Funnily enough, I went from an iPhone 6 to the iPhone SE.

I haven't looked back since. Much prefer to have a phone that can be used with one hand, that doesn't slip out of your hands easily and fits snugly inside your pocket.

I would be a little weary of mobiles.co.uk. Myself and a colleague from work both seen a deal several months ago that was great however both got declined! Contacted mobiles.co.uk who the tried to sell us more expensive tariffs.

Ended up getting a slightly more expensive deal direct from the network who apparently declined us via mobiles.co.uk.

Typically just picked up 2x SE's yesterday as an existing customer, probably would've done better with this deal and a monthly rolling contract from elsewhere.

For anyone who is interested, the very best I could get from EE as an existing customer on this device was £25/month with unlim/unlim/2gb and £30/month unlim/unlim/4gb (no upfront cost).

At least saved the hassle of porting away from EE to port back in

Can iPhones be unlocked via a code bought from eBay?
hobsgrg to afox1984
25 Jun 16 #82
No, you don't enter a code to unlock into the phone instead the unlock status is held at Apple's end and it is Apple that have to do the actual unlock. The phone will lock to the network of the first sim used, so if you don't use the sim that comes with it and use a Three sim you can then ask Three for a free unlock

Because instead of paying £360 all up front if you go for this and immediately bin the EE sim you essentially get two years interest free credit perhaps????
termite
25 Jun 16 #59
Because EE are crap and you just want to take advantage of the 2 years free credit to buy the phone

25 Jun 16 #61
I'm with EE and have had no issues since switching from T-mobile 15 months ago, but appreciate it may not be the case for others, but which network is best for everyone? If you're only using it as a means of buying the phone over 2 years it's not much of a deal, as you then have airtime to pay for. It is a deal if you get the phone for free and pay for and use the airtime. :man:

As usual, the phone company is trying to make the deal look cheap by offering a phone with insufficient memory. The more usable 64 GB version is nearly twice the price. Cold.
Agharta to Village
25 Jun 16 2 #65
As usual some people assume that their storage needs are gospel and the same as everybody else has. :stuck_out_tongue:
savagevixen to Village
25 Jun 16 1 #66
Both myself and my husband have 16gb ive no idea why you'd need 64? We have apps and photos and videos and when it gets full, remove photos and the phone still works, it's amazing really.
Intrigued to know why people need so much storage?
Azurren
25 Jun 16 #67
If you just want to use your phone for emails, checking Facebook and taking the occasional picture 16GB is fine..
But for music, gaming, video recording, taking multiple snaps on a holiday / day out or anything more than facebook and twitter on the app side 16GB is woeful.

Remember. You can't simply add more storage if your usage patterns change in the future. I myself thought 64GB was plenty until my music library cracked the 25Gb mark, Final Fantasy 9 downloaded it's additional 3GB and I ran out of space after recording a couple minutes of video. :neutral_face:
Also while on Holiday with an older Android phone (8gb) I planned to upload my snaps overnight using the Hotel Wifi so I could clear them off fresh for the next day. Turns out the Wifi was shockingly bad, ran out of space on day 2 and had to start cherry picking what I had and just not taking pictures anymore..
Village
25 Jun 16 #68
Maybe it's just me, but with some offline maps and music, so the device still works when no connection is available, and a number of other apps requiring over 1 GB each, 16 GB would be unusable. Even with fewer apps, constantly having to spring clean just to keep enough storage for the phone to remain usable is too much of a pain.
Village
25 Jun 16 1 #69
Cheers Azurren, nice to know it's not just me. Come to think of it, even my kids regard 16 GB as a joke.

I think the O2 refresh deal a few months ago still works, £289.99 + about £2 airtime for the loophole
fadingstars

Anyone who's used them know how long it takes them to credit check?
hass123
25 Jun 16 #84
The battery life is great, my SE i got on that O2 deal posted two months ago lasts at least one and a half days on normal usage (I don't play games on it), and on activating "low power mode" it lasts 3 days easily. Does take about two and a half hours to charge though from 1% to 100%. Finally a proper battery in an iPhone that lasts a decent amount of time for a smartphone.

Perfect Timing...THANX OP.....ordered for my daughter's birthday tomorrow...took 5 minutes through Quidco (£10 cashback)...need your Direct Debit and Credit Card details to hand (a penny from CC to verify you exist).
Free delivery on Monday 27th.
300mb is fine for her as she gets Wifi everywhere and at home.
EE told me two weeks ago that there was a long waiting list...AND it was £14.99 with £179 handset. This is a much better deal than retainer deal they offered directly from EE.
Confirmed.....it is £14.99 TOTAL per month (VAT is included).

You still have to pay for the EE contract. Why pay for another provider for airtime if your £14.99 per month gets you a new phone and airtime, albeit with a different provider. You can port your number to EE if that's a concern :man:

Don't panic...ALL mobile 'phone contracts have this additional annual charge...usually they add around 2% (£0.30 in this case) every year...think EE is between March-June next year. Of course this is PER MONTH.

