I will say it again EE order 10milion for 27 million customers and now making excuses.

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but EE stores are very few and far between, the nearest one to me is 40 miles away in York, I went there last week, the que stretched for 500 yards.

I tried again today, I was in Sheffield for the snooker, same story, Hugh que, had to leave to catch my train, not a happy bunny, why can't they post them out to people ?

Not everyone lives near one of there shops.

What about the people who sent a couple of messages last week and got no reply?

Why is everyone going crazy over these - they're nothing new.

I've had a similar thing for years that runs off an AAA battery, looks the same as the EE ones though, just black.

ONE AAA battery? If just one, then, at a nominal 1000 mAh at 1.5 volts, you have approximately 12% of the "power" of these. Chalk and cheese!
I don't know why people are going crazy for them, though.

Sent a txt from each of my EE phones but only got a code back for one of them. I presume my 35p has gone to help pay for power bars!

have you read the Ts & Cs of the offer? Do you really want one, or really need one?
Is there an EE shop close enough or convenient enough to warrant carrying around a flat charger in the hope of passing an EE store to exchange it for a full one? Are you really going to allow your phone to go flat during the day without having the means to charge it (at work for instance)
I think a lot of people have just thought..freebie...without thinking about the logistics of carrying one of these things around with them.

How annoying. Sent the text at about 7am on 16th and received a Thanks for your text but it launches on 16th reply! went in to store on 17th but none left.

I got mine last Sunday after texting the day before, my Dad got his last Monday after texting the day before.

No queues at our local store ...

I noticed the EE shop was empty again at lunchtime and they still have them in stock. I guess they must have none at all left back at EE HQ. No doubt there is a container full on a ship departing from China. You'd have thought they would have been a bit better prepared logistically.
