Carrier iPhone 7/7+ T-Mobile Pre-Order Thread

norsairius said:
Hopefully the first of many we'll see here quickly!

I just checked the phones I ordered for myself and nothing yet, but we've had tracking numbers since the weekend and my credit card has been charged for both so I'm assuming we'll have our phones (iP7 matte back and gold, both 128GB) tomorrow.

Did you EIP? Or Buy outright? From T-Mobile or from Apple?

I know it's not a big deal, but it is really annoying that I literally ordered at 3 AM EST on the dot and I won't be getting my phone on Friday. Ship date is still 9/19-9/26. 7 Plus 128GB Black.

Oh yup. When the 6 launched I received shipping and had zero movements afterwards. I was so worried I went to the store ready to buy a 6 and just return whatever came into the mail whenever it did. I'm at the store and my UPS says it was delivered after not receiving any tracking updates whatsoever.

But, did you have a cc charge before? Or did you have your phone even before the cc charge?

9/15-16. Shipped today, I'll get it tomorrow.

Problem is, I probably won't be home and MyChoice won't let me hold the package. Damn it.

I'm getting extremely anxious. My 32GB 7 says that it should ship between today and tomorrow, but it still says being processed. I don't even have a tracking number :S

Did you order through T-Mobile? Or through Apple? Is it EIP, outright, or Jump OD?

Same as you, mine was a little later at 3:05. I got the same ship dates. But last year, when i pre ordered the 6S plus, status did not move and i knew for sure i wasn't getting it until UPS knocked on my door with the phone, like 5 hours later it all updated.

That's just like I thought. If you place an order today after 2PM, your order will not be processed until tomorrow, so you can't expect to get that order tomorrow with next day shipping. This policy does not apply to orders that have already been placed. T-Mobile will be processing already placed orders well past 2PM.

Its happened for both the 6 and 6S. I actually had my 6S in hand and got an email on it from MyChoice letting me know I had a delivery and then T-Mobile telling me it shipped lol

I don't know about the Matte Plus folks, but some colors/models will have them shipped tonight and UPS's systems are slammed so there is a massive delay in push notifications

Here was my experience. I wanted to order an iPhone 7 Plus matte black 128 GB using JOD. But to do that I had to call. Took me a bit to find the number to call. So I called a little after 12 am last Friday. I was on the phone with the really nice salesperson for almost an hour, dealing with issues like a slow system and having to keep entering my info. After trying different ways to place the order I was told that I would have to wait 24 hours before I could complete the order. That was because she tried too many times to put in my card info, explaining that it was for protection, can't remember her specific words. So exactly 24 hours later she did call me back and we were able to complete the order. This was early Saturday morning. Got the confirmation e-mail by the afternoon and signed it. I was worried that I would lose my place in line by making the order later, but she told me that I wouldn't. (She was probably wrong lol). When I was on the phone with her she quoted a time frame of 9/19-9/26. But after placing the order it was shown as 9/27-10/10 and that's where it's been ever since. No update on anything. No charge on my card. Thought about dropping by a T-Mobile store Friday to see if they will have any but I'm not holding my breath. I work overnights so I'm not able to stand in line all night. Plus in the past they never carried the higher capacity models so I had to order them, but I made the order in the store. So that is where I'm at now.

Wow! That is insane. It's like I wrote this myself. The same thing happened to me and I also work overnight...
 
I ordered a 128 Jet Black + over the phone 9/9, for my EIP at 3:25amEST and confirmation email 4:00amEST.
Was told 9/16 over the phone when ordered but order confirmation says 9/19-9/23.

Got the complete trade in text message this morning for the first time. The lady on the phone on 9/9 had already asked for the IMEI on my trade in, is it normal for them to have requested it again today? At least, feels good to have gotten some sort of progress from T-Mobile since placing my order last week.

Now, to the bad news, is that when I called the number today the lady almost immediately said "Oh you'll get a tracking number from UPS once they ship because jet blacks are backordered" Heres to hoping on some miracle progress.

I placed mine at the equivalency of 9am PST (12pm EST) in store. Weird, because online it says I'm getting it via UPS Expedited Next Day, which isn't in that document.

I just want to know if I'm getting it tomorrow or not :S, because I planned on cancelling the order and going to the store if it wasn't available...

Exactly.

Why are people still discussing this? You have a few people pointing to the website, who don't know what they are talking about.

Then you have people like me, who have ordered MULTIPLE phones from T-Mobile. My last three orders from T-Mobile (6s Plus, S7 edge, Note 7 ICBM) all had shipping labels created late the day before arrival, and I had them first thing the next morning.

Now I live 4 hours from Louisville, so if you live in California, you experience will be different.
 
This whole back ordered thing, I can see people who ordered later being back ordered, but how can the first people be back ordered? Are they sending ANY blacks here? Just doesn't make sense to me when they say that.

I JUST SPOKE TO T-MOBILE THROUGH LIVE CHAT AND THEY TOLD ME ITS ON BACKORDER!!!!
 
Update. 7plus jet black 128GB EIP at 3:25amEST and confirmation email 4:00amEST.
Just got text message after completing my trade in saying it would ship between 9/16 and 9/21.
9/16 is better than 9/19. Heres to hoping a 12:01am shipping with same day delivery to Tampa.

Anytime the shipper (T-Mobile) does not have stock of what they sold it is "backordered". They could have had a minimal amount of Blacks, or maybe Apple saved them all for themselves.
 
Have any 256 Plus models been shipped? Irrespective of color. I don't think I've heard of any...

To be fair... not EVERYONE in the world who uses iPhones... let along not everyone who ordered from T-Mobile posts on MacRumors forums... there could be a few people getting their Black Pluses tomorrow.
