...hmm, I've thought long and hard about these style of wallet cases but came to the conclusion that although they offer the ability to carry all your stuff with you on the phone, they have 2 major faults:
1. Lose your phone, lose all your cards too
2. When holding up your phone to your ear to speak, your showing everyone else exactly what you have in your wallet.

Just ordered an XS Max 256 from EE on the £70 100Gig Max plan deal.
Got a text just now saying my order will be delivered on 21st by DPD
I’ll be handing back my X tomorrow and refunding my reserved Max 256.
That 100Gig data will save me a packet on hotel Wi-Fi, no brainer for me.
Was that online using a 20% discount code or on the phone? No upfront fee? Are you a new EE subscriber? Who are you handing back your X to?
No way I would buy that. I would be checking every 5 mins that the cards are still there...hmm, I've thought long and hard about these style of wallet cases but came to the conclusion that although they offer the ability to carry all your stuff with you on the phone, they have 2 major faults:

Agreed, I don’t carry cards, so no biggie.

I’m simply planning on using it as a case, no cards in it....hmm, I've thought long and hard about these style of wallet cases but came to the conclusion that although they offer the ability to carry all your stuff with you on the phone, they have 2 major faults:

£70/m for 100GB date on iPhone XS 256GB.
You'll 99% get it tomorrow. Apple haven't failed many people on release day.
I'm saying this, if you are desperately unlucky, don't come looking for me
I'm on a SIM only with EE at the moment with an iPhone X on the upgrade Program.
I saw the £70.00 deal on this forum and called them this morning.
I'll hand my X back to Apple and terminate the upgrade Program.
Yes, but the last time I dealt with UKMail, I got my phone delivered at 7:30ish pm. They were taking a mick for delivering my 6s to me that late.You'll 99% get it tomorrow. Apple haven't failed many people on release day.

Let us know how that goes. My take on the t&c’s is that if you want to pay up your IUP early you’ll need to settle the debt with Barclays. Don’t think you can just hand the phone to Apple and tell them to end it. Not that I’ve seen anyone try that though!
I was effectively late to the game then. I think it was about 7:50 when I opened the website.
Edit - no - I've just checked my emails and contract updates came through at 7:33, so looks like I was in the early batch!
That's a fair point, so I may need to settle the loan then sell my X
Or sell the X and settle. That’s what I’m planning on doing tomorrow. I’ll be ~£150 better off selling and settling rather then just handing it back to Apple. Idea tomorrow is to use the handset reserved for IUP upgrade as a new IUP plan. (Also to check out the max and seemed I’m tempted, stock dependant, to get one of those)
Mazuma are offering £600.00, I'm not sure what my balance will be (got it launch day last year, 256Gb)
Finally got my notification to say my XS Max will be ready for collection at 08:00 at the Birmingham store.
Woohoo!
Woohoo!
Just got an email from cpw, dispatched with dpd arriving tomorrow. 33 minutes after my order!
Try music magpie with code tech10 for 10% more. I secured £650 with them.
You’re 11 payments in so will have around 575 or so left. Also remember that amount includes any remaining AppleCare which you should also cancel and get refunded on.
24th-1st window UPDATE
Just got a call from the Fraud Squad at the bank. Apple tied to bill me this morning for the iPhone XS Max 512GB (gold).
New card onto the order and payment taken.
Looking at the order page, the delivery date is tomorrow, but is still in processing at the moment. Hoping that the payment gets through in the system in time ✌️
