Have yet to see a thread started for AT&T USA, so I decided to start one since I'll be pre-ordering this year over the phone since I have a business account set up. And the pre-order goes live in just a few hours.

I am a AT&T Corporate employee so I'll like to share some deals if you are not already aware of them.

Starting September 9, 2022, the Apple iPhone 14 series will be added as eligible devices to the offer! The iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, and 14 Pro Max are all included!
  • Next Up early upgrade eligible customers can qualify for monthly bill credits when turning in their Next Up device.
    • Get up to $500 in bill credits with the purchase of the iPhone 14 Pro or 14 Pro Max
    • Get up to $350 in bill credits with the purchase of the iPhone 14 or 14 Plus

What does this mean exactly? If you are currently on our NextUp program and are thinking of trading your phone in and upgrading. You can get up to $500 in credits for just using your early upgrade. Remember all NextUp trade-ins have to be in good working condition to qualify.

Starting September 9, 2022, the Apple iPhone 14 series will be added as eligible devices to the offer! The iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, and 14 Pro Max are all included!
  • Customers can qualify for monthly bill credits with a qualifying trade-in.
    • Trade-in value of $230+ gets up to $1000 in bill credits¹
    • Trade-in value of $130-$229 gets up to $800 in bill credits
    • Trade-in value of $35-$129 gets up to $350 in bill credits
¹ Credits applied over the term of the installment agreement and cannot exceed the cost of the device.

What does this mean exactly? If you want to upgrade or add a line and you have a qualifying rate plan you can get up to $1000 in credits of course this depending on phone your purchase and phone you trade in. Only Pro devices qualify for the $1000 bill credits. You can use our trade in website, www.tradein.att.com to view your Trade In Value to determine which credit you qualify for.

F.A.Q

Where do I pre-order the phone?

www.att.com
Call +1 (800) 331-0500 or 611 from your AT&T device
Go inside a Retail Location

When will AT&T allow me to pre-order?
7 AM CST

Why is the 14 Plus 3 weeks out on shipping compared to the other iPhone 14 models?
This product is subject to FCC rules as well as consumer protection, contractual, and other provisions of federal or state law. It cannot be delivered until the FCC’s authorization process is complete.

I'm new to AT&T; what plan is best?
Woo hoo! Welcome to the AT&T family. If you are new to AT&T and are looking at getting one of our service plans. I recommend AT&T Premium Unlimited as it gives you truly unlimited data for your new iPhone and up to 4K streaming. If you are not a data heavy user; I recommend AT&T Unlimited Extra as it gives you a good amount of data (50GBs) before slowing down. I will not however recommend Unlimited Starter unless you don't care about using that much data as this plan can slow down at any given point.

Can I keep my phone number?
Yes, during the sales process just submit your account information from your old provider. The day you receive your shiny new phone is the day, your phone number will be activated with AT&T and deactivated from your previous provider.


Other than that if you have any questions; drop them down below I myself or anyone on the thread can help answer your question.

Let the thread begin...
 
Hopefully they'll open a bit early like the last few years...14PM in Deep Purple for me!!
What I am hoping for as well---same option I plan on pre ordering--best of luck. Last year was really smooth hopefully this here is as well
 
My screen just went from the countdown to a different screen-sit tight-soon you'll be able to get our best deal and looks like a progress bar
 
I clicked pro instead of pro max-had to go back and now its stuck on trying to load the page smh
 
Just ordered. 1TB Purple, iPhone 12 PM trade in - 16.67 a month After $1k discount over 36 months, early upgrade selected, which means I’ll have to cough up the 50/month REAL price x 3 months (left) and forego all discounts remaining (21 x $28mo) to get the 15 Next year On launch date.

So the effective lease cost with a $1k trade is $457 a year counting Early Upgrade Fee, Activation Fee and paying to get to 50% just before upgrade time again next year.
