Hey, I ordered the iPhone 4 online through Vodafone (I live in Sydney, NSW) and just wanted to see if anyone else has and their feedback on it. They were meant to email me a confirmation and never did. I can track it but all that shows up is

30/07/2010 10:00 AM Order Incomplete
30/07/2010 01:52 PM Order Received

and i'm hoping it went through correctly, not too sure

has anyone else ordered from them online?
any feedback would be great

also they said it would take up to 10 days for delivery (in store as well), It seems too good to be true considering Apple stores aren't getting stock in for another 3 weeks but we'll see

thanks guys

Yep – many have encountered same – most are documented in the 'Vodafone Iphone 4 Plans' thread.

I ordered mine a little after you @ 10:27am.

as of right now (thought i'd check it b4 hitting the sack) remains stuck on:

30/07/2010 10:26 AM Order Incomplete
30/07/2010 10:34 AM Order Received

No email received either. I rang them later in the day, girl I spoke to sounded very tired after a Loooong day of IPHONE queries (!!) but said the system had crashed in the morning and was struggling to keep up ever since. She assured me if it said 'received' it was, but she didn't actually check in the system. I should have insisted, but took pity on her ;-)

I'm hoping we will see the status change/email received tomorrow else will chase again. I'm hoping our orders have not gone into cyberspace.....

OH, I ordered the 16GB unit and the VF site has a 'delivery update' for IP4 – seems these are still proposing 1-3 weeks delivery...32GB units have a longer delay.

I called sales this morning just to make sure it hadn't fallen through the cracks, only took me about 10 mins to get through, and the girl checked, said it was definitely there and that the system was so inundated it was taking a long time for orders to be processed, which was pretty much what I assumed.

Hold on second, i ordered on Friday and i'm not with Vodafone previously. Are they gonna start billing me monthly charges when they haven't even sent the phone and i possibly won't get it until the first month is over?

I'm still currently (contractless) using Optus, is that even legal? Before my number is ported, before my account is properly activated, they're gonna start billing me?

Just spoke to Voda sales, the change from “awaiting stock” to “processing” is merely a wording change.

Apparently their system has always said awaiting stock (for all phones) even if the phones were in stock and it confused people so they have changed it to “processing.

They had stock yesterday and that is all gone, as my order got stuck in the “credit check” loop it has now been pushed back and it will be 1-2 weeks. Not happy Jan.

So if you haven’t already been notified about delivery, it won’t be happening this week.

Someone raised this query (re changing from awaiting stock to order at warehouse processing) on the vodafone facebook page.

Reply is as follows –

"I’m happy to confirm that we have received a new shipment of iPhone 4 stock at our warehouse today. As promised, this stock will be used to supply customers who have already ordered an iPhone. I can also confirm that the status change means your order fulfilled and in progress. A consignment tracking number will be available over the next couple of days.

Mine changed aswell – voda have also stated that deliveries are generally on Fridays. :)

woman said id receive it in 5-10 days, its been 5 days obviously, i called up to check to see if it was on schedule and the chick said id get it in 4-6 weeks? what the hell?
i didnt have time to talk to her on the spot i just wanted to check up, so i tried calling again and vodafone keeps saying "handling more calls than we can handle, call back later", been trying for the last 30mins.

so i checked out my tracking, and it comes up with this.

O.P.

you can't really count on the stock count, one cause it's over exaggerated so people won't complain they were told 3 weeks and it came in 5 for example (clearly as seen by the posts on here it hasn't worked at all)

also another thing to keep in mind the stock count is going off if you order the iphone at that moment it would take x amount of weeks, for those who ordered it on the 30th you'd expect the wait to be a lot shorter as the second shipment came in on wednesday and it did cover a few more orders, sadly not mine haha

well, i finally got through after 1hr of trying to call them, the guy i spoke to was very nice, and stated that they haven been told different information by Apple,saying that they will ship out heaps of them to voda and then later stating that they will have shipments out weekly, but not at the amount of iPhones they were originally meant to process to the telco's like telstra/optus/voda. So limited shipments, because they cant make enough for everyone apparently. So it went from a 5-10day wait, to a 4-6week wait, everyone else is in the same boat and we just have to play the waiting game, He offered that anyone who has started a new contract has the option to cancel, but if you still want an iphone your just gonna set yourself to the end of the line again because its out of stock everywhere.

Well, At least most people's orders have made it to the warehouse.

Vodafone received my order 38 minutes after it went on sale, yet it is still in the 'Credit Check in Progress' stage. Check this out:

06/08/2010 05:04 PM Credit Check in Progress

I should say that I have never had credit problems ever. I have a mortgage, credit cards with nothing owing, have no unsecured debt and a good income.

