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

[jamezr]

Looks like some are flying.

Some might start getting shipping notices with tracking Monday and Tuesday for delivery on Friday.

Apple has begun shipping out iPhones for Friday's release! Once you've received your UPS tracking number from Apple you can use this handy map and list to figure out what flight is carrying your iPhone. The 'departure scan' in your UPS track should match the departure time for a flight listed here. This page will be expanded once we learn more about Apple's shipping strategy for this release.

I got a text message stating that I have to return my phones by 10/9 but the order isn't even slated to ship until an earliest of 10/25 (JOD)...lol

I was told you have 14 days from the date your iPhone is delivered. Just ignore it.

This trade in your 6 for 7 for $120 etc. seems like a pretty good deal but they don't warn you that above and beyond that you will have a small monthly payment after credits. For me it's $9.79 monthly above and beyond the $220 plus tax for my iPhone 7 plus 128GB. Maybe it's in the fine print.

That seems odd. Thought the $220 took care of any excess beyond the free base model cost. I'd have them explain what that is.

ALSO: I have a close friend who works at T-Mobile and his GM owns 15 TMO stores. He walked into work yesterday and told me that his store (and some of the other stores his GM owns) has already received shipment of 300 iPhone 7+ and they expect more shipments for the 7 (today or monday).

Yup, I was also told I have 14 days to give my 6S back after receiving my 7. He also said we can return it by taking it into any TMO store.

Honestly I'll give T-Mobile a break here. I think most people including myself thought
the Matte Black would sell more. Well because the jet black will be a finger print magnet and will scratch very easy, and be more slippery. Especially when so many talk alot of crap about how the Galaxy S7 edge is all those thing as well.

Hands on reports indicate the jet black is actually not slippery at all.

That's what I was thinking also but not really the case according to the English speaking rep. I guess I will truly see when I get my first bill.

What I can say is that last year when exec team told me they'd get in touch with the warehouse and move my phone to be shipped with the first batch to go out so I could still get it on launch day (since I did, yanno, actually order right at midnight ) that's exactly what happened. They said the same thing to me this time and I expect that's what will happen again.

I hope your right, but I have more faith in the manager at my stores honestly after how my day of phone calls went yesterday. If I roll the dice and let the office handle it I lose the ability to do the upgrade at the store. The only good news I got is that the supervisors of supervisors told me or JOD Amped credits should stay on the account, and if they don't I got her name and number and she said to call her back and she will get them back on.

 

[muadibe]

I will probably get some hate for asking this, but why did people call in the middle of the night? Seems like everybody will be getting shipped in the same time frame?

I also don't understand the anger over paying money up front. In the end I will be getting a $900+ phone for about $200 total including taxes. That's a good deal imo.

Are you subtracting the value of your trade-in from that $900 though?
[doublepost=1473520535][/doublepost]

Anybody get a late eta last year and got it delivered on launch date

Yes, I did. As did many others. The date is just an estimate, but they try to get as many delivered on launch day as possible.

Finally got EIP this morning, ship date still 9/16. Holy crap T-Mobile

When did you order? What model did you order? Pic of the delivery date? So I can drool?!?!

 

[12vElectronics]

Still no text or email other than original EIP email...

 

[Shaqtus]

Order status: being processed. Estimated shipping: 9/15-9/16. Purchased yesterday at 5PM EST.

IMO this is better than iPhone 6 launch. Not receiving a damn shipping. Going to tmo then getting a call that my phone was delivered lol

iPhone 7 128GB Black, non plus. Had the 6s Plus and felt it was too big, so it'll be nice to go to a smaller phone packed with more space. I'm most excited for the space.

Your best bet is to take it to a TMO store. Just make sure it's one considered to be a 'main store'. Took mine to one store where they told me they couldn't take the phone there. Went to another store considered to be one of these main stores. I was out of there in 10 minutes having turned in a leased phone. They zero'd out the lease and gave me a printout showing it was paid off.

So I'd call the store you plan to take it to and make sure they take phones at that location before going. They may tell you it should be mailed in. That is nonsense. Just find the right store.

Thanks a lot. Will make sure to do that.

Just don't wanna get screwed over and delay in credits and actually cost me money

All phones are coming ups. It is a system error displaying *usps*

Oh really? Crap. USPS comes to my house earlier than UPS usually does

 

[sean3]

I think I'm kind of upset though, at the fact that I placed my order before some of the people in this thread, and yet for me it shows it won't ship until at least the 27th, while others have theirs on launch day. Sure maybe it will get pushed up, but I highly doubt it. I'm more annoyed because the T-Mobile rep said even though I may get the email later since they were having issues with that, I'll still have the same spot in line for it. Clearly that is not true, but whatever. I'm probably going to be running around next Friday, it is what it is.

Thanks for the info CBillups1, I'll try that out.

I got USPS Priority in the order shipping info and the email I got says overnight shipping.

 

[formerpc]

I got straight through at 12:01 to a call center rep, no waiting. Got my e-sign email right after and filled out, all before 12:30. I ordered the 7 Plus 128GB in Silver and have a ship date of 9/19-9/26. Not happy that it's not a launch day delivery, especially because I was one of the first to get it ordered, but oh well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[macosxuser01]

How many e-mails have you receive regarding your order? So far I've gotten two.
One is the EIP - "E-sign to complete your order" and the other is "Your copy of the signed EIP agreement."
Has anyone else receive a shipping number or something else?
