Still havent got my phone. The told me last week they got the phone but dont have stock of the nano sim. I go on holiday on Friday, if I dont get it by then I am cancelling the contract.

take a micro and cut it,my buddy did that with an imported i5 and its working fine until now.Dont worry about the thickness stories he did not file his down at all.

I need the contract sim, so cant use a prepaid sim and I cant get the phone without the sim either.

You're over complicating this lol I went into Cell C and took out an iphone 5 last month with a normal micro sim,i just told them I'm giving the phone as a gift so i don't want a nano sim.They gave me what I wanted no hassle.

Then you take that contract micro sim and cut it to size,don't stress its very hard to mess it up but in any event if you somehow do manage to then an additional sim at Cell C costed me just R29 for a micro sim. (I took one micro and one normal on the same contract to use data on my tablet also but the one has to be off for the other to work)

Yesterday

I ordered mid December, so hopefully I'll get it before then. Has anyone else that ordered around then received theirs yet?

Edit: Called Cell C direct, they have stock of the phone, no sim cards:(

Maybe a phone has been allocated to me already but the sim is holding up the delivery? Who knows

Ordered mine on 17 Dec, and still waiting. New contract iPhone 5 32GB R699/month deal.

I'm quite prepared to make my own plan as far a SIM card is concerned. Come on Cell C, send me the phone please...

I second that, I just want my phone and the sim of course. Patience is not my thing.

Did anyone call the call centre today and see what the status is?

Looks like they only get a few handsets with the bulk of it going to mtn and Vodacom
