I have ordered a T-Mobile upgrade thru BuyMobilePhones.net. Having never heard of the company before I was a little cautious. They do however have one of the best deals I've found for my situation:
600 mins
500 texts
500mb internet
18 months
£30 a month
19.99 for the phone
The closest mobiles.co.uk have got is £35/m and £50 for the phone. And as its an upgrade I don't have to fanny about changing my number over which is a Brucey bonus.
..........
I rang on bank holiday Monday and spoke to a bloke who basically said he cant do anything today as its a BH and he would be on the phone to T-Mobile for too long and he took my details and would call back Tuesday. 'Hmmmmm' I thought, and agreed.
I got a bit antsy in my pantsy so rang back an hour later. I spoke to another bloke who took my details and said he'd ring back in ten mins after speaking to T-Mobile, he took the telephone password for my account (the one you tell the operator when you ring up), I was a bit apprehensive but gave it too him anyway (I have changed it now). He rang back after about 20 mins and said its gone through and I should expect delivery on Wednesday. I said goodbye but was still suspicions.
I then rang T-Mobile an hour later and asked if there had been any changes to my account. They told me a dealer rang up questioning an upgrade to a Motorola Milestone but nothing had been put through. I rang back BMP.net but they had all gone home.
So I rang them today(Tuesday) and spoke to the same bloke and he said they have to put it through as a milestone to get the best deal. 'Fair play', I thought, but the big question is will I still get it tomorrow (Wednesday). He told me that he thought there would be enough stock in for my order but there may not be and I may actually get it Thursday.
I have just rang up T-Mobile (Tuesday 18:20) to ask if any upgrades had been put through on my account and they said 'No'. I will call BMP.net a call tomorrow (Wednesday) at 09:00 to chase it up again.
..........
The best number to call is 01773 522308.
Anyone else dealt with them before?
I've had a the same order as yourself, but it's been stuck on the processing stage since yesterday morning when I click on order status.
How long did yours take to process?
As mines an upgrade I don't get access to that part of the site
No worries, not sure processing should take this long. I have emailed them this morning regarding the issue but still no reply.
Give the above number a call 0900-1730
Will do, tomorrow, cheers
Let us know how you get on
I had a 'mare with Buy Mobile Phones a while back. Ordered a new phone, they dicked me about, finally sent it, when it arrived the box was open, so I sent it back and they told me they wouldn't accept it because the phone was 'used'.
I had to scream, shout and threaten them with the office of fair trade before they'd even concede that it was them that opened it (or someone previously); and even then they gave me the old 'as an act of good faith' line. They are, without doubt, the murkiest phone shop I've ever used.
I wouldn't trust them any further than I could push them with my piss.
Hi there,
I ordered with buymobilephones.net and my order was dispatched yesterday and is out with City link for delivery tomorrow - so they are definitely legit.
Many thanks
The confirmation email says delivery, sadly the tracking number isnt tracking. Will phone cancel tomorrow if no delivery.

Got the same deal as thread starter, got tracking info via email from BMF. Should be with me tomorrow.
Any problems I have had to date had been delt with swiftly!
Did anybody have a slow order processing, mines been nearly 2 days.
I also ordered the same deal as the first poster and I have a tracking number for City Link that is giving Wednesday as the delivery day with it currently underway to the delivery depot.
I ordered it 'new' despite being eligable for an upgrade with t-mobile. A new number for the specified deal appeared on my existing account ( a couple of my kids also have t-mobile contracts on my account) on Saturday along with the dispatch e-mail.
Therefore all looks OK.

