Hmmm well I might go to a store tomorrow and see what O2 are willing to offer me as when I upgraded last year to the 4s they gave me a 12 month contract which wasn't available online. The online tariffs for Vodafone, Orange and O2 are as expected are almost indentically priced and spec'd, so it just comes down to connectivity etc.

The other alternative is to get one through the Apple store with the 10 months interest free and maybe look at the sim only deals, which in the short term will cost me an extra £20 odd a month for the first 10 months till the phones paid off, though i'll be selling my 4S and in long term it should be cheaper with the benefit of not being tied to a two year contract.

If i go that way then 3's Ultimate Internet 200 deal at £12.90 seems to fit the bill with unlimited data and 5000 texts but I've no idea what they're like these days. Plus side is that I have a mate who works for them, so can speak to him about it, though normally I try to avoid at all cost his typical salesman bulls**t chat

How do I get a faulty phone swapped without going to an apple shop?

and will I be without a phone if I have to send it away or whatnot?

If you purchased it from a network with a replacement handset option just call them. If you got it from Apple with Applecare then you've got to go to a store.

Mine sometimes doesn't react at all when the on/off button is used to either just lock the phone let alone to turn it on or off.. Did they replace yours ?

Booked in with apple Saturday ill let you know .....

Being the massive apple fan that I am I'm not that balled up on the warranty/repair of the iBannana 5 but I'm certain it's gonna be a return to base type scenario.

Request a callback on the website (saves on call costs ;))

Tell them the fault, humour them with the tests they want to do, tell them you want the instant UPS swap, where the UPS guy brings the new phone and takes the old one away there and then. They will try and charge you £29 but offer it for free if you take out applecare, ask for supervisor, complain about the cost/it's a premium phone/you're a loyal customer/reel off your list of apple products and they will do the service for free without applecare.

The only catch is they will secure the cost of the phone (£500-£700) from your CC pending the old phone coming back undamaged by you.

And what if the phone isn't exactly in mint condition?

Black iPhone 5 with chips all over it doesn't scream premium lol

Yeah, because your people skillz are renowned for being excellent especially when they say "no" to your request... I'd pay to witness that conversation.

You got any insurance on it?

Lol don't know what your talking about! I'm a reasonable human being!

I do have insurance on it but it doesn't not work enough for me to want to pay the excess

Apple store replaced my iphone 5 today due to the faulty sleep/wake button.

Handy really because the screen was scratched to bits. And I hadn't looked after it. This new one will be going in a case.

Mine's getting launched against a wall before long. As soon as it loses signal it won't get it back unless I toggle airplane mode or turn phone off/on. Meaning I don't get any messages/calls unless I constantly check my phone and keep toggling airplane. It's driving me mad. I so regret changing from my 4S, it was a far superior phone to this flimsy sh*t.

Mine is now doing this too..gay!
 
I've just noticed my do not disturb was on. I wondered why I didn't hear it when I received texts this morning. Didn't notice the little moon icon in the top.