All networks do this, the RPI is a measure of inflation in the prices of goods and services. The increase is usually only 1-2% if that so I wouldn't worry about it.

If you insert your 10 year old SIM into the phone, that'll do. The Phone is locked to the FIRST SIM you put into it, so it should work. Basically the phone is Unlocked UNTIL you put the first SIM in, then it becomes locked to that one.

littlesheepy
26 Jun 16 #140
You need to phone your current support and ask for your PAC code, then when you activate your new phone and Sim, phone EE and give them your PAC code. That gives them authorisation to transfer your number from your old provider.
littlesheepy
26 Jun 16 #141
You should be able to port away from EE to say a Vodafone PaYG sim then back to EE. As far as I'm aware you'd just have to go thru the pac code process twice.

I was on T-Mobile and had to port to a PAYG Orange SIM and then onto EE. Apparently it is because T-Mobile are on the same system as EE so can't port directly to one another, but Orange aren't despite being the same company. That said, I suppose porting to any PAYG on another network should work too. It took me about a week to get switched to EE though as a result. :man:

So if I wanted to put my old sim in to transfer my numbers onto the new phone it would lock to that sim if I put it in first? How could I get the contacts off my old phone?

Placed my order this morning. Went for the Space Grey and is due for delivery tomorrow which is happy days as after having to use an old iPhone 4 due to trashing my 6S (No Insurance, yay me) this is the cheapest option for me.

So thanks for the HU OP :smiley:

If you're old phones an iPhone just turn on icloud backup for your contacts and anything else if require then when you fire up your new iPhone and log into your icloud account they'll be there for you, if your old phones an android then there's an apple android app called"move to iOS", you install it on your android phone and when you set up new iPhone it gives you option to copy your contacts,sms etc over to your iPhone.

It looked a good deal but EE declined me after a failed credit check even though on Noddle that my credit score is good at 642. I have no debts or late payments etc. And I am getting nowhere through either customer service.

My kids are taught to appreciate what we can afford and to be grateful for what they get. It is not a right to have an iPhone, and if my kids decided to tell me 16gb was a joke, I would feel I had gone wrong somewhere!!! It's a phone.
I can see from the more helpful and less snobby replies that people obviously use a high amount of storage for games and apps and photos and music, which is fair enough. Personally glad I can't do even more on mine as spend enough time staring at the thing as it is
Mikey91
27 Jun 16 #173
EE are really strict with credit checks for some reason. I got passed quickly probably because I'm already with them but the first time around I was initially refused instore (even though I have a very good score) and eventually got accepted by placing an order online. It's the only thing over ever been refused for and it was only for a £16.99 sim only deal!
Mikey91
27 Jun 16 1 #174
Tbh, with plenty of cloud storage on offer 16gb can be plenty nowadays. I've currently got a 32gb Nexus 6 and use less than 16gb and that's with a fair few Spotify songs downloaded, pictures taken and a few games. Once I get near to full I'll just delete photos with them being backed up to the cloud so 16gb is definitely enough for the kids :smiley:
*sweetpea
28 Jun 16 1 #175
I totally agree with you. My daughter is so happy and grateful for her new phone (and so she should be!). I hope I have taught my kids the value of money and that everything isn't just given to them if they request it!

Think i read somewhere that if you contact 3 and say your phone has locked to their network after trying a sim in it they should unlock it for you.

28 Jun 16 #186
Filled in the 3 UK online form so will see what happens
JumpMan1980
28 Jun 16 #187
The phone arrives sealed, unlocked and ready to be locked to the network of the SIM you first put in - put in the SIM you plan to use with it... not one you don't... this advice appears early on in this thread...

I ordered one to use with my high data Vodafone "SIM only" SIM (interest free way of paying it off over two years)

Mines arrived and going back though.. Didn't open it... Change of heart... but a good deal nonetheless.

It tried this too my phone now locked to 3, I filled in the form and they said they had unlocked the phone however it's still locked you live and learn I guess :disappointed:
littlesheepy
28 Jun 16 1 #189
I think you need to try resetting the phone to factory settings for the unlock to work.
dildil
28 Jun 16 #190
I've tried that a few times now still no unlock serves me right really as I wanted to use it with the sim it came with so I should just have shoved that one in, I've filled the form in again just in case there was a problem first time around

I've got £5 payg credit left on my post office sim that I could do with trying to use up before my number ports. Any ideas of how I can use the credit other than phone calls? Tried psn credit but doesn't work.
jeremylam99
29 Jun 16 #194
That is really unlucky. I got the phone but refrained from putting in the 3 Sim. I put in an EE payg sim and requested the unlock for £8.99. Need to wait for 10 days now. Sorry that the 3 sim didn't work. Wish it did to save myself £8.99. Hope you can get your phone unlocked soon.
kodivius
29 Jun 16 1 #195
Please unexpire the deal works 99 pence upfront @£14.99.

