I was comparing the cost of the new iPhone 6s 16GB on Mobile Phone Checker - https://www.mobilephonechecker.co.uk/Apple/iPhone+6s+Plus+16GB.htm
If you order by Total Contract Cost you see this awesome iD Mobile contract:
- 600 minutes
- 5000 texts
- 1GB
£79.99 upfront, £37.50 a month, total cost: £529.99.
That's £10 cheaper than the list price for the handset, so effectively a 12 month contract for free! Likely a misprice so grab quick!
£15 Quidco

£15.75 TopCashback.

Hot from me. It's cheaper than buying the phone outright from Apple and you get a semi decent allowance thrown in.
Those voting cold are clearly only doing so because it says apple in the title. Unless someone can post a cheaper deal of course.

Dear customers,
We would like to make it clear that we are honouring any orders placed for the iPhone 6s – on this deal or any others on our website – as long as customers pass the credit check.
Where customers have received an email saying that their card/bank details or address details are incorrect, they should receive a call from our sales team today or tomorrow. Due to the huge demand across the range of iPhone deals, there has been a technical fault with our order processing system, which led to these emails incorrectly being sent out.
Please be assured that we are still processing the pre-orders for these deals, and we’re contacting customers directly to confirm their order details.
While most customer orders have been processed without any issues, we apologise for any inconvenience or confusion that may have been experienced by a few customers.
Once the sales team has spoken to you to process your order, if you pass the credit check you will then receive an email to confirm that your order has been processed, and is awaiting stock. This email will have the subject line “Your Order Update” and will specifically say “Although the product you ordered is currently out of stock or on 'pre-order', we’re expecting it shortly, so it should be with you soon.”
If customers receive an email saying that they have failed the credit check, this means that we have processed their order, and unfortunately they didn’t have the credit score required for the deal they ordered. This email will have the subject “Order Cancelled” and will specifically say “Unfortunately you didn’t meet the credit check criteria required for the contract you requested.”
From time to time some customers will unfortunately not have the required credit score for certain deals and handsets. However, it may be that they will pass for alternative deals on SIM only or lower value phones. Customers are welcome to reapply for an alternative plan through the iD website.
If customers don’t receive either of these two emails, they can contact us by using our online contact form here: http://www.idmobile.co.uk/email-us

Even at £37.50 it's a decent deal if you can live with 1GB data.
£37.50 x 12 = £450
Plus £80 upfront = £530
Cheaper than buying outright
You get a mid usage sim with it
Pay the cost over 12 months.

Gone for the 64GB deal.
Works out £590
Was tempted by 16GB as that's what I have now and I still have 3.9 GB free. Considering iOS 9 should take up less space I probably could have got by with 16GB
Having a few regrets now but let's just see if this gets honoured
Oh and £15.75 TCB

12 Sep 151#21
I don't think this is a misprice, I reckon it's just a sweet deal where iD are trying to get people on their network whilst breaking even on the cost of the devices. I just hope it gets to the main page before they pull it because this is a great deal for the iFolk. Even if you were looking for a SIMO deal you could pick this up and sell the phone, you would probably end up getting a years deal for next to nowt. Shame I am not interested in iPhones and it's no way near enough data. Oh and I am in the middle of a 12 month SIMO :disappointed:

Which network do they piggyback
qiak
12 Sep 152#24
as with talkmobile CPW' other network
the monthly price is EX vat (tho very will hidden) go ask them if you like *from that out when i asked talk mobile then checked the hidden terms, on my new £7 pcm y330 from them, that im paying £8.40 for a month now with VAT, as couldnt be bothered to cancel under the cooling off period since i already sold the phone to cex to make it cheaper pcm
11.8 Unless otherwise stated, call prices are quoted by the minute and include VAT. Each call is charged excluding VAT and then rounded up to the nearest whole penny, each MMS or SMS is charged excluding VAT and then rounded up to the nearest tenth of a penny. VAT is then added where applicable and then rounded up to the nearest whole penny. An invoice including the rate of VAT charged and our VAT number can be provided upon written request for Post Pay customers (this may be chargeable).
so the real cost would be £79.99 up front, and a pcm of £45 (£37.50 + £7.50 vat) x 12 contract plan of £540. so total of £619 vs a cost of £539 direct from apple and £5 pcm (£60 for a year) for a giffgaff sim total £599, tho still not bad,
why to did i put so much effort in to this post to be questioned no doubt on the EX VAT, and picked on for spelling, oh well
---
oh and they will bill you by defeat £1.50 pcm for paper bills until your opt out, so another £18 a year if you dont bother to pay much notice to you DD
----
and so far you all fail to get it LOL
its a hidden change of VAT why its not easy to under stand the listed minutes and texts inculed vat unless otherwise stated (well the terms state is otherwise, so not false advening if they tho slyly tell you, and what do you think a month plan is if not call charges? it comes with 600 mins a month does it not, they are call that can be charged VAT under they terms LOL, and yes i agree its talking about the call charges to, that are in the PLAN with CALLS in the PLAN LMAO, so people need a brain so much
either way just a heads up make of it what you want to
or go ask them on facebook about they plans (or go thu talk mobiles old posts to find when i asked talk mobile about they VAT added billed i got on around the end of last month) and the sly vat worked carefully in to them, oh no dont it did that for you 15 mins ago,
how look ill just draw you a PICTURE, tho you still wont get it,
talkmobile have this policy on VAT, they CPW no doubt ID mobile do to
ok ill explain the PICTURE for you then maybe draw you a picture of a picture?
the listing is at the top £7 PCM, i added my bill below that (or i cant put two pictures together its more likely that talkmobile show every one a bill on the listing page OMG @ moron), just as the same will be true with the listed iphone £35.50, but your bill with be £45
----
and just for a lesson on math to, tho it will get the added VAT but you all ignored that warning so i will give numbers with out it,
37.50 x 12 + 79.79 (529.99) is more that
41.50 x 12 + 29.99 (527.99)
ok by £2 but still lol

That seems to be Pay as you go tariffs. Tbh if they start charging more then it's false advertising and the T&Cs of the contract haven't been sent to anyone. What you've quoted seem like an overview on the website.

Free fraud risk with every contract which they might tell you about, too late.
Their handling / transparency regarding the data breach means I'm out.
loofer
12 Sep 15#36
From what I understand that's fairly normal. The price of calls outside of your allowance are quoted inclusive of VAT.
The individual calls might be billed pre-VAT and then VAt applied at the end.
No mention of anything to do with line rental/package price excluding VaT in those T&Cs you've quoted there
So noticed you added further info to your post. The image you provide shows the breakdown of monthly cost with added VAT. ID mobile do not show this breakdown, so yes talk mobile add VAT but they tell you. There is a complete difference in saying they don't tell you as they clearly have from the image you've provided.

