Don`t know what to do, my network has sent me 2 iPhone 5`s by mistake!
one is running with my new nano sized sim card and current phone number,
then 4 hours later another one turns up by DHL!! so its sat sealed in its box
do i tell them? keep my gob shut? and wait 2 months and then use it with another sim card?
can i be traced lol???
or ring network up and say "you made a mistake" - come and collect your £699 handset??!! lol
-
Keep it, don't say anything. Wait about a month or so :y
-
yeah, but wont they know when i stick a sim card in it? or flog it and someone else sticks a simcard in it?
wont it activate on their screen or someat ::)
-

It depends if they "think" its stolen and block its IMEI number, if its been sent in error, its a c0ck up on their side, they might not even notice.
I'd stick an advert on gumtree, flog it, asking for cash. Of course don't use or usual e-mail or give out personal details :)
-
Mmmmmm yeah, but then the person that buys it will have to get a contract sim card on the same network as me if i flog it?
and then wont it flash up on their screen with the IMEI number that is registered to me? even though my 1st iPhone 5 is all setup?
then i`ll get a bill for £699 lol
i don't know how the networks work lol

No, easily ways around that.
Like I say, it depends if they think its stolen and blocked.
Wait a month or so, get a PAYG SIM, stick that in there, see if it works :)
-
my network doesnt do pay as you go nano sims for iphone 5, i have already checked lol

Why are you obsessed with "your network" ???
Any nano sim will do, http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/pay-as-you-go/iphone-5-nano-sim-payg/voice-reward/extras/ (http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/pay-as-you-go/iphone-5-nano-sim-payg/voice-reward/extras/)
-
LOL! im not obsessed, just rather not say what network it is
the phone will have to be unlocked to accept another networks sim card yes?
-
giffgaff payg is very good value,unlimited data and txts,calls depends on what goodie bay you choose,cheapest option with 250 mins calls is £10 and the sims come standard size and then you pop out the micro sim from that :y
-
iPHONE 5 is a nano sim ::)
-
Perhaps they sent you two so that you can sell one to pay for the adaptors for docking stations that they failed to put in. ;)

Its Vodafone, you stated that last week ::)
Unlocking is easy
-
iPHONE 5 is a nano sim ::)
Do you actually think its different to another SIM?

ha ha ha ha!!!!!! quality mate!!
i already ordered one from APPLE >:(
cost me £29.30!! ROBBING BASTEWARDS!!!
-
I just read that Tunnie! great minds think alike, i guess i can just order a nano sim from T MOBILE
or cut one down i suppose, but the 2nd iPhone 5 will have to be unlocked because it wont work with any other network :y
-
You will need to activate it with your SIM, then unlock it and stick another cheapo SIM in there.
Then wait a month, see if they block it.
-
oh no! i was told by a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend who works for a mobile network
as soon as you activate it, bang theyve got ya!
so, maybe unlock it and then stick a cheapo sim in it?

Is that not what I said above? ???
-
yes you did, but you said ACTIVATE it lol
-
Why so much effort to be dishonest ???
Simply be upfront and honest and return it.
Of course .. if you accept that you will never ever make a mistake in your life, and if, somehow, you did, you would not expect the person benefiting from that mistake to be honest .. go ahead..
but this is a lot like whinging about the guy who damages your car being an ******* for not saying anything ... yet you do something almost exactly the same ...
hypocrisy .... ???? :(
-
yes you did, but you said ACTIVATE it lol
You have to activate it before you can unlock it.
-
if it makes you feel better il take it off your hands for free ;D ;D ;D

Apart from a crap company (Vodafone) loosing a few quid on phone, no one is at loss here. Cannot see a comparison to someone hitting a car and driving off ???
Had it a few times where I was sent duplicate products by accident, not had it on a phone. But had it on other hardware, you get very little for free in life. Flog it, boxed if you want, for cash.

For a month or 2 more only ;)
-
Have you checked youve not accidently ordered, and been billed for 2 yet?
-
Unofficial iPhone unlocks are crap. If its locked to Voda, only they can properly unlock it.
-

Think you can request it direct from them, although at a cost.
-
guess i`d best send it back then, because if i activate it, which i have to! there gonna know! and i cant unlock it WITHOUT activating it
and no i didnt order the phone twice, i have checked on my online log in
-
No harm in activating it. once unlocked and jail broken its fine.
-
Are these types of item "signed for". As they dont exactly fit thru the letter box.
Even the post office have gps but wont admit to it even when your items get stolen by fraudulant means.
-

From Voda? Yeah, if you can prove you have a contract. And they need the IMEI to do it ;).
Apple won't unlock, obviously.
-
No harm in activating it. once unlocked and jail broken its fine.
Why the JB? JB and unlock are 2 different things. And I *VERY* much doubt the current radio is unlockable unofficially.
-
It's theft if you don't let them know. You could get away with it but you wouldn't feel right, right?
Call Vodafone and tell them to collect it at your convenience, not their's, perhaps they do let you keep it.
-
i was told that as soon as you activate it, then obviously it has to be with Vodafone lol
it can be traced to me! lol

Nothing to stop you using a different iTunes account ;)
-
Actually, you can now activate without iTunes IIRC?
-
Not got my hands on one yet, but did see about activating over internet. I'm having trouble finding a budget to bill an iPhone 5 to ::)

Think iOS 5 introduced OTA activation...
-
right, keep it or give it back? lol!!!
-
Can't you cut a regular sum down to fit? I done this to make a micro sim. don't know if you can do a nano this way might be worth checking utube that's were I found how to make a micro sim.

Nano is thinner, so to the letter of spec, no.
However, the gayPhone does accept a thicker, cut down SIM
-
sell it ill buy it 30p enough
-
Personally there's only one option... Come clean but make it clear that they have to collect at your convenience and you want a receipt for the collection ;)
-

Yep. :y They may well decide they can't be @rsed to arrange to collect it.
BUT Get a receipt from whoever collected it. Mrs. KW's kindle got collected and replaced recently due to a fault, and surprise surprise, Amazon never got the old one back. Guess the courier just slapped it on Egay. Luckily we could prove it was collected.
-
damn! i had better make the call then, if there's NO WAY of me keeping it and using it at all for a family member on the same network!
knew they'd get me in the end lol, you cant use it without activating it, obviously!
-
I can safely say send it back you'll only get caught and done for fraud :y
also I've never seen a thread on here get so many replies in such a short time :o
is it cause the members on here think that something's going free and want to be your friend ;D

i`ll sell it ya! lol! £699 Retail
£500 cash to whoever! ha ha

Methinks that if you order one item and two turn up, the duplicate does not automatically become your property. By selling it, you would certainly be committing a crime, if not in law, then certainly in spirit. I would phone them up and ask them to collect one.
There again, I'm honest. :P
-
Agree with nickbat on this.
You have signed a contract / payed for ONE PHONE.
If you sell the other one you will be in the shite believe me.
Stick it in a cupboard for a few months and see what happens but remember you have signed TWICE so its not something you can lie about ;)
It won't take them long to work out were it went :(
-
Flog it. Agree with Tunnie here, you get very little for free in life.
-
i have spoke to my friend of a friend of a friend of a friend and he said KEEP IT and just wait for 2 - 3 months!
your right Del Boy! you get sod all in this life, i never have and YES i can live with myself
-

Just remember that you have openly admitted (on here) that you know it was sent in error and hope you get away with it ;)
I see it as theft, pure and simple, but we all have our own views ::)
I also see it as being no different to someone accidentally dinging the car and then driving off

Send the spare phone back and sleep soundly.
It's not rightfully yours. You know it isn't. :(

agreed mate ;D

The fact that you felt the need to ask what to do speaks volumes about our current society. Nothing more to be said.
LD and nickbat; :y

