9.15ish mate, off my phone as the desktop site from 8.01 was a shambles.

Cool.
Just called and order was processed and confirmed at 2pm yesterday but there is a delay in the emails confirmations going out due to the number of orders apparently.
Panic over lol !
call them?
I'm going with no, and they will ask you to pay up until your contract due date in order to upgrade early

It was an error. I have no space left on my current 5 and thought it was a 64GB capacity. Turns out after I'd ordered the 128GB model my current 5 was a 32GB. Schoolboy error.
Still, was only an extra £70. I guess.

I'm currently on an O2 simplicity sim. £10 top up a month which gives unlimited texts and a few hundred minutes and obviously data allowance. So that's £120 a year on top of the phone, therefore £820 overall.
That'll be £940 over 24 months obviously but I won't be tied to a contract which is one of the reasons I'm still on one of the original simplicity cards, which O2 actually don't offer anymore at this price.

Surely selling your current 5/5S would cover most if not all of that ?

Any one else feel the tarriffs are a bit of a s**t this year?
i.e a 16gb actually costs less per month than the same thing on a 64gb, AND you have to pay more upfront. The cost is nowhere near representative of the small increase in handset cost.

I think these contracts are a joke better off getting a sim free and buying it ee wanted about 300 upfront and over 40 a month what a joke
I can get £180 through Mazuma for my 16gb 5 - which helps.
Just phoned them back to try and speak t o the upgrades team however just got told they are not accepting upgrades to the 6 at the moment and to call back after release date?!

Just out of interest why would you go for a 6 Plus but only 1Gb of data? Seems like an odd combination.
Mine's ordered now, going in-store is definitely the way forwards, literally took 5 minutes. Unfortunately didn't have an ETA though, although I note the 64Gb silver 6 has been pushed back to 2-3 weeks on the Apple site, so I suspect I won't be getting it on release day.

Nope!
Its no different to getting a 6, 5, or 4 on 1gb, it makes no difference. If you buy a contract you buy as much data as you use in average, if you're paying for 4gb of data but only use a couple of hundred Meg a month then you're just chucking money down the drain.

Ridiculous, for me I need the contract to be £45 at most with no upfront cost for it to work out for me.
I think the assumption is that if you are going for the phone with the mahoosive screen then you are more likely to be doing things like streaming movies or something to it, so thus would use more data.
youre right that if you use it for the same thing as any other iPhone then it won't use more data, but people with a phablet are probably going to use more data due to what they will use it for.
Just checked mazuma and it's £169 for an iPhone 5 16gb, so I thought I might get something decent for my 64gb, but no, exactly the same price, wtf.
I'm unconvinced! I think a device movie watcher is a device movie watcher regardless of screen size....couldn't think of much worse, I always wonder how people on the tube manage to avoid throwing up!
My wife's data usage certainly didn't increase from moving from a iPhone 4 to a note 3....she thought my nexus 4 was massive and I pissed myself when we went into the phone shop and she picked up the note 3 and was like "oh my god..I want it!"
I think I will probably end up getting a 6+ I've been on android for a couple of years - mainly because iOS was lagging big time and missing important and basic features. Apple seem to have addressed most of these. The 5s hardware has been hands down the best hardware for the past year (barring the stupidly small screen size).
Tim cooks apple is clearly vastly different to Steve jobs.

Because I spend my life on wifi and don't need that much data, if that changes I will up it
nope, not until launch.

Ordered a 64Gb space grey with vodafone, finally got friends and family, so it brings a baller spec plan down to like £38.50
4GB of 4G data, unlimted everything else. £129 for the phone.

Yeah, I've never gone two years before, but this works out cheaper than going sim only weirdly enough, and I kept my 5 for two years.
Also it means I can just sell the handset after one and upgrade to the S if it's worth it.

Calcs:
Both are for 4GB of 4G data, unlimited texts and calls on Vodafone.
12 Month Sim only:
£619 for phone
£21.60 a month over 24 months on a 12 month sim only plan
24 month cost = £1137.40
24 Month Pay monthly plan
£129 for phone
£38.80 a month for 24 months
24 month cost = £1060.20
I ways ALWAYS a 12 month man before.