Will these handsets be locked to the network?
Rebellion to megaminx
13 Sep 15#86
No guarantees but as people are saying this piggybacks on the 3 network then it should be unlocked (as with all iphones purchased after 1 January 2014 from 3). You can always cancel during the cooling off period if not.
However, its likely that if it isn't unlocked then you simply need to connect the iPhone to iTunes and restore the device to unlock it (as is standard on 3 network).

It is only a £45 saving on the RRP but thats actually excellent as we usually don't get any deals

I'm starting to hope it's a misprice and won't be honoured now
bigtam1 to ash2786

People who have bad experiences can't wait to tell others etc, those with good experiences probably haven't bothered to write reviews. So if you go by reviews this'll help otherwise ignore and see what happens

I have the 16gb, whilst the 64gb would be nice it's cheaper for me to pay £9.50 per year and have the iCloud storage for all the photos/videos. the iPhone will store low res versions of the old images on your phone and as soon as you want to view them in full res it downloads them.

Likewise. TCB tracked too. Doesn't look too good when they've got question marks instead of apostrophes.
Either way, if it gets cancelled then there's always a good chance of still getting the cashback. I've lost count how many times cashback has been paid out even though the original order was cancelled.

It is a really good deal, but remember there is no tethering allowed at all on ID network, might be a deal breaker for some people.

I've never quite understood this.
So any photos you have backed up to iCloud still remain on your device, albeit in low resolution?
So if you decide to view that photo on your device, are you viewing hi res or low res version?
dav465
13 Sep 15#119
@loofer - depending on the settings you can have a low resolution image stored on your phone or the original one.
When you view the Low res one it will temporarily download the original copy of it for you to view!

So you can't permanently move photos off your device by backing them up to iCloud and making space on the iPhone?

About the 1gb and 600 mins which some criticise as limiting for a phone like this. Anyone who wants blistering price/performance and expects to eat data for breakfast, go elsewhere. The lady in my life got an iPhone 6 as soon as it appeared. Lovely to type on and reading the screen easy on the eyes. Easy to use and configure even for non tech folks. For people with handbags to slip this size of phone into, the screen size is a no brainer. 16gb is fine so long as no epic music or photo collections are planned. Also makes for a cracking satnav.

i agree, should start at 64gb especially with the 4k ability on this version. 16gb useless
This is crazy for 64gb phone. Buy from Apple for £619 outright, but spread the cost over 12 months like this deal and you are looking at £55.57 per month total £666.82 vs this deal at £590 over 12 months. Its a no brainer.
ChampionshipManager to bubbablue
13 Sep 152#134
The biggest no brainer is not to buy it. For example you can buy a Samsung Galaxy S6 with 32GB for 370 bones or Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge with 64GB for 495 bones (Amazon). Both are cheaper than the Apple 16GB model, which by the way is unusable (I have one).
Rossmor40 to bubbablue

Personally I'd agree with this the top Android phones like the S6 are twice as good as the IPhone and half the price sim free. However no matter how technologically advanced Android is over iOS it's all down to personal preference.

I wouldn't personally buy a 16GB or less phone irrespective of IOS or Android. However 16GB is perfectly useable, it solely depends on what you use the phone for.

I know, is really annoying when I paid £700 of my own money for a phone, and then paid EE £15 a month in top up payments that I can't use it how I want without paying them another £9 to unlock it. I have now jumped on the Android bandwagon!!

thanks OP, I went for the 128gb version as you can't add an sd card later if you run out of space. As for the tarriff having only 1gb of data I'm not worried as it's what I have now. at the end of the day it is only a 12 month contract and your essentially getting the service 'free' when compared to buying it outright from apple so can't complain about it really.

Why do you think it is a misprice? The figures were too precise in terms of the cost of the handsets for it not to be a genuine offer imo.

The S6 is not twice as good as the iPhone, unless you can show me a holistic metric demonstrating this spurious information that I've obviously overlooked.

Exactly. I'm on a note 3 (from a deal 2 years ago :smile: ) and it is great but I want a change. I doubt either brand is better than the other

iPhone has a really good resale value. I have just checked the price to cash in an iPhone 6 64GB. You can get around £300. Possible more if you shop around.
If you bought your phone from Apple originally you would have paid £619. Effectively you are paying £319 for using your phone for 1 year. For a latest phone of Apple's calibre, that is pretty good in my eyes and is one reason i'm moving from S3 to iPhone.

Two reasons it was a misprice:
1. The overall cost including the minutes, texts and data was less than the cost price of the phone.
2. The price went up by £150+ this morning.

I think they will be honored without issue, I am sure that those who have ordered will get their devices. It was just a really good way to get people to move to iD and they are bound to break even as all the overexcited iFolk will likely go well over 1gb per month :smiley:
karlie88
13 Sep 15#184
Exactly! If they're clever they'll honour it - several thousand new customers to a relatively new network would be priceless for them. And as you say, I'm sure they'll claw their money back from overcharges and from customers staying on after their 12 months are up.

Although they (iD mobile/CPW) might get stung as there are probably some buyers on here who have no intention of using the sim and will just destroy it or hand it to their old folks (low usage) and diarise an entry for 11 months time to cancel contract . The joy being that some of us have got a minor discount on the iPhone 6s and can pay in instalments too.

To find out what the status of my order is - I haven't received any confirmation that I've passed their credit check and that the order is therefore confirmed. And they haven't taken any money from my account.
loofer
14 Sep 151#198
I think that's the position most of us are in.
I had one original email immediately after placing the order... that was just a welcome and acknowledgement of my order. Then I had a second email just stating that the phone is either out of strock or on pre-order and they will credit check and subsequently debit my card in due course.
Nothing further so it's just a case of sit quiet and wait.
They've come in this morning to probably thousands of orders placed. Someone in a higher pay grade will make the call weather they should bite the bullet and honour the deal or send a sorry email out.
I think they will only carry out credit checks and debit the accounts once they know what stock of iPhones they can secure. Unlikely they will do a credit check and charge debit cards until they know that info otherwise people will be complaining if this was done and they still had to wait weeks for iPhone due to stock shortgaes

This whole thing is very dubious. I phoned them to ask exactly why my order has been cancelled as my credit score is very good. They told me that I passed the credit check for the contract but not the phone?!?
Then couldn't give me any further answer apart from the web team were handling it but wouldn't put me through to them.
If it was a glitch and they cancelled but were transparent about not honouring it thats fair enough but to reject me even though my credit check has passed is very suspicious.

