother changing my order now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,742 ✭✭✭Branoic


    I was speaking to O2 last week and was told the 20% was not available on iPhone. Those who got it today were definitely lucky

    Got that too.

    Had to choose a size and colour. I assume they know what model from the pre-order. Didn't get any further confirmation and after submitting it just said thanks for completing the surveymonkey survey... It better not have been just a survey!

    Been with O2 for 14+ years but their price plans just didn't match up to what other networks were offering.

    With a bumped upgrade the 16Gb iPhone 6 was €129 for a 24 month contract at €55pm. That gets me 4Gb data and unlimited calls and texts. Over 24 months that works out at €1449.

    Three had the same phone for €229 for 24 month contract at €40.66pm. That gets me unlimited data (and 4G free until end Nov) and 350 flexiunits. Over 24 months that's €1205.

    I'm a data user, rarely text (iMessage and Whatsapp instead) and don't call much <100 mins a month. So to me, a decent data package is key.

    Sorry to leave O2, as their customer care has been great over the year. But with their sale to Three, no reason to stay loyal.

    Now what cover will I get....

    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?

    Pre-ordered the 5 as a new customer and got it delivered to work on the launch day. As someone else mentioned, they sent the wrong SIMs with them so the phone was useless. They contacted everyone to send them the right SIM. I said to deliver it to work address when asked. They delivered it to my home address instead.
    When I eventually got it, the porting process didn't go smoothly either so I had the phone several days before I was able to use it.

    Hoping the 64GB iPhone 6 I just ordered as an upgrade goes a bit smoother. Having it delivered to work because I couldn't select the option to collect in store. Anyone else have that problem?

    all the customer care can't win you customers when you're plans are routed squarely in 2007.

    €70 for 10gb Internet :eek:, I get 15GB on Meteor for less than half that €30.

    Did they not look for a 50e booking fee. They did from me the jokers :)

    Wow. Wonder if they'll come back to anyone asking for more or stating an error.

    He would have preordered it last night like anyone else who ordered from CPW, a €50 refundable deposit was due..

    They sent an email around earlier with a link to a survey, where you specify the colour and model you want to preorder.

    I ordered a 128GB plus, but have a feeling those are going to be very limited indeed.

    Funnily enough the plan im on with O2 *is* from 2007. It was their very first iPhone plan and features unlimited data for 36 a month on an 18 month contract. Granted the minutes and texts are low (150 each) but I rarely use anywhere near that small amount.

    They keep calling me up at renewal time trying to get me to switch to a newer plan but I'm having none of it!

    My last bill:

    12 mins
    4 SMS

    Yah sure they did, but a refundable one. Ain't nobody getting an iPhone 6 without shelling out a chunk of euros.

    Fun times.

    Was in Vodafone store today, they said that they don't think there'll be any pre-orders for Vodafone, and they also don't expect to have any 6 pluses on launch date. Not sure if this is actual policy, or just what someone in store says, but there you go...

    One thing is certain about phone launches. Store employees are the last to know anything. I don't for a minute believe Europe's largest Telco will get a worse selection of stock than the likes of Three

    Suppose what store it was. Like id imagine the smaller village-like stores won't have many of the bigger models but id expect City stores (esp. Grafton street) to have at least one of each model.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,583 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    The reps in any carrier stores know nothing! In fact all they are doing is lowering expectations so people aren't disappointed when they don't have what customers want.

    How long is it likely to be before I can just walk into a shop without a pre-order and walk out of there on the same day with a 6 ?

    My local O2 in Malahide have a Facebook page and used to post when they got a delivery in but they'd be gone within the hour. Depending on which model could be anytime between now and the new year before stock will be available all the time id say.

    All depends on demand!

    Nice one. Might go into eMobile and put my name down Monday.
