iPad Air Promotion

Anonymous — Sat, 02 Aug 2014 20:07:29 GMT

Had an email from O2 the other day promoting the iPads on Refresh waiving the £99 upfront cost. So decided to opt in for 2! (One for me, one for the wife so no conflict lol).

Only went for the 16GB iPad Airs with cellular. But thought I'd drop a note to say how pleased I am with them and the service from O2 in obtaining them. Quick, easy and painless.

Yes, I have 4 contracts now. 2 Note 3's and 2 iPads. But definitely worth it and glad I went for iPad with cellular!

I can't understand those who slate Tu Go either. When you use it on a separate device to your phone (like it was designed) it works like a dream!

Hi

Glad you like the iPad Airs.

I Purchased the 16gb wifi version from my Apple store for £399.

Awesome tablet.

Unfortunately as I'm payg I can't try Tugo although my coverage and data connection on 4g is very strong at 50mbps download.

Hi BoB

We're still waiting for 4G to be rolled out here, but I'm getting speeds of 120Mb on wifi at home, which is almost on par with the 157Mb I get on the iMac!

So all in all a happy bunny with my gadgets, loving the Note 3 (since May) in place of the iPhone 5 tho. Still getting to grips with the home button on the iPad as Siri keeps making an appearance where the Note 3 would normally let me close apps. Still, practice makes perfect! 🙂

Awesome speeds there.

Who's your ISP provider ?

I'm with Bt infinity but as it's not true fibre optic I get around 70mbps

Virgin Media. On the top tier package of 152Mbs, but it must be higher than that as I get that on wifi without being hardwired to the hub.

Thought as much.

Lots of speed to play with.

Are you a gamer ?

I'm not, but we're heavy internet users in the house. Between me, the wife, my 13 yr old son and 10 yr old daughter we use;

2 x iPhones
2 x Note 3s
2 x iPads
3 x Xbox
2 x laptops
iMac
Tablet
Smart TV
Smart Blu-Ray
Wifi Printer

So need a decent speed for when we're all using the net lol

Indeed. Ha Ha. 🙂

I do love my gadgets, it's rubbed off on everyone else now too. Think we're well stocked at the mo, so hopefully a cheaper Xmas this year lol.

Loving my 32GB iPad Air that I purchased on o2 last Wednesday... the existing customer deal isn't that bad. Little trouble getting one of these over the phone due to a problem with my address, but sorted in-store.

I think the only issue o2 are having is getting thier hands on the iPads themselves. There was 1 in-store when I was looking to buy.

When are the iPads arriving?

For those of us that are not akin to the Apple ecosystem, what is the difference between an ipad and an ipad air?

I have stuck with Android since I got my first smartphone but my recent foray into Windows Phone and (to a negative extent) blackberry have opened my eyes.

Hi Nick

Chipset and 64bit architecture.

Lighter than the previous iPads too.

Makes it less of a strain on wrists handling it for a length of time.

Future proof also to better handle what iOS 8 will bring.

I'd give CS a call on 202 as it sounds like there may be a problem somewhere.....

Hi.. Called 202 and it looks like they are out of stock at the moment!!

Re: iPad Air Promotion

jonsie — Sun, 10 Aug 2014 22:17:08 GMT

Yes that's usually the problem when it's stuck 'in progress'. Many comments on the forum about not being made aware at the point of order whether it's in stock or not.
