    So I'm 36th on the list. Any guesses as to how long it will take before I'm in receipt of a precious invite? If each invitee gets three invites and circulates those to the other members of the list my limited maths skills reckon the following will be the case:-

    1 = 3 = 9 = 27 = 81

    So how long does it take each round of invites to materialise into a new round of invites being issued?

    If there was a week between using an invite to purchase the phone and then receiving 3 invites which were immediately re-issued to the list and used same day by the recipients it looks like it will be 4-5 weeks by the time people between 28 and 81 on the list will receive invites and that assumes everything goes 100% smoothly.

    Am I any way correct?

    Simple answer is :we don't know.

    They [oneplus] haven't said anything about the turnaround time of invites after buying from them. From what I see it's completely random as I'm seeing people who paid for the phone after me get invites to share before me, likewise with people who haven't paid for it also getting them.

    We had a good run last month where a load of people (inc myself) managed to get one but from that time its been slow. I was kinda hoping the 10.000 invites promo would kick it into gear once more but nothing yet. But the fact is we have quite a few people here now waiting for them to pass on here..

    I still feel that they (oneplus) are close to just lashing out the invites as they build up for the supposed pre-ordering invite-less system they want to do soon.

    At least 5 times a day i'm back on the oneplus site seeing if my invites are in yet and as soon as they are this thread will be the first to know!


    Also remember that as the invites are time dependent sometimes the people next on the list cant respond in time so the invite jumps the Que to someone who can use it there and then... we had this where an invite jumped about 10 peeps as none where there and it had almost run out of time.... so I suppose those who stick close by the thread will have a better chance of getting it quicker.

    The only thing you can do benthere is to keep an eye on here, last week myself and yaba were offering invites to people from the list that were shared to us, I personally sent nearly 14 pms asking if people wanted the phone to let me know within a certain time frame, only one replied saying they couldnt purchase it that time. I then decided to post that the highest person on the list would get an invite if they pmed me by a certain time. by 11 I had gotten all my answers and only 3 people had gotten back to me.
    I understand that people arent sitting in front of the pc like me most days, and its not always viable but usually its said the night before if anyone has an invite and there is a high chance of it happening again and again if people dont reply to pms

    Read it. Chancing my arm. I have never found it harder to offload 350. I wish they would just shut up and take my money.

    Was offered an invite during the week and was unable to take it up at the time due to lack of funds - would like to say I'm now a bit more flush so can take full advantage! Hopefully I still retain my place in the queue.

    PM sent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,170 ✭✭✭✭ED E


    I got one, gave it to a friend, and now the gf wants one. The list will probably be too long for me, but just in case if I could be added that'd be great.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,634 ✭✭✭✭yabadabado


    List updated.

    PM's sent 2 people with invites and ionapaul has accepted one from the lads on hangouts.

    Thanks for this - phone has been ordered!

    Please add me to the invite list, I've been unlucky with the bloody competitions on OPO, even though I had a 1 in 8 chance on the last one. I've been sitting here with an unlimited eircom sim and a broken Xperia Z for a month now. Cheers.

    Hi all, who wants an invite? First to respond gets it. It runs out in 9 hours though so be quick. Also don't take it if your not gonna buy it, I'll give it to someone on the oneplus one forum instead!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 763 ✭✭✭Dar


    me!

    Invite sent. Sorry to all the others. Just felt good to give something away spur of the moment. And since I haven't been following this thread, just the proper oneplus one forum, apologies for not sending to someone on the boards list. I honestly don't even know it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,449 ✭✭✭fixXxer


    For the people who have got invites after purchasing, do oneplus get in touch to let you know you have an invite or should I be checking my oneplus account regularly?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,900 ✭✭✭daytob


    Mine was just in my email addy registered to oneplus


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭take everything


    I'm using the UK Antrim address as my shipping address and my own address (the one i use with paypal) as my billing address.
    Is this correct because it keeps saying "can't ship to this address" during the checkout process.
    Any ideas.
    Thanks
