I have a bluetooth set that I already love. I'll keep the set that comes with the iPhone put up as a spare. At least now being the only iPhone person in the house, these pesky teens won't bother to steal them. They go through more headphones than anyone I have ever came in contact with.

Hell I'd be making them pay for the new headphones.. lol

I had this happen last year as well, ordering through Exec team the Monday after launch...didn't get there right on launch day, but I think the Monday after.

you had an estimate way past launch as well? this would be disappointing. she told me this via email in response to me asking if it'll actually take that long after I first got my estimate.

I finally made the switch to T-Mobile after being with At&t for 18 years. I walked into the store on Friday night. I switch my plan and bought an iPhone 7 plus 128 jet black and an iPhone 7 gold for the wife. The clerk told me that there is no back order and I should receive my phones in the mail on Friday. I get a confirmation email about my order the next day telling me My phones will be shipped 11/01/16 - 11/30/16. I thought that was some kind of date place holder tell the iPhone ships this week but when I called customer service he told me that the computer system at the store is different from the main national system and is behind on that kind of information, so those dates are correct. He told me that there's a very, very small chance to get the phones I want by standing in line at a store on Friday. Oh, and I can't sign up to T-Mobile online to help track any of this because I don't have a T-Mobile phone yet.


i'm surprised you believed that, how does one go in at night and believe he'll get the phone on launch? i went in at night as well but i knew i wasnt getting them on the 16th, its just common sense being lots of the phones were being sold out. i would of taken them with a grain of salt.
but i do understand the not being able to log into your account since i'm also an att member and today my contracts ends with them. so me and my partner will be going in on wednesday to port over our existing lines to tmobile.
your not getting the jet black phone anytime soon, that sold out in minutes.

Any T-mobile store employees here that can report on if they will actually even stock any jet black plus on launch day? In the past they never told me if they were getting specific models except the base one. Any black 7 plus would be fine to me, I ordered jet black because my lady got the matte black. Didn't know it would be pushed to November so fast. It's so trivial yet really annoying to own the same color way as your significant other. I am constantly picking up the wrong phone (6 plus space gray).

Yeah, when I ordered the 6s last year, I didn't get my order squared away with the exec team till well after, and I think dates had slipped pretty far after that. So ultimately I believe they did prioritize it, as I got it shortly after launch, but part of it was because they had to send it UPS ground for some reason? I did another exec order this year after telephone team shafted me again (one rep said I couldn't do JoD over the phone), remembered to contact Art Lucero, who put me through to one of his team members, and he said that I was one of his first exec orders that morning (for the 7+), and that there shouldn't be any problem prioritizing. He said their orders have a certain number that doesn't necessarily match up with the system side of T-Mo that they let the warehouses know to prioritize. So could it be blowing smoke? Who knows? I'm just going off the hopes that it worked last year.

my est time of arrival has been 9/27-10/24 since the beginning. i placed the order with the executive team and she said she would "prioritize" it. With that kind of estimate, is there pretty much no shot I'm getting on launch?
I sure hope not. I have the same date and completesd order at 12:35 PST. Should be by launch.

It seems to me that T-Mobile came up with the Jump On Demand free iPhone promotion at the very last minute, maybe because they heard that one of the other carriers was going to do the same. If that's the case, they put everyone else in the company at an extreme disadvantage because the online ordering system couldn't be modified that quickly to accommodate the promotion and too many of the customer service reps were not prepared on how to handle those orders. That would also make sense as to why straight answers can't be provided as to how to actually do the trade in.

This isn't the first time that I've felt like T-Mobile has just thrown these promotions together. I like T-Mobile (been with them for at least 13 years, I think it's been), but some of the things that they do are just crazy. I'm still on the original Jump program, so I didn't have any problems placing my orders online Friday morning. But, I also learned my lesson from the first iPhone pre-order that T-Mobile ever did with the 6, and didn't stay up to try to place my order at midnight PDT.

Yup, I feel like John Legere comes up with these things on the go, honestly. Like he just thinks of some free iPhone promo and messages his execs "FREE IPHONE ON US!" the day before the announcement.

I don't know what T-Mobile were trying to up-sale a case with it when I preordered over the phone but I just took it. Haha. "Total is $272... Shut up and just take my money"

Watching some of his videos & such, he DOES seem to have that personality. Lol.