Wayne,
I am posting this simply as a forum member giving my views in response to your original question. It is not to be "holier than thou" but is intended in good faith to encourage you to do the right thing.
You ordered 1 item. 2 items have turned up. You are in full knowledge that you are only entitled to keep one of these items, and, even if you don't know exactly what the legal position is, the very fact you have posted come on here and ask about whether you could "get away with it" or "be traced" clearly shows that you don't think it would be right or honest to keep the second iPhone.
Without going into any boring details, UK law says in summary that someone is guilty of stealing if he/she dishonestly comes by property (the iphone) belonging to someone else (vodafone) and intends to permanently deprive the owner of it (keeping it for a family member).
So the bottom line is, if you keep the phone, it's Theft.
You have gone as far as make a series of posts on a public forum, asking for advice on if you could get away with nicking the phone, and if so, how to get away with it.
Firstly, you never know who is reading your posts. As a few examples, There are some police officers on this forum, some serving, some retired, who may feel it appropraite to pass the information on. There are also some solicitors, magistrates, and various people who work within the Criminal Justice System who actively use this site, who may well take an interest in what you are writing.
It only takes for one of those to take an interest and pass the information on. Once some digging is then done by the appropriate agency, you'll be amazed what could be found out from just your forum posts.
For example, you clearly give your name as Wayne Harris from Stanford in the Vale, Oxfordshire, in your Signature. I can't imaging there being many Wayne Harris's in this village. A look in the phone book might even give the required information. You provide a website link in your signature, which any person on the internet can see has been registered via 123-reg. Although you may have whois optout, a legal body could make an application or get some form of obligation for the ISP to release your identity. Your unique IP is logged every time you post on this forum, I would imagine some kind of application could be made to the founders of OOF in order to compel them to relase any such information held.
Your profile also displays an email address of bongioviwayne@aol.com, which is another route that could be used to identify you.
I know very little about data protection, so none of the above is set it stone, but it just highlights the fact that you have openly, to anyone, provided few very strong indications of who you are. Everything I have just typed is publicly on your profile, and anyone with a tiny bit of common sense could work it out.
And as also mentioned - with new technology, tracking, activation etc, there is another aspect that may catch you out.
I seem to recall you're around my age - mid/late 20's? Can you afford a criminal record?
To put this whole thing into perspective, think about the consequences if you get caught, and done for it. Ok, you may not have any / many previous offences on your record, and may only get a fine if you get convicted - but think of the wider consequences. If you get convicted of a dishonesty related offence, you could lose your current job if you have one - and you will without doubt struggle to ever get another decent one.
I repeat, this is NOT intended to be on a soap box, or holier than thou, it is intended to HELP the OP, by giving him some encouragement to do the right thing and give him some reasonable information on how he will probably never get away with nicking the 2nd iPhone.
Wayne. call the provider and tell them you've got it, and they're welcome to collect it. You're totally in the clear then. If they tell you to keep it, your honesty has paid dividends and you'll be able to sleep at night, rather than having that niggling thought in the back of your mind..
I hope you do the right thing :y

thanks James

Very well said.... :y Do not under estimate the power of the Internet, and the trail of evidence a persons activity leaves. :) I am currently involved in my first 'cyber crime' the Police leading, my understanding is limited, I am amazed at the evidence that can be traced on a home computer........ :-X :-X

Looks like you scared him off James :-X if I was Wayne I would have been :o
Although I do agree with James :y

Not asking you to.
Still came across as holier than thou though. ::) ::) ::) ::)
and I'd have already phoned to tell them they'd sent two phones :y :y :y

Maybe so. But I explained from the outset, and again at the end of my post, it wasn't intended that way, in order to avoid any misunderstandings. People interpret the written word in different ways. Not sure I could do anything more :y

Odd that the OP felt the need to delete his account. I can only speculate that he had already decided to keep the phone and perhaps opened it/used it? Then jamesv6's eloquently put post scared the bejeesus out of him. Unfortunately his name/email/address/network provider are all on this post for all to see.