I ordered on 11th of April and my order was 'processing' until Saturday.
This was a new order.
Status is now that it is on the delivery van. Unfortunately I won't be there to receive it today and touch and go whether there will be anybody at home at all, so may have to wait an extra day.
Just had an email response to say that they have a massive backlog of orders for the galaxy s 2 and that is the reason for the delay in processing my order.
Anybody spoken to Voda today? I was told (around 11.30) that they would take my order (upgrade) for possible delivery tomorrow. Haven't had any updates as yet about despatch - and it's 4.30 .
I'm pathetically desperate to get my hands on it, especially after playing with one last Saturday.
Just wondered what news other Voda peeps are getting? (I'm on a business contract, btw).
Really? You managed to get them to give you a phone?
I just got off the phone with them and the lady said that they will be getting them on the 19th May. So no price plans until then and im on a business contract as well!
What sort of contract did you manage to get?
Im planning to head to the town tomorrow and see what cpw and p4u can offer in terms on upgrades!
Bhav
No, I haven't got one.
What a horrible mess Voda's ordering system is! Yesterday they said I'd get one today. Then, having had no confirmation, I called. They apologised and said all the stock had gone out and I'd been missed. (They gave me ten quid for my trouble). Then they called back and said I'd be best going to a store. Except I can't find a store with any stock! (Oh, and you can't call a store, 'cos they don't have numbers. That would be fine, except Vodafone can't tell you about store-stock over the phone).
I've just called them again, and all I can do is call back every day. If there's stock on the system, they'll send one. If not, tough luck. The (very nice) woman I just spoke to explained their system and it's absolutely bonkers. Not her fault, but someone needs a good slap.
Meanwhile, P4U (which is literally next door to my local Vodashoppe) has tons in stock. Except they won't do an upgrade. I have to change tariff/provider, and my deal is too good to lose (unlimited landline and unlimited Internet).
Heigh-ho... Do let me know what's going on with you...
I managed to get mine today on Vodafone contract, but through phones4U instead.
Are you saying that P4U did an upgrade but let you stay on the same contract and provider?
Congrats on getting one, btw.
They made an announcement on their eForum yesterday:
Vodafone said:
There have been a number of unanticipated issues during the software approval for Galaxy S 2.
The next phase of testing is scheduled for Friday 13th. We'll provide an update on Monday 16th with the latest information on timings.
If the device passes testing with Google on Friday, we'll be able to confirm despatch dates for preorders in our Monday update. If not, we'll give as much information as we can.

What the... Does this mean they're filling it with bloatware? I've heard from other sources that VF will be selling the GS2 unbranded, but then how could it have issues regarding software approval?
I've been due an upgrade for a month and have been holding off for this -- which is why I haven't bought the phone outright. I still haven't been able to confirm a deal for my new tariff because they can't confirm deals until the phone is showing 'in stock' for those in the call centre.
I heard the date of 16th being the release date for some time now, so hopefully on Monday I'll here "the phone is available!" and I get in before they're out of stock.
Anybody else in the same or a similar boat? Very, very frustrating!
Hey, I managed to pre-order the phone through an online early upgrade on the 4th May. When I ordered it said something along the lines of shipping "from the 16th May" so this could mean any time after that date really. I phoned the warehouse team on Tuesday (10th May) to try and get clarification if they still expected to start shipping on this date, and the guy I spoke to said that they anticipated stock to arrive within the next 2-3 days and that once it was in stock they would start shipping immediately. However after seeing the update on their forums yesterday I can only assume that what I was told was a complete lie.
It's really frustrating that a) Vodafone would load the phone with software (bloatware) Google obviously don't approve of and b) that they would delay the launch of the phone to do this!
why not get it through CPW or mobiles.co.uk?
sure to be unbranded then + probably cheaper anyway...
got mine on release week on VF upgrade via mobiles.co.uk
Because mine was an early upgrade (my contract isnt up 'til September) I had to go direct through Vodafone. Although by the looks of things, Vodafone might not be shipping my order until September anyway
I'd say you're probably better to wait a couple of months, especially if VF are ****ing about with the firmware...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App, innit!
My O2 phone works fine on a Vodafone SIM, so if they're having problems in testing they must be screwing around with it. That means you'll get any official updates some time after everyone else.
Plus is there the remotest chance you'll get the phone for £149.99 on a £10.50 per month contract with Vodafone? Nope.
Go to phones 4u or carphone warehouse. They will give you an unbranded sgsII as an upgrade.
I got mine as a Vodafone upgrade from phones 4 u. on April 30th.
Mine was an early upgrade. My contract doesn’t finish until 12th of June. But i was able to upgrade from 12th of April. The 2 month is added to the end of my new contract. So i can upgrade again 12th of April 2013. But again my contract won't be up till 12th of June 2013

They won't be able to do as good a deal as Vodafone will (most likely) do. I'm hoping I'll be able to get a handset-only upgrade which would mean: £35 p/m 18m, 600mins, Unlimited texts, 500MB, Vodafone passport.
Looking at mobiles.co.uk I'd have to take 300 less minutes per month and pay £79.99 for the handset. That's pretty good but since I've been with VF for a good number of years I think I can do better.

