Well, it's all about the base no rebels...

Sir, we've located the Rebel Bass! (Base)

I would have expected it to start on the 4th :neutral_face:

Seems to be only in London?

thanks

Sir, we've located the Rebel Bass! (Base)

Try looking at locations and see if you can manually select the closest store. Worked for me

Unless, these are not the speakers you are looking for

wow only 2 mikes from a store for me but its next week.

I would have expected it to start on the 4th :neutral_face:

Cool, my local store comes up.
I guess they are made by Kitsound? Should be alright if they are. Usually sell for £6 to £10.

available from the 5th on mine

Do you just show them your phone homescreen to show them you are using o2?

We are with Tesco mobile which I know piggyback on o2 but my husband's phone show o2 on his ours says Tesco.

Hahahaha. :-)

time to order a sim :smiley:

how to change location?

If anyone has the O2 priority app but aren't on O2, you may not feel the force.
I know it works fine other stores but not in O2 shops.

I tried to get Christmas wrapping paper last year but was refused. When they checked their system they said can't do as I am not an O2 customer...

I am now though, Yay!

aah I'm on 3 but use app... I'll get my friend to try it first

Ok, thanks for your replies folks and to cj41 for posting.

:wink:

I can only see one option "Nearest Location" which is showing as London and Im in Birmingham. I cant see the option anywhere of changing location!!!

Thanks will need to keep this in mind til 5 Nov ..... :smirk:

Says closest is London - but gonna pop into town (ON THE 5th) and ask anyway... will report back!

isn't this a freebie (to the lucky people who get 1) not a deal?

I clicked on no when it asked for location ( i think)....so how do let it see my location?

ANyone know how to get a free sim without topup?

'Nothing to see here, go about your business'

Mine says available 11/05/2015 ?!?

nothing about this on my app. which category is it showing in?

if the app shows an o2 store which is nearest to you on the star wars deal does it mean that they are participating in the offer

I'm sure to check my store early for when the day has come. Such heat for OP!

I asked in my local today and they advised they would be getting a delivery next week. Blackpool btw

Do they have to be reserved or just walk in?

Thanx for the heat it's my first successful post.

great xmas pesant for some one i think.
what happens if you got two phones on o2 can you get 2?

I've never had problems with getting the badge for rugby from o2.

Hope they have stock left when I go after work next week

Voted HOT HOT HOT :smile:

Why Thursday morning (10am opening) rollout?!! Why not Saturday O2?! :disappointed:
No good for me as I work 9am - 5pm like millions of others that pay their bills to you but you want us to give our hard earned money to! Way to go O2!
Will all be gone by the time I get to the nearest shop! :disappointed:
(I'm not bitter at all BTW :smirk: )

Good freebie. O2 app is ****. Even with locations on it still only shows greater London shops for nearest.

I'm not sure the app is working properly, I'm in Birmingham and the nearest place that will do the speakers is apparently a multistory car park just on the outskirts of the city center. Is there anyway that I can search down a list and find out if one of the three actual o2 stores in the city center will be doing the offer?

How do you get a free sim without topping up?
I can only see free sim with 10 pounds min pay as you go!

cheers

I can't even get the offer it shows up on the my picks loading screen but when you look at the it's not there

Just go on O2 website and tick the £10 top up but you don't need to top up at all, they will send you a free sim which will work in your phone without top up

thanks

Don't even have then at my o2 store in north west. 25000 of them so why they distribute them to each o2 shop. They just want you going in so they can try and sell you something

Lmao as if

Captain here: if your're showing London as nearest turn on location services then in app tap nearby stores then tiny gps icon at bottom left of map. *Flies away*

it's at my local store :smile:

get the code to show them to get the speaker.

Can't select 'other nearby locations', when I click it the app crashes. Only showing that it's available in London. Why they couldn't just put the stores doing this in a simple list is beyond me!

Can anyone enlighten me how o2 has tightened up the Priority Moments redemption process.

I have previously used a Nexus 7 WiFi only tablet and the older v 1.12.01 PM App that didn't have a timer on it. Not having used it for a few months, I find although the App opens, I can't redeem an o2 offer when I click on it..

