Does anyone know how long T-Mobile take to send out a micro sim as i phoned up on Sunday and still don't have it?

I would ring them up again and chase it or just pop in a T Mobile shop

Yeah when I used to work for them you could just go in to a shop to collect one although you needed to call CS to marry it up to your account.

Yes i plan to do that in an hour after the post comes, last time the call took 45mins though before it was answered and it is India, failing that i will go into a shop at the weekend.

I think T-Mobile outsource to Manila not India but with their merger they could be using any country in the world...

Call them between 8 and 9am for the best chance to get through to the UK (if he/she has a Welsh accent even better - the Merthyr callcentre is regularly voted the best for customer satisfaction).

With such a rapid take-up of micro-sim phones (4s, S3) the process of connecting it to your account should be a lot easier than when I was there - it used to take around 6 hours.

I will phone tomorrow morning then if i don't get it in the post today.

I hope they put my mobile number on it.

Took 3 days for me the first time, and 1 day the second time (they sent the wrong type the first time).

I picked 1 up from from a T-mobile shop today.

Paper Artist

Customizable Nofitication Panel
Plus lots of others

Just got home from work, and i seem to have joined a download queue for a requested update on the phone, busy i guess.

I have a Virgin S3 and have updated to 4.1.2 via Kies however it did take some time. The process appears to stall once the files are downloaded and if you look at task manager it reports that Kies is not responding. Just leave it alone and eventually it will finish the upgrade. BTW I tried an OTA upgrade but got the same message as SnoopZ

Stephen · 20-12-2012, 17:22

I think mine only worked OTA as I did it this morning at 7.30am.

I tried to upgrade via Kies, it had downloaded it and the screen on the phone said upgrading, then the Kies software said it couldn't connect to the phone and told me to take the battery out and restart the device.

Nervously i did this even though the message on the phone told me not to! Luckily the phone is still working and not bricked, so i think i will wait for the OTA update rather than risking bricking it.

did mine via Kies today.
