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

[tunnie]

Keep it, don't say anything. Wait about a month or so 

[Wayne]

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 

[Wayne]

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

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/

[Wayne]

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 

[Wayne]

iPHONE 5 is a nano sim 

[YZ250]

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

[tunnie]

iPHONE 5 is a nano sim 

Do you actually think its different to another SIM?