I've just got a smartphone and use an old o2 sim having no data. I downloaded the o2 Priority Moments App, but when using WiFi this doesn't open. Going to the PM webpage I am asked for my o2 phone number, get sent a code, insert and the PM is working in WiFi. This has to be repeated each time I use it. I see the WH Smith offer lasted just 5 minutes.

Has o2 tightened up so that you have to have an o2 data sim in a smartphone to use Priority Moments, and how long do you usually have from clicking 'use now' ?

Average is 5 mins once you hit use now.

No you have to do it instore. Perhaps if you phone your local store and explain they might help you as you've activated the code a day early. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply,

Do the O2 stores have free Wi-Fi?

yes just look for o2 wifi

David, I have been able to use a WiFi tablet to get the o2 offers over the last few years with the old App (V1.12.01) that didn't have the timer, my tablet retained the moving o2 image from home to shop, but if it stopped, bad luck. o2 have tightened up a lot, hence my questions above asking for others experience. Did you download the App from playstore and are you able to use the App ok without an o2 data sim in the device?

David, I always take a screen shot just in case, and have successfully used it . The retailers are totally inconsistent in their degree of strictness. And yes, they can be that tight, a manager of Halfords once refused me, however other shops haven't even bothered to look at the code. So don't be disheartened, just keep trying it. Some codes are generic, others are individual. This 5 min timer does mean that on WiFi, you can only use it in or close to shoping centres/shops with WiFi or carry a MiFi. There was no timer in the early days. Does your o2 sim have data?

Tap Other Locations, you'll see a map. The bottom left hand corner will have a circle icon - tap that to home in on your location or just drag and use the map to select one.

Yes it has data but it's Pay as You go. I don't really use it as I just use hotspots. I will try to get the code in store and if I can't I will find some Wi-Fi elsewhere and screenshot it.

I hear this offer has been postponed... (Until just after lunch when I can get there!)

Good luck to everyone trying to get one!

I have priority from getting an O2 sim in my unlocked phone. I actually use a Giffgaff sim. For this offer they ask for your mobile number and the priority code. I don't know my o2 number so I gave a friends o2 phone number and it worked. just a warning, make sure you know your O2 sims number!

Usually its a five minute countdown. never heard of a 20 min countdown.

Utterly shambolic. Queued up before 9am. About 30 people in queue. Only 20 got them. Went to another O2. All gone by 09:15. Waste of time.

can you tell us which ones you went to?

Got mine this morning, they have 20 per store. They ask for your name, phone number and to show the Priority code. It's tiny little speaker though :sunglasses:

Just popped by myself, and was told all are gone, there was a big queue outside apparently. :disappointed:

Got mine. There was a big queue at holborn o2 but I was 3rd in the queue. They has a big sack full of speakers.

Went to my local at 9.45 and told sold out too. Hmm.

Not a good PR exercise if you supply a paltry amount of speakers per store and **** off the majority of your customers. Major facepalm.

I tried welwyn's store to get the speaker as I left the house early, but they said that they didn't receive the stock yet. For what I know is that one of the customers over heard that they did have them in stock, but were holding them for their friends. I was absolutely disgusted when I heard about this and I never would ever think of anyone working there would do this to their current O2 mobile users. So in the end, I went to Hatfield's store themselves. Looks like the employees working there today are going to have a hard time when it comes to unhappy call in's

Queuing up for this freebie OMG the things people do :laughing:

this will not with if you are using the priority moments on a non o2 number as there ask for it when redeeming.

It is a 20 minute countdown (I guess they extended the 5 mins knowing there could be queues).

Got mine in Kilburn (London store). There were a couple of other people getting them too at opening time (9:30) - but pretty straightforward. Looks not bad for a freebie but not worth a big hassle to get

Got mine this morning around 930am. No queue at all in North Finchley (London). He said they had loads left. The store was pretty empty. Not bad for a freebie. Was quite straightforward to get it and was in and out of the shop within about 2-3mins.

Got one in the Stevenage store,only 2 other people in the queue when I was there.
They asked for the code,my name and mobile phone number.

Not on o2 but system accepted my number. No queue or anything around 9.10ish. Only saw one other person with one.

