Carrier AT&T 2018 iPhone Pre-Order Thread

[Justinlake321]

Hey, does anyone know how i'm able to change the installment plan option from 30 to 24? I accidentally picked the wrong one when quickly ordering, and now I need to change it.

Good Lord this has gotten out of hand . Everyone cool thier jets and get back on topic please.

 

[SuperZay'N]

can you not read???????????? he said 3-4 days early so hes was correct as my girl got hers on monday and he gots his on wednesday. if you want to start picking words than you said only people that were luck got them early, almost everyone on that page posted they were getting it on wednesday so i guess everyone was lucky then. stop starting ****

Struck a nerve. Calm down bud. Have a blessed day. I hope you enjoy your new phone this week

 

[jamezr]

Yea, I actually found that link when I sent you a PM. I noticed you and I chatted back in 2016 when we were waiting for our iPhone 7 devices lol and I tried it but when I go there it just redirects me to the regular AT&T Order page which just shows the "In Progress" status but no shipping dates or anything like that! Argh!!!!

Same here. I always tell myself I will maintain sanity during this week...never happens!

I did the same thing by accident. I had to call AT&T. They told me to cancel the order and redo it. I'd cancel it now.

Thank you! I’m assuming that’s what happened then. Everything you read about AT&T Next it’s like “TAXES DUE AT TIME OF SALE NO EXCEPTIONS”. But obviously that’s not the case. My brother has worked @ AT&T for many years but hasn’t been a phone rep for years either so doesn’t know every last bit of updated info but said he has seen it added to the next bill previously.
[doublepost=1537132421][/doublepost]

Okay, now I’m feeling much better after getting 2 confirmations from other members here plus my brother who works for AT&T.

Here’s to hoping we all have our phones in hand on Friday 9/21! I’ll keep everyone updated when and if my status changes to anything other than “In Progress”.. once I see the “Preparing to Ship” I’m going to feel much better.

I posted that a few days ago. I still haven’t gotten any charge on my card or hold. I’m assuming it won’t hit útil the day it ships. I think that’s what happened when I ordered my 7 a couple of years back. I’m glad I’m not alone.

Just posted a thread on reddit about this. call a wrong department in AT&T, or talk to a store rep who doesn't knowwhat they're doing, they'll say it's not possible. Talk to reddit and a right AT&T rep (talk to billing) they'll tell you it's completely possible. Don't cancel, and call after you ACTIVATE.

I'm still stuck in In Progress, no second email for one of my two orders. Anyone else? Tempted to cancel and reorder since the site still says Delivered 9/21 for most models but...

I ordered this one from Speck: http://www.speckproducts.com/apple/...NKED_color=Digital Floral/Cerise Red#start=13

Also ordered a Zagg for screen protector.

Thanks for the info. I'll remember that next time.

I saw one reply, but did anyone else order and have $0.00 due at check out? (Meaning the taxes were NOT charged at the time of the order). Checking my order status all seems well, it's still "In Progress" -- I've checked the account multiple times and nothing came up saying anything about "attention needed" or anything.

A few things of note, the account I'm on is an EMO (Employee) account (my brother's). I asked him but he's not even sure how that works but said he has heard of it going onto the next bill in some cases. I had one person reply saying that happened to them but then it charged their payment method on file like 5 hours later. We do have a payment option on file but it did NOT charge that and it's a few days later now. Did anyone else get NO tax due at the time of their order? Was I rushing through so quickly that I didn't notice their was maybe an option to pay now or have it billed?

I didn't pay for anything either. I didn't see an option to put the taxes on the bill or to pay them beforehand. The email also stated that there was nothing due. I was waiting for it to be charged, but nothing.

Okay, interesting. Let me know if your status changes from "In Progress" to "Preparing to Ship" or anything like that please!

Both. I work for FedEx and deliver a lot of iPhones but at my house it always comes via UPS for whatever reason. I think Apple just splits it up between the two. I just get stuff like this delivered to my work place nowadays.

Another FedEx guy here as well. It is correct that AT&T uses both FedEx and UPS. I don’t know how AT&T decides which company gets which iPhones to deliver. What is funny is that the AT&T wharehouse is actually operated by a subsidiary of FedEx. The phones will start leaving the wharehouse in the next day or so and will be held by FedEx until the day before scheduled delivery.

Well...love to know what your shipping status is.

I wouldn't worry too much. I have four orders and three are still In Progress, only one has changed to Preparing. I'm sure it's because it's the weekend still, I suspect we'll see more movement during the week.

 

[turkeylunchable]

I am getting paranoid now that people are getting preparing to ship while I am still in progress. Even though I probably shouldn't be

In progress

Thanks, pst23. I wonder if we might see shipping information (specifically, tracking numbers) here before we get the email. I know it doesn't really matter, but even after all the new iPhone releases many of us have gone through, it's still fun to obsess over the delivery.

 

[Skoal]

Check out these speck cases they are the best as far as protection and being slim. I have been using them for years. They also fit very tight on the phone.

I’m a diehard Lifeproof fan myself but those do look nice. I need something that’ll keep everything including moon dust out.

 

[Skoal]

That's because Samsung doesn't put a Street day lock on the devices meaning the shipping carriers can deliver it whenever they feel like it . Apple on the other hand has a contract with carriers where they can't deliver the phone until release date or they will pay a hefty fine.

Yup. This is a fact. Some had early deliveries for the iPhone 4 a day early (including me to my surprise) but that was a special year with all kinds of craziness over the phones release. It hasn’t happened since.
