Bladox Temporary Reopen

[bluewings777]

For everyone like me looking for original turbo sim, some hours ago, bladox reopen temporaly its web shop. :-)

[Sunsura]

Really nice, just ordered mine.

To bad that DHL is so expensive, had to use normal mail which will be a pain to wait for it.

Cya

[phoenixftx]

Thx for the info,

just ordered mine, also took normal mail 80€ thats quite heavy, and so i'll wait a bit longer...

[TahitianFreak]

jesus, shipping charges are simply extreme. worse than Ebay .....

15 bucks for a SIM card......business is business.

[stonefred]

I think normal mail from czech republic to germany will not need 2 weeks, but accidently I've choosen the Fedex option for delivery...

[AXi0N`]

Hmm, now is temporarily closed ?! Don't get it...
When did you order it?

Thanks :)

[stonefred]

I've been using this (http://www.aignes.com/") software to monitor the shop, so I've been able to order at 16:30 CET - perhaps good to know for next time ;)

Currently it IS open again :D

[phoenixftx]

ordered right before i made the first post in this thread...

did you get a mail already or just ordered and a mail from the pay service 2co ????

[ntemples]

Just ordered one as well, worked out at £53.00, price little bugger although cheaper than the one i got from ebay for £90 a couple of days ago, might just resell mine again to get some money back.. ;o)

[AXi0N`]

Yes, it's cheaper as on eBay :)

[reddy]

Thanks bluewings.. ordered one.. my guess, normal shipping shoudnt take more than 2 days to Munich.. So guessing, it ll be there by next weekend !!..

[Sunsura]

They are out of stock again. In about 6 hours. Amazing :eek:

[jakez]

omg ^^ ordered one too at about 17:30 *cheer*

[thomasstroobants]

Does anyone know how long Bladox whas closed the previous time?
Get me an idea when I can buy one again :-D
I was too late!
*no cheer for me*:(

[hansanrg]

It is now confirmed that stealthsim is working and with less "hacking" than turbosim so why you even bother your brain with turbosim?:)

[Zf_]

Stealthsim has not yet been proven to work with non US phones AFAIK

Moreover, for almost the same price, it's nicer to use the original one from a company that never tried to inflate prices following demand unlike all the newcomers :)

[-TiLT-]

Well, could not find dealers in the EU-zone, so for my location, TurboSim is still the cheapest way.

[hansanrg]

I ordered 7 pcs. to Estonia, Europe. 106,4USD including shipment so it was approximately same price. 8)

[-TiLT-]

Yeah, but I would have to pay additional 19% import sales tax in Germany.

[ChrisGÖ]

Hi,

how lond does the shipping takes?

[phoenixftx]

again my question to all who ordered Friday paying paypal and taking normal shipping...

Did you get anything else except a mail from the 2co paying company?

[powder8]

Hy,

I paid by VISA but nothing.. only one Mail to confirm, nothing from bladox.

Cheers

[tuhame]

No nothing more. Hopely it comes fast.. Cant wait. =)

[stonefred]

hopefully they come before the software hack :D

[phoenixftx]

hope so too...

Come from Germany too, and they ship from tschechia so it should go quick also via normal shipping, or what do you think...

[stonefred]

challenge: normal shipping against DHL...

I've took the 80 Euro option and a family pack - want to keep two of them and get the complete money for the rest through ebay :D

[phoenixftx]

i heared of normal shipping to germany within 2 days afer confirmation so dont think that you safe a lot of time ....
In my eyes just a waste of money, but perhaps you'll get it back through ebay, saw Turbo sims on ebay for 180€

[pl_svn]

Did you get anything else except a mail from the 2co paying company?

... an SMS from VISA, saturday evening, confirming I have been charged 74€. Sounds good to me! ;)

[anthongy817]

again my question to all who ordered Friday paying paypal and taking normal shipping...

Did you get anything else except a mail from the 2co paying company?

I purchased on Friday via paypal with normal shipping as well. I received a order confirmation from 2CO and a payment confirmation from paypal.

They probably do not work on weekends, I sent them an e-mail on Friday to request my shipping address change but still have not received a confirmation from then that they received the request.

[oasis]

do you all order through Bladox website itself or through another site?

[tuhame]

Through their website.. I would really like to know how many orders they got in that six hours?.. The guy who owns bladox is maybe buying new Porche at the moment.

[Lycanthrope]

I don't understand why they don't ramp-up their production a little more, then he could buy a Porsche for his wife too...

[powder8]

Well,

because of the Dev-Team?

If there is a software-unlock he has 1000... of cards in stock, but nobody would need these ?! :)

Gretts

[anthongy817]

Well,

because of the Dev-Team?

If there is a software-unlock he has 1000... of cards in stock, but nobody would need these ?! :)

Gretts

Yup. They specifically stated that in the past, many peopled placed their orders for the chip, but when the software unlock came out, many people canceled their orders. This is their way of avoiding that.

[phoenixftx]

thats also the reason why i just orderer one instead of 5... 1 for me and 4 to resell them on ebay... cause when teh software hack comes nobody wants them

[Lycanthrope]

Woot, I got a shipping email from Bladox :)

What country are you in? And what is the est. delivery date?

