Mobile Phones Direct - One (M7) General

For anyone who ordered their HTC One from MobilePhonesDirect, I received this update today:
"We are waiting for volume confirmation from HTC early next week.
Due to the bank holiday period we are unable to get firm dates on the deliveries of the HTC One in both colours.
We aim to send out an update email to all pre order customers by Wednesday of next week, 3rd April 2013.
We apologise that there has been an unforeseen delay due to HTC postponing the release of the handset in any large volume.
Mobile Phones Direct will be back in touch next Wednesday as mentioned above."
So it looks like we wont see deliveries until next week,

I anticipated as much anyway. Thanks for the update mate. I never got this email.

Just for info. I cancelled my deal with these as there was in identical deal with affordable mobile who were charging around £15 cheaper for the upfront phone purchase. When I phoned them to see if they would match it they said no. I said screw you and went somewhere else. Be worth checking as both were advertising through uSwitch.

Mines bought now. Good deal either way. As long as mine turns up with no gaps and works well, I'm happy.
I will certainly be visually inspecting it physically before I even turn it on and I won't be inserting the sim card immediately either.

Also cancelled my order as they were inflexible re price. Managed to get it for 30 pounds cheaper AND a free Media Link

I tried to negotiate with a few carriers but none could beat MPD, affordable mobiles has the same deal £10 cheaper but I'm going to wait and see what MPD say on wednesday.

When I placed my order at MPD, it was 60 up front, 26 a month x 24 months, 500 min unltd texts, unltd data.
I got the same deal at Affordable Mobiles except for 30 up front and I also get the Media link(value around 50pounds) free. So saved 30 and a free media link. I am certainly not complaining with that. Cannot bring myself to pay more than that a month for a phone, no matter how good it is.

Hi
Just done what you did, cancelled my order with MPD and ordered from Affordable Mobiles.
Had to go through uswitch to get the offer.
Thanks for the heads up.

Sorry should have mentioned that. I also went through uswitch

Same here. I paid 40 quid , and will be 26 a month. Ultd txt net and 500 mins. T Mobile.
I'm happy with that tbh. I'm gonna see if mine comes next week.
A note to all. When you get your phone , BEFORE you turn it on physically check it over and then try turning it on without sim card in. You will be in better position to return if your handset is dodgy.

Good point. After all the posts I have read so far, I will certainly be giving my phone the Once over before it is turned on. Really hope the guy I spoke to at Affordable mobiles was correct when saying that they would be delivered next week(now this week) as all the major carriers were now sorted out. I last release device I got was the Original Desire. It is nice to get them when released if for the right price( like the One).

They say that you shouldnt put sim in till after youve fully checked the device over. It stops the retailers from having any qualms about you returning it.

Just an update. Mobile Phones Direct on their site, now state, " Order now for next working day delivery ".
So this seems promising. I hope.

Indeed that's a hopeful sign my pre-order from February 25th for a Silver HTC One might just be soon on its way. My last email contact from them said stock arriving Tuesday 2nd April for delivery 3rd April. I certainly hope so because otherwise what is the point of pre-ordering when it seems you can walk into any P4U or 3 shop and pick them up. I have had enough of watching all the video reviews now! Lets get it in my hands!

Agreed, and will do, although last year I bought an XPlay from dial a phone and ended up sending back 3 phones because of a constant reboot issue and they did not once question it(within the 28 days) I ended up with my E3D as a result because I could not be without a phone. Good decision because I love my E3D. I won't have an issue at all sending it back if it is not right. It makes it much easier that it will be bought online as you have more rights of return.

My last contact from MobilephonesDirect was today, when it seems they replied to my query with a copy n paste jobbie ( See below )
Dear Carl
We are waiting for volume confirmation from HTC this week
Due to the bank holiday period we are unable to get firm dates on the deliveries of the HTC One in both colours.
We aim to send out an update email to all pre order customers by Wednesday 3rd April 2013.
We apologise that there has been an unforeseen delay due to HTC postponing the release of the handset in any large volume.
Mobile Phones Direct will be back in touch on Wednesday as mentioned above.

