Did you not get the "currently unavailable" message?
EDIT: Hang on, maybe I've been dialling the wrong number, what an idiot.0 -

I finally got through to Tesco about 12:15pm, apparently their systems came back up at 12pm and they sold out by 12:10pm - so much for having loads of stock in! Don't waste your time calling, they don't have anything to sell you.
Did they ever have stock??? Anyone hear of anyone that's actually received an Iphone 4 that they ordered by phone from Tesco's? Those that got through I heard they had emails later in the day to say their order was not completed due to an error with credit card processing.0 -
They tell you it's out of stock then read a script telling you to register on there website. The lady couldn't have sounded more depressed. Bet she's going to have to read that out for the rest of the day.Walk_Me_Home_Cheddar wrote: »Did you ask how they managed to sell out of them given that the system seems to have been down since the day they went on sale?0 -
I believe Apple can only sell new accounts as they don't have access to the networks systems and so can't run the upgrade process.
I was on 3 but just started a new account
got 32g £189
900 mins unlimited text 1gb data £35 month 24 months
The phone is beautiful! signal good and no problems.
Spend £25 on black bumper from Apple :eek: but it's good!0 -

I'll back you up, mine is fine also no problems at all! well worth the 3 hour queue:T0 -
Just also got through. They state the lines came up early and sold out already. I queried this and also the promise that they would prioritise customers from the last few days. They had previously asked for my phone number and said I would be called before general sale. I know others were asked the same . The operator said this should not have happened and the lady "Diane" I spoke apparently does not work there !. Complaints dept address
