Guest sgeary Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 Ordered my Qtek 9100 on vodafone @ buymobilephones.net early Wed afternoon and still no dispatch! I rang before and the guy said there still waiting to hear from Vodafone to accept the contract so not mad at buymobiles mad at vodafone how slow are they im getting so impatient. So looks like im waiting until Monday now!!! Not happy :evil: ;) :evil:
Guest mrdo Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 that's a bummer. mine is stuck at the courier's. sigh.
Guest treefrog Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 Hi, Not very happy with Buymobilephones myself. I ordered my 9100 last Friday and Buymobilephones got them in on Wednesday. On Wednesday they told me that it would be dispatched that day, or "at the very latest tomorrow" (Thurs). Phoned them today and they said they were still waiting for Vodaphone. So one broken promise and they now they're not willing to give a date at all. Of course I have to take their word that it's Vodaphone's delay - they could have other reasons for not wanting / being able to ship... God knows why they didn't start the paperwork with Vodaphone when I placed the order last week. Well, if anyone can suggest an alternative supplier (for total cost of 339 / 18 month contract) then I'd happily cancel my order as I feel pretty messed about. I guess as always you get what you pay for. Dave
Guest jonhitch Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 I'm still waiting to pick mine up from the courier. Was hoping they would drop off at a neigbours but that hasn't happened! I hope this little beauty will be worth the wait!
Guest Rob.P Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 I seemed to have suffered less with getting mine from Buymobilephones.net, I got mine on an O2 contract and it was delivered today. Wasn't in at the time and the Interlink Courier left it in the bin for me, thought I would have ahd to sign for it.

Guest jonhitch Posted October 21, 2005 Report Posted October 21, 2005 Same here - no problems with the O2 contract. I just wasn't keen for them to leave £500 worth of mobile phone outside. They may (hopefully) deliver today and if my neighbour is in (the lovely Kiera!) I'll have it tonight. If not there's a trip to the depot tomorrow morning :?:
Guest mcwarre Posted October 21, 2005 Report Posted October 21, 2005 my neighbour is in (the lovely Kiera!) You live next door to Keira Knightley??? OMG :exclaim: :exclaim:
Guest jonhitch Posted October 21, 2005 Report Posted October 21, 2005 I wish! Al though she's a bit of a babe ;) As for my 9100 the saga continues. I call up Interlink to check why the phone wasn't delivered on Wed as I was informed it would be (when I called on Tue). They said 'sorry we have no comments on the system, your package has been sent back to the supplier'. I'm seriously annoyed by this :evil: I was looking forward to getting this tonight or picking up tomorrow morning. now I have to wait for it to be received by buymobilephones and sent out again! Looks like it will probably be the end of next week till I get my new phone! Wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't disconnected by Voda just under 2 weeks ago as I'd assumed I would have my 9100 by then! :D Rant over. Hope you all have less trouble than me!
Guest mcwarre Posted October 21, 2005 Report Posted October 21, 2005 I wish! Al though she's a bit of a babe ;) Could we set you up? You could be the first Modaco wedding!!! Paul would have to buy a new hat for it just like Cilla :D :D
Guest rolywalter Posted October 21, 2005 Report Posted October 21, 2005 I ordered mine yesterday (on O2) before lunch - got my tracking number but Interlink appear to have never heard of it - I typed it into their website system. It's supposed to arrive today, according to BuyMobilePhones - anyone have any experience of the tracking number not being on their website but them still delivering the goods?
Guest sgeary Posted October 21, 2005 Report Posted October 21, 2005 Update for people who are getting it on Voda. I rang up and asked why my order hadnt been dispatched yet and the guy says its gone through and were waiting for the numbet to be ported over to Voda. so i asked why they hadnt sent the phone out. he replied its our policy not to send the phone out with voda until the number has ported as vodafone dont give out temporary numbers if your only goin to have it for a week while your number gets ported over!! Not sure whether to belive this not sure how it all works. What do you guys make of this?
Guest Rob.P Posted October 21, 2005 Report Posted October 21, 2005 I don't think that's too far from the truth, it's only Orange and O2 that will port numbers over at varying times once your contract has started and you have already got a temporary number. Word to the wise, don't forget to phone up your operators CS Dept and double check you have got all the bits and pieces you asked for on your tariff. I found out today that I'm actually on a buisiness tariff, which is not really that much different except for the data part which I need to change.
Guest treefrog Posted October 21, 2005 Report Posted October 21, 2005 Hi, I'm not porting any number - but it's still taken 3 days just to get a Voda connection. When I spoke to Buymobilephones earlier today they were again saying that Vodaphone were still processing the connection and so they couldn't send out any phones. They said that they were 'installing a new computer system' in the next few weeks to sort it all out. In the end, if it is true, then they must be pretty p*ssed off with Vodaphone as it can't be good for their business to have new customers being held off for days with phones in stock while Vodaphone screw about. It's the first time I've ever ordered a phone off the net and had this sort of carry on from any operator. Anyway, had a few fairly stern words for them at 5 o'clock today and lo-and-behold 45 minutes later my phone has finally been shipped :-) Would like to think that I had some influence but I think presumably they finally managed to get through to Vodaphone last thing today. I guess lots of impatient / let down customers on the phone to them all the time might have concentrated their attention ;-) Dave Hehe... the only good thing is that I'm blatantly just going to use Vodaphone just to get a cheaper phone... I'll be buggered if I'm going to make a single call on their network now after they've treated me like this. It's karma you know ;-)

I gave the sales the PAC # when I ordered the phone. Vodafone OK'd everything that day & my Qtek arrived the next day with an inactive Voda sim card with a covering letter showing the date it my number will be ported & the Voda sim card will be active. It sounds like buymobiles maybe don't have the stock available & are playing delaying tactics.

It still says they have plenty of stock!!!
