Should my old phone have dropped off the network? The email on Friday gave the impression that my iPhone will be "activated" when I first turn it on. However, I don't yet have the new phone but my old one is now reporting "emergency calls only" - it dropped out while I was in the middle of talking to someone. I've asked someone else with a Telecom phone and theirs is still working.

Give 123 a call from a landline and ask them. They should be able to check and see where the package is.

I have no idea when I am going to get mine. I preordered from Telecom and charged it to my existing account. I asked for it to be sent to my billing address (in Auckland) then on Saturday I get an email of order confirmation with my address listed as palmerston north.

I have never lived there so I have no clue how that happened.
I replyed and called them to correct it but have not heard anything since.

I still have an iPhone 4 so not worried but hope they didn't actually sent it to Palmy.

You should not rely on email replies. What if the notification comes from an unattended mailbox. Call the customer services.

Yeah that's exactly what I thought but when I called them that's what they told me to do.

What brand and model is your old phone, maybe telecom have deactivated your old SIM to activate the new micro SIM that you will require with your iPhone 4S. Give them a call

My old phone's a Google Nexus One, and after looking at another forum and Twitter it does look like Telecom has gone and disabled a whole bunch of SIMs prematurely. One person says he's been without service for 65 hours!

Does anyone know if any of the Auckland Telecom stores still have stock as of today? I'm thinking of getting one on the $40 contract.

The city one is out, but might get some more tomorrow.

Best to ring the store before heading in to check they have stock.

I called Telecom and apparently my old SIM is still showing as connected despite not actually working. And even more fun: The courier tracking number is rejected by the CourierPost site. Great...

Update: I've emailed Telecom (instead of calling) and asked for the number, to avoid any transcription errors. Hopefully I'll get a working number this time.