New spin on the cancellation emails from CPW.
Always used to be "failed credit check" but now moved onto "incorrect details entered".
Filling the gap is "order never existed" from the call centre staff.

I like others would really not mind if they just said they made a misprice ! But behaviour like this means I would never get a contract from them now and will very much advise others the same

Only problem is the deal has been removed from the website and if you call them they will probably deny it ever existed and say you are mistaken.

I am not holding my breath after all these comments. Why do they have to word this so cleverly? Why can't they come out and say it that it was a mistake.
I've been monitoring their twitter feed but they are keeping this low key.
On another note, they can't deny the deal existed as it's on the confirmation email! As for the "details incorrect" syndrome, that means nothing.
I ordered on Sunday but have had no phone call back (only the 2 confirmation e-mails). Time to look for another deal me thinks.

It can only help back you up if you try to get the original deal. I don't want to **** on your chips but from genuine past experiences trying to have cancelled CPW orders honoured I will say it may well be a struggle. Go for it anyway, what do you have to lose?

Wow....
Right just called I'D. Just as the phone started ringing I received an email about my order being cancelled due to wrong information being entered.
The first phone call I was passed to 4 different people, after 12 minutes I was cut off.
Called back and the agent said they need to ask the management regarding online orders. I was told to wait 2 hours for a response. Boy you guys were not kidding about this company.
Hopefully I won't be charged an upfront fee and I'm just so glad the order has not gone through. I can't imagine calling their customer service (if that's what you want to call it) for the next 12 months.
Guys don't get your hopes up its not going to happen...

Here is the exact text of the email i got this morning. It's total garbage.
Sorry, but we’ve had to cancel your order reference: , as some of the info you entered was incorrect. It could have been any of these reasons:
Card/Bank Details – The card and bank details you give should be registered under your own name. Also, your billing address needs to be the same as your delivery address.
Invalid Delivery Address – We can only deliver to your billing address for security reasons. There are also some addresses that we can’t deliver to, such as halls of residence or overseas addresses.
Too many plans ordered – We currently only allow each customer to have a maximum of two iD plans at any one time.
Existing Mobile Number Required – We need this as part of our credit checks, so please make doubly sure you enter your valid mobile number.
As the order was cancelled, we haven’t taken any payment out of your account.
Please can you make sure you’ve got all the information above to hand, and then place the order again on our website.
Once again, sorry we had to cancel your last order – we’ll process your new one as soon as we receive it.

I have this morning received my cancellation email for my iPhone 6s 64GB pre-order from the weekend - My 1st confirmation email arrived at 00:51 on Sunday morning with the order update arriving at 08:50 on Sunday morning.
Like so many here the reason given is "some of the info you entered was incorrect"
I know for sure the first three are not the reason which only leaves the lack of mobile number as the reason, which is interesting as nowhere on their web order form do they ask for a mobile number. They ask for, and I gave them, a 'Daytime phone'.

I don't get why people are even wasting their time to try and get them to honour the clear misprice? Especially those that got cancellation emails.
Email them, phone them, write them a strongly worded letter, sue them etc. You won't get anywhere; you'll only be wasting your time (as demonstrated by some people phoning them already).
They're a multi-million pound company and they're cancelling orders - doesn't matter what excuse they spout about incorrect details, failing credit checks etc.
Move on people.

If it was a 'clear misplace' then why don't ID Mobile simply say so? They are making the matter much worse by telling customers "some of the info you entered was incorrect" or you failed the credit check or you didn't give us a valid mobile number so we can't sell you a mobile phone.
Frankly, I'd be happy to see people give this company a taste of their own medicine.

16 Sep 156#321
Dear customers,
We would like to make it clear that we are honouring any orders placed for the iPhone 6s – on this deal or any others on our website – as long as customers pass the credit check.
Where customers have received an email saying that their card/bank details or address details are incorrect, they should receive a call from our sales team today or tomorrow. Due to the huge demand across the range of iPhone deals, there has been a technical fault with our order processing system, which led to these emails incorrectly being sent out.
Please be assured that we are still processing the pre-orders for these deals, and we’re contacting customers directly to confirm their order details.
While most customer orders have been processed without any issues, we apologise for any inconvenience or confusion that may have been experienced by a few customers.
Once the sales team has spoken to you to process your order, if you pass the credit check you will then receive an email to confirm that your order has been processed, and is awaiting stock. This email will have the subject line “Your Order Update” and will specifically say “Although the product you ordered is currently out of stock or on 'pre-order', we’re expecting it shortly, so it should be with you soon.”
If customers receive an email saying that they have failed the credit check, this means that we have processed their order, and unfortunately they didn’t have the credit score required for the deal they ordered. This email will have the subject “Order Cancelled” and will specifically say “Unfortunately you didn’t meet the credit check criteria required for the contract you requested.”
From time to time some customers will unfortunately not have the required credit score for certain deals and handsets. However, it may be that they will pass for alternative deals on SIM only or lower value phones. Customers are welcome to reapply for an alternative plan through the iD website.
If customers don’t receive either of these two emails, they can contact us by using our online contact form here: http://www.idmobile.co.uk/email-us

Following the comment above by @IDmobile I tried using the online contact form mentioned at http://www.idmobile.co.uk/email-us however that form has a required field of 'Which iD Mobile number are you contacting us about?'. So the form returns 'You did not complete the id_mobile_number field'.
Next I used the ID Mobile number listed on their website, which was also in the IDmobile post above until it was removed, 0333 003 7777 which repeatedly asks for the ID Mobile number that this calls relates to. Eventually I am given an option for Sales which I select.
I started by offering my order ref number but the ID Mobile agent wanted my Surname, my first name, my post code, my 1st line of address, date of order, bank used for Direct Debit, and finally which model phone I ordered.
Once I had given him all the information he required (now six minutes into call) he launched into a script about how the iPhone 6S is on pre-order at the moment so I would .... I know that but I just what to check the status of my order so I asked if he could confirm my order number to which he said he can't see that on his system as he is Customer Services and only Sales have that.
I told him I had pressed 1 for Sales but he didn't know why I had gone through to Customer Services but agreed to transfer me.
When I got through to Sales I had to again go through all the above info re Name, Address, Post Code, Bank etc and when I offered my Order Ref number the Sales agent said it was not a valid reference number as all their numbers began 34. How did I place the order / via the ID Mobile website/ But this is Carphone Warehouse he said and so we can't access the ID Mobile sales.
Do you have a number for ID Mobile Sales, I asked - yes he said 0333 003 7777. I looked at my phone and replied that is the number I am speaking to on now.