Could you barter or did you have to stick to their standard deals? Carphone warehouse can do my tariff with that phone if I pay £159.99 for the handset -- no thank you :-/
I would check on Phones 4 U website but unfortunately they kind of con you into allowing them to use your information for marketing before showing you the goods it seems. Oh well.
Could it be the NFC devices which are supposed to hit late may early june?
Means they could still be unbranded?
An optimistic view, I doubt it though. I have little faith in Vodafone! I received a response (to an email I sent) from one of Guy Laurence's people. I responded by asking her if these VF handsets will be branded. My next question will be about NFC.

£25 a month, with handset cost of £49, 12 month contract but then I do get really good discounts.
Have pre-ordered mine via http://upgrades.vodafone.co.uk/ mentioned the 19th, keeping fingers crossed, but not expecting anything.

How did you preorder yours with such a good deal?
Here are the upgrade options I have: http://i.imgur.com/45o9F.jpg
Really, really terrible. Pity I have to wait until they're in stock to get a good deal, which means they'll probably go out of stock instantly due to all the preorders and I'll be waiting another two weeks...

same offers I get, just I can apply for discounts after I've order (this is special for me, please don't expect to barter with customer services after the phone has come out if you pre-order on a high tariff).
why are you waiting at all, I upgraded my vodaphone contract using Phones4you, got a great deal. 25/month, £60 for phone.
You can get voda's version will be full of crap and more expensive.
@stoolzio
Can you tell me how this worked? I tried three different P4U stores and they all said that they no longer do "handset upgrades". ie: They'd give me the phone, on my network, but only if I changed tariff. Since I want to keep my existing tariff I couldn't do a deal with P4U (or CPW, either).
Did you change your Voda tariff?

Same, I rang P4U earlier and they said they don't do handset only upgrades. They were £50 cheaper than CPW though.
@b33p:
Have you had a call from Voda, by any chance? They called me about 11am to say the SGS2 might be available for despatch today.
They didn't call back, so I did.
Totally different story: "It's available from the 19th".
WTFFFFFFFF goes on at Vodafone? It's a mystery of religious proportions.....

I got mine through phones4u in PCworld, maybe things are different. To be honest I think it depends on the branch and even perhaps who you talk to, a bit inconsistent, i'll tell you why.
I first ran Phones4u and they told me the same, no upgrades, however they told me they would be doing next week (two weeks ago now). They also told me they had no handset trade in policy, none at all, nada nothing, didnt exist.
So, the following week I walk into PC world, there and then I am offerred an upgrade of my current vodoacontract and given £90 for my old HD2 (with android on it no questions asked). I was so dumbfounded I just got my cash out and signed up.
Now the proud owner of one SG2 with same phone number, minutes and everything.
Seems like they now have the S2 in stock, going to give them a call later to see what they will offer me...
Just looked at their online prices
yes they do just orderd mine for my upgrade on flex 35i and had to pay £10 for the phone. should have it on thursday
Mine's coming today/tomorrow, got it £30pm over 18 months plus £60 upfront. Deal includes £180 of credit a month, equivalent to 900 minutes or 1800 texts. They wanted me back

WHATTTTT??? WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS????
I called and spoke to some really nice woman and she checked on their internal "coming soon" list and said that, she can see the GSII will be coming but no date. (This is in spite of the fact the "consumer" websites says June)
So where did you see that you can get it from them direct?
(My contract is such, that I could only do a straight call-up and delivery (regular) upgrade.)
I first saw it as an option when i logged into t-mobile.
Called them literally 2 hours ago and they were offering some horrendous £35 plus contracts for the handset...

Sorry to be so immature BUT OMG!!! Things must have changed since literally a few days ago!
I'm going to try and log in now. (I'm on my dad's business contract so hopefully it will cover it )
And as for the price, it is indeed a very expensive phone.
I've phoned T-Mobile up twice and both times, I've been told they're stocking them, but their internal "coming soon" doesn't actually have a release date!
However the GSII, is on their website.
So if anyone orders from T-Mobile directly, could they please inform us, and when it actually gets delivered??

I did try, but the shop here couldn't process the order.
I phoned on Saturday, they said they'd got a shipment that very morning. Mine should arrive tomorrow; I'll be happy to answer any questions
Worth noting that if you order online or over the phone, you get a 7 day cooling off period, so if you don't like T-Mobile, or your contract, or the phone, or your cat's reaction to the phone or anything else, you can send it back and the contract goes away
Source:
http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/common/returns_policy.html
From what I've read, this does not apply instore. When I first signed up with T-Mobile 18 months ago in a brick-and-mortar store, I asked about this.
Me: "Do you have a cool-off policy?"
Sales guy: "Yes, we have a policy, and that policy is that we have no cool-off period."

