Has anyone from CPW actually been activated yet?
.
Three companies, one product, £249 shared between them - and as my iPhone quite rightly says ... "No Service."
As a tip to check if your phone is activated or not, rather than turning it on and off all the time, you can call it from another phone and if you're still not connected it'll say "the number you have called is not recognised, please check the number..."
Also, turning it to Airplane mode and back should make it start "searching" for service again as well, so no need to turn the phone off.
O2 said earlier that all their backlogs should be dealt with by end of business today. 6pm is end of business is it not? Still "No Service".
People I've set up a quick and dirty website to gather some information about our shared experiences. I'd be grateful if you'd contribute your own experiences, or even just leave your name and details of where and when you purchased:

O2 and CPW are making an absolute fortune from all our calls (and mostly 'holding') via 0870 numbers to them!

Guys, use saynoto0870.com to find alternative numbers. I very rarely call an 0870 or 0845 number these days.
It wins the award for worst site design but on the other hand it's got an impressive database of alternative numbers.