This matter should be taken to Ofcom as more than one customer is affected with false information.
Problems including:
total loss of coverage
poor coverage

restricted service
mobile too slow
installation delayed or incorrect
refusal to provide service
As idmobile is providing incorrect information and refusing to provide service on the agreed terms while placing order, we can take this up with ofcom regulator

Referral to the Ombudsman Service: Communication
iD is a member of the Telecommunications Ombudsman Scheme. This is an independent service that tries to resolve complaints where customers and communication companies can't come to an agreement.
In the rare event where we have not been able to agree a resolution within 8 weeks of your initial complaint, the Ombudsman can look into your complaint for you.
They will not look into the complaint before 8 weeks, unless you have been issued a ‘deadlock letter’. This is a letter from us detailing the complaint you have raised and our final response. If we're still working on a solution, expect to resolve the complaint or recognise that your complaint falls outside the Ombudsman’s responsibilities we won't send a deadlock letter. These letters are only issued in cases where we’ve fully reviewed your complaint and our handling of your complaint throughout, and are still unable to reach an agreement with you.
You can contact the ombudsman as follows:

Same here. Pretty sure that none of the listed reasons applies, as ordered Vodafone and O2 deals recently without any issue. Also have not yet received any calls from ID, so not sure if their words are trust worthy.
If they are not brave enough to dishonour the deal, they should not use excuses such as the customer's faults! That's just LOW!
Also their CS seems to be one way only - we might call you back, but please do not bother us!
If it was not this deal, I would not have known ID Mobile. They may be million-pound company, but they play like a bogus.

It could be a wind up but seems an awful lot of effort for someone to go to. I have the same emails as you and personally I am just going to play the wait and see game. If nothing has happened by close of play Friday then I will assume the info posted in that post here is incorrect.
In some ways I should not be surprised about the service being poor, this is Dixons Carphone after all which in it has PC World, currys, Carphone and KnowHow all of which I have had bad experiences with in the past, to top it off they are using 3 which don't have the best rep for CS either! .

Guys, keep your hopes up.
I ordered on 12th, received "your order has been cancelled" email on 14th, phoned them up to ask what's wrong with my order. The only answer was that my order has been DELETED, and no reason was given. Been through 30-40mins of nonsense waiting and got my phone calls transferred to the wrong department. I was so fed up and decided I should just forget all these.
Guess what, I received a phone call from id mobile just now saying there was error on their system but is now fixed and my credit check has passed even though I was told I submitted wrong information before! My order has gone through successfully.
Now I'll be looking forward to next week and hope they will deliver the phone on launch day.

The plot thickens...
Like many others I ordered on the weekend and then the following sequence of events...
First email acknowledging order
2nd email to say the phone was on pre-order and will progress to credit check soon
3rd email to see incorrect details or credit check failed... Essentially the order has been cancelled
I tweet ID Mobile to complain asking for specific reason, they ask for order details via DM. I provided this but never heard back
Today I get a call from 01509 area code claiming to be from ID mobile, they mentioned the order needs completing, took payment detail but I got them to confirm the details of the deal. All done.
Less than 2 mins later, I get a call from an 0203 number claiming to be from CPW order verification team. Asks a load of security questions and confirms the handset... And then confirms the order. That second call seemed a bit dubious but let's see what happens.

18 Sep 15#397
All you can do is ring them or email them. If you failed the credit check you might want to think about why you failed it as well.It could be setting simple, Sometimes if you haven't been at an address for long enough or you got a date wrong when asked how long with your bank and that kind of thing. Unfortunately you have probably missed this deal but it's worth checking your credit reports before you try for something else.

Update on my order.
Was cancelled Tuesday AM due to failing *credit check*. Basically gave up at that point until some people said last night they emailed yesterday and got some sort of success. So I dropped them an email last night with my order number.
Just received a call to confirm details and he said I'll get contacted by DPD closer to the 25th about my 6S. I'll also get an email soon to confirm my order + a call shortly related to payment for the handset. I did say that my order was cancelled on Tuesday so was a bit surprised. His reply was that their was system issues and orders are being re-processed so mine is OK.
Edit 2: Decided to ring them 30mins later (to double check). They said my order is fine, it's not cancelled. Expected delivery date is the 25th. + Got a reply to last nights email at the same time stating my order isn't cancelled. So that's 3 different things saying It's ok

Well I joined the realms of Twitter just to be able to speak to them. DM'd them my details & they just came back & said my order was cancelled. So no such good news for me. Have decided to message them on Facebook too, just in case it's a case of it depends who you speak to!! Likely to give up after this.

Thanks, it was just out of the blue. The only communication I had before just now was the 2 order confirmation email and subsequent cancellation email due to incorrect details. I didn't see the point in phoning them and just waited as other peoples experiences have been less than stellar. No luck for you then?

Just had my phone call!! Phew!! Don't know if my messages to them gave them a nudge or not. Guy on the phone said I'd get an email confirmation. I've just received an email saying they're 'still processing my order' - not quite a confirmation but still acknowledgment that it's no longer cancelled at least.

Try dropping them an email? That's all you can do really. It looks like people were rejected wrongly a few days ago who are now being told everything is ok. If you genuinely made a mistake on your order then I'd imagine there's little you can do now.

Best thing is to contact them via their complaints form, Twitter, or Facebook.
Despite being far from the best for communication I have to say at least they have responded to my email and twitter message.
Good luck

Have you linked them to the iD mobile rep who posted on here?
I DMed via Twitter - had a phone call a few hours later to confirm order, pass credit check, take payment etc. Confirmed delivery of next Friday.
Essentially paying on negative interest over 12 months, no silly queueing at an Apple store etc.

Right, looks like more and more people are finally getting the deal honoured. for those that get their iPhone on release day, it would help other to know if you managed to find out if the device locks to the first sim or works with any SIM.
Let's hope we're not back here again in 30 days complaining that teh first bill is wrong... hehe
nectar to loofer
20 Sep 15#412
It is unlocked but locks to the first sim you put in - that's the official line from them. Have to say their customer service on Twitter is quite good.
Yes my suspicion on their lack of confirmation emails and details is that they will start us all off on the plan that is live on their site now, and we will have to go through complaints to get them to honour the deal we actually signed up for (if you notice the order confirmation emails did not have mins/texts/data details).
karlie88
20 Sep 15#413
I don't think they can do that - the chap on the phone confirmed several times '12 monthly payments of £37.50'. Otherwise, I'll be going to trading standards.
With regards to unlocking the phone, are we able to do that at the end of our contract? I can't see any information on the iDMobile website...
ukryan
20 Sep 15#414
ID network runs on Three doesn't it? Three unlock iPhones for free so not sure what's going to happen. I thought I'll just whack my current Three sim in, connect to iTunes which will say phone unlocked, then put the iD network sim in. Not sure if that's going to work?

