Other UK iPhone (2017) X(Ten)/8/8+ Pre-Orders and Dispatch Thread

[CJM]

How are you reserving phones in store? I don't quite get it.

Quick question: what happens to your old iPhone when you take the sim out? Can you still use it, sort of like a glorified iPod Touch?

As long as you don’t erase it completely. As you will need to reactivate it to get it running

I'm getting worried that it hasn't changed from being at my local depot since 3AM now!

Has anyone had any updates from DPD?

Hey dude dunno if you seen but I kept the faith with Vodafone and they came through. Ordered Wednesday, got an email at 5am this morning with tracking info for delivery today! :O

Vodafone seem to have been pretty reliable this year!

That's brilliant well done. Yeah from what I have been reading Vodafone have been well organised. Let's see if DPD are now!

Anyone at Victoria Square in Belfast? What's the queue like?

 

[Knightcastle]

They are totally separate.
One is store stock - reservations
one is online stock. - Ireland

Preorders for store pick up is Ireland.

No I’m talking about online reservations made at pre-order stage vs online reservations made fresh from tomorrow.

I’m not foolish enough to think it’s a good idea to pull missed reservations out of stores and somehow use them to fulfill postal orders.

You'll get a text mine came through a few minutes ago, did you make sure that your phone number is up-to-date?

Yep the text just came through thanks . delivery between 1 and 2 ish today so a while to wait, but i guess that means i might actually be able to get some work done in the next few hours ;p
