Carrier iPhone 7/7+ EE ( UK ) Pre-Order Thread
- Thread starter Apple Mac Daz
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
I wouldn't mind so much if they were just upfront and gave an estimate time scale - I don't expect delivery tomorrow, but give me something!! A text the day before it gets sent, anytime between now and November really is an appalling customer propostiion!
I was just told by C/S that I'll get the phone by the 24th at the latest - possibly sooner.
Ordered a 7 Plus Jet Black 256GB at just after 8am via the Upgrades section of the EE website the day they went live, got email confirmation at 8.15am and my account debited at the weekend.
You have more than me - NO confirmation, NO money debited, the only thing I've got is a screen grab of the reference. Since then, NOTHING! SO frustrating
When I said List I was getting my Twitter terminology wrong, it's basically just a saved search. Makes for bad reading haha.

TBH, all the carriers are the same, I'm getting the same nonsense from Vodafone - they don't have a clue if, or when my order will be sent.
Think this has been the worst iPhone launch for a few years.

Kinda glad I didn't go for this plus hype this year, in two years, i'll maybe attempt it.
I was told they don't send confirmation emails as a company. End of. And they could confirm the order over the phone for me. Again something the guy disagreed with me about as I said I should have and was told I would receive a confirmation.
The normal 7's are definitely going to be available (albeit in small numbers, probably) in stores tomorrow.
I have a part time CPW job on a Saturday (for dem extra pennies!) to go with my normal weekly job and my manager just text saying we have 8 iPhone 7's 128gb in Rose Gold to sell.
That's it.
So there will be some. Is it bad that I'm so desperate for a phone tomorrow that I contemplated getting one for a split second when I have a black Plus on order.
The hype train is real.

I know. Just didn't want to argue with the guy as he was obviously making things up as he went along. As soon as I heard him talking to himself while trying to place an order on their site for my phone I knew this isn't going anywhere
He basically had an excuse for everything and didn't see a problem charging me £160 for the phone straight away even though according to him I'll have to wait 28 more days so 35 days in total.
Not acceptable at all.

A pre-order is this magical idea that exists in a world of possibility.
I'm sure the carriers are telling us overly optimistic things to keep us from cancelling. If they told the truth "we have no idea when you'll get your phone" we'd be storming the HQ with pitchforks tomorrow morning.
I am optimistic that Apple will be sending bi-weekly stock deliveries out as fast as they can make them and within a couple of weeks or so we'll all get our new handsets, but the uncertainty & lies is worse than the wait.

The key here Is communication
If they told us all the real deal then the number of phone calls would fall through the floor
