    where do you have to collect from?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 690 ✭✭✭Frankmagnet


    Rep will be in Dublin and let them know if i can meet him. Better stop talking bout this because the thread will be locked because it is not general iphone chat.

    Sorry Mod Dubwireless, moving off the topic now. Just a bit of confusion for awhile. Hope u understand :)

    Anyway the case i ordered for my iphone arrived today. Iqase flip 2. Seems like a very nice case. Judging by the case the iphone is alot smaller than I thought it would be:) Also got 2 screen protectors.

    Nice one mate.

    I have to say that I have found them excellent at answering e-mails as well.

    Was it today or yesterday that you met with them?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,680 ✭✭✭Skyuser


    I'm collecting one tomorrow in Dublin, haven't been told where/when. Somebody on here said they didn't turn up the other day......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,409 ✭✭✭madmoe


    Hey lads,
    Had some bother with unlocking my iPhone (bought seperatley from unlockthatiphone) and mailed the guy in Cork from unlockthatiphone, I have to say he was so sound and nothing but helpful! I must have sent him at least 10 e-mails. I'd say ye have nothing to worry about. It takes a bit of time to fully unlock them (1 hour or more) so if they were delayed in customs and they had a lot to unlock that in itself could add an extra day to the wait time.

    Cheers,
    M

    If anyone picked up their phone in dublin whereabouts did u meet the rep? Waiting on an email back to tell me where to meet them. Hope i get an email later, heading to dublin early in the morning

    how come their site is "Under Maintenance" for so very long!? Doesn't anybody have a Phone or Mobile contact?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,260 ✭✭✭Elessar

    I'm guessing they got a call/letter from Apple Legal. That or the iPhones they are importing now have 1.1.1 installed (they are selling them atm in the US) so cant offer anyone unlocked phones anymore.

    Hey guys, I can't get YouTube working at all :-( I downloaded the files as suggested above and put them in the directory specified but still no joy.

    Any ideas guys?

    It's beyond me how Unlocktheiphone got an award for outstanding service, quality and commitment because they literally don't reply to e-mails. Now i'm just gonna have to look at buying one off ebay or something.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,260 ✭✭✭Elessar


    :D

    Dev-team have found an exploit in 1.1.1! It's a tiff file that when run causes Safari to crash (yeah, the same tiff that cracked the PSP) and from reports we're getting, they have successfully run code through it :D

    I bet an unlock is only days away :D

    Yes, you will have to unlock them. However it's not that straight forward, if you get an iphone pre-installed with the new firmware (released last week) there is currently no way to unlock them but the hackers are apparently working hard to remedy that. But if you pick one up that has the old firmware on it you will have no problems if you follow the unlock tutorials (some listed on this thread a few pages back).

    Hi again guys,
    Glad ye got the iPhones, is anyone having issues with YouTube? It will not work for me at all, I have only tried on WiFi, not on EDGE yet though. I have a feeling it will not work though.