My intention was not to scare Wayne off, simply to encourage him as to why it wouldn't be wise to try and defraud his provider :y

Absolutely correct James. I can even see what he looks like from his tribute band page.

There is nothing they need to delete. Wayne has been given sound advice and if he decides to ignore it then that's his call. Going on his past record for taking advice I think I know what will happen :-X ::)

Agreed. :y I'm sure Wayne would be grateful if this thread were to 'dissappear'. He obviously deleted his account to cover his ID on his signature but now has a carbon copy of it in reply #59. ::) Wouldn't a reference to those details, rather than repeating them for all to see, have been a more appropriate move. :-\
......and yes, I would have sent it back. :y
-
I agree Wayne should have made it clear at an early stage that a mistake had been made,I would have also made it clear that they would have to make positive arrangements for the phone to be collected at the earliest opportunity i.e by a certain date and there after storage charges would apply.Then the ball would be firmly in the suppliers court and if they choose not to recover their property ASAP then that's up to them. ::)

But it's irrelevant really because I'd be willing to bet my 1p that Google will already have cached his details somewhere ;) Anyway, why should this thread disappear? It then means that we are aiding and abetting ;)

his biggest mistake was posting publicly what had happened. ::)

No, his biggest mistake was that he needed to ask what he should do ;) I'm all for getting something for nothing but that situation, where something is tracked, will always come back and bite you so there's no point in anything other than honesty ;) He may well have been surprised by the response ;)

Said the same thing to him ;)
Its only a matter of time before he gets the phone call / knock on the door.
If he has not got the phone, they will have his gonads.

I would have contacted vodafone and asked where my phone was and mentioned that my lodger had done a bunk.

I hope I never upset James... ;)

I wonder if Vodafone would be so honest. How many people have had been billed twice & for what ever have not noticed the fact.
We've all seen Watchdog & we know how companies operate.
I know what I would do if they sent me two ;) But I have no conscience when it comes to this :)
-
Vodafone attempted to rip me off a few years ago, offered me an upgrade after complaining about some poor serice, girl in the complaints dep't sent me her own phone under the guise of a refurbed model whilst getting a brand new one herself on me , I spotted the ruse when she stupidly left her music on it!!
She was a bit perturbed when I phoned and said I didn't like the model and she had to work out how to send me a brand new top line samsung, I got it and the 'refurb' phone was never asked for. Waited 3 months and got £130 for it on Mazooma ;)
I personally would not have asked for advice like the OP on this forum.

Maybe so, but I would still prefer if people didn't publish it in public text :y

Whats the difference?

The fact that I'm not openly publishing it on my profile, and is not made public by me? :P
Anyhow, I don't have time for arguments, I'm off to the pub :D :y

Ha! What a great thread!! ;D I ignored it for ages as it looked a bit dull, but curiosity got the cat!! :)
Very entertaining and some true colours shown!! ::) and for the record, I'd have um'ed and aah'ed, weighed up the pros and cons, struggled with my conscience for a bit, but eventually the little angel on the right shoulder would have slapped down the little devil on the left and I'd have made the call... :)
Don't think I'd have felt the need to consult you lot though!!! ::)

It was removed by a member of the Admin Team (nobody else can), following a complaint.

Maria, chill ;) :y
I saw the post you refer to and, TBH, it read as you slinging some mud at James ;) You don't need to do that, certainly not on a public forum ;)
None of us are angels and I'm sure you'll have done things in the past that you shouldn't have ;)
James' post was a factual post, although it did read as a bit of a lecture :-X ::)

I think a group of posts got pulled, possibly because it was easier than manually modifying several posts to remove parts of posts in dispute.

You might not have meant it how it read ;) That's the trouble with not being able to see the person posting.
I can't deny that you know James better than I do (obviously), but it did read as an opportunity to have a pop at him ;)
