Yeah, must be doing some maintenance or just getting hammered.

To those still wanting an iphone on release i would give the instore pickup reservation a go i just did it for my local and i'm getting my iphone 6 64gb on friday. Link is: https://reserve-gb.apple.com/GB/en_GB/reserve/iPhone/availability.

Also i need a better sim only deal. need 600+ minutes at least 2gb or unlimited data and 4G. Who is the best right now ?

I've not been able to view it online all afternoon ("Something went wrong with your request. Please try again later."), but I can check the order status fine using the Apple Store app.

Reserved one to pickup on 19th on my lunch break. Better than waiting until 29th - 3rd oct

Part of me suspects that system will be the only way to get one next Friday in store.

ridiculous prices from the networks, hell no not £50 a month, staying with my 3 600 mins unlimited data, 3000 txts for 15 a month

What's with the Three contracts? £99 upfront cost is ridiculous.

Given the choice I'd rather pay a bit more upfront and have a cheaper monthly contract (sub £25), however not sure I want to blow £600 in one go for a sim free iPhone 6. I'm happy to spread the cost a bit over 2 years with a contract as I'm never not going to have a contract....I just begrudge having to pay £40 and upwards a month when all I really need is data and a few text messages and minutes thrown in.

Maybe once they're available to buy from the shop next week Three might be a bit more forthcoming with a better deal over the phone?

So we have an O2 mast 200 metres away and the tesco deals look great. Is there a downside to them if they use the O2 network?

No cost upfront and £45 per month for the 64gb iPhone 6 seems unbeatable doesn't it?

Its just getting hammered. I managed to get on 10 mins ago and cancel my order (as i have reserved one to pickup on 19th)

 

[Meatball]

I wonder if my instore EE preorder will be ready on the 19th. I'm thinking there wont be many 64GB iPhone+ gold on launch.

From the telegraph website which lists all tariffs. Not sure when they will go live or if the prices are accurate but they must have got them from somewhere.

 

[Alpherah]

For those waiting for Three...

Plans are as follows (per their customer services phone line) for an iPhone 6 64GB. Knock off £5 a month for 16GB version.

UL mins/UL txt/UL data is £50/month plus £99.
UL mins/UL txt/2GB data is £45/month plus £99.
UL mins/UL txt/1GB data is £43/month plus £99.

They no longer do the 600 mins plans.

For that pricing I've given up and ordered on Apple. Gotta wait til mid-October now :/ Might try the store on the day.

Just to grab this post as an example, it's a £1299 total over 24 months for an iPhone 6 64GB with unlimited texts, data, minutes.

A SIM-only tariff with the same allowance would cost £552 (£23 per month) + £619 for the handset, for a total of £1171.

The savings are obviously there if you go the SIM-only and buy the phone route, but it's only a ~10% premium. Being offered a £5 per month discount on the Pay Monthly price would almost offset the savings.

I don't know if this is a result of SIM-only tariffs being a hell of a lot worse than they used to be, networks wanting to cash in on the data revolution or what. It doesn't seem like it's been that long since a £35 monthly spend over 12 months with a free phone was average or even expensive, but obviously the whole smart phone thing has happened since then.

I wouldn't mind so much if customer service wasn't universally terrible across the board.

You can get UL everything sim only for 18 per month ^^^^^^^

I probably missed that on Three's website then