20 Sep 15#415
we will find out when the account details come through I guess? My order cofirmation is a bit on the vague side about what the deal includes anyway.

20 Sep 15#417
Although I git them to confirm over the phone, it still isn't proof unless they recorded the call. I've the following screenshot but again it doesn't prove this was the deal that was accepted by them when I ordered.
Also, I think Three only unlock phones that were bought directly through them, though I could be wrong.
If you use O2 then you might be ok unlocking from Jan/Feb
karlie88 to loofer
20 Sep 151#420
The main proof is the first confirmation email (subject - 'thank you for your order'). It confirms all your personal details, account details and contract length/phone/price etc.
Just a little unsure with regards to unlocking the phone at the end of the contract. I know that an unlocked phone will attract a higher premium when it comes to resale - not so much when it's locked. I guess time will tell...
loofer
20 Sep 15#418
Make a complaint via Twitter (publicly) mentioning your order. They should hopefully respond by asking for DM and following you

OK just found out the answer to my own question in the T&Cs sent to me:
'Devices which can be used to access the Services may be locked to our network. The software in the devices and all intellectual property rights in that software is owned or licensed by the manufacturer and you are being allowed to use the software on a limited licence from the manufacturer. Following the Minimum Period, if your device is locked and you want it to be unlocked from our network, you can contact us on 0333 003 7777 between 8am-8pm every day of the week and we can help to arrange for your device to be unlocked (where we are able to) in an authorised manner (which may include replacing your device with an unlocked device, which is the same or similar specification to your device).'
No mention of a charge.

Hmm, I wonder if you you offered to pay the full 12 months line rental up front £450 (£37.50 x 12) they would make an exception?!
nectar
20 Sep 15#423
Thats quite handy then if they will unlock it.
It all just seems so vague, I would have expected some documents through the post...maybe that will be with the phone. Or confirmation of DD set up. When I was on the phone the guy was very reluctant to send me any confirmation email for my payment or my deal.
Bit of a blind leap of faith at the moment!

Facebook messaged them last week and they said they would look into it. Still hadn't heard anything to tweeted them this morning and they then replied on facebook to tell me everything seems to be ok with my order (having received two cancellation emails last week) - still haven't received confirmation of this and no money has been debited so asked them to email me confirmation. Will be chuffed if I actually get the phone but what a mess this has all been!!!

I don't think they will honour this deal or maybe some of us will get lucky because they are treating each customer differently some are getting phone calls emails Twitter message but no confirmation yet let's hope they give to everyone that ordered my one is rather odd I got email confirmation then a email to say out of stock but it will get processed when in stock then I get credit check failed I have had no calls or emails I called them ID mobile it goes to sales team they put me through to custermer service which is Car

If you order by Total Contract Cost you see this awesome iD Mobile contract:
- 600 minutes
- 5000 texts
- 1GB
£79.99 upfront, £37.50 a month, total cost: £529.99.
That's £10 cheaper than the list price for the handset, so effectively a 12 month contract for free! Likely a misprice so grab quick!
£15 Quidco

£15.75 TopCashback.

Those voting cold are clearly only doing so because it says apple in the title. Unless someone can post a cheaper deal of course.
We would like to make it clear that we are honouring any orders placed for the iPhone 6s – on this deal or any others on our website – as long as customers pass the credit check.
Where customers have received an email saying that their card/bank details or address details are incorrect, they should receive a call from our sales team today or tomorrow. Due to the huge demand across the range of iPhone deals, there has been a technical fault with our order processing system, which led to these emails incorrectly being sent out.
Please be assured that we are still processing the pre-orders for these deals, and we’re contacting customers directly to confirm their order details.
While most customer orders have been processed without any issues, we apologise for any inconvenience or confusion that may have been experienced by a few customers.
Once the sales team has spoken to you to process your order, if you pass the credit check you will then receive an email to confirm that your order has been processed, and is awaiting stock. This email will have the subject line “Your Order Update” and will specifically say “Although the product you ordered is currently out of stock or on 'pre-order', we’re expecting it shortly, so it should be with you soon.”
If customers receive an email saying that they have failed the credit check, this means that we have processed their order, and unfortunately they didn’t have the credit score required for the deal they ordered. This email will have the subject “Order Cancelled” and will specifically say “Unfortunately you didn’t meet the credit check criteria required for the contract you requested.”
From time to time some customers will unfortunately not have the required credit score for certain deals and handsets. However, it may be that they will pass for alternative deals on SIM only or lower value phones. Customers are welcome to reapply for an alternative plan through the iD website.
If customers don’t receive either of these two emails, they can contact us by using our online contact form here: http://www.idmobile.co.uk/email-us
£15 Quidco too!