Its not specific to T-mobile. Its a statutory protection offered in the distance selling regulations and applies to all distance sales.
I had my T-Mobile SGS2 delivered this morning.
I phoned T-Mobile up on Friday evening and they said they have just got in a delivery of SGS2's so I upgraded to it.
It has got the T-Mobile logo on boot. Havn't tried any other sim cards but I am quite sure it will be locked.
Anything anybody wants me to check?
This is my first android phone so nothing too complicated lol, but Ive been doing a lot of reading about android so am not a total n00b
Ive just got an email from Amazon.de saying my order placed at the beginning of this week has been delayed due to bottlenecks in production and may take a further one to two weeks to deliver!
Has anyone else got the same?
..and I should say I ordered white.
it could be that amazon has placed 2 orders with the manufacturer.
when i preordered mine on the 9th of may, it still says delivery on the 30th. i spoke on the phone with amazon.co.uk and they told me that they have delivery of an amount of handsets for the 29th and then a bigger delivery on the 6th of june. So i presume is whoever managed to order one early on gets it a bit sooner, and if the stock for delivery on the 30th is gone, then that is why your's might come a bit later.
Amazon.co.uk website is still offering preorders for delivery on the 30th of both blue and white.

i suppose that is from the german amazon.de? right?
actually here is a note from amazon.co.uk when you visit the page that sells the phone:
Note on Samsung Galaxy SIII Availability:
We have been made aware that there may be a slight delay in the arrival of some Samsung Galaxy SIII stock into the UK. We will keep you informed of any new information as soon as we receive it. All pre-orders will be fulfilled on a first-come first-served basis and we will not charge your credit card until we are ready to ship your order.
lets hope its delivered as expected!!!
I got an email May 10th saying mine will be delivered June, between 4 and 9, no more emails since
I pre-ordered the white one on May 12th on Amazon.de, and haven't gotten the email yet. Spoke with Amazon reps some of them said that this is a "technical error" (that I haven't received the email), others have said that it might be dispatched, but that they "don't want to make any false promises". My status page still says 30.5.
There already was a discussion on this topic in Galaxy S III Pricing, Availability and Pre Order Thread
There are quite a few in the amazon forum reporting that amazon told them upon request (like the chat) that there is a delay of one or two weeks and that the displayed delivery date of the order may not be correct.
I am one of those.
I have read at least one updating the shipping method to the fast one and this caused the delivery date to be updated to about two weeks later.
According to most personal of amazon.de this delay includes anyone who did a preorder.
We'll have to wait until next week to find out if this is true.
What a chaos!!!11Eleven
If I look at the amazon.de page at this moment, you can order the blue and white version for 621,- € with delivery at 31.5

Yes, but this one is not sold by Amazon directly, but by Notebook.de. Amazon still sells at 587 EUR with 1-3 weeks delay.
Does anyone know where I could buy the phone locally in Austria (Vienna)? Saturn doesn't have it on the website, neither does MediaMarkt.
Nope.
It looks like the delay is not restricted to amazon but most or all vendors.
I don't think you'll get lucky with a normal vendor.
Don't expect saturn or mediamarkt to have them any time soon, the austrian ones are always slow on picking up new stuff compared to the german ones.
Maybe there is more luck with a mobile operator, but I did not check on this since I am not interested in buying it with a contract and have it sim-locked (if you are willing, then the offer from orange.at might be a good one).
But hey, it's 'just' supposted to be one or two weeks.
Drink tea, relax and wait (yea I know, it's hard, i'm just trying on that myself)

Yeah I figured I'll tour Orange, T-Mobile, and Drei tomorrow and see if I could get one without contract, though I doubt it. Still waiting for news from Amazon about the definite delay...
I'm gonna wait until the madness does down and stock aplenty so i can get one within a week
Just got another email, delayed to 19 - 26 June
I also got an email from Amazon.de today. I pre-ordered a pebble blue S3 on the 15th of May. It now says that it will be delivered from June, 14th to June, 15th.
So that's another 2 weeks of waiting.
Same here. This is a bit frustrating. Samsung should've addressed this problem earlier, how could they let this slip? After all, this is one of the most anticipated phones of the year.
