I've read some pretty awful things about GiffGaff and people having issues actually getting the goodybags they've purchased applied to their account correctly, so I think I'll be giving them a miss. I guess I'll probably end up on 3 when my current O2 contract expires. O2 have always been a great network in terms of coverage, customer service and speed for me (I've been with them about 7 years now), but their SIM only deals really aren't too hot... Plus, I'm assuming with the combined coverage of Orange and T-Mobile's GSM networks plus 3's WCDMA, they must have pretty awesome coverage these days.

Sorry.... What exactly were you expecting with a quoted 2 week lead time? My estimated shipment time when I ordered on Thursday 31st was the 13th of Feb?!
[Nexus 4 General] Nexus 4:
Do they provide headphones with the mobile?
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
No.
[Nexus 4 General] lowtje:
Same here. Still pending..
[Nexus 4 General] mpsowner:
Sill waiting for mine to be dispatched :(

UTO :good:
[Nexus 4 General] MrBelter:
I know 5 or 6 people on GiffGaff and not one of them has had a problem, they all love it. When the SIM only contracts for me and the missus are up with T-Mobile im seriously looking at swapping cos it seems much better value.

Nexus 4 WTID
[Nexus 4 General] Juan Kerzhoff:
Ordered Fri, shipped Sat hopefully here tommoz :)
[Nexus 4 General] Azurael:
Perhaps, but I'm not fond of the idea of being stuck in the middle of nowhere with no credit, no ability to contact anybody and no contactable support over the phone since reading through their forum quickly. I'm sure they're great if you don't have any problems but a lot of people seem to be having problems with their account balances and credit (that they seem to think they fixed months ago, which is perhaps the most worrying aspect.) along with little or no comeback to the operator in case of these issues.
[Nexus 4 General] Zenzic:
Well when people who ordered their phones at the same time if not fractionally later already have theirs or atleast it's on it's way, I wonder why I have no word from google.

Sorry but is that not a valid reason to be annoyed?

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

I hate you :p
[Nexus 4 General] Azurael:
Well I'm a little bit baffled that they told you in advance that it would take 2 weeks, and you're complaining they haven't shipped it a few days later, yes.

I'm sure there's a reason they are shipping them like this and it's really not worth getting worked up about.
[Nexus 4 General] big_b0sss:
Using giffgaff for 3 months now never had any issue my avarage data usage 2.5gb a month I even used 3gb once never got any warning. since I need atleas 300 mins a month and unlimited data I have to buy15 pound goodybag but I'm looking to try out other SIM maybe a 12 month contract SIM any recommendations guys. By the way had a contract with three its over now I'm glad to finish my contract with three their coverage is worse in my area.
[Nexus 4 General] Tones1971:
Yeah exactly the case. Cheap enough (not as cheap as the used to be either) but if you have a problem its a nightmare to get fixed. I recently had problems getting my goodybag through and was told to allow 5 days to fix it. Which is useless. The forum is useless too and you will notice dozens of people replying with the same answer in hope of getting kudos or payback or whatever, but rarely being able to help. There just isnt enough employees with the right knowledge to fix problems imo

Paying 90p extra now to 3 but happy knowing my billing will always work and i wont lose service twice in a week. And i can ring someone to get it fixed if it does go off.
[Nexus 4 General] toge64:
I'm exactly same, and I live outside a major city too.
[Nexus 4 General] noxas:
@ mufc09

@ toge64

You should both give them a call tomorrow if you don't hear anything. I haven't had an email since the initial one either so i called them up yesterday and they said my order was sent to the courier on Friday. So I'm guessing it will be here this week.
[Nexus 4 General] toge64:
yeah i actually gave google a call straight after work on friday. turns out mines apparently TNT, just needs to be processed.

good advice for everyone in a similar boat though :good:
[Nexus 4 General] CDeansy:
What number did you call?

I emailed them via the play store and was replied with the generic, it is expected to ship on the the date shown on the play store (13th).

I'll wanna try and give them a call to see if I can get a better response.
[Nexus 4 General] noxas:
The number is: 0800 328 60 81

I even used 0800Buster.co.uk so I could call them for free from my mobile too :p
[Nexus 4 General] JustinTrouble:
Everything you've said is spot on!

Giffgaff is cheap and cheerful. Just pray you don't have a problem.

I'm moving away from them soon. Whereas Giffgaff was the cheapest for unlimited data, these days other phone companies are much more competitive.
[Nexus 4 General] Azurael:
Yay, waste more of the operators' time asking them if a product they have already told you will take 2 weeks to ship will be here tomorrow, rather than letting them talk to the people who actually have issues and need to contact device support. In fact, everybody reading this thread should ring them right away! Not. So that's why I had to queue 1/2 an hour or more every time I needed to talk to them about my N7 delivery?

