New details about the invite system - ONE General

Hi all,
there are some news about the invite system over at the oneplus forum:
Update 3 (May 9, 2014): There are a few commonly asked questions regarding the invite system that I can help clear up:
How do I get an invite?
The main method of getting invites will be through others. In the beginning, when not a lot of other people have the device, you'll be able to get invites through contest and raffles. We have planned ways so our early fans, as well as people who weren't here from the beginning will be able to obtain invites.
When do the next batch of invites roll out?
The first real batch of invites roll out late May, and will be of the 64GB Sandstone Black version. Any invites that you might have been promised before this, will be sent during this time.
How long are invites valid for?
For invites that you receive, they are typically valid for 24 hours. If they expire, they get returned to sender so someone else can get a chance to buy it. Alternatively, you can ask for the sender to resend it to you. For invites that you can give away, they are usually valid for longer, usually 1-2 weeks.
How many invites can I give away?
This varies. In the beginning, the quantities will be smaller, but increased as time goes by. You will frequently receive new invites to give away as production ramps up.
When do I receive invites to give away?
You do not automatically receive invites when you purchase a phone. We will need to manually roll them out according to our operations situation.​

Skyfire Invitations

Skyfire is doing invitations on a first-come first-serve basis depending on the time you signed up. It sounds like some people are on this new wave of invites, so I am curious to see how fast they are moving and how long it might take those of us still on the waiting list to get their invites.
So, if you have received an invite recently, would you post the date you signed up and the date you received the invite?

I signed up on Feb 20 and on May 23 i got my email/sms to download it...
same here, signed up in febuary got the sms around the same time

Google + invites

Hi Guys,
I am working with briandevlin(http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3144157) and shedrule over at the X10 forums, to try and get more people from XDA into Google +. If you need an invite, please PM me or briandevlin and we will invite you asap
(In your pm, please include your Name and Gmail address, otherwise the invite will not go through)
Thanks!
Edit: Just to be clear, there is no official invite method for now, I am trying it through a loophole. Some of the people I invited got it, and when they clicked the link it told them it had exceeded capacity, but it did not work for most people.
Nevertheless, I can still try if you want me to, just dont be disappointed if it doesn't work.
I'm sure they will open it up soon enough.
For those of you who are already in, I'm @ gplus.to/rahul . Add me!
Further Update:
It looks like it is opening up to more people now. Head over to the Google Plus webpage and if you're lucky you will be able to sign up (not sure if this requires invite yet)
Update 2: Looks like it is open to the public for now. (Not for long)

Hey Google+ folks!
As I bet you've noticed, we are facing pretty incredible demand for Google+ invites.
As Engineering Director of Google+, I wanted to take a moment to explain why we're growing the system slowly. First, we want to make sure our infrastructure scales so the service remains fast and reliable. Second, we want to ensure that bugs are fixed while there are still a relatively few people in the field trial.
Things are going well with the systems right now so we feel comfortable enough to open up invites for a brief period. Our goal is to double the user base in the field trial. (Sorry, we're not giving details about how many folks are in the field trial yet).
So, in a few minutes, we'll open up invites again.
We continue to throttle invites, so please don't mass invite folks as it won't work. If you invite a handful of your most important friends and family you're much more likely to get these folks into our system.
Thanks again for providing so much wonderful feedback!"
What's the sense. There is Facebook and Twitter.
Ok looks like more people are slowly getting invites. For those who've pm-ed me, be patient, I've invited all of you, it will come in time
Edit: Refer to first post

Sorry but there are far too many threads on this subject.

WHO WILL BE THE LUCKY ONE... I have an invite to give away !!!

HELLO TO ALL THAT ARE LOOKING TO HAVE AN INVITE AND HAVE BEEN SO PATIENTLY WAITING!!!
RULES:
I will create a drawing…
I cannot determine who has been waiting the longest SO I will wait for the first 50 replies OR all replies between now and 19h00 EDT. (whichever comes first)
I will then run a random number equivalent to the number of replies and then offer THE ONEPLUS INVITE to the corresponding entry. :fingers-crossed:
Send me a good reason why I should choose you
Write at least one complete sentence
(Be creative) ...NOTE: WHAT YOU WRITE WILL HAVE NO IMPACT AS TO THE CHOICE OF THE WINNER!!! but... makes for good reading.
This is a 24 hour invite and I received it at 8h45 EDT August 26, 2014
The drawing will take place at 19h00 EDT
Please do not reply to this invite if you are not able to proceed with the purchase of this phone.
If I do not hear back from the winner within 45 minutes I will make another drawing at 20h00 EDT
I will post the winner between 19h00 and 19h30 EDT or once the winner has been confirmed
FYI:
I already have mine and am really enjoying it. The cost of the phone was $350 USD + $26.00 USD (expedited shipping) :good:
For me who lives in Canada, the cost was:
$410.00 CAD via Paypal (no choice) , plus the duties of $65.00 CAD that I had to pay at the door COD. :crying: (I wish they would offer USPS as a shipping option)
Wahoo!! Im pretty sure this thread will shut down shortly...
I would like to participate, as I am waiting for mine to ship and I don't want my wife to be jealous that she doesn't have one also
Nobody cares, go spam the oneplus forum, xda is not the place for such games.

