Hey all! So looking at getting the apple watch series 9 at some point. How would I transfer the mobile plan from the series 7 that I have now over to the series 9? Would I need to ring EE? Thanks.
With EE I find that the easiest option is to cancel the contract on your old watch and just start a new one on your new watch. The transfer process is as nightmare.
Was intending on keeping my 15 Pro for at least two years, but with the overheating issues I've cancelled my order and placed a new order for a shorter contract with an option to upgrade in 12 months for free with Sky. More expensive monthly payments for the next year but at least I know if it does turn out to be a real problem I only have to wait until next September to get the 16 Pro (assuming they've solved "big" issues for that model).
Does anyone know if you can now go into a store to purchase stuff, Apple Watch etc without needing to queue up, or have an appointment? Particularly in London.
Well if it’s a big issue they’ll have to fix the issue or replace phones that’s overheating so I’m not really worried. Just the hassle of returning it and waiting on another one to be delivered and all that crap
FYI my original 2-9 October order for iPhone 15 Pro 256gb natural titanium now says…

Technically you can and should be able to transfer it over without contacting EE but in practice it's not usually a smooth process and inevitably you have to call EE customer service. Last year when I switched from the Series 5 to the Ultra I had to call them and even then it wasn't east but I did manage to get it sorted.
It all depends what price plan you're on. They increased the Apple Watch add on price for cellular at one point. If you're on the older price and you cancel and restart then you might end up on the newer higher monthly price.
No you don't have to queue or make appointments anymore. It's been like that for a while now. You can just walk in and talk to any member of staff who is free and they will be able to assist you. I live in London and have been to the Brent Cross store several times in recent months.
Since I missed the pre order day and release day I’ve been trying to get hold of a white titanium PM. No luck. The reserve for pick up website is mostly loading at all time(blue circle).. when the page is loaded and try to proceed it just says sorry the service is currently unavailable. Even with the regular 15 models I can’t get pass to the next page it’s still service currently unavailable. What’s the best method to get a 15 pm ? Thanks guys..
Got my dispatch notification and tracking info for delivery today. 15PM, originally estimated for 2nd - 9th October. Happy with that!
The official black silicone case is £40 on Amazon for some reason while the others are still £50.
If I did that the price to go up because my price is locked in when EE introduced cellular for the watch. The transfer process is quite straightforward And I’ve done it every year… unpair your watch, keep the data plan, set up the new watch and when you get the 03 message, call EE and give them the new EID number and it’s normally all sorted within an hour
I also had the £5 contract until they (against my instruction) solved the migration by deleting my contract and adding a new on at £7. That required a tense phone call to resolve. Then another time they migrated me by adding a second contract and leaving the first running at the same time, so I was initially paying £12.
They are rubbish in my experience. I’ve done this about three or four times and they only ever got it right one time.
Well after days of indecision, I returned my launch day 128 Pro Blue for a 256 Pro Max Blue that I managed to snag with an in-store reservation. Only catch was I had to drive 2 and half hours to get it 🤣
First time with a Pro Max so hoping I can get used to the size and that I don’t regret it.
For those trying to reserve using the iUP page - keep trying. Most of the time it was just a spinning blue circle. For me, the stock I wanted appeared in the middle of the night. In other cases I saw the page go down at anywhere between 22:30-00:00 to midnight with a message saying come back at 6am. In reality that page came back up for me by 00:30.
