Oh dear T-Mobile. <sigh>
I love T-Mobile's network and monthly plan/benefits that I receive, but ordering a new device through them = MASSIVE time waster.

Just to give some insight on my brother who is on Verizon. He stopped in Monday and they are doing a way better deal where for any iPhone from the 5 forward as long as it boots you get a $400 credit towards the new phones. He ordered a 128gb MB 7 this past Monday and they are telling him he will get his phone on the 27th of September.

My mom (also Verizon) took advantage of the same deal on Tuesday for a 32gb MB 7 and they are telling her she will get her phone same day the 27th of Sept.

I bet if anything Apple says to all the carriers OK who is going to pay us the most to get the first orders and T-Mo cheaped out this year and didn't pay up so we are all getting our phones dead last.

Went to Costco last night and everyone the cellular stand was helping (who pre-ordered) had 7+ jet blacks but on Verizon and AT&T. So there is movement on these phones just not with T-Mobile.

Definitely unhappy with this launch and seriously considering for the 8 in 2 years just purchasing in full from Apple or switching from magenta all the way.

Good god. Never ever ordering tmo again.

Literally reserved a MB iPhone 7+ At the NYC soho location last nifht.

Walked in at 11:05 Am for 11 reservation. Walked out with a sprint 128 ten minutes later.

It my 256 ever comes in next 14 I'll either return this or return TMo. But why do I put myself through this every year when it's now three years in a row I was able to buy at Apple before my tmo preorder arrives?

Hoping others have the same luck.

I know I'm venting, but I am seriously pissed now. In reference to my post above, I just got my new trade-in shipping instructions and despite having the T-Mobile Rep read back the info on my trade-ins, the forms list the wrong model number and wrong capacity. I'm now back on the phone with them yet again, wasting more of my life away. And worse yet, the T-Mo rep I'm talking to now said that I absolutely lost my place in line on the 7+ and I probably won't get it until December.

I'm frickin livid right now and I'm on hold waiting on a supervisor. I'm reasonably certain that I'm going to cancel everything and leave T-Mobile. It was nice paying less each month, but I'm sick and tired of wasting hours and hours of my time just to order a phone.

Woot mine comes today later...
Question.....

If I get a hiss gate and I'm not satisfied can I go to apple store and get a exchange? Or have to go to tmobile store ?

Forgot how the return/test drive works.. like 2 weeks or a week to return it if don't like and just pay stock fee..

I don't want a hiss gate for something that cost massive amount of pennies.. I want my money worth lol..

Did you have any trouble buying it? When I made a reservation for a sprint phone a few minutes ago, it wouldn't let me select buy it outright, but acted like I had to start a line with them. I still reserved and hoping they let me pay in full in store.

damn, I felt this one. Sorry man. You ave a better chance at getting something from the apple store THIS WEEK than getting through TMO. smh. all the Tmobile tuesday stuff made them skimp out on ordering enough iPhones for preorders.
 
So everyone got shipping info for the 7+ mb 32 & i am here patiently waiting. Ok not so patiently. But i am waiting lol

Still here..

To cheer some people I know 2 people one on att and 1 on T-Mobile that haven't got their phone. Both ordered at the start of preorder's the T-Mobile guy ordered his through apple and nothing yet. What im saying is it's not just T-Mobile, its apple's fault they can't keep up with demand.
 
Seeing all the disappointment today I'm thinking tmobile had better do some serious damage control very quickly. Some of this isn't their fault but a lot of the confusion and delays belong to them.
I've done a few different launches with them recently and they've all been the same. The S7 edge launch was equally as ridiculous.
 
Where is this info coming from?
He's the troll. Hard to believe anything he says. I contacted T-Mobile to get my upgrade fee waived which they did, and the gentleman told me that my phone should be shipping out within the next couple days. I don't know how he knows this. Probably just T-Mobile rep BS