The Entry at 3.09pm on Saturday 31st July is where they sent me an email asking for my ID (I am porting over from Telstra), which I emailed back to them 19 minutes later.

I phoned them the following Tuesday and Wednesday to follow up on my order and was told every time that they are swamped, and that they will get around to it. I also emailed them on the Wednesday, but never received a reply.

The entry on Thursday 5th that says 'Order Canceled' marks when they sent me exactly the same email as they did the previous Saturday asking for my ID. This time I faxed it to them within two hours of receiving the email. Then I phoned again to find out WTF is going on, and why it says 'Order Canceled'. They assured me it's not canceled, and they will get around to it.

It's now been 9 days, and they haven't even processed my order. I worry that by the time the warehouse gets my order, I will have joined the back of the queue and have a 4 week wait.

Anyway, I'm going overseas in a week for 10 days. If there's no card in the mailbox saying to pick up my iPhone from the post office when I return, I'm canceling the order and joining the back of the line at Optus. I'll be taking my wife's plan with me too. The wait may or may not end up being longer, but I'm not going to sign a two year commitment with a company this bad.

Just phoned them then – after 30 mins on hold, a very helpful assistant passed the credit check while I was on the phone to her, and sent the order to the warehouse.

The catch is, because it's taken them over a week to sort their s*** out, there's now a 3 – 6 week wait on the phone, even though I placed my order 38 mins after it went on sale.

Rang Vodaphone on hold for 75 minutes earlier today, finally got hold of my tracking number. Ordered 5/08, credit check completed yesterday afternoon order is now at the warehouse.

About 30 minutes after i got off the horn to Vodaphone my credit check email came through. Could that have something to do with the phone call?

Interesting time differences with everyone's credit checks also, just from browsing these Vodaphone threads. Personally my girlfriend ordered hers around 8 hours after me, and he credit check went through 3 days before mine.

I called Vodafone up on Monday 2nd August and after about 2 hours on the phone i provided my details for the credit check and was informed that i would receive an email. I was given an order number but when i tried to access it on the vodafone website it just said 'Invalid Order Number and email address combination'. After 5 days and no email i called back to check if anything was wrong. After another hour and a half wait i got through and was told there was something wrong with the credit check and that a supervisor had to speak with me. They took my number and said they would call me back. i got no call that day and only received a call the next Monday and was told that the issue was fixed and that i should expect an email confirming everything within 2 hours. That was yesterday and i have yet to receive an email. Since calling them the first time i have sent 2 emails to their online help email and haven't heard anything from them either. I dont really want to call them back as i have waisted in excess of $150 worth of credit trying to call them just to see if the order has gone through. Im going to look at other service provides to see what they offer with the Iphone 4.

this time I got through to voda on the phone. they said there was a stuff up in the system, so she put through a new order for me online.

really hope there are no more dramas. I've wasted enough time on hold to vodafone.

(I should admit once you get through the CSR are helpful, its just the huuuuge wait times which are so annoying :( )

I then received an email on the 5th of August notifying me that they require extra information for the credit check. (I did provide them with 120 points worth already... in the initial application)

So I emailed them scanned copies of my cards and such and haven't heard back since. I've emailed them my details twice already.

I'm going to give up, probably walk into a store and go on a waiting list there. I've been to one Voda store and they told me to go home and apply online. Great service... No one else was in the store at that time except me...

If I jump ship to another telco, would I need to call up Voda and waste more time with them to cancel this order that is never going to get processed?

Just don't pick it up from the post office.

Their website says:

"If you’re unable to pickup your goods within 10 days, they will be return [sic] to us and we will cancel your order and refund any monies paid by you for these goods."

Although it would be ideal for Voda to process by order number, its not very efficient since credit checks would take a different amount of time for each unique order.

I ordered my 16gb in store (although they just did it online) on the 5th and still haven't got it. Makes me sad to see here people who ordered after me already got theirs :(:(

I think it could work. At the warehouse just sort the orders by time the initial order was received. I dont really see an issue with that

People have been getting their phones without the confirmation it's been sent out but for those who have it tends to show it has been sent out and then completed, so if it doesn't come by the time i'm home i'll just call them up and see if it has been sent out and get the consignment number

Hey guys,

Just signed up to Whirlpool, used it heaps in the past so thought it might be good to contribute!

I ordered with Vodafone on 31st at about 1pm. 32g. Had some problems with my credit check because they forgot to enter some details but other than that can't complain. Its part of Apples marketing strategy to withold stock. Judging by the amount of threads, its pretty effective!

They said they will notify 48hrs before they are going to send, however they did nothing. In my case, I received no notice, no consignment number. I didnt even have to sign to receive it. My boss just brought it in for me :P from delivery guy.

So I had no clue that they sent it to me on last friday, really surprise.

This isn't about online orders but may be pertinent – We ordered our fleet of iPhones over a month ago via our dealer (Emcorp)

Quite frustrating! We know our dealer is trying hard – they aren't happy either.

Quick question:

I am an existing Vodafone prepaid customer (using microSIM in iPhone 4 outright).

I would like to go on a contract (Vodafone postpaid, microSIM, iPhone 4 on contract).

Do I need to call the 1555 number, or can I purchase online and 'port' from prepaid to postpaid afterwards?

I've tried calling 1555 many times and keep getting the 'we are busy' message and call back another time. Same thing.

does this mean I should be expecting mine relatively soon? Ordered this morning and the guy I spoke to said it would be delivered in 2-4 weeks.

I'm actually moving office on 1 Sept so organised to have it shipped to the new office – was that a mistake? I've got staff at the new office who will be able to accept it for me (hopefully the courier doesn't insist on seeing me and my id?!) so won't be the end of the world if it beats me there.

This is for a 32GB. So annoyed that I ordered on the day the iPhone was launched and it still has not come. Does that mean I am way back in the queue?

Hi Wook,

Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing, myself. I guess I just have to be patient.

But, it does seem that there isn't really a queue, which is disappointing.

And then it's made worse by trying to query the progress of things by phone, (I didn't order it online, so no online ticket number), and having to deal with that stupid LARA. :-)

How does everyone go about porting? easy process when ordering the iphone?
Does your number get ported when you sign up, therefore you need to visit a store to get a new sim?

A colleague of mine ordered a 16gb and 32gb on 05/08. He received them both this morning. His status went from "Processing", straight to "Order Complete" yesterday afternoon. He also received the 'welcome to vodafone' email yesterday.

I received my 16gb phone about 6 hours after getting the 'welcome to vodafone' email. It therefore appears that once you receive that email, the phone is not far behind!

I called this morning since i havent received an email after ordering the 16gb on Tuesday. Apparently, existing customers don't receive any email updates since a credit check is not needed. I ordered over the phone too (existing customers wanting to go on plan cant order on the site).

Got my fingers crossed for delivery next Friday.

Did not get an order number.
I call them again in the afternoon saying that when I ordered this morning I was told that I will receive an email with an order number but did not get anything.

Then I ask whether they can give me the order number through the phone so that I can track online.

vodafone prepaid > contract

some says that if you already on vodafone contract and upgrading to new iphone, you won't be able to get a tracking number.

System was down when I ordered over the phone on 9th Aug. The lady took down all my details manually and said will give me an SMS back if credit check is approved and everything goes well (new contract, port in).

The next morning, I received an email from VF regarding my bill, but I still haven't received the SMS confirmation. Called VF and waited for 45mins, I was given the order number starting with ES-W519XXX. Received the iphone4 today. Couldn't be happier! =) But I haven't done the port-in yet, dont know how long more I need to wait on the phone though. Arghhh...

i think you need to ask them a question on facebook,twitter then they will refer you to email them at if you just email that directly they will tell you to ask your question via facebook/twitter eg – can you look into my account then they will respond and tell you email me the details etc.

I am surprised the credit check was quite efficient. 16GB.

I don't think it works that way.. I ordered mine today morning and status is 'Order at warehouse' within an hour after i ordered it, but I'm not expecting it to arrive in next 2 weeks.. so hold ur breath :)

Yeah but your 'Order at warehouse' is on the 23 August, so you are looking at 2 weeks behind other people that have had their 'Order at warehouse'.

LOL goodluck with that – i ordered mine on the 4th of Aug (32gb though) and have yet to receive mine and when enquired i was told it will be 2-3 weeks from today which im protesting about as if i ordered it today i would be waiting the same time so not sure how that is even right.

When did you order reach the warehouse? I ordered min on 5 Aug, but it didn't get to the Order at warehouse until 16th (stupid delays in the credit check stage).

Bummer. Wait till the end of the week and call back and ask to speak to someone higher up. Tell them that lots of people have had theirs shipped out who ordered before you. If you check my theory above it is pretty consistent – first batch of shipments (two weeks ago) were for orders that got to the warehouse between 1-6. Next shipment (Friday just passed) was for orders between 6-9.

hmmmm ill bug them on friday if i don't get anything by then i wouldnt normally but going on feedback people ordering after me have received their phone and i didn't require a credit check so there should be no reason for the hold up.

I'm not too concerned. Pretty sure it'll make it to me OK, but if it does go missing I'll just follow it up with Voda/AAE as to why my signature wasn't required. I'll email reception as soon as the order completes to let them know I'm expecting something and that I'll come down to pick it up/sign for it.

Do you mean this email:

We’re happy to inform you that your Vodafone credit check has been successful. Your Vodafone Direct Deal will be shipped to you very soon.

Subject to stock availability, delivery will be within the next day if your order was placed before midday Monday to Thursday and your delivery address is within metropolitan areas of capital cities (except Tas and NT ).

Otherwise, your Direct Deal will be delivered within approximately 2 to 4 business days depending on your location and stock availability.

That's just a generic welcome email. I'm sure everyone gets it as soon as the credit check gets approved. I don't think it takes stock availability into account.

Thats pretty much what I was told on the phone. For anything other than iPhone 4, it's pretty much right, but since they are selling products they don't actually have yet, then go by what I was told when the credit check was approved ie. 1-2 weeks
No AAE tracking number yet so basically Thursday at the earliest, maybe Friday.

OK this is strange — this is still the exact output I get from the online Vodafone iPhone tracking page, but I actually received my iPhone this morning!

It's great in my books, but it's strange in that it looks like at Vodafone the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

To those who haven't received their iPhones yet, I hope you do soon.

AAE depot,

They said on the card that pickup is available "next business day" at the AAE depot. (Makes sense, since my iphone will still be with the courier until he gets back to the depot at 5 or 6 pm).

I can't tomorrow because I got uni all day 9am to 6pm (and I cant get my brother to pick it up because they need photo ID), so I have to wait until friday when I am free.

I just emailed reception to tell them I'm expecting a delivery. She calls and said something came for me today... great. Not! They rejected it because it required ID and the recipients name had an extra name in front (my middle name). On the phone to Voda now to get the conn note, then have to call AAE. Good times.

I ordered as an existing customer by calling 1555 on the 19th and just got told that mine is on back-order with a 4-6 week wait (32GB). It seems Vodafone are prioritising new customers to existing ones and possibly Eastern State based customers to other states.

I'm getting frustrated here because I was told when I upgraded over the phone that it would take no more than 3 weeks (now apparently blown out to 4 – 6 weeks), I've been given an order number that is useless in tracking the progress of the order and I'm paying for an iPhone contract as of the day the order was put through with no device to use said plan.

How long have people in WA been waiting for their 32GB iPhone 4?

Needless to say the other half that the phone is for is getting a bit antsy seeing 32gig orders arriving today that were ordered up to 1 week ago with a quoted 2-3 week wait, while the current order for her 16gig with a 1-2 week wait hasn't arrived 2 weeks after the 2nd order (nearly 4 after first order attempt)

Please look at page 13, some people ordering on the 18th Aug has been receiving their phone today 25th Aug.

Seems like the distribution is not systematic = unpredictable !!!

Maybe we should also factor in what plan you bought to try to predict the delivery date. $79 delivering faster than $49 cap?

Just with mine ordered on the 18th Aug Sydney suddenly appears at my doorstep.

Hi All,

New to the forum but have been lurking around for a little while.

Ordered my Iphone 4 on 21.08.2010, Checked the estimated time to be delivered and it said 2 to 4 weeks for the 32GB, no worries i thought it was not to bad.

I recently emailed Vodafone to see how long it would take as it has been stuck on Order at Warehouse Processing for a couple of days now, see below;

21/08/2010 04:32 PM Order Incomplete
21/08/2010 04:46 PM Order Received

23/08/2010 02:54 PM Order at warehouse
23/08/2010 03:05 PM Order at warehouse – processing

This is the reply i got from vodafone;

"We are currently expecting your iPhone 4 delivery to take place within the next 4-6 weeks. Your delivery will most likely be made on a Friday and we will contact you via text 48 hours in advance to advise."

This is confusing how did 2 to 3 weeks end up 4 to 6 weeks?

Perhaps a Vodafone Representative can advise as i really am confused.

Thanks

@Robinho10: Good luck with that. My order goes like...

20/08/2010 05:26 PM Credit Check Approved
23/08/2010 12:40 PM Order Received
23/08/2010 12:41 PM Order at warehouse

23/08/2010 01:10 PM Order at warehouse – processing

I got my billing email confirmation on the 21st.

Looks like their inventory management isn't quite FIFO – as there are several people who ordered at the start of the month, and haven't received their phone yet.

I have my fingers crossed, but realistically the earliest would be sometime next week. AFAIK, Vodafone don't provide a warning (sms/call) to say they are coming to drop it off.

Just want to let you all know for those who are waiting for your iPhones to arrive, if you are porting your number from a different carrier to Vodafone, be prepared for the port to take a long time (ie. days) for it to kick in.

MNP has informed me that there are massive issues with their porting systems at the moment and it will take days to get through all the backlog. This is despite the customer rep that you call to organise the port in the first place promising that it will get done within 30 minutes.

I'm on my third day waiting, they haven't even looked into my port request yet, and I sincerely hope that my port will be successful by this time next week.

On a sidenote, how long do you have to return the phone if you are unsatisfied with it? 1 week? 30 days?

Just got off the phone with Vodafone Sales. After a 2 Minute Wait :D

Spoke to Gabbie who was quite nice about the whole process. she informed me there is a longer wait then 2 to 3 weeks for 32GB but did not want to say exactly how long as the website still shows 2 to 3 weeks.

I asked about the Tracking status of Order at Warehouse – Processing.

apparently this means your order has been reserved in their system and they are awaiting new supply. This does not mean that the unit is at the warehouse waiting for delivery.

So overall i still think i have another 2 weeks or so to wait, i wonder by the time i get the phone will vodafone lower the cost of their plans? and if they do that would annoy me royally as im locked into the contract with the previous price i signed up on.

I ordered mine over the phone on the 19th also. I am already on a $49 cap and unable to wait for this contract to end I am now purchasing the iphone4 on a 2 year mthly payment plan. I have called vodafone a number of times and been told that the delivery is 4 to 6 weeks and then 2 to 3 weeks and the last time i called was told 4 to 6 weeks again. My order is also listed as processing. I am becoming very impatient but from reading all the posts it seems that delivery is random

If you ordered on the 19th and was told 4-6 weeks why would you already be impatient, surely you dont expect it to arrive before October.

I ordered one on the 6th and another on the 13th and hope to see the first in around 2 weeks time, and then the second one 2 weeks later. Both 32gb.

Be patient, there are probably 100's in front of you.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Order at Warehouse – Processing Does not mean they have the unit waiting to be delivered it means your order is at the warehouse waiting to be processed.

I spoke to a Vodafone Rep who advised me they are waiting on the 32GB order and as soon as they come in you are reserved for one if your status is Order at Warehouse – Processing, this still means we could be a couple of weeks away from receiving the goods do to waiting on stock.

i'd say its better to get it from a shop. I ordered over the phone on the release date and the handset turned out to be a DOA, been waiting since then to get it replaced. they constantly knock it back a week or two. I guess the same would be if you order it online.
I could go to the apple store (and I did), the genius guys asked me to contact vodafone for a new phone as the ones they had they 'claimed' that it might be refurbished.

I've made a few phone calls seeing how they changed their ETA from 4-6 weeks down to 2-3 weeks on their website.

History:
Rang 27/08 – Phone's in the warehouse.

Rang 30/08 – No phones for probably 4 weeks.

Rang 30/08 asking for an order number – You're on backorder. No idea when.

The guy also said that new customers are fast-tracked the iPhones. I'm like "I've been a customer for 15 years!!"

They also told me my cooling off period has expired. When I said "Cooling off period is 10 days from the day of delivery buddy", they changed their message.

I ordered on the 19th as an upgrading customer, no credit check required, started paying for my upgrade effective immediately on upgrade. Yet according to Vodafone today, the timeframe went from 6 weeks to 2-3 weeks (working days and only after I pointed to my upgrade case notes and the Voda website).

My order is apparently still on back order and not @ the warehouse. There seems to be obvious preferential treatment for new customers over existing customers. I'm not happy. I'm in Perth too BTW.

What I have just been told by the Voda CCR is that there are 2 "channels", online and via phone to Customer Care. They are both processed as separate queues and the online queue seems to be getting preference.

Since upgrades can only be processed in store or calling 1555 on your mobile, existing customers are in effect put to the back of the queue behind new customers.

My 32gb just arrived. Ordered around midday on Friday 20/8, so it was only 6 business days all up. I'm in Brisbane, and it was an online order that wasn't an upgrade.

I think we have established that this page: http://www.vodafone.com.au/personal/iphone/iphone4-stock/index.htm is only meant as a very rough guidline :)

It states:
iPhone 4 16GB 1 – 2 Weeks
iPhone 4 32GB 2 – 3 Weeks

I ordered my 16GB around midday on the same day, but your 32GB has arrived 1st:

20/08/2010 12:12 PM Order Incomplete
20/08/2010 05:10 PM Order at warehouse – processing

It sounds like vodafone received a big batch of 32GBs last week and are clearing the back log, my hope is that the same thing happens for 16GBs this week.

I'm not getting too impatient yet since I only ordered my phone only 6 days ago. Fingers crossed we start seeing some 16GBs being delivered and maybe I'll have my new toy for the weekend.

Good luck all.

I ordered on Friday but never got a reference or any confirmation email. Should I call up to make sure the order was actually processed? A bit wary about calling since I waited 18 minutes on Friday afternoon before my reception dropped (airplane passing) and then 15 minutes on the second call before getting through.

I was told mine would not be here until at least 10 September this morning when I rang them, for my first order and when i got home it was there.

They don't know, and file their fingernails when you ring up and then say its all confirmed and the 4-6 weeks still applies from the date of the order.

Don't waste your time ringing them because they are not updating their system and have no idea about delivery times.

32gb upgrade ordered on the 10th arrived today! Does anyone know how long it takes to activate the new microsim? Have been waiting over 2 hours now.

I used to work for an Apple reseller and know that when Apple products are in short supply apple just list them as 'constrained' which means the reseller have NFI on availability. For all those frustrated with voda not knowing ETA just remember that voda probably have no idea hence the vague '4-6 wreks' etc. It is far better to promise a long timeframe delivered sooner than a short timeframe delivered longer.

Ordered on the 10th of August.
Called on the 1st of September – they said it will arrive within 2 weeks.

This is just terrible. I haven't had one good experience with Vodafone yet – I'm happy for those who got their iPhone's in good time but you really were just lucky, it's not Vodafone's speedy service, they're just illogical in the way they deal with their customers.

I received mine around an hour ago. I ordered online on the 20th of August. It took them about 3-4 hours to approve credit, and another couple of days (over the weekend) for it to arrive in the warehouse.

No change on the official order status screen.

Hi, Is it possible to order online using DEBIT card??

I tried to order an Iphone4 Online. and I am using DEBIT card, not Credit Card and got rejected...

has anyone else used Debit Card?...I thought Debit Card is Like Credit Card, except that They deduct the money from your account right away...
I am not talking about the ATM card..

The bank fees from processing debit transactions via MasterCard and Visa adds significant costs (or so the sellers claim) so they don't accept it.Try using debit at Dan Murphy's...no dice.

I called them a few days ago and they said that it is on file for my upgrade, I also received paperwork showing my upgrade to the iphone 4..

It's alright though, the one way (unfortunately) you can get anything from voda is by lodging a complaint.. I got my upgrade via a complaint, and was more than happy to lodge one last night about everyone else copping a phone within 6 days.. the moment you threaten to have your contract cancelled they kinda make things happen.. technically they should be able to kill my new contract as I have no phone which is a service they are to provide for me to actually use the contract.

Just been to their store in Bondi Junction and was told they wont have any for another 2-3 weeks, might it be best to just go & buy from apple if they have them ? or is being on a plan the best way to go ?

I ordered mine last Thursday and it arrived this morning (32gb). I don't quite understand what Vodafone is doing as people that order early to middle of August seem to be last in the queue. I'm very happy I received it so quickly, but would rather see a proper queue system implemented.

1300 300 410 – and you get that "Lara" chick – I just said "complaint", and when someone spoke to me, asked to speak to supervisor...chap took the order number, and details, and passed me through...

Supervisor was COMPLETELY stupid, and clearly hadn't even looked at the history, because she started asking me to take the SIM out of the phone, so she could activate it...errr, WTF, what phone and which SIM?

Tried to pull her up to explain, but she just kept talking – pointed her to the tracking history, to which her EXACT words were "err, oh, I have no clue what is going on"...then started talking away again, and wouldn't let me get a word in...

So I spoke somewhat more forcefully and tried to get her to understand that her company had done NOTHING in 38 days in regards to this order, despite us doing everything we'd been asked to do...

(This was initially caused by the stupid bimbo at the Vodafone store who neglected to photocopy and fax off ID – and even though we'd called about a dozen times, and faxed AND emailed the ID to them several times)...

They still claimed this morning that they'd not received the ID, even though we have an email from Vodafone stating they'd received it.

After several more frustrating moments of this woman trying to talk over/under me, I told her to not worry, and that I'd be calling the TIO.

Problem supposedly resolved in about 38 minutes...*facepalm*

I ordered my iphone on Thursday last week and I was wondering how people are tracking their order progress. I ordered it as an upgrade to an existing contract and I did it over the phone.

I didn't get a confirmation email but when I called again they told me that I won't be able to get the order tracking until I get a consignment number from the courier.

Is this correct? is there some way to track it?

Smelling a rat – (lets be honest, I wasn't super confident with the process anyway) – I've been watching the tracking, and despite being told this morning that the credit check was "approved" another "Credit check in progress" has appeared...

Just spent nearly another hour on the phone, and finally got someone who (at least seemed) to possess a clue, and she confirmed that the order was still stuffed.

Yes, it had been approved, but the order was reinserted into their provisioning system and failed again. Exact words of the girl was "whoever did this has no idea what they were doing"...

Girl has promised to escalate the call, and hopefully get it sorted by COB today. She's also given us a month's credit on the account – (we'll see when the bill arrives) – so at least someone at Vodafone seems to give a damn about it...

Was starting to wonder...

I didn't receive any email saying that my credit check had been approved, could be because I had been ringing regularly them saying what is going on with this stupid process.