[Lycanthrope]

Belgium - will be delivered here by Taxipost I suppose, they usually do the local DHL drops.

It has left the Prague main depot in Czech, probably will get here on Wednesday.

Bladox

Thank you,

Hy,

did you order express for 80 Euro?

Greets

[anthongy817]

Hy,

did you order express for 80 Euro?

Greets

Yes he did.

You are only given two shipping choices: DHL for 80 euro or parcel/postal for 15 euro.

[Lycanthrope]

Indeed I took the 80EUR option although as I don't even have an iPhone yet I perhaps could have gone for the cheaper and waited a bit. But then again as it's a family pack and I'll only be using one for myself I can spread the cost on the others.

[Lycanthrope]

It's moving quickly now - will get stuck in Belgium though once it hits the wall of administrative incompetence.

[dohdoh]

I ordered 2 turbosims last time the shop opened and chosed standard shipping and payment by creditcard.

I know that bladox will ship it later than the express shipment, but I only get an email of "2co" a few seconds after order saying that they received my order. Bladox won't send me an email that they received my order? I read something about that "2co" will check my CC details first. They won't inform me if everything is ok?

[matlock]

has anyone who ordered on Friday with standard airmail post option (15e) received an email from bladox about their parcel being posted yet?

[powder8]

Hy,

noting yet and the "postman" has been to the Office today.

I ordered 16:30, just in the minute they reopened. I hope they ship by ordertime :)

But I can only speak for german orders.

[Lycanthrope]

OK, delivered - that's pretty damn quick!

Shame I don't have an iPhone yet :confused:

[bluewings777]

I bought turbosim on last friday with airmail shipment. None email from bladox or 2co, only instant email after buyed. I check my order status on www.2co.com and it write as no shipped yet. Still waiting and hoping ... :-)

[phoenixftx]

i ordered on friday also normal shipping....

Yesterday i wrote them a mail when they will ship and they said should be shipped tomorrow... so i ll have it in germany on thuesday :D

[powder8]

nerver "am Donnerstag"..... innerhalb GR dauert das mit der Post ja schon 2-3Tage

[phoenixftx]

GR?

i am just 80km away from the tschech boarder

[powder8]

GR?

i am just 80km away from the tschech boarder

Sorry R is next to E. GER. missed one letter.

Greets

[stonefred]

got mine yesterday. it's working. Ordered at Friday, held in my Hand on Tuesday. Very good, but 80 Euro is a little bit expensive for shipping from czek republic to germany.

[matlock]

80euro is a joke, I could get a return flight to Prague including transport to bladox and collect it myself for less than that.

Hopefully they get their act together and start shipping last weeks orders - after all, they say on their site they don't take preorders - so they do have them in stock!

[powder8]

They do not offer a pick up service.

Fell free to order your Card from another Reseller (if there is one) or order any other card. Thats business. Play the game or not.

Greets

[matlock]

I know they don't offer pick up - I just think that 80e express is insane for the size of the parcel - anyway doesn't matter..

Just got an email off them saying that my order has shipped!!! Guess I don't need to worry about not getting it before xmas now!

Excellent :D

[powder8]

What time did you order?

I think my has been one of the first orders, about 16,35 h.

I got no mail and the postman has been here today. No card :(

Greets

[matlock]

think I ordered around the same time

I guess you'll hear from them soon enough - I would have expected them to ship the first orders first.

They will send you an email once it has been shipped - I guess you'll have to wait 2-3days after that for it to arrive. Maybe even a little bit more - mail around Christmas time can sometimes be a bit slow.

I will let yous know when the postman delivers mine

[powder8]

Hope for a daily update :)

Thanks

[pl_svn]

Exactly *3 business days*, as promised, after placing my order I got this:

---------
Hello Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx,

paolo

[dohdoh]

Received the shipment email today too! :)
Standard shipment to germany, ordered at friday @ 17:00

[powder8]

Did you all pay by Creditcard or by PayPal ?

I paid by Creditcard... :(

Greets

[matlock]

Did you all pay by Creditcard or by PayPal ?

I paid by Creditcard... :(

Greets

I tried to use PayPal but it wasn't working for me so I just paid by credit card.

[dohdoh]

By creditcard

[powder8]

Me too, but no Mail that the SIM is shipped :(

Hoping for the best... Thanks for the answers..

Greets

[powder8]

Did yous Cards in Germny arrived as "Einwurfeinschreiben" or as "Einschreiben"

My deliveradress is my Office and nobody is there on saturday.

Greets

[anthongy817]

Ordered on 12/7 and paid through paypal. Just received confirmation from Bladox that my item has been shipped out through parcel.

[phoenixftx]

id also like to know what kind of "Einschreiben" it is in Germany???

[powder8]

"wir bekommen die Karte heute eh nicht, aber ich warte jede sekunde auf den Postboten" 1 Tag von CZ nach GER, wer's glaubt...