I don't think there would be many issues with sending a phone back if it developed a fault ( even if you put Sim card in ) but, I do remember seeing messages on the internet from various people complaining that retailers such as MPD / affordable mobiles and Dialaphone, have been very difficult with regards to people sending their handsets back after it messed up in a couple of weeks or so.
Something on the lines of " They said i cant send it back because when i put the sim in i agreed to their contract " Blaa Blaa Blaaa.
I'm a bit more savvy myself and would just lay down the rules and quote references from the sales of good act here in the UK or what ever it is. Shops tend to sh!t themselves when you bring out the big guns lol. But some people DO try it on.
I've pre-ordered a silver one myself. Hoping it comes in good working order.

Hey Vizzy. I spoke to them on Thursday last week to confirm my media link(was not mentioned when going through with the deal online) and then asked them when delivery would take place. The gut said that they would be getting them on Tuesday and delivering either next day or day after so we should receive them Thursday/friday. Holding thumbs it is before the weekend so I can spend some quality time with it over the weekend.

I can't wait for mine either but i can't help but think that they could have predicted huge demand for either there nexus 4 and 10 with the huge spec and low cost....
I'll be upset if my order is delayed because of them... its Google one of the biggest company's in the world. This should be child's play for them
Good luck with your order, call them. They are open 24/7

Thanks! You too. I will let you know what I find out after I call them...
ABSOLUTE JOKE!!!!
Ordered in the UK as soon as it was available. Took half an hour as the site was throwing error after error due to the number of people trying to buy Nexus products.
In the end I got TWO orders and I only had one successful order on-screen
Was told they couldn't cancel either. Multiple phone calls and escalations later and one has been cancelled, but the other is just in state "pre-ordered" and none of the staff know what that order status even means! They've had to escallate the issue.
No tracking. No payment taken. Yet it is supposed to arrive by tomorrow.
Dreadful experience from the Google Play store. Absolute shambles.

Just called them again. Now claiming it is two days for them to sort out shipping, then two days to ship! So four days total!!!!
Just called them. The guy I spoke to says that my order is being process. He say that it takes up to 2 days to process the order and that it should be shipped by tomorrow.

Kinda feels like you're being jipped, paying 14 bucks for 2-day shipping, but having to wait for 2 days to have them "process" it.
Nexus 10 order received, put in box, pack with peanuts, close box, label box, put box on truck. Its not rocket science.
I got my shipped email. My tracking reference shows it as being delivered to Christchurch on 1 November. Will give them a call tomorrow and find out what gives!!
Mines tracking too but the consignment numbers take up to 24 hours to update to the new system. Be patient, you'll get your goods.
Which means they're early by one day.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Mines was ordered by my father as a birthday/Christmas gift. He ordered it, sent to my address but used his gmail account so I can't see shipping info. He forwarded me order number but I can't tell if its been shipped! I also live in CA not far from the order details Google address.
Is there any way I can track it using the order number? I know I'm borderline obsessing but I want to make sure a roommate is home when it arrives
Sent from my EVO using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
I ordered just after 8am in UK, some people who ordered at kid day have had tracking numbers already.
Over 36 hours later and my order still says pending, and I called up to be told it'll ship by early next week.
Why on earth am I paying £10 for them to take a week to ship me something?
Sometimes I wish my parents gifted me with patience.

yea mine says its been delivered in Leeds... must be something strange going on with tracking... surely they couldn't mes this bit up ! hopefully i get it tomorrow
I'm really not happy with the way google are handling this. ****ty ass ordering experience on top of that I was within the first half hour to place my order and thing is still not shipped yet more than 24 hrs later.

Does that mean you have to go back in time to get it on the 1st? All I ever heard was how good Google is with this stuff, and it doesn't seem like they were ready... I guess with any big release there are going to be issues.

CPW - why no stocks

Pre ordered from CPW and got a text the other day saying delayed and will now be delivered by April 3rd instead of 15th march originally. Why are they not getting stocks and delivering if other places are?
Why order from them? They are expensive, no stock, cancel them then order from p4u ...
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda app-developers app
I've always used them. No more expensive than anywhere else and I want the beats headphones rather than a case.
I have ordered in store through cpw to be delivered to the shop, despite customer service being shocking. Cant wait to get it, but they dont seem to be giving any information out as to when. Not even a guidance date. Keep convincing myself good things come to those who wait,
3rd April is all I've been told, will just have to wait :/
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I got told the 3rd of April aswell for the Silver
I went into EE today who said they might have stock on the 25th or I might just go for P4U!
Anyone heard anything else from CPW?
I've ordered on 3 and in black from CPW only for the free Beats Solo! I've not had a confirmation email or nothing yet.

