My iPhone progress

Hi folks,

I thought i would write this diary on the progress I’m making on my quest to get a free iphone.

I started working on getting an iphone for myself back in November 2007, I know this seems a long time but you will learn that freebie hunting needs patience. After what seemed like an age finally on Saturday the 8th of march i had all the referrals that i needed (12 ) to get my 8gb iphone, So off i went to complete my own offer so that i can claim my iphone.

When i logged on to the site on the Sunday to complete my offer i noticed that they had added the 16gb iphone to the site for only 2 more referrals (14), So i have now decided to wait a little bit longer and go for the 16gb version.

As it stands at the moment i have 13 referrals with 1 more referral pending plus I’m still waiting for my own offer to credit, This can take  up to 5 working days but if it still hasn’t credited after 5 days  this can be easily rectified by submitting a support ticket to the freebie network.

I’m going to sign off just now but as Arnold Schwarzenegger would say “I’ll be back”

iPhone update 16/3/08

It has now been 7 days since i completed my own offer (skillground) and i have still not received my credit, So i have sent a support ticket with all the relevant info and screenshots.

If giveaway stay true to form then i should have a reply on Wednesday :)

iPhone update 18/3/08

Just checked my status on my iPhone and my own offer has been manually credited :)

All i have to do is wait on my last referral to go green, This is a trade I’m doing so it should green soon, Then i can get my account verified.

iPhone update 22/3/08

I have just completed my last trade and hit the verify button, So fingers crossed all my referrals go through ok on Sunday.

iPhone update 23/3/08

Well i just checked my iPhone.giveaway account and one of my referrals has been put on hold :( so its back to looking for my last referral. As this is the last verifications this month it means that i will miss out on my free iPhone this month but i will get it next month if i get my last referral.

As always i will keep you up to date with my progress :)

Ps I could have just changed my gift to the 8gb iphone and got that instead but i will be patient and wait another month and get the 16gb iPhone, And who knows maybe by then they will have released the 3g version of the iPhone by then :)

iPhone update 24/3/08

The good news is that i now have all 14 referrals again :) the bad news is that i have to wait till the 13/4/08 till the next verification :( so all being well i’ll have my brand spanking new 16gb iPhone by the beginning of May.

 iPhone update 03/4/08

iPhone update 2/5/08

Well folks today was the day i got my shiney new 16gb iPhone from iPhone.giveaway.