You say you just want to know when it will be delivered so you can be around for the delivery and aren't just winging that some other guy got his first (the disgrace! how could they do it to you?!) but I ask: unless they give you a tracking number for TNT, can you really trust what they say anyway? My experience of Google's delivery has always been completely random. They'll come when they come. They never sent me notification before they sent out my month late, long-since cancelled N7 out a few months back, and the people on the phone didn't have a clue.
[Nexus 4 General] David !:
To anyone that ordered through and to a friends address from the UK Playstore did they use their own cc ? or it was needed the cc of that uk friend?

Personally i used my own portuguese CC set with the uk address on google wallet but its still pending, so im not sure if it worked or not actually!:(
[Nexus 4 General] Azurael:
Eeeeeeee! Shipping info! It has shipped! Maybe the two weeks thing was just to create low expectations...

Edit: Nooooo! Nobody is going to be in on Tuesday. Unless it somehow has a back to the future moment and is dispatched and delivered on Monday, it being nearly 4am already... How could they do this when delivering to somebody who's been made redundant: choose the one day I'm not home!
[Nexus 4 General] toge64:
Lucky you, orded 3:03 on 30th and still no confirmation here

edit: as for your earlier comment, i think it is natural for some impatient like to myself to moan and whine, just different people. im glad there are people like yourself who are level headed and patient, im not :)
[Nexus 4 General] komoornik:
Ufff!

Ordered 30.01, 2 minutes after in went online. 2 days later my order was cancelled - google probably didn't like my foreign card.

Ordered again 01.02 in the afternoon using another card - today at 5 AM I recieved shipping info.

Seems like it was sent on Saturday and it's out for delivery today.

First time I've used my polish debit card and I only put my real name on it - I went with the same address as the delivery.

Second time I've used my polish credit card and I've put my real name and my real address - not the post code and county obviously, those were like in the delivery address.

Seems like it worked.
[Nexus 4 General] big_b0sss:
Yeah finally it's Monday, I'm super excited today cause I'm gonna get my baby today :thumbup:
[Nexus 4 General] spastik:
I used my portuguese CC without any problems and used the english address of a friend. Bought the N4 at 15h37 and received the information on Friday.night. Right now it is in transit to be delivered in London. :)
[Nexus 4 General] lowtje:
Good to hear that you didn't had problems with a foreign CC :) I'm still waiting on my shipment info. Paid with a foreign card too!
[Nexus 4 General] Nexus 4:
What the... :silly:

I'm Spanish, I'm working in Uk now, I tried to buy a Nexus 4 with my Spanish debit card and the system just told me that the payment method is not accepted! Last friday I set up a new bank account with a debit card in Lloids just because of that...:mad:
[Nexus 4 General] eeryelf:
Hoping...

I was hoping I would wake up and have received the magic shipping email. I guess it was just a dream... :(

I wish it happened soon...:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] steviewevie:
No shipping email, but ordered at 5:40pm on the 30th and it just arrived.
[Nexus 4 General] spastik:
I was having problems at first but after a few tries the payment was accepted.

Anyway, I couldn't use my Portuguese address. I'm not sure why that happened but after entering the UK delivery address I was locked to use an UK Billing address too, so I entered the very same address of my friend to use with my CC and it was accepted! :)
[Nexus 4 General] tomolovic:
Mine was ordered at 3:30PM on 30th and just was delivered :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] kennynguyen20:
quite pissed off at TNT, my phone was dispatch on last thursday, it couldnt get to me because the driver could not find any address, they didn't even bother calling me to inform me about it so i called again this morning and they said it will definitely be delivered to me today, called again 5 minutes ago and they said the item is still at the depot and it has been scheduled to be delivered to me tomorrow, wtf?
[Nexus 4 General] nellisere:
Finally got enough money for an official bumper "currently have a poetic bumper but its coming apart after 3 weeks" and its out of stock, typical. Anyone heard any rumours or anything about when its coming back?
[Nexus 4 General] Azurael:
It's here... Getting rooted + Codefire right now. :)
[Nexus 4 General] nellisere:
I've been on giffgaff for two years, with several different phones, used 8gb last month (Google play store mainly because of "invalid package file" or something on WiFi) and haven't had an email, they've been alright apart from recently, my upload speed has gone from 2.5mbps to 0.06mbps, apparently its a mast issue though.
[Nexus 4 General] tracdoor:
TNT are pissing me off. I was supposed to get it last Friday - between 9am and 6pm they said, they attempted to deliver at 8:30am when I was still in bed so I missed that. They then tried to deliver Friday evening whilst I was at work despite me telling them to wait until Monday (today). THEN they tried to deliver on Saturday as well, whilst I was at work. No sign on them today and I have work at 4pm. Apparently if I am not in when they try to deliver today it will be returned to sender.........in which case I will give up with the N4 and wait for something else, that phone has been too much trouble it just isn't worth any more. To add to all that, my N7 has stopped working 4 days after buying it. Not rooted, just turned itself off and won't boot any more. Don't think I'll be getting another Nexus device.
[Nexus 4 General] Knighthawk108:
Anyone read about three UK offer lte to its current customers on current contracts when they roll out 4g support? It uses band 3 (1800mhz) it would be amazing to get the nexus 4 working on that band. Not possible at the moment but one can hope!
[Nexus 4 General] Fwosh:
Ordered a bumper case on 30 Jan with 1–2 week wait just got it on 4 Feb
[Nexus 4 General] komoornik:
Almost same here.

