No.... He is correct. Calling them is useless, end of discussion.
They have no control over your phones shipping speed.

NO. I've personally experienced getting my tracking number from TMO after I had my iPhone in hand. The only reason I knew about a package arriving was UPS MyChoice. For that particular instance, my phone "arrived" in Louisville at 2 AM and I received it later that afternoon. That said, I do benefit from living only 4 hours from Louisville, so YMMV.
And to everyone asking about their card being charged, you're golden! TMO doesn't charge your card until your unit has been allocated for shipping. In other words, if you've been charged, your iPhone is shipping shortly and you should have it on Friday.
Source: me. Been doing this TMO pre-order thing for years (even before we got the iPhone).
Wish I could've paid taxes so I would have had a little extra update/information on my order!!
I pre-ordered two iphone 7 Plus black 128 and 256 on the 9th at 1210am. Everything went smoothly and perfect. Signed contract after 30 min and received confirmation. However I received the same text to call a number before 10pm to complete the trade in process. I did call and we went through the trade in process again like on the 9th. The only difference is that my credit was fully charged and the shipping date moved from 9/19 to 9/26 to 9/15 to 9/20. So I guess I will receive a ups tracking number soon for delivery on launch day.
Just sign up for UPS MyChoice, as soon as a label is created, you'll be notified...
no i know. I'm not gonna call them. but it just sounds like he cares too much what other people do
I second everything you said. I always get a departure scan form Louisville, KY at 2:59am. Arrival in Commerce City, CO at 2:59am (1 hour time difference), then delivered to Colorado Springs by 3pm. If you don't get anything by early Friday morning then you probably won't get it on launch day. Until then, there's a chance.
It's pretty annoying loading up the site to see if the black phones are shipping and have to read through a bunch of dumb comments of I just got off the phone.... or the what case comments.
Used my phone number to track iPhone 7+ Jet Black, 128 GB on UPS. It will be delivered by EOD Friday. I ordered at exactly midnight via phone. Great news!!
Easy solution: don't load the site! be gone
My references don't work so I think that's because no label was created yet. Ups doesn't say anything for me but congrats!!!
Yes I called. They changed my credit card already and shipping date moved from 9/19 to 09/15 for two iphone 7 Plus black 256 and 128
I ordered the jet black 7+ 128 gig on the 9th at 6:30 p.m. central and signed everything in 10 minutes. I was given a estimated ship date of 11/1/2016 - 11/30/2016 , however I just received a text from T-mobile to contact them to complete the trade in process. This was unusual because there was not trade in when I signed for my phone. When I explained that to the CSR he informed me this is just the verbiage used in the text, but did say my device was ready to be shipped!
To all those saying they got a text about a trade-in it didn't indicate they were trading in.... Pretty sure if you pre-ordered an iPhone 7/7+ and they have your cell # you will get this automatically. I intend to trade in my 6 (actually 4 of em) but wasn't asked about it during order.
Ditto. Also, Ive ordered many phones...and while using the new phone, Tmo's website says "Order Processing"
If your status on their website has updated past "processing" feel lucky.