Best to ring up the store and ask before hand. Whats weird is the store i went to is inside a mall, both the mall and store open at 9am so unless people were queing outside the mall, i can't see how there was a que. The shop was empty when i was there.

got declined....they check my code then asked for my o2 number(which i didnt have with me)
gonna try again with unregistered sim maybe itll work

you should see the queue for free uniqlo tshirts last year theres were hundreds

just been to Loughborough store and qued for 20 minutes to be told they are not having any - why did they not put a sign on the door?

Lots left in Didcot store!

Got mine just now. Worth £15.00 printed on receipt.
Ok sound quality. Good if your phone or tablet needs the sound boosting.

You have to go through quite a process - fill in your name and number on an ipad + fill in a paper form with address, O2 number, etc + security text code + O2 Priority App code. (Good job I took my O2 SIM with me, was able to switch out SIMs as needed!)

Speaker's OK - not exactly SONOS quality, but bit better (louder) than the iPhone speaker.I wouldn't pay £15 for it (receipt price), but it IS Star Wars branded :smiley:

lol, no not quite. But was pretty thorough!

Name, postcode, O2 number, Contract/PAYG, Do I have a tablet/do I want one, how do I use the phone (Car, texts, mail, calls), what type of phone, Code from text message, O2 App code, signature....! Was a proper data gathering exercise!

just rang Tamworth, 2 left, but won't be doing the 15minute trek doing there just for one, although they did say they might get another delivery in the next few days

None left in blackburn :disappointed:

Why are you constantly trying to put everyone off from getting one? First it was "postponed" and now its a "lengthy process"...

None left Fosse Park Leicester

Just got one at my local store. Safe to say the pic has been taken extremely close up, it's about the size of a golf ball!!
Gave my phone number and priority code number, that's all. And I'm on Tesco mobile... :sunglasses:

I think postponed was a joke :confused:

Amazing-shot in-foot for O2, if you ask me. They've hyped this for weeks and then can't even provide one for people turning up within an hour or so of the offer *finally* starting.

The next Star Wars freebie according to staff at the York Designer Outlet O2 store is a light sabre keyring - going live on the 19th of November :smiley:

Just to save wasted journeys.... Hammersmith & Westfield Shepherds Bush OOS. (Hammersmith had 50 apparently). There were queues at both places before opening.

London Wall (EC2) Sold out this morning - hope this saves someone a wasted trip

Got mine :smiley:

Got mine at o2 store Kinnaird park Edinburgh dont know how many they had but i got mine at 1300.

:disappointed: bath all gone.

sold out within 30 minutes, what a joke

London Strand sold out within 30 mins.

Travelled to Tunbridge Wells O2 store; they said all gone within 30 minutes of store opening.Apparently, there was a queue before the store opened and they only had 85 speakers :disappointed:

Anti climax. Hyped up for ages. Tiny. Sound quality ok-ish. But free, so shouldn't complain.

Do you think they will have more tomorrow

What actually is the point of these things? I plugged it into my (pretty rubbish) phone and it actually got quieter. If you missed out, you're not missing much.

got one today gt quizzed about mbile number as my phone 02 dont do but after giving him my old 02 number it went thrugh fie

none left in merry hill at 9.30am :disappointed: they only had 50

there was two people in the queue at mine i got there at half ten

None in Broughton. Rubbish :disappointed:

Manc sold out at 9am apparently.

I got one at Kidderminster this morning at 11.30. No issues (live in Brum by was working in kiddy today).
Its actually pretty good for free

Agree!

would like to say thanks for the heads up , got mine today
heat added

Thanks. Posted next weeks freebie which is a lightsaber keyring.

Got one this morning, there was a long queue at the store

Got mine at Junction One,Antrim,N.Ireland at 11:15am they they guy said they had plenty left. He only wanted my number and the Priority code thing. He even let me quote him my mothers without her being present in the store (rang her for her code) and give me another. Was the only person in the store.

Went to O2 store in Brent Cross yesterday and picked up the second to last one... I must say the sound quality is rubbish... far worse than the inbuilt speakers on my iPhone 6 plus!

It is showing as not available anymore on my priority moments

Apparently Lincoln sold out within an hour. :disappointed: Just glad I rang first and didn't trek all the way to the store just to be disappointed.

Went after work on the first day these were available, went to 3 different O2 stores and each one told me that they ran out within the first two hours of opening (11am)... Great. Just great. Thanks O2. :disappointed:
