Virgin Mobile iPhone X Wait Time

Hi guys, I put an order in for an iphone X through Virgin Mobile on release day. There was some hold up with the credit check (not a credit issue, something to do with my name not matching), so several days later they submitted a new order, and cancelled the first order. Now I'm stuck waiting, with no ETA. I've contacted Virgin twice, and the only feedback I've received is 'up to 8 weeks', which when I rung them up when there was an issue with the credit check, they assured me was false and it would be much sooner. Anyone know of actual wait times? Can I cancel my contract or am I locked in now, even without the handset/sim?

    I think your wait time will be decades to lose your Virginity if your pickup line is: I have a Mobile iPhone X.

      Good one bro.

  • Seems every teleco is giving long wait times

    from what i have seen among friends etc

    Telstra: NO ETA, Around 4 weeks maybe… Shipped in 1 week
    Optus: 4-5 Weeks, shipped about 1 week top 10 days after order
    Vodafone: Was told 28/12 Shipped on 17/11
    (all orders placed on pre order weekend)

    Apples wait time has gone from 6 weeks on launch day to 3 Weeks (now) so i would expect the wait times given by teleco's to be a "worst case" scenario with the phone coming sooner rather than later.

    • Optus: Backorder Now. Delivers from 5th December 2017
      I managed to secure one from Officeworks last Sunday, received on Wednesday.

  • I agree with jimbo, I ordered one around 2 days after launch and was given a 5 week ETA, but had it in about 2 weeks, so I wouldn't stress about 8 weeks actually meaning 8 weeks this far along after launch.

  • Ordered from Optus the morning after launch day, received it last week on wednesday. Happy wife, happy life.

  • Ordered 2x at 6:30 on launch from Virgin. Received last Thursday (took 3days with StarTrack). They drop shipped by Optus (after all they own virgin).