£37.50 x 12 = £450
Plus £80 upfront = £530
Cheaper than buying outright
You get a mid usage sim with it
Pay the cost over 12 months.
I say it's hot
Those voting cold are clearly only doing so because it says apple in the title. Unless someone can post a cheaper deal of course.
£15 Quidco too!
£37.50 + £139.99
can't see it for £35.50
Cheaper than buying outright.
Works out £590
Was tempted by 16GB as that's what I have now and I still have 3.9 GB free. Considering iOS 9 should take up less space I probably could have got by with 16GB
Having a few regrets now but let's just see if this gets honoured
Oh and £15.75 TCB
the monthly price is EX vat (tho very will hidden) go ask them if you like *from that out when i asked talk mobile then checked the hidden terms, on my new £7 pcm y330 from them, that im paying £8.40 for a month now with VAT, as couldnt be bothered to cancel under the cooling off period since i already sold the phone to cex to make it cheaper pcm
11.8 Unless otherwise stated, call prices are quoted by the minute and include VAT. Each call is charged excluding VAT and then rounded up to the nearest whole penny, each MMS or SMS is charged excluding VAT and then rounded up to the nearest tenth of a penny. VAT is then added where applicable and then rounded up to the nearest whole penny. An invoice including the rate of VAT charged and our VAT number can be provided upon written request for Post Pay customers (this may be chargeable).
so the real cost would be £79.99 up front, and a pcm of £45 (£37.50 + £7.50 vat) x 12 contract plan of £540. so total of £619 vs a cost of £539 direct from apple and £5 pcm (£60 for a year) for a giffgaff sim total £599, tho still not bad,
why to did i put so much effort in to this post to be questioned no doubt on the EX VAT, and picked on for spelling, oh well
---
oh and they will bill you by defeat £1.50 pcm for paper bills until your opt out, so another £18 a year if you dont bother to pay much notice to you DD
----
and so far you all fail to get it LOL
its a hidden change of VAT why its not easy to under stand the listed minutes and texts inculed vat unless otherwise stated (well the terms state is otherwise, so not false advening if they tho slyly tell you, and what do you think a month plan is if not call charges? it comes with 600 mins a month does it not, they are call that can be charged VAT under they terms LOL, and yes i agree its talking about the call charges to, that are in the PLAN with CALLS in the PLAN LMAO, so people need a brain so much
either way just a heads up make of it what you want to
or go ask them on facebook about they plans (or go thu talk mobiles old posts to find when i asked talk mobile about they VAT added billed i got on around the end of last month) and the sly vat worked carefully in to them, oh no dont it did that for you 15 mins ago,
how look ill just draw you a PICTURE, tho you still wont get it,
talkmobile have this policy on VAT, they CPW no doubt ID mobile do to
ok ill explain the PICTURE for you then maybe draw you a picture of a picture?
the listing is at the top £7 PCM, i added my bill below that (or i cant put two pictures together its more likely that talkmobile show every one a bill on the listing page OMG @ moron), just as the same will be true with the listed iphone £35.50, but your bill with be £45
----
and just for a lesson on math to, tho it will get the added VAT but you all ignored that warning so i will give numbers with out it,
37.50 x 12 + 79.79 (529.99) is more that
41.50 x 12 + 29.99 (527.99)
ok by £2 but still lol
scroll down the age more ftw
Total Costs (including VAT) £139.99
£37.50 per month
Their handling / transparency regarding the data breach means I'm out.
The individual calls might be billed pre-VAT and then VAt applied at the end.
No mention of anything to do with line rental/package price excluding VaT in those T&Cs you've quoted there
However, its likely that if it isn't unlocked then you simply need to connect the iPhone to iTunes and restore the device to unlock it (as is standard on 3 network).
Wonder if these are unlocked?? Hope so
It is only a £45 saving on the RRP but thats actually excellent as we usually don't get any deals
http://www.s21.com/id-mobile.htm
I'm starting to hope it's a misprice and won't be honoured now
:wink:
You also get the benefit of paying for the same phone monthly and also a SIM thrown in too
This happened to me with the 5S also (diff company) they were a total joke and did't honour my order
What's (slightly) worrying is the sheer amount of negative reviews for iD mobile, within such a short space of time and with a small client base.
+++ You can still get the 64gb model. Just search for iPhone 6S, it's about 20 items down. It lets you order :smiley:
As above.. wait for the iphone 7
Only Apple store bought iPhones aren't locked.
All prices are inclusive of VAT at the current rates and are correct at the time of entering information. However, we can change prices without giving prior notice. Please check the website for up to date pricing before you place your order.
1gb of data.........?!
what's the point of buying a next gen mobile if you have these basic foundations. it's like buying a Ferrari and never passing 20 mph. not voting either way, but I don't see the point. better off saving a bit more and go for much much more.
http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/sep/10/why-apple-should-not-be-selling-16gb-iphone-6s-6s-plus
The product you ordered is currently out of stock or on 'pre-order', but don?t worry ? we?re expecting it shortly, so it should be with you soon.
Either way, if it gets cancelled then there's always a good chance of still getting the cashback. I've lost count how many times cashback has been paid out even though the original order was cancelled.
So any photos you have backed up to iCloud still remain on your device, albeit in low resolution?
So if you decide to view that photo on your device, are you viewing hi res or low res version?
When you view the Low res one it will temporarily download the original copy of it for you to view!
So you can't permanently move photos off your device by backing them up to iCloud and making space on the iPhone?
http://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Apple-iOS-Forum/Unlocked-iPhone-purchased-from-Apple-has-locked-to-T-mobile/td-p/87042
Lots of literature out there does suggest that apple purchased iPhones should be unlocked but that isn't always the case it seems.
http://kenstechtips.com/index.php/apple-iphone-when-sim-free-doesnt-mean-unlocked
I wouldn't personally buy a 16GB or less phone irrespective of IOS or Android. However 16GB is perfectly useable, it solely depends on what you use the phone for.
64GB was £589.99 over 12 months - now it's £761.99.
Can't see them honouring this...
Hey , if you delete the photo from your phone it is also deleted from iCloud.
I haven't used it but it does tempt me. Meant to be like 80-90% efficient in saving space so photos take up a lot less room.
It's not the biggest misprice ever but still a nice one - there's a small chance this may still be honoured. Let's try and keep those odds alive...
In any case, this was a great deal. Good luck to those who jumped in!
If you bought your phone from Apple originally you would have paid £619. Effectively you are paying £319 for using your phone for 1 year. For a latest phone of Apple's calibre, that is pretty good in my eyes and is one reason i'm moving from S3 to iPhone.
1. The overall cost including the minutes, texts and data was less than the cost price of the phone.
2. The price went up by £150+ this morning.
They all get a kicking.
If you're signing up online we'll send you an email if your application has been declined - if you don't hear anything you can assume your application has been accepted."
what's there to speak about? (sorry not gone through whole thread)
I had one original email immediately after placing the order... that was just a welcome and acknowledgement of my order. Then I had a second email just stating that the phone is either out of strock or on pre-order and they will credit check and subsequently debit my card in due course.
Nothing further so it's just a case of sit quiet and wait.
They've come in this morning to probably thousands of orders placed. Someone in a higher pay grade will make the call weather they should bite the bullet and honour the deal or send a sorry email out.
I think they will only carry out credit checks and debit the accounts once they know what stock of iPhones they can secure. Unlikely they will do a credit check and charge debit cards until they know that info otherwise people will be complaining if this was done and they still had to wait weeks for iPhone due to stock shortgaes
Reason: Credit check fail.
I have very good credit score though :-(
They always use the failed the credit check line. When they blamed a previous failure on EE which EE denied I was put through to a manager who was aggressive with the intention of fobbing me off with contradictory comment after contradictory comment.
"It's okay, we can do you an alternative contract on a different network... How about £59p/m with Vodafone?" - iD / Carphone Warehouse sales assistant.
If you argue affordability with them they switch it to details entered wrong...it's a total con..
Need to find a way to stop these companies doing this
Like others, just had my order cancelled with the ******* "Unfortunately you didn’t meet the credit check criteria required for the contract you requested." I have a very good credit history btw.
I'm thinking I have probably dodged a bullet with this lot anyhow so not that annoyed really,
Would be interested to see any posts from anyone who passes this credit check.
So there is hope for others too. :smiley:
Lying [insert expletive here]s
Then couldn't give me any further answer apart from the web team were handling it but wouldn't put me through to them.
If it was a glitch and they cancelled but were transparent about not honouring it thats fair enough but to reject me even though my credit check has passed is very suspicious.
So I was told my order got DELETED and the reason was not UNKNOWN. Very well played. :smirk:
First email came 00:51am. Second 8:50am. Seems to be pot luck atm. Nice to see they're honoring the deal for atleast some people.
Thank you for choosing iD.
We?re really sorry, but due to the current high demand for iD plans, it?s taking a little longer than usual to process orders.
We?re working hard to get through them all and hope to have an update over the next couple of days. We?ll email you as soon as possible to let you know what?s going on with your order.
Once again, thank you for being an iD customer. Please accept our apologies that on this rare occasion, we?ve been unable to provide our normal service.

