Problems upgrading to iPhone 3G today

Following on from the news today about being able to upgrade to iPhone 3G if you’re an existing iPhone owner, we have tried and also hit problems in doing so.

First you will need your mobile phone number and account number, you then will enter your number in a box and click “text me my upgrade code”.

Once you have this upgrade code your then meant to fill out a form with the new plan you want and your address, payment details and other information. That all sounds simple, but we have tried twice now and the first time got redirected back to the homepage and on the second had a bad browser request.

After putting in our mobile number and waiting for an upgrade code, it did not come but we did get a page to choose a price plan and fill in all details.

After filling in all our details (not sure where the upgrade code comes in here, there was no box), we then got redirected to the start page again and the second time the browser could not even complete the connection.

This could obviously be down to thousands of people hitting the site at the same time but there is one question we got to make a decision on. Do we try again later when it is quieter or have we already submitting our details twice, in which case, what happens.

Have you had any problems getting upgraded today if you’re an existing iPhone owner?