I have received an email tonight saying that my order is completed and my order should be arriving soon. However I received one for the $79 cap with one mobile number and then a second saying to ingore the first with a different mobile number and saying I was on the $79 unlimited. Definitely not what I want. Also no mention of NRMA discount. Did anyone get that in writing on that last email? When I have spoken to them they said it was in the system.

I will be ringing them tomorrow AGAIN to work out just what I have allegedly signed up for.

I ordered my iphone 4 black 32 gig on the $79 cap on the 30th July! Was immediately put on backorder as they had sold out. This was done in a shop that is voda, virgin, optus locally. It is now 5 weeks and I am still waiting! No one at voda has any idea and my sales girl is just as stupid! I upgraded from prepaid to postpaid and was moved quick smart from pre to post so they could charge me of course. I managed to get the first month waived but they can keep their plan because after 5 weeks of waiting, I am fed up! I have lodged a complaint with the TIO. I wait each day with baited breath, but honestly feel I am never going to see my iphone despite the fact that my upgrade contract states a black 32gig iphone 4. Totally over the wait, and voda. Staff are friendly enough when I ring, but how can they not know anything when obviously an application to change from pre to post was carried out with a credit check. I bet the dumb ass sales girl forgot to put in my order and voda THINK I already have the phone. If this is the case, I am going to bring down the shop I ordered from. The complaint has been lodged with the TIO and I better get my phone THIS week or I will be going further because this is just ridiculous. It is false advertising and why on earth did apple release it if it did not have enough stock to supply the demand.

They should give you at least 2 – 3 months free service for your troubles man. This is ridiculous.

Some people here have received their 32gb is less then a week! Thing with Vodafone is, they put new customers infront of us who are upgrading so they get theirs faster. It's a load of shit if you ask me.

it is illegal and unethical practice...online says 1- 2 weeks for 16 gb, but in reality..2-3 or even more weeks. Situation is even worse for upgrading customer, as they cant even check the order status…”big black hole”

Thats good for me, the person on the phone told me realistically its a 2-3 week wait for the 16gb.

Atleast its better than the response I received from Optus when asked when I can order an iphone 4.

Quote from optus rep " I have no idea, it could be one or two months". And this was on the Thursday before I ordered through Voda.

But I think good if they deliver the promise, when i was placing the order it was 1-2 weeks.. once signed ...they added 1 more weeks.
proof: online still says 1-2 weeks, if they are fair..they should update the delivery time on the website

Their website advises that deliveries are generally on a Friday – this would also support the fact that numerous people have posted in this same thread advising they have received their iPhones on different days.

I'm also waiting, since August 30. No sign of either the 32Gb or 16Gb. Will give Voda a call later today, and try and get some more information.

Hi guys

Is there any way to cancel the order that i made via online??

---------------------

I have cancelled my previous order of iPhone 4 by calling 1555, since they have a 14 day return policy. I cancelled it due to Voda updated their plans in late August, and it is way better than the one I signup before.

Immediately after the cancellation was successfully, I reorder iPhone 4 16GB on $59 plan with NRMA discount over the phone as an upgrade :) Still waiting for my phone to arrive.

Hi All,

I ordered a 32GB iPhone 4 on a new contract yesterday evening (at 06/09/2010 08:07 pm).

This is my current status:

06/09/2010 08:07 PM Order Incomplete

This was a lot faster that many people here. I will keep updating this forum as this order progresses. I hope this will provide some estimations on current wait times.

Thanks everyone for their help and useful information.

Not true. My work colleague order his on the 31st and it arrived this morning. Mine also only took a week (both 32gb models). As I said earlier in this thread, there seems to be no concept of a queue as some people are still waiting on their 32gbs ordered long before ours.

it is illegal and unethical practice...online says 1- 2 weeks for 16 gb, but in reality..2-3 or even more weeks. Situation is even worse for upgrading customer, as they cant even check the order status…”big black hole”

I upgraded, was told 4-6 weeks. Got it in 2.5. Was also able to check my order by ringing up no problems. When I did ring, was told that a new shipment had arrived at the warehouse that morning. Phone was delivered to me the next day at 11am.

Only real hassle I had was explaining to the doofus on the phone that I wanted to activate my SIM card.

I just called them. The voda guy told me that there will have a stock back late this week and will take 3 days for preparing the deliveries. He also said I am at the very front queue and I must receive my 16gigs when have stock and should be next week.
Then I asked will it be next Monday or Tue?
He said ..."Sorry to give you the wrong message, I am not sure when will back stock but maybe late this week." @_@|||

The ONLY thing can be confirmed from Voda after 15 mins waiting is they don't have stock now. (Sydney here)

Virtually the same as my order, which was placed a couple of hours earlier, /forum-replies.cfm?t=1499937&p=25#r482, however no delivery for me.

