Thats the standard nokia ring, I have it on my n96

Ordered on 18th Sept (all I see here are Johnny-come-latelys 
) and have had no credit checks. I am an existing T-Mo customer though.

Mine was only 10 days later!How does that work if your and existing customer? Did you order from MPD on a new T-Mobile contract or what? Surely, if it's a new contract the credit check would still have been performed?

No-one calls me anyway - and if they do I don't pick up.

That's how I understand it, at least.

Right so at the moment we could say every one who ordered on T-Mobile before October 10th (roughly) who ins't with T-mobile currently has had the credit check today? that makes 3 or 4 of us i think so not really enough to draw any conclusions from!

The reason he has it I think is because he has been updating the firmware lately so it keeps defaulting.

For the record, I have no changes on my account but my credit check seemed to have been different to everyone elses. I ordered 24th September on T-Mobile Combi20 and MPD did a temporary hold on £90.98 (the total amount I pay up front for the phone plus p&p) for 48 hours.
Like Evad I did also provide my existing T-Mobile number, which I think they may have used for T-Mobile to confirm my credit without a credit check (T-Mobile customer support said I am pre-authed for up to 5 lines with them). This makes sense then that MPD did their own check just to make sure I could afford the phone. Although personally I think making sure you have enough money NOW in your account, weeks/months before you are expecting to need it, is plain stupid.

I saw the normal £2 deduction and then the £2 credit, but no activity today, though I will keep an eye out..
