Until I magically start making more cash each month I usually have to opt for 24 month contract. It's a bit crap to be fair but needs must. Have 2 daughters and a wife to look after so unfortunately I have to put them before my wants and needs.....

Which UK carriers are selling the unlocked version? From their websites I cannot find information about this. My wife is in UK in the 15th and I'd like her to grab one for me, but don't know where to send her. She will be in Glasgow.

I highly doubt it. I'd see it as being a positive as it would hopefully mean no delays are expected!

i have another question regarding 3 network.

so there are 2 tariffs i am interested in:

500 mins, 5000 texts, unlimited data - £32 / month

2000 mins, 5000 texts, unlimited data + tethering - £35 / month

now, i wont use any more than 500 mins a month, but tethering would be good to have - but how can 3 stop me from tethering my phone on the other tariff? do they put some kind of software block in?
[One (M7) General] NiCk.JaY:
I think APN settings are a bit different, those setting either don't allow tethering or charge you for it
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
so my number will be assigned to a different APN than the numbers who have paid for tethering?

I'm assuming then that if i just changed the APN settings to the tethering ones, it wouldnt work as my number isn't "assigned" to them?

PS. also how do 3 know i am tethering?

surely to them it just seems like my phone is using data?

tablet requests data from phone >> phone requests data from 3 >> 3 sends data to phone >> phone sends data to tablet

I'm assuming thats roughly how it works - how are 3 aware of steps 1 and 4?

No it doesn't mean it's in stock.

Handtec are very good, reliable and good customer services. Very helpful.

Spoke to them earlier today and confirmed they got update today that handset will be in stock by 14th march and should have enough to fulfil all back orders. Delivery 15th
[One (M7) General] weaselEST:
So I should make a preorder from them rather than hope that my wife will be able to grab something from Glasgow at 15th?
[One (M7) General] NiCk.JaY:
I don't know very much, but Vodafone were smart enough to know that I was tethering :p and I was charged for the session

I've tethered on a 3 PAYG go data plan what did not include tethering and never heard a thing, but it was reasonable amounts not sure if they maybe have flagging system for heavy usage what suspects tethering or something

Hi guys I'm from Italy, and would preorder an htc one from handtec.co.uk, what do you think abut this site? Are them serious and trusted sellers? I'm going to pay through paypal (they need the payment now) but being a great amount, I would ask if you have any experience. Thank you ro much!

They don't take the money until product is for dispatch. You can always pre order and get your wife to pickup from Glasgow too just in case there are unexpected stock delays. If handtec delivers then cancel your order with wife's or vice versa.

Btw Handtec guarantee next day delivery and deliver on weekends but speak to them before placing order o make sure hey deliver in your area.

I have a HOX with 4 or 5 months left in a £32 per month contract on o2. should I stay with o2? Buy the phone out right or get a new contract and pay to terminate the current one?

What are your thoughts on network operators? EE any good? Has Threes customer service improved? What about signal in the north of England?

Carphonewarehouse changed their shipping date to the 29th :(

Three have been off shore since they started ? The sales are still in Glasgow spoke to them yesterday

The off shore call centre is very good but if you want to speak face to face use the excellent 3 stores .

3 are the next network around and the all you can eat data is second to none I get an average of 14mb on my note 2 which is faster than my home broadband also when 3 update to lte they will still be unlimited and upgrade all customers for no extra charge
[One (M7) General] manook:
If they have pushed back the O2 release date you can bet your grannies walking stick that it means places like buymobilephones.net etc.. will be pushed as well. O2 are a major carrier and the smaller outlets like bmp.net will be lowest on the pecking order.

Ive got a sim free preordered with P4U and don't mind waiting a couple more weeks if its pushed...

BEST deal I've seen so far.

[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
i dont trust those cashback things.
[One (M7) General] brainimpact:
I once had trouble with one, if you going to get a cashback deal its best it be a automatic cashback so your bills are discounted without you needing to do anything and not the ones where you have to make claims after so long or whatever.
[One (M7) General] kalo88:
Never had a problem with cashback contracts, always been paid as long as you follow the rules.

I ordered from Phone 4 u the following:

18 month contract, 600 mins, unlimited texts, 1GB data, on Orange. Free HTC One. Free case and ubeats for £36 a month. I later found out that I could of got some cashback via Topcashback of £50-£101 and rang phone4u to cancel and re-order.....

Lady came back and told me they will BACS transfer £98 into my account in 42 days to save me from cancelling it!

I am over the moon with the deal!

If anyone wants to get the deal too I can give you the direct line for the lady that offered me the deal.

18 x 36 = 648 - 98 = 550! Plus free ubeats and flip case thingy.