I'm very sorry to hear you are still waiting to receive your HTC One.

I can confirm unfortunately due to the national delay of the HTC One launch all orders will not be dispatched until the 29/03/13.
*
There is a potential further delay with the delivery of your order due to the launch of the HTC One coinciding with Easter. However we do expect to fulfil all orders by the 3/04/13.

Vodafone UK Orders

Hi,
Just letting people known that I ordered my One direct through Vodafone last Friday and it was delivered today, despite the fact they told me at least 3 weeks on the phone. A pleasant surprise!
Anyway, I thought I would let people know in case they are still waiting or just looking for somewhere to get one quickly!

I had a similar experience. They actually tried to deliver yesterday but to a wrong address. When I called to change they said I was basically lying and it would be a few weeks.
Today I got the text again and it turned up! The whole thing is pretty messed up by the sounds of it! Haven't managed to get home and open it yet, hope they haven't sent me a One X :'(

Spoke to voda customer services this morning regarding my order for the black one and they told me that there is an 8-10 day wait at the moment as they haven't received the stock from HTC.
Sent from my HTC One X
Mine is the silver model
Is your device locked or unlocked? Did you get the free HTC flip case? My silver HTC One should arrive tomorrow. I was surprised that they have stock given how popular I was expecting this device to be. I ordered on the 12 month tariff, as over 12 months the overall cost is not that different to buying SIM free.
I got my one black on 12 month @ 44 a month unlimited mins and text with 2gb and free handset and I shaved 3 months off my 12 month one X contract as they let you upgrade after 9 but that's all pointless as I'm still waiting for my device lol

How did you shave 3 months of your contract? Upgrading 3 months early to a new 12 month contract normally just means that you now effectively have a 15 month contract (i.e. the new 12 month contract only starts after your old one expires, you just commit to it 3 months earlier).

I have finally been able to unpack my new HTC One (in silver). I pre-ordered the black one on Vodafone UK on 28th February, but after hearing about the delays I called them on 15th March to change to the silver one. They then delivered it on 20th March but I was out of country since then.
I don't regret switching to the silver, it looks amazing! I was torn between the two colours anyway, so if you want it quicker it might help to switch to silver. I don't have any gaps or overhang issues by the way, it looks very well built.
It seems to be branded though, as there is a Vodafone logo showing up at startup and shutdown. I received the free cover by the way, and also some cheaply built looking headphones (black with red ear buds), which might be from Beats or whatever it's called but their cheapest version.
Just saw this quoted on Vodafone UK's support forum, no mention of silver or black, its dated 26th of this month.
HTC has confirmed there’s a delay to the shipments of the HTC One and, sadly, that means we’ll have to wait a little bit longer than we’d hoped before you can get your hands on your new phone.
We’re aiming to have the phones in people’s hands no later than Wednesday 3 April but we’ll update customers directly once we have more information on individual orders.

How did you shave 3 months of your contract? Upgrading 3 months early to a new 12 month contract normally just means that you now effectively have a 15 month contract (i.e. the new 12 month contract only starts after your old one expires, you just commit to it 3 months earlier).

I have finally been able to unpack my new HTC One (in silver). I pre-ordered the black one on Vodafone UK on 28th February, but after hearing about the delays I called them on 15th March to change to the silver one. They then delivered it on 20th March but I was out of country since then.
I don't regret switching to the silver, it looks amazing! I was torn between the two colours anyway, so if you want it quicker it might help to switch to silver. I don't have any gaps or overhang issues by the way, it looks very well built.
It seems to be branded though, as there is a Vodafone logo showing up at startup and shutdown. I received the free cover by the way, and also some cheaply built looking headphones (black with red ear buds), which might be from Beats or whatever it's called but their cheapest version.

As far as I'm aware my new contract ends of the 5th march 2014, 1 year from my Pre order date
Also submitted a £50 top cash back claim so hopefully that will come in too!