---

We will not get the card today, waiting every second for the postman

[stonefred]

so it was good idea to take the 80 Euro option and order a family pack instead of only two pcs for me and a friend of mine. Paid per Creditcard on friday, got mine on tuesday by DHL express. I've sold yesterday the rest of the three on ebay for 120 Euro/unit. They have been sold within 1 hour... they would also pay more on ebay. Unbelievable

So the cost for me have been 12 Euro per card. Thank you bladox :D

[_Gabe_]

Yeah, ebay's a mad place sometimes, and this week it seems to be turbosims.

lol some of these prices are scary!

[powder8]

UPDATE:

Today no SimCards from Bladox in GER.

Greets

[jakez]

Hopefully, they'll arrive tomorrow :(

[powder8]

Don't think so. Saturday might be possible for GER.

Greets

[phoenixftx]

Hope it will arrive today so that when i come back from work its already waitung for me ;)

[phoenixftx]

Has anyone recieved his on Friday ordered card via normal shipping....

[jakez]

No.. its so frustrating to look at the paperweight .. Its 700km from Czechia to Cologne... why it takes more then two days -,.-

[dohdoh]

No, unfortunately it hasn't been in my mailbox :(

[phoenixftx]

Morning guys anything new in your mailbox?

Nothing until now in mine.... But dont know when exactly postman comes on saturday...

[powder8]

Hy,

my Card is beeing send to the Office. So if one of your cards arrive, please let me know if the letter comes as "Einwurfeinschreiben" oder "Einschreiben". If it's the frist the postman will only put it in the postbox.

Greets

[phoenixftx]

Nothing new in my postbox think the dont arrive today...

But i'd also like to know what kind of "Einschreiben" it is.... Because will then be interesting for monday when i'm not at home in the morning when the postman comes...
So perhaps anyone who ordered earlier with normal shipping can tell us something about the kind of Einschreiben for Germany

[phoenixftx]

Dont know how they ship to Germany but how can that take so long ????

[powder8]

Depends on the date they have shipped. Maybe the only send the mail that the items were shipped so that nobody sends them EMails.

Think so...

Greets

[phoenixftx]

may be...

ok we ordered normal shipping but 5 days is quite long... (or when did you get the information that yours is shipped.. mine was wednesday)

[phoenixftx]

i wrote them a mail....
lets see what they ll say...

[stonefred]

ZF_ says on Bladox forum that he is on vacation for 2 weeks...

[phoenixftx]

yes i read that but he has guys donig the work for him...

[jakez]

...
Hopefully on Monday

[phoenixftx]

Hope so too,,,

[Zf_]

ZF_ says on Bladox forum that he is on vacation for 2 weeks...

it's pz, Zf_ is here and happy not to be sending packets like crazy just a week before Christmas :D

[stonefred]

it's pz, Zf_ is here and happy not to be sending packets like crazy just a week before Christmas :D
Ok :) Thought you we're PZ because it has been you who released the iphone binarys of turbo apps and started the thread against turbosim clones ;)

[phoenixftx]

Morning guys any news today?

[bibooo]

Hi all ,

[phoenixftx]

[powder8]

Morning guys any news today?

nope, but the postman hasn't been there today. Abou 2 pm.

Greets

[dohdoh]

A few minutes ago the postman gave it to me! :) :) :) :)
It was delivered as "Einschreiben"!! I had to sign a paper!

[powder8]

Hy,

was it the postman or DHL?

[dohdoh]

I'm not sure. But the label at the envelope says: "Deutsche Post - Einschreiben"

[tuhame]

Nothing here.. No shipment. Sad. Hopely tomorrow.

[stonefred]

...then you will have a yellow note in your mailbox to come to the post office next day and pick up your envelope...

[phoenixftx]

update: i got mine today!!!! yipeeeee :D :D :D

But now can not connect my ipohne via winscp damn!!! :mad: any ideas?

[dohdoh]

TSIM is working fine here! I followed the guide and now I'm "FREE".
Thanks Bladox!

[todro]

update: i got mine today!!!! yipeeeee :D

But now can not connect my ipohne via winscp damn!!! :mad: any ideas?

Are you using SFTP for connecting ? ;)

[phoenixftx]

i'm using winscp under vista connection type is sftp yes....

[stonefred]

need to enable SSH on iPhone. Username "root" and password "alpine"

[phoenixftx]

i have solved it, it was a setting on my wlan router, that blocked inter-client-communication...

Now i have a 1.1.2 OTB up and running with o2-de

[jakez]

Mine arrived too this morning. Happy with 1.1.2 OTB and SIMYO :D

[powder8]

Mine arrived today as well. Had many problems with my Vodafone Card, because of the contacts on the sim. (TS does not fit exactly to the Vodafone card) my O2 Card worked instantly.

Sold my other Card on Ebay for the price of 2 from Bladox inkl. shipping. So I got my Card for free :)

[-TiLT-]

Has anyone from the UK who ordered a couple of weeks ago and chose Airmail got theirs yet? I've noticed that Germany and Italy seem to have theirs but wondered how much longer it would take to get to the UK. I've sent it to my work so really only have 2 days left for it to be delivered !!!

Thanks,

Ben.