As I have not heard back from the first winner I have done a redraw and you would be the winner. I need to hear back by 21h00 EDT. I will send you the invite as soon as I hear from you.
Come on now. There's a roll up thread to post OPO invites. Why open a thread just so it can get closed?

[Announcement] Week 49: Get ready, India. We are coming
VikasAdministratorStaff Member
Hello everyone,
It always feels great to bring smiles to our ardent followers. We appreciate the positive feedback received on our previous week’s announcement. This week we have even bigger and better news to share - something that everyone has been waiting patiently to hear.
Firstly, we are thrilled to confirm that the One will be available for our Indian users in December. We can’t wait to bring your favourite phone to your hands. As all the details have now been perfected and last-mile hurdles have been cleared, the exact launch date will soon be announced in the coming days on our forums.
As announced earlier, the product will be exclusively available through our e-commerce partner for users who have a valid India-specific invite. This is to ensure that all of our fans across India can easily buy the product online or through a mobile app without having to worry about payments, logistics or support.
The other key element that everyone has been waiting for is price. While we obviously can’t share the price at the moment, I can confidently suggest that it is priced at a very competitive price point.
Secondly, we have recently launched a contest to win India specific invites in celebration of our first anniversary. We are totally impressed with the enthusiasm and creative talent of our Indian fans. To our passionate fans, thanks once again and a sincere request to share your entries on your favorite platforms as well to spread the love. Today is the last day of our very first*India specific contest and you can still submit your entry here*by 10.30 PM today if you have not participated yet.
In case, you were not able to participate or did not win the coveted invite this time, don’t worry this is just the beginning and we have many more surprises up our sleeves in coming days. But for now, we’d like to thank all the participants and congratulate lucky winners who will get an opportunity to own the mighty One very soon.
How soon? Well, sooner than most people expect. We pride ourselves in positively surprisingly our fans and this time will be no exception.
Lastly, we have few other smaller yet important good news to share. The Indian team is set to expand as we have narrowed down our search to handful of individuals and will hopefully have them on-board very soon. In addition, we will be moving to our first local office next month. Recently, we also crossed*5,000 likes on our Facebook page*in less than a month. Do join us on Facebook in case you have not already done so.
We are excited to work together with you as we move forward. Keep watching this space for more updates as we will be back very soon. As always, your feedback and suggestions are welcome.
Never Settle.

Dear friends,
As our first birthday grows closer every day, we’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about the people who made this all possible. Our fans in India have been extremely passionate and supportive over the past 11 months, and we want to take this time to say thank you.
To show our appreciation to our friends in India, this contest will award 100 winners with the first India-specific invites for the OnePlus One. Enter to win by creating a “Never Settle statement.” Your statement can be anything that begins with #NeverSettle, such as “#NeverSettle for less than the best.” or “#NeverSettle for boring.” Post a picture of yourself holding your statement to enter the contest.
Please submit your entry to this thread. Winners will be chosen randomly in 48 hours and a confirmation email will be sent 24 hours after closing. All 100 winners will receive an India-specific invite for the One.
Rules:
Read our Terms & Conditions below.
Take a photo of yourself displaying your #NeverSettle message (i.e. “#NeverSettle for less than 100%”).Reply to this thread with your #NeverSettle photo (only one entry per person).

OnePlus X Indian Invite Sharing Thread

*Only Indian specific invites to be shared*
Please post your invite requests into this thread. This will keep the OnePlus X forums from filling up with millions of invite requests that will just end up getting ignored. It will also help people with invites to find the people who need them.
Don't just post a story of Why you need it, just write 'I want one' and let others do the thing, once you get your hands on the invitation kindly do not waste it, invites are rare as we all know it.
Also to people who will share the invitations please prefer the Recognised Developers/Contributors of XDA first, since it will speed up the development of this device .
Once you get your invite, please edit your request to "got one" or something similar to make it easier on everyone & don't forget to share your extra invites too!
*Any selling of invites on XDA is strictly prohibited and will result in the post(s) being deleted and an infraction towards your account*
I need one invite !!! And first one to reply.
Wow!
So I received a mail from OnePlus few hours back and I thought it was just confirmation that you have been added to the invite waiting list bla bla ....

There are 2 types of invites one is the invite which you get from OnePlus directly (after registering or winning contests held by them), and those are linked to your EMail id, after an invite email is sent to you, you will have to click on the link which takes you to one plus page where you have to press the "claim" button ... After you press "Claim" button the invite gets activated and then you can put the invite number in amazon site to purchase (if you don;t claim, the invite doesn't get activated and it shows invalid code) .
Also after claiming one invite , you are may get a shareable invite later, in which user has to give email of person who wants the invite, then invite gets sent to that person via one plus and it's again locked to that person's email .
So basically the Shareable invites can be transferred ... and for that email address is required (you have to create an account on OnePlus with same email address to claim it later) .
It's a bit complex system to explain properly :silly:
