Just picked up the (right) micro sim from O2 in Crewe. They've just received a load of them. Take your email confirmation and it takes 2mins.
The organisation I work for use only orange, today I received my one and only email from our account manager regarding iphone4. It quite simply said that if we wanted any this to let him know today else we would not get any as the amount getting from apple is tiny. I wish we could order for personal use through work

"We won't have white iPhones in stock on Thursday I'm afraid"
Very annoyed!
Called o2 Walsall this morning about the iphone 4 micro sim and they said yeh no problem just bring your apple confirmation as we can start giving them out today. Went to the store and the assistant looked a bit confused, went into the back to check with the guy i spoke to on the phone and then gave me a micro sim. Got back to the car park and found out it was an ipad sim
Called them back while in the car and said you gave me the wrong sim so they said come back in and we'll sort it all out. So i went back only to discover they never had any iphone 4 sims in the first place!
They said come back in on the 24th. Not pleased at all
EDIT: Called o2 West Bromwich and they expect they'll get micro sims only on the 24th as well. Haven't got them in stock as yet. Is it just me that has reject o2 stores nearby as everyone else seems to be getting their sims lol

Cutting will be a last resort and as far as i know the ipad sims are data only. I think someone on here tried to transfer their mobile details over to an ipad sim and it didn't work.
You first need to understand how bank authorisations work.
If you have a debit card, apple request an authorisation code from your bank, your bank will then put aside the ammount the authorisation was for. This is moved out of your available balance, but is still in the account.
If the authorisation code is not used within 2-3 days, the funds are then released into your account.
Thats what's happened today. How the bank deals with the charge come dispatch if you no longer have that money is then up to the bank. Some banks will request a new authorisation code, others will let it through and just let it put you overdrawn, its down to the bank. But the practice of moving it out of your available balance and then returning it when its not used is standard.

I asked this a few pages back - Apparently, it showed as if it was taken originally because Apple need to make sure you have the moola available in your account - they will only take the money out once they ship it