Spoke to Vodafone this evening and the lady said there looking to get black in for the 28th there was a note on her system whether that means there looking to receive stock tomorrow which will be out for the 28th or they get stock in then she didn't know
I tend to find if you get an offshore customer service adviser they have no clue what's going on thou...

Silver. But note the free case is not worth having. Does not close properly and hinders typing when used in portrait mode.

Spoke to Vodafone customer services late last night and they advised me to ring back today to change my order from the black to the silver. The guy told me that the black handset has been delayed again by HTC as there seems to be an issue with the colour. He said it was upto a 3 week delay.
So........I rang the sales line this morning and they told me the exact same thing - the black handset has been delayed by HTC yet again due to "some problem with the black paint". He was midway through cancelling my order and said "oh, I'm really sorry about this, but it looks like we don't have any silver handsets left either, I know that a lot of people were switching from black to silver but I had no idea it was that many!!"
In the end I decided to keep my order as it is and wait another 3 weeks for the black one. As an apology he also said vodafone would credit my account with 1 months line rental the day I ring to tell them I'd recieved my handset. Not a bad result in the end.

I ordered 9am launch day. Had my silver about 2 weeks now, black is finally turning up. Dont think many orders would have been placed before mine. Reassuring to know they're adhering to some kind of appropriately queued system.

Affordable Mobiles Orders

Thought to start a thread for those of us that have ordered from their website.
I ordered a Black One last week via uSwitch. The £30 upfront fee has been deducted(not sure if they deduct straight away when ordering) on 02.04 and T-Mo have done their in and out of £2. When I called yesterday I was told that they will send an email before they ship, which I am still waiting for. They also said that they were expecting stock in yesterday, but I assume that was BS as their facebook page is saying next week in many instances.
I've spoken to them twice today and in the morning I was told stock will be in either today or tomorrow and in the afternoon they told me that they've received an email from HTC saying the delivery has been delayed till next week and they're looking at Tuesday (9th) or Wednesday (10th) for posting the handsets at the earliest.
Called tmobile direct to see if they can match the pricing but won't budge from £26pm for the tariff and £170 for the handset up front which is ridiculous.
Will just have to sit back and wait now.
That really sucks. Will just have to be patient I suppose. Not too worried about waiting another week I suppose it will arrive One day
Ordered on 23rd March, they informed me that they would have a stock update today (6th). Got shipping email last night for 24 hr delivery, so should be here today!! Can't wait!
Ordered my black One Thursday night 10pm. Friday 5th they received silver but no black. Apparently they are getting both in on Monday 8th.
My case had came, just no phone yet. They said I am getting the media link so all is well.
T-Mobile £26 a month. £30 upfront for the phone, except I got £40 cash back which has already been confirmed .

Ordered my black One Tuesday afternoon while they were stating in stock but allow 24 to 48 hours for delivery.
Nothing yet.
Am hoping they come in early next week so I don't have to make arrangements to be home!
Have been tempted to get a silver One from a Three store but have resisted!
£34 for the One Plan, clearly designed with The One in mind, hah, and £40 Quidco and the media link!

I'm guessing its not just me the site isn't working for ?

Just rang them up. They have only received the silver One's today and apparently they have a lot more orders for the silver than the black. They should be receiving the Black One's tomorrow it Wednesday. Just hope they have enough stock to ship my order.

They told me today via Facebook that they're hoping to get some black ones in some time this week, but can't guarantee it.
They have had more silver today, but still no black

When I spoke to the guy, he said that perhaps today or tomorrow they would get them in. Holding thumbs by tomorrow at least.

Have heard they've now run out of media links. Quite annoying for me, as it's the only reason I changed my order over from buymobilephones.net.