Feel for those with cancelled orders, been through this before and it's infuriating, should report them to the ombudsmen
Even if I'm accepted I'm not sure if I'll be delighted or not.
I would never pay half a grand for a mobile phone nor would I pay £37.50 for a mobile tariff (including a phone).
I may consider selling the iPhone 6s. First stop on release day will be checking out Cex. On release day they normally offer a premium onApple products of you sell to them.
my details were correct though. going to ring them
Not sure what to do next really, not surprised at all !
Going to email them and try and figure out which is correct, once I confirm they've taken the upfront payment. :confused:
Imagine if Apple behaved like this.
Managers need to get a grip.
Still not 100% convinced i'll get it until the phone is in my hand!
Kinda relieved it's been cancelled as they seem like a bunch of incompetent jokers and that's without even receiving the phone...
Always used to be "failed credit check" but now moved onto "incorrect details entered".
Filling the gap is "order never existed" from the call centre staff.
I'd hate to see anyone lose their jobs but I really wish the CPW owners would get their comeuppance.
I like others would really not mind if they just said they made a misprice ! But behaviour like this means I would never get a contract from them now and will very much advise others the same
I've been monitoring their twitter feed but they are keeping this low key.
On another note, they can't deny the deal existed as it's on the confirmation email! As for the "details incorrect" syndrome, that means nothing.
I ordered on Sunday but have had no phone call back (only the 2 confirmation e-mails). Time to look for another deal me thinks.
Just waiting to see what deals GiffGaff will offer for the 6s.
Right just called I'D. Just as the phone started ringing I received an email about my order being cancelled due to wrong information being entered.
The first phone call I was passed to 4 different people, after 12 minutes I was cut off.
Called back and the agent said they need to ask the management regarding online orders. I was told to wait 2 hours for a response. Boy you guys were not kidding about this company.
Hopefully I won't be charged an upfront fee and I'm just so glad the order has not gone through. I can't imagine calling their customer service (if that's what you want to call it) for the next 12 months.
Guys don't get your hopes up its not going to happen...
cause I dont know my own information...
Sorry, but we’ve had to cancel your order reference: , as some of the info you entered was incorrect. It could have been any of these reasons:
Card/Bank Details – The card and bank details you give should be registered under your own name. Also, your billing address needs to be the same as your delivery address.
Invalid Delivery Address – We can only deliver to your billing address for security reasons. There are also some addresses that we can’t deliver to, such as halls of residence or overseas addresses.
Too many plans ordered – We currently only allow each customer to have a maximum of two iD plans at any one time.
Existing Mobile Number Required – We need this as part of our credit checks, so please make doubly sure you enter your valid mobile number.
As the order was cancelled, we haven’t taken any payment out of your account.
Please can you make sure you’ve got all the information above to hand, and then place the order again on our website.
Once again, sorry we had to cancel your last order – we’ll process your new one as soon as we receive it.

I got the same this morning also
Like so many here the reason given is "some of the info you entered was incorrect"
I know for sure the first three are not the reason which only leaves the lack of mobile number as the reason, which is interesting as nowhere on their web order form do they ask for a mobile number. They ask for, and I gave them, a 'Daytime phone'.
Email them, phone them, write them a strongly worded letter, sue them etc. You won't get anywhere; you'll only be wasting your time (as demonstrated by some people phoning them already).
They're a multi-million pound company and they're cancelling orders - doesn't matter what excuse they spout about incorrect details, failing credit checks etc.
Move on people.
:man:
Frankly, I'd be happy to see people give this company a taste of their own medicine.
We would like to make it clear that we are honouring any orders placed for the iPhone 6s – on this deal or any others on our website – as long as customers pass the credit check.
Where customers have received an email saying that their card/bank details or address details are incorrect, they should receive a call from our sales team today or tomorrow. Due to the huge demand across the range of iPhone deals, there has been a technical fault with our order processing system, which led to these emails incorrectly being sent out.
Please be assured that we are still processing the pre-orders for these deals, and we’re contacting customers directly to confirm their order details.
While most customer orders have been processed without any issues, we apologise for any inconvenience or confusion that may have been experienced by a few customers.
Once the sales team has spoken to you to process your order, if you pass the credit check you will then receive an email to confirm that your order has been processed, and is awaiting stock. This email will have the subject line “Your Order Update” and will specifically say “Although the product you ordered is currently out of stock or on 'pre-order', we’re expecting it shortly, so it should be with you soon.”
If customers receive an email saying that they have failed the credit check, this means that we have processed their order, and unfortunately they didn’t have the credit score required for the deal they ordered. This email will have the subject “Order Cancelled” and will specifically say “Unfortunately you didn’t meet the credit check criteria required for the contract you requested.”
From time to time some customers will unfortunately not have the required credit score for certain deals and handsets. However, it may be that they will pass for alternative deals on SIM only or lower value phones. Customers are welcome to reapply for an alternative plan through the iD website.
If customers don’t receive either of these two emails, they can contact us by using our online contact form here: http://www.idmobile.co.uk/email-us
Their twitter feed has confirmed it was a mistake.
They still cannot get their stories straight.
So try to phone, and after almost 2:00 on the phone I put it down. IDmobile put me on hold and after mins transfer the call to carphone warehouse , explain the situation and carphone warehouse guy said that they can't do nothing needs to be idmobile, so back to idmobile and the same again, on hold and transfer to carphone warehouse.
I'm glad in the end that they order as cancel, the customer services is -1* , never see nothing similar, really really bad
So I had the 'Incorrect details' email...what does this mean for me ?
Next I used the ID Mobile number listed on their website, which was also in the IDmobile post above until it was removed, 0333 003 7777 which repeatedly asks for the ID Mobile number that this calls relates to. Eventually I am given an option for Sales which I select.
I started by offering my order ref number but the ID Mobile agent wanted my Surname, my first name, my post code, my 1st line of address, date of order, bank used for Direct Debit, and finally which model phone I ordered.
Once I had given him all the information he required (now six minutes into call) he launched into a script about how the iPhone 6S is on pre-order at the moment so I would .... I know that but I just what to check the status of my order so I asked if he could confirm my order number to which he said he can't see that on his system as he is Customer Services and only Sales have that.
I told him I had pressed 1 for Sales but he didn't know why I had gone through to Customer Services but agreed to transfer me.
When I got through to Sales I had to again go through all the above info re Name, Address, Post Code, Bank etc and when I offered my Order Ref number the Sales agent said it was not a valid reference number as all their numbers began 34. How did I place the order / via the ID Mobile website/ But this is Carphone Warehouse he said and so we can't access the ID Mobile sales.
Do you have a number for ID Mobile Sales, I asked - yes he said 0333 003 7777. I looked at my phone and replied that is the number I am speaking to on now.
There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza,
There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, a hole.
That's why I posted my experience so others will not have to go through what I endured.
Something like that anyway
They should be closed down...

