Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

When I used to temp in post rooms, their post was collected towards the end of the day... One place did do a lunch time collection...

Essentially...if you're not religious, pick a God and start praying to it... You may get them tomorrow!

For those people ahead of me in the queue, I'll give you £10 to cancel your order ;) Bargain if you ask me!!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

On the whole the courier industry works on deliveries am collections pm unless the business is mile from anywhere when the collections are done with the deliveries. Obviously there's a benefit to businesses to have as late a collection as possible as you can take orders later for next day despatch... the more parcels you send the later you can get a collection usually. As MPD probably knock out a lot of parcels I would guess at t least a 5pm collection giving them 2 hours to get a phone out from their 3pm deadline.

Boring decriptive piece ends.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

woooooooooooooooooooooooo 6th october, ready for dispatch.



rock and rolll!!!!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Thanks for everyone's replies, so hopefully they'll be collected from MPD between 4pm and 5pm. Mind you it's all a bit of a moot point as to which time they collect, as long as they leave their warehouse today, next day delivery is still tomorrow!

*Prays to all the Gods he can think of...and some I might have made up!*

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Oh good, I might be in with a chance then:D

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Oct 13th T-mobile ready for despatch

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I am on T-mobile contract, r u PAYG or on a contract?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Ordered 20/10, T-Mobile contract, Ready for dispatch :) Woohoo!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Ordered 16th Oct.

Now says: Order Status:Ready For Despatch :)

Also got an email from MPD asking me to text them to give a new PAC code. I already updated this last week with them and the one they have is OK up to the 17th Dec although I suppose their system may not show this and they based the email by the order date only.

Hopefully It will actually be sent out!

Having a bad day today as one of my servers has crashed and are getting nasty emails from clients. Its a waiting game for the server team to fix the node though. This news is making my day a little better.

(oh yes, unlike MPD I thought to email affected clients before most of them knew there was a problem and give them as much info as I could about the issue, I think that is part of what is called customer service)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Going back to the vodafone subject, I just read this...

Does this mean no skype?!?!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

oct 6th T-Mobile , Ready to rock and roll!!!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Still no joy for me:(

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Yes, T-Mobile also doesn't allow VoIP in their T&C for basic web'n'walk package.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Mine's on T mobile, ordered 10/10 and has changed to ready for dispatch.

Fingers crossed for you.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

ordered 23rd oct

t mobile contract

ready to dispatch

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Oct 22nd t-mobile - ready to despatch - woot!!!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Its worth noting, it says ready for despatch but the money has not been withdrawn from my account yet. That will be the true indication something is happening.

Time to sit pressing F5 on the Internet Banking page me thinks.....

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Terms and Conditions aside, are VoIP calls still possible?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Status change is already an indication. At least something else than Pending Stock ;) And yes, my credit card also wasn't charged yet.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I meant an indication they are shipping today rather than just winding us all up. :D

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Order Number:MPD - xxxxxx
Order date:28 September 2009
Client Name:Mr Joe Bloggs
Order Status:Ready For Despatch

T-mobile 18 month

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Might be worth noting that T-Mobile and O2 (my current and previous contracts) also state that you can't use them as bluetooth modems for laptops/PCs (not sure on the exact wording but that is the general gist because they want ot to pay for the mobile broadband instead) yet with both contracts for the last 3 years I have use my mobiles as BT modems with various laptops using absolutely loads of data, especially on the T-Mobile contract (I remember looking at my usage once on my N70 and my total Down was at least 3GB at one point (though not sure over what time period - it was a while back!). And I never heard a thing from them, never got charged any extra nothing. So unless the physically block a particular port for Skype, you might get away with it.

Disclaimer: If you do it and get caught it's not my fault!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Anyone with Voda contract changed yet?
Maybe they are just on the T-mobile allocation atm.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I believe so, from what I have read on the vodafone forums they don't actually have a way of telling if you are using voip or not.

I will see if I can find the source

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I dunno - I reckon they'll still ship tomorrow knowing them. Their email did say that...

I wonder where the cut off point for this batch is?

Anyone that ordered later than 22/10 got a ready for despatch yet?

I can't check to see if I've been billed - will check here to see if others have been though. Maybe they won't charge us as means of an apology :D

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

True. Maybe they decided to change the status just for sake of it to make an impression something is happening. ;)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Just to let you know, I ordered yesterday and no status change yet. (voda)

If anything happens I'll post :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Yes, it's technically possible, I did some VoIP calls over T-Mobile 3G connection some time ago and it worked fine. Same with using phone as modem. However, if you're going to abuse this ability, chances are they cut you off. It's all clearly explained in T&C.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Hey guys, hoping for some advice...I'm looking to port my number to a non-Voda PAYG sim, from my current Voda contract, then back again on a new Voda contract whenever the N900 is available in Nokia high street stores.
Question = what network would be best if I were to go into say an O2, Orange etc high street store, ask for a PAYG sim and port to it and then be QUICKEST to give me a PAC code to request porting from, back to Vodafone? Also, who does free ones? Obviously don't care about tariffs, I just want to use it as a stop-gap ;)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Yeah, no payment taken here either...
Will keep an eye out though...
Im thinking if they are ready for despatch they will go out tonight for delivery tomorrow???
Hmmm - might have to invent something to expalin why im going to be late for work tomorrow ;)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Don't know how about moving from Voda to Voda, but I'm going to do same trick with T-Mobile and I'm planning that stop-gap network would be Voda.

Hence the question: do Vodafone give out PAC straight away?

Note: T-Mobile gives PAC straight away, so you can use it as your stop-gap.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

yup me, 29th sept new voda contract order'ee here - Ready for despatch - no £££ taken yet :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I have never been so excited waiting to see money LEAVE my account in my life!
