Is anyone else having issues paying for their i Phone X upgrade?

I can get to the payment screen ok but then I keep getting an error message saying that my card "is not an accepted card type" - but I know that it is

Ordered with Vodafone in the end. The O2 tariffs (although available earlier than expected!) were not good enough to entice me to stay as was over £200 more. Got Vodafone employee discount as my employer is registered with them and 24m Spotify premium for £58pm and £200 upfront. Delivery Friday.

I’ve purchased my iPhone X from Argos, they are only charging the RRP for both models not over £100 more like o2 and, nothing to pay for 6 months. A better option than refresh I feel.

already showing over 6 weeks on the 256GB space grey

no brainer if you have £1000 to spare!

[fourqtwo]

Not really sell/recycle your old and pay that into Argos account which reduces the balance and save up during the 6 month period make another payment then spread any balance left in monthly payment, I’m retired so iPhone X will be my last one and I certainly don’t have £1000, just look for cost effective options.

I am also having the same issue. Anyone have any solutions?

Yes, it wont accept 'card type' until it shows a graphic for Visa (or Mastercard etc) under the card number. Try refreshing the page, that's what I had to do.

Thanks for that. The refresh solved it.