I've even asked TNT for the POD image, coz I read here about some delivery problems - seems like everything is in order.

It should be iny my hands in Poland in 2-3 weeks :)
[Nexus 4 General] Juan Kerzhoff:
Haha im really sorry squire im normally on the end of a big wait if that helps :) its been delivered now mind but sadly im at work!
[Nexus 4 General] khani47:
Mines just been delivered, no tracking information and a Suprise delivery,

Order was placed on the 31st @ 7pm
[Nexus 4 General] Sereniity:
Well, after getting it, just noticed after a few hours of use that there's a line of dead pixels in it, weird thing is they've only just showed up after hours of use - http://i.imgur.com/a2hvsFU.jpg

Not that visible on the photo, but it sits out like a sore thumb on the disaply. Not happy. Especially after rooting, flashing + setting it all up for it to just appear.
[Nexus 4 General] David !:
Great! Did you use MBnet by any chance? Thanks / Obrigado :o

I used your 1st method and so far nothing, pending on google wallet and pre ordered on playstore. I ordered on the 31st January, should i get in touch with them asking if theres anything wrong with the CC?
[Nexus 4 General] Looloup:
Ordered mine around 7:30am on the 31st ... no change to order over the weekend, I just checked and it now shows: Shipping estimate: February 13, 2013

So in my case the 1-2 weeks will be correct...
[Nexus 4 General] EddyOS:
Nexus 4 isn't 4G-ready so that won't work
[Nexus 4 General] marco_n:
Hi quick question.

I'm going to be in London for the next two weeks and plan to order a nexus 4 from the store. Since i can't access the store until i arrive at the UK, i need to know if i can do one of these two thing before receiving the shipping email: cancel the order or change the delivery address. Can it be done? thanks :)
[Nexus 4 General] komoornik:
Everyone had shipping estimate of February 13.

You will get it sooner I bet.

You're writing this post, which means you've got internet connection.

And that most likely means you can use UK VPN network to access the Google Play.
[Nexus 4 General] kennynguyen20:
hi guys,

a quick question, since i have a Nexus 7, can i use Nexus 7 charge to charge my Nexus 4?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] Knighthawk108:
I beg to differ: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2007943

nexus has LTE. Only works on band 4 though but the hardware's there to support all bands. Here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6474/nexus-4-includes-support-for-lte-on-band-4-aws
[Nexus 4 General] lowtje:
If its micro usb yes
[Nexus 4 General] Looloup:
Hi Marco,

I am in France - and it was impossible to get an N4 through the French Play Store.

I used a VPN to connect to a UK IP address, then when I went to the Play Store it was the UK one.

Luckily I have a UK credit card and a UK address to send it to.

Others in this thread have said non-UK credit cards work (some say they don't), but you will need to have a UK delivery address.

Hope you are lucky.

Quick Delivery

I place an order for 16gb phone on 31 Jan at after 1.00pm, got email with tracking number on next day (Saturday).Got it delivered on Monday

[Nexus 4 General] marco_n:
Many thanks! I have already made arrangements regarding the address matter, i just wanted to know about the cancellation policy before making an order, since i'll be leaving on the 15th of February.
[Nexus 4 General] smids:
I ordered a nexus 4 16gb on 1st Feb at 8.20am. It was delivered today. I unticked the "link to my Google account" box. Very swift delivery. Finally got one!

Hey, i just ordered the N4 16go yesterday, and i would like to know how many days it takes to be delivered... Thanks !
[Nexus 4 General] Benbop1992:
Couple of days, Also, when TNT say's that they are delivering, wait around all day, so you don't have to wait like me.
[Nexus 4 General] noxas:
Phone arrived today! Not sure what time but i had my 'has been shipped' email at 7pm tonight, so Google are a bit slow on updating the status of the product, but at least its here :). Love it btw!
[Nexus 4 General] AutruiP:
Ups, i meant to be shipped. My Google Wallet just say "Google confirmed your order".

If you have unlimited texts and at least 1GB of data you will be able to make contact with someone even if you can't make use of the free giffgaff calls.

My order has been in pending status for two days. And i've just receive an email that:

Our records show that your order is still in a pending status, which means that we are still verifying your credit card information. Also, with your estimated shipping date is 2-3 weeks, your device should still arrive on time.

I'm not from UK and ordered it with non-UK debit card. However I used UK billing and delivery address (work office where i will be in a business trip) - the amount was blocked. Hope they will not decline the payment :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] Benbop1992:
Good thing i have 2 sims, one from my N7, that will last as a standby for a while