[One (M7) General] kalo88:
My average phone usage is about 300mb from my data plan of 500mb because i'm hooked up to wifi most the time.

At home my wifi usage for pc/ipad/phone is about 40-60gb in total?

They aren't terrible for free headphones. I'll be using the in line mic with them instead of my shure se215s now and then.
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
I think what he means though is that a lot of people seem to be choosing where to buy their phones and which deals to take based on those headphones being included, instead of doing the (imo) sensible thing and looking for the best deal in terms of coverage in your area etc etc.

Bet preorder I have found for Unlocked version

It also says it is the LTE version so I should be able to use it on my ATT network in the US.

I bought an international Samsung Galaxy Note II from this site before it was available from the US and it was at my house next day after they received it.

5 stars from me.
[One (M7) General] omar302:
Even though it has LTE, the bands are different, hence the EU version will NOT work on AT&T's LTE bands.

had a very interesting call (funny) with vodafone uk -

Phoning me up saying because im a special customer they can offer me unique deals.

im always moving away from there because their signal is terrible for me.

Asked about any deals on with htc one, he said ooo very expensive phone, i can do

£42 month for unlim mins and texts and 2gb data. - Which is soo expensive compared to other networks!!

Then the funny bit came, and i quote what he said in sections - i can "offer you a better cheaper phone" the galaxy s3,

it has a 4.7" "like the htc one" and it has the "same quad core processor"

in which case i replied, no thank you bye.

It annoys me that people tell you damn right lies on the phone, which is another reason why i am leaving Vodafone!

Canceled Order

Hey guys thought i'd let you know my situation...

if anyone read my previous post, i stated that i pre ordered the phone from P4U sim free.,,

i canceled my order because i saw a good deal on handtec for the HTC ONE silver sim free :D... originally my plan was to order the phone from p4u then order the double flip case separately.

i recently saw that handtec are now doing a deal with the free case included! also phones4u only 12 months warranty, where as by ordering from handtec i will be getting 24 months. the price from handtec only works out to be a couple of pounds cheaper but i thought it was worth it.

let me know what you guys of this. was it worth it in your opinion?
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Htc provide 2 years warranty with their phones as far as I'm aware.

Yes it's worth it if you want flip case but have you included delivery charges on top?

Handtec are quite good though very reliable in my experience and helpful.
[One (M7) General] pavan-g:
yes mate, i added all the vat and delivery charges =)

also, having seen some unboxing video's for the one, do you think the included headphones will be sufficient for decent music playback, or do you think the URbeats headphones would be a better choice

and regarding the warranty, i specifically asked p4u and they stated 12 month. where as handtec said they offer 24 months on SELECTED handsets :cowboy:
[One (M7) General] riz157:
I believe its 12 months with p4u own warranty and thereafter 12months htc. Handtec offer standard 2 year htc warranty, it's not handtecs own warranty. Handtec don't actually do anything with the phone other then send it to htc themselves which you can do.

Included headphones are decent enough nothing special.

Price will go down in no time. Pre order are only good for the freebies. As soon as galaxy s4 is announced and when they launch it.

Happens the same every time.

In the next 2/3 weeks plenty of them on ebay and the phone companies will offer good deals when call them to renew.

I am waiting for the p4u deal that always shows up that is 12x£36 making it a bargain.

No mate sorry, no link!

I filled in the quick form on the Phones 4 U upgrades page and then they phoned me up and went through my phone needs and i quoted them a deal i saw from another website, was £30 a month and £99 for the phone, so he went away for 30secs and came back with this which i was happy enough to accept! Phones 4 u are not taking new contracts on o2 right now, this only works on upgrades

I see now that the Ur beats have been taken off and u now only get the Folio case so most of the pre-orders must have been filled, and only the black has ben changed to April 2nd release date so hoping the silver arrives on the 15th

[One (M7) General] misterthomas32:
Are you going to order on another site or just switch to another phone?

Put a order in with Phones4U and hoping for the best.. If that one fails then could be the S4 for me next.
[One (M7) General] misterthomas32:
You think Samsung can unveil their Galaxy SIV and release it by the 29th.

I'm just keeping my pre-order at expansys since they are the official HTC partner and the build quality and design of the One is just unrivaled.
[One (M7) General] :
Theres a few rumours about the 28th. Be funny if true. Samsung could turn around more S4 than HTC can with the One I would think so anything is possible.
[One (M7) General] kalo88:
If you really want the phone, why not just wait, it's only going to be an extra 2-3 weeks if you don't get it this Friday.
[One (M7) General] :
Because I know if the S4 thumps the One then I'll be dempted to get that. If I had the One by Friday then id stick with it. Its really just a shoot out between the both.
