O2 starts 3G iPhone stampede - and runs away

Yeah I've got the JDxx thing as well but nothing comes up.....hopefully it's just their tracking system that needs updated, as they've damn well taken the money!

Hurrah

Just tried my JD code one last time and it now says it was picked up at 09:44 !!

Also, under My O2 the Tarriff info has updated to: O2 35 on iPhone.

Order status still says "In Progress" though and I've not had any emails since I ordered it on Monday!

I'm also not in one of the scorched earth postcodes, so hopefully will get a txt before 6!

Yeah I've tried the 'on-xxxx' number in the 'By Consignment' as instructed in the O2 email and entering the JDxxx parcel number in the "By Ident Code" and nothing comes up...

Ghost Order

I managed to get an order number on Monday, and called in the evening when I still hadn't had a confirmation email, and spoke to someone who said "yes I can see you have one" and that an email would be "sent out". I was happy with that.

Yesterday I'd still not received any confirmation email, so I emailed O2 and got this response:

Delivery may take upto TWO WEEKS??? Sounds like the may be scamming and pretending to dispatch orders and blame it on the courier till they can fulfil the order? I put in my consignment code into the tracking system and it can't find it...