I spoke with Voda, and they had no further information except to say 2-4 weeks from date order goes to warehouse.

Just have to keep waiting, but perhaps this week.

Finally got a call from their TIO rep today (Wednesday), after lodging a TIO case on Monday.

The girl I spoke to on Monday confirmed:

(A) the order was approved
(B) the phone was in the order queue
© we'd get a month's credit on the account

The girl I spoke to today from the TIO area confirmed:

(A) she'd escalated the order
(B) confirmed that it should arrive within two weeks
© gave me her mobile number to call her directly if it doesn't

From shithouse to no bad in a few days, simply by shaking them by their TIO-connected goolies...

Incidentally, for everyone waiting, she said there are currently "over 2000" iPhone 4s on backorder through Vodafone still awaiting fulfillment...

My sister received her iphone today. 16gb. 2 weeks and 1 day.

She rang yesterday and they told her she was on backorder for another 2 – 3 weeks but it arrived today. Very strange.

This is Gold Coast.

Rang up last Tuesday to see what the hold up was. Was told to ring back the next day, would not give me any information. Rang up customer service again today, twice, both times I was disconnected. Finally rang up the local store to see if they could shed some light and they told me the credit check had been withdrawn because someone put in the wrong information and that it had since been cancelled. Had I not rang up I wouldn't have even know this as I'd had no email, mail or verbal communication.

Vodafone definitely down on my list as a bunch of incompetent ^%!@!.

WTF, its an hour and a half drive from my place. When I ordered it I specifically told the guy to have it delivered to my workplace and he even asked my workplace address twice to confirm! Now I was told that it will be returned to Vodafone in 7 days if I don't pick it up and then they will try to deliver it to my workplace but will take another 4 weeks! Whatever$@#^%

This was a lot faster that many people here. I will keep updating this forum as this order progresses. I hope this will provide some estimations on current wait times.

Thanks everyone for their help and useful information.

Raj

As stated Earlier, here is the update : The phone was delivered today. It took just 5 days.

I think one of the reason I got it so early is because I am switching to the second most expensive plan, and vodafone seems to be in a hurry to start the money flowing.

Thanks you all and hope this helps,

Raj

Ordered mine on the 20/08.

Got a card on Wednesday saying they missed me. No calls, nothing whatsoever to let me know they were coming. OK fair enough, so I go today to the depot to pick it up and all I get is just the SIM card? WTF? What am I supposed to do with a SIM card and no phone, what's the point of sending it out first when I can't use the micro sim.

Had to take half a day off work to go pick it up cause *I* have to go personally and their hrs are mon-fri 9-5. If it's not here by Fri, stuff it, going to Telstra.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but figured this question didn't deserve a new one.

Do Vodafone contract iPhone 4's come unlocked? I called Vodafone today and they said my phone is already unlocked, but I am a bit uneasy about believing them. I'm travelling overseas and would hate to find its not when I put another SIM in.

To the best of my knowledge, no. There is a dedicated thread on unlocking your Vodafone iPhone (which is free of charge). Note, that your IMEI number may not be available on their unlock website, and you will need to request it.

I just received my iphone 4 after 6 working days!

Order date : 2 September 8AM (couldnt sleep craving for iphone)
Received date : 13 September (everyday night and day i checked this thread, life is so uneasy)
Model : 32GB
Location : Perth, 6101
Upgraded customer (I think this matters because upgraded customers skip the credit check)

I paid early exit fee $287 for my blackberry (sick of using it, bb is so dull). I took pictures of how the box came and the first thing you will see in new iphone 4.

I understand how tortured you were when you expect the iphone to come on friday and its not there. Just hang on, and lower your expectation. You can get through this.

No. What I'm saying is ether just wait or ring them with the order number. Or you can find the reps on here and whim them.

No. Unless it's Australian post they will take it back to there warehouse and leave a card in your mailbox to inform you. You can then ring them and sort out a time when someone is home.

Personally I don't believe them – I also ordered a 16Gb and 32Gb and Voda can't tell me anything – they just don't know – each time I have spoken to them, it is a different story.

I've actually started looking about the possibility of remaining with Optus rather than switching – at least Optus appear to be better at providing more accurate information based on my conversations with them.

Got mine 16giger, ordered 19/08, accepted 24/08.

To activate dont call 1555, takes forever and drops out or fails. They told me by email to call 1300 101 606 (8am to 8pm weekdays) and talked to a human in 4 seconds.

Btw, billing cycles start from accepted order date, not delivery date, so that means your first bill includes 'wasted days' spent in delivery.

ordered mine on 24/8/10 and was initially delivered 07/09/10 to my home address and nobody was there and was returned to AEX depot. Spoke to them to deliver to my work address and was told it would take another 4 weeks.

It was a new order, not upgrade due I'm still on contract with 3.