Did you email them to confirm you would receive one? I made a point of doing this so that if they do not send me one I can ring and abuse them.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using Tapatalk 2
Well I took the plunge and signed up to the £26 T-Mobile deal and 29.99 upfront because it seemed such a good deal! Not to mention the HTC media thing (if I get one!)
Got all the way to the end and it said I'd been referred and the number on the refer page didn't ring / nobody answered. Then got 2 missed calls from a T-Mobile 0845 number and haven't heard anything since! No emails either.
Emailed the [email protected] address and had a standard email saying about credit checks might delay orders and rang t-mobile and they have no record of anything so I'm in limbo-land! I guess I got somewhere because I had the 2 missed calls but not had anything since!
Here's hoping that everything goes through and there's little delay!
Ordered my silver one on the 28th and it arrived this morning with no sign of any media link. Spoke to them via Facebook and they said they had run out of media links as they were limited. However, I have read they others have received this that ordered after me, so not a happy bunny as you can imagine.
Still the phones a bit special and well worth the wait

They had better have one for me. I called specifically to confirm that I would be getting one as it did not show when i pre-ordered and they said that I would be. I cancelled my 02.03.13 order on MPD because this was marginally cheaper AND they were giving the Media Link free. If I dont get it I will be p....ed, and they will hear all about it.
I called Buy Mobile Phones today to ask if it were likely that I'd receive a black One sooner if I were to order with them now rather than keep my order with Affordable Mobiles.
He said that they both share the same stock pool, which is interesting as both companies have different addresses, though both are A1 Comms. I asked if they had ever received black handsets, to which he replied that they had, but they were sent back due to a quality issue.
The main reason I called is that BMP have a customer area and they answer the phone a lot quicker than AM! I don't know if BMP have priority though, being the parent company.
I read on Facebook that Mobile Phones Direct are emailing all waiting customers daily, no matter how small the news. Goes a long way though!

Affordable Mobiles nightmare
I avoided Affordable Mobiles this year after an horrendous episode with them last year. Basically even after confirming my cancellation for a One X, they went ahead and allowed a contract with three to complete, it took me weeks to get things sorted and never received any sort of apology. I've always got phones online through these type of resellers but this year I went straight into one of my local three stores, ten minutes later walked out with a new HTC One Silver.
The reason I did this was after googling how to dismantle the htc one, I learned that it's virtually impossible to repair the phone screen. I can only imagine the trouble I would have with the likes of Affordable Mobiles in trying to get a repair. Was assured by three that the phone would not be sent away if repair was needed but would be replaced. That sealed the deal for me.
Had mine 10 days now and it's awesome. I would advise avoiding the double dip official flip case, it's awful.
I hope you all enjoy your new phones when they arrive

Thats the date it is supposed to leave AT&T's possession. Depending on what shipping option you have, will depend on what day you receive it. IF you have the 2nd day FedEx, you should get it on the 16th (latest).
HOWEVER, there is a shipping date range. So if they ship it on the 16th, you will not get it until Monday the 20th. In addition, there has been a report (I have only seen 1 of these reports, but there could be more) of AT&T sedning emails that their shipping may be delayed due to shortage. Due to the lack of others not reporting this email (including me) and I am not so sure it is delayed for most people. Since TMO is shipping already, it is very possible that the AT&T has them in stock already and is prepping them to go out.
So the final answer to your question is ... I don't know, and neither does anyone else. The next few days is all we can say.
The earliest estimated ship date is the 14th. That's when they will hand them over to Fedex, UPS, etc. The phone doesn't officially release on AT&T until the 17th.
I was told I should have mine by Thurs. According to AT&T customer service. I ordered on first day of preorder and mine says estimate shipping 14th to 16th . Rep said it will ship out Tue. I'm not expecting until Friday honestly. However ,I got my preordered Note 1 on Thurs when it was was released in store on Friday . Crossing fingers!

Lol after nearly almost a month and att encourages to wait a bit more hahaha, sure teaching us how to be patient. Im quite desperate since im stuck at the moment with a galaxy note i717 tht has a cracked screen, mad slow, extreme wake lock issues, sometimes screen wont respond to the touch, lol after all I did had to change the glass about 2 times and I accidentally overheated the bottom part which also left a mark. Still works though lol. By the way it has tape all over the screen to keep the shattered glass from cutting me haha.

Man this blows, I've seen online that several TMO customers already had their phones delivered today and are in possession of them while we lowly AT&T customers who preordered on day one don't even have them mail out yet

Never fear, it could be worse. Yes, TMo get it today, but we are at least second. Verizon isn't until next week, and the UK missed their release and got it moved back to Friday with ours. Ours could be the smoothest.. maybe.
Anyone hear of the shipment yet? Status on AT&T's site is the same for me "preparing for shipment" with a date of 14-16th for the estimated shipping date.
