Hi all
I was hoping for some advice
I was planning to line up with several friends for a midnight opening at a Christchurch Spark store in order to acquire a 128Gb iPhone 6 on a 24 month plan (probably the $99 a month plan). I was investigating what store would be open as I hadn't been able to find any information and then I read about Sparks "emoji queue".
Now 100/100 places are taken at the Christchurch spark store.
Is anyone able to confirm a couple of things for me:
1. If I line up and don't have an "emoji" does this mean the soonest place I can have in line is 100? i.e. even if I am first in line at whatever time, as the night progresses and everyone with an emoji turns up I would be back to 100?
2. Does Vodafone have any stores opening at midnight in Christchurch?
I am very disappointed that Spark has gone down this path. I didn't preorder as cant be available for a courier so this was going to be my best option. But I refuse to waste my time lining up if I am person 100 as I have my doubts that I would get the model I am after.
Instead if there is a Vodafone store open I will likely sign up on a Vodafone plan instead, despite having been a telecom customer for the length of time I have owned a cellphone!
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer :)