Ps this email came today after the cancelled order generic email that the details are incorrect blah blah
If they are not brave enough to dishonour the deal, they should not use excuses such as the customer's faults! That's just LOW!
Also their CS seems to be one way only - we might call you back, but please do not bother us!
If it was not this deal, I would not have known ID Mobile. They may be million-pound company, but they play like a bogus.
In some ways I should not be surprised about the service being poor, this is Dixons Carphone after all which in it has PC World, currys, Carphone and KnowHow all of which I have had bad experiences with in the past, to top it off they are using 3 which don't have the best rep for CS either! .
All gone very quiet here. I've not had any further emails from them after the incorrect details. I wish they would put something out officially in a blanket email or something as some of us are in the dark still and may go order elsewhere !
Very frustrating
I ordered on 12th, received "your order has been cancelled" email on 14th, phoned them up to ask what's wrong with my order. The only answer was that my order has been DELETED, and no reason was given. Been through 30-40mins of nonsense waiting and got my phone calls transferred to the wrong department. I was so fed up and decided I should just forget all these.
Guess what, I received a phone call from id mobile just now saying there was error on their system but is now fixed and my credit check has passed even though I was told I submitted wrong information before! My order has gone through successfully.
Now I'll be looking forward to next week and hope they will deliver the phone on launch day.
Like many others I ordered on the weekend and then the following sequence of events...
First email acknowledging order
2nd email to say the phone was on pre-order and will progress to credit check soon
3rd email to see incorrect details or credit check failed... Essentially the order has been cancelled
I tweet ID Mobile to complain asking for specific reason, they ask for order details via DM. I provided this but never heard back
Today I get a call from 01509 area code claiming to be from ID mobile, they mentioned the order needs completing, took payment detail but I got them to confirm the details of the deal. All done.
Less than 2 mins later, I get a call from an 0203 number claiming to be from CPW order verification team. Asks a load of security questions and confirms the handset... And then confirms the order. That second call seemed a bit dubious but let's see what happens.
Also the guy on the call refused to send me any confirmation I had paid etc...strange
It asks for iD mobile number..which I guess none of us have - what did you guys do and did you get a reply?
Many Thanks
Hi ______, I have confirmed that we have your order, however, there has been an issue with the payment required.
This is a known issue and we are actively contacting customers in these instances to arrange the payment and place the order.
You will receive a call either today or tomorrow at the latest and once complete, we will process the order as required.
I hope this answers your question.
Cheers
Was cancelled Tuesday AM due to failing *credit check*. Basically gave up at that point until some people said last night they emailed yesterday and got some sort of success. So I dropped them an email last night with my order number.
Just received a call to confirm details and he said I'll get contacted by DPD closer to the 25th about my 6S. I'll also get an email soon to confirm my order + a call shortly related to payment for the handset. I did say that my order was cancelled on Tuesday so was a bit surprised. His reply was that their was system issues and orders are being re-processed so mine is OK.
Edit 2: Decided to ring them 30mins later (to double check). They said my order is fine, it's not cancelled. Expected delivery date is the 25th. + Got a reply to last nights email at the same time stating my order isn't cancelled. So that's 3 different things saying It's ok
If you google it it is listed on mobiles.co.uk website though
Awesome :smiley: Sounds like they are doing the right thing. The only funny thing with mine was I got a guy on his first day. I didnt say anything but I could hear the bloke guiding him through placing the order...
Despite being far from the best for communication I have to say at least they have responded to my email and twitter message.
Good luck
I DMed via Twitter - had a phone call a few hours later to confirm order, pass credit check, take payment etc. Confirmed delivery of next Friday.
Essentially paying on negative interest over 12 months, no silly queueing at an Apple store etc.
Ta OP again.
Would agree to using social media to contact them!

Let's hope we're not back here again in 30 days complaining that teh first bill is wrong... hehe
Yes my suspicion on their lack of confirmation emails and details is that they will start us all off on the plan that is live on their site now, and we will have to go through complaints to get them to honour the deal we actually signed up for (if you notice the order confirmation emails did not have mins/texts/data details).
With regards to unlocking the phone, are we able to do that at the end of our contract? I can't see any information on the iDMobile website...
Sorry twitter newbie!
Also, I think Three only unlock phones that were bought directly through them, though I could be wrong.
If you use O2 then you might be ok unlocking from Jan/Feb
Just a little unsure with regards to unlocking the phone at the end of the contract. I know that an unlocked phone will attract a higher premium when it comes to resale - not so much when it's locked. I guess time will tell...
'Devices which can be used to access the Services may be locked to our network. The software in the devices and all intellectual property rights in that software is owned or licensed by the manufacturer and you are being allowed to use the software on a limited licence from the manufacturer. Following the Minimum Period, if your device is locked and you want it to be unlocked from our network, you can contact us on 0333 003 7777 between 8am-8pm every day of the week and we can help to arrange for your device to be unlocked (where we are able to) in an authorised manner (which may include replacing your device with an unlocked device, which is the same or similar specification to your device).'
No mention of a charge.
It all just seems so vague, I would have expected some documents through the post...maybe that will be with the phone. Or confirmation of DD set up. When I was on the phone the guy was very reluctant to send me any confirmation email for my payment or my deal.
Bit of a blind leap of faith at the moment!
This is what I was saying earlier!! I genuinely don't expect to get the phone this week. I have no paperwork no confirmation of anything...
