I have currently been waiting about 30 hours for mine to connect and was wondering what other people have had to wait

From Twitter:

TelecomNZ
At the moment provisioning is expected to take 24hours after purchase, if you aren't up and running by then, please call us on 123

26 hours. The 123 operator told me this is because my order keeps getting cancelled by Dealer Support, and the store keeps re-placing it.

Hi
I have posted on the other forum post thats running, but I'll just repeat here. If you over the 24hour period or your current handset has stopped working, PM me your details and I will get you some help.

Cheers
Karen

if thats a true that must be a record because normally it takes at least 24 hours for vfone to do their side of things.

Sitting on 26 hours now still waiting but the CDMA is working.

Interestingly the store wouldn't release the phone to me yesterday until it was connected but in discussions today have release the phone, my wife is now happily playing the games on her new phone since she can't use it.

We are thinking of staying up all night with the sleeping bag and having an 'almost XT party' with the phone on display, wonder if telecom would give us a free phone for that???
