Seems to have gone quiet in here recently - hopefully that means that we are all receiving our new iPhones?

Is anyone still waiting for theirs?

well... you say that ...

 

so probably!

 

But has anyone witnessed their X creping off the Qi Charger from Belkin?  if I lay mine flat on it's back - the coil charge is creating such miniscule vibrations that it slides slowly off the charger!!!

 

I have had to lay it face down (so now I can't just tap to see the battery level) - anyone else had this issue!?

@Anonymous I have 2 of the Belkin chargers and haven’t seen any sliding. Really pleased with them and loving wireless charging at last with the iPhone X. Have you tried it on a different surface? Other than that could yours be faulty?

Life is just a game, the rules of which are only explained to us when the game is over.

Another Belkin charging pad owner here - and have never had the "vibration" problem. Mine seems to work fine -  I don't notice any vibration.

We have no idea.
@Marjo might be able to find out or @Chris_K ?
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

I have the same issue; I have purchased Apple watch series 3 from Currys unlocked to all networks. I have contacted O2 to get it activated .....to be told that O2 us not offering connection as yet. I am aware that watch will work fine withinnthe phone range but this is not the point, Otherwise i would of purchased cheeper watch option. We need O2 to offer this option because there is a reason why this type of watch i purchased and without doubt the rest of the customers do too.

Does anyone know when O2 will offer an Apple watch contract?  I have been with O2 for a long time and would prefer to stay with them rather than move to EE.

@Anonymous  so far there is no news of this happening. EE is the only network that offers contracts for the new Apple Watch

See a similar thread here https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Pay-Monthly/Apple-Watch-3/m-p/1093126/highlight/true#M141242

A recent article explaining why O2 isn't offering it yet https://www.macworld.co.uk/news/apple/when-will-apple-watch-3-lte-come-o2-3664181/

The only person who can give us up to date info is @Chris_K
