    I've spoken to Tesco today as I tried to order 2 phones in 2 transactions. Aparently it's 1 phone per DAY per customer.

    It will accept your order at first then send you an email to cancel it about an hour later.

    Yep - pretty much!! Crazy hey?!! LMAO :D

    CEX arent that stupid. They have already adjusted their prices, now £4 for a mint version.

    Just the same as they did when the 1000pointer phones were released in January and all the forums like this one went mental in advertising which phones were the best to buy and sell.

    Hi, if all you need is the sim number and the phone's IMEI number to get the credit, then am I correct in thinking that I can register online, get the £10 on the sim and put it in a different orange phone, and leave the phone unopened in its box to sell??

    How can the phone be unopened if you opened the box?

    Picked mine up today from Tesco, dh is charging it up. Looks nice. I ordered another one this morning with some of the anti snore pillows and they are all being delivered free to home tomorrow.

    I tried to order one of these phones yesterday but didn't have my credit card with me. Just tried again at lunchtime (today, Thursday 8th) and after going through all the hoops, entering clubcard coupons etc I was informed that the item had been removed from my basket as it's no longer available!
    I tried re-starting the basket/checkout process as the phone is *still listed* on the website, but got the same result.
    Grrr.
    Smile. You'll feel better, and other people will wonder why . . .

    well i have just ordered 4 online and it accepted the order
    I just wanted to order ONE, for ME, to use personally
    not to sell on
    not to cash in
    not to recycle
    not to milk the system

    but it has refused the order as they are OUT OF STOCK


    thank you all (the greedy multi-grabbers) for that

    an aspect of human nature not common to us all, thankfully.

    do you remember the video of the cash machine that was accidentally giving out free notes?
    Most people took one, expressing surprise, and walked on.

    But then they showed the image of the same guy who came back, and back, and back, and back, and back, and back, and back, and back, and back, and back, and back.

    I can't get my one to accept it's sim card. Which looks a bit rusty. Is this normal? The phone seems fine. Not being a phone expert I have emailed orange but they have a 24 hr delay in answering emails...