Received the phone today now the unlocking part might be tricky as heard from other fellas here..

So the EE unlock seems to be the safest bet so far. Could someone confirm if we turn it on and first activate the phone with EE contract simcard (min. 6 months before unlock can be requested) provided and then switch to payg for unlock purposes whether it will work this way?
.
tony_spumoni
29 Jun 16 #196
can i take back my positive rating?

what a joke this company is - do they just make up reasons to not give you the deal? refusing the contract because i already have one... i dont - i have never been on EE in my life, i did have a one2one account on PAYG in 1999 but never orange or EE.

then they said i got my date of birth wrong... what the hell?
littlesheepy
29 Jun 16 #197
Happy with mine so far. Wasn't delivered Monday as hoped (ordered late Saturday night and dispatched Sunday) but came yesterday morning.
Easy to set up from iPhone 5s.
Just waiting now for my number to be ported from Post office to EE which should hopefully be tomorrow :smiley:
gavinlew
30 Jun 16 #198
Dont you have to have the iPhone on a contract account for 6 months before going down the PAYG unlock route ?
Mikey91
30 Jun 16 #199
I have an ongoing EE contract as well as this so not sure why they are using that reason :/
jeremylam99
30 Jun 16 #200
From what I have read on EE website you are allowed to unlock any phone on PAYG providing it's locked to EE. Say I sold my phone to someone but kept the sim, they have the option to put in their EE PAYG sim and request an unlock.

Got a call from EE PAYG team today and they said that they weren't able to proceed any further because my PAYG sim was not registered properly. After registering, they have now requested the unlock again. Fingers X

I inserted a o2 sim as o2 unlock for free and have done this with many iPhones but received a msg from o2 saying they are not unlatching iPhone SE at this current time.

Luckily I actually want to use the o2 sim. O2 will unlock for me eventually and it will be free. Sometimes they don't unlock apple handsets until 6 months after release.

1 Jul 16 1 #203
Impressed with the phone so far but not EE's service. Being waiting for my number to port since yesterday morning. 1st CS person I spoke to tonight told me to 'give it an hour, I can't see any problem here, thanks, bye'. I can now make calls and send texts but not receive anything. 2nd person I spoke to was very nice but can't forward it to the right team until Monday as they're closed and they need 72 hours to look into it. So only half a service for me until at least the middle of next week. Not happy :disappointed:
kodivius
2 Jul 16 1 #204
Yeah littlesheepy exactly the same here. Got this for my partner and they applied her PAC to my account by accident thus cancelling my number in a process. I am now left with no service on my number whatsoever and it will be 72 hours as well for me purely due to their negligence..

2 Jul 16 #205
My dealings with EE are that you have to be careful and VERY specific with any request, even asking them to repeat it back to you. I was asked to sign up on a SIM onlu deal at £7.99 for ul mins, ul texts and 2GB (as per hukd) and they confirmed this on 19th June only to say later that they meant £17.99
littlesheepy
2 Jul 16 #206
I wondered if they'd cocked mine up in a similar way but no idea what's going on other than I can't receive any calls or texts. How I can make them but not receive them I don't know?! Hopefully they'll sort us soon and not charge us for the time we've been without.

merrymaid
4 Jul 16 #210
When it gets sorted are we ok on the 3 network or do we put the ee sim in that it came with.
littlesheepy
4 Jul 16 #211
I think if you put the EE sim in first, you'll need to keep using that. If you put the 3 sim in first, you could carry on using that. I've only used an EE sim as I wanted to use the month allowance.

i've tried chat they said reset, restore phone will work. tried form sent me same rubbish. phoned them up told me wont unlock it as i put a 3 data sim in it, then after argument they said will ring me back did not. phoned them up again today they said will sort it out soon and will ring me back. 3 worst customer service ever
gavinlew
16 Jul 16 #218
Exactly the same experience that I have had with them , I doubt we will hear anything back from them , Im now speaking to their support team on twitter, a guy has claimed ownership and should email me within 72 hours of the new unlock attempt results.

16 Jul 16 #219

16 Jul 16 #220
Mines unlocked! now has a Tesco mobile SIM in it - 3rd party unlockers cannot do it . I got it resolved by tweeting Three UK Support and a guy called David took responsibility for the unlock and done it (it seems their social media technical team may have access to the Apple server)

they phoned me back today that phone was blackmailed (don't know how) and they removed it and that spoke to apple as they are the only one who can unlock the phone. According to 3uk Apple said that i need to contact mobiles.co.uk as they need to send all the invoice and other details to Apple to prove that bought it from them and they will unlock it then. it seems like the phone won't be unlocked again.
