Ok, I haven't been following the orders that do not start with an S. Mine is #S01750#### and I ordered 9/9 @ 3:30pm EST. I've been following other people who ordered the JB 7+ 128 and I've seen up to #S0174##### that were charged on Friday and ordered 9/9 @ 11:30pst. So it seems they are *somewhat* going in order from the patterns I've noticed. I was going to cancel my order and go with a different color, but I feel pretty good that I will get charged in the next mass batch like they did on Friday, even though my ESD is 11/1-11/30.
I would keep your order active and call some local T-Mobile stores every few days to see if they have (or have even received any 7+) a model you want.

I picked up the 7 MB 128 on launch day, it's nice, but coming from a 6s+, I'm ready for my 7+ big screen!

Same with me. I had preordered the 32gb MB on launch and they did not have my order even processed so I did what you did above. My 7 had a defective home button in that it would not work at some times and I would have to reboot the phone and I really hated the small screen so I took it back and am suffering with an old Android until I get my new phone. When I took the 7 back, I ordered a 32gb silver plus since that was the earliest shipping time, 11/1 to 11/30 and I really was not thrilled about waiting.
Had some conversations with the exec team and they were able to work it where I will get a 256 black plus and have it before 11/1 with a couple discounts thrown in.
Now its hurry up and wait.

I wish T-Mobile stores around here had iPhone 7's in stock! I've called a ton of them and they all said they won't have any till November. Some said sometime this month but they couldn't give me an estimate of what they'd have. I'm in Southern California.
So I spoke to a rep today (I know they don't usually know anything) but the guy I spoke to today told me that my order is processed and awaiting inventory. So I'm guessing once your order goes into backorder status then you're just awaiting the shipment to come in for your order. I'll take that.
I wonder if mine is waiting inventory too. They keep telling me my order isn't on backorder even though they don't have the phone in stock. So confused haha
Does it say backorder or order processing? Mine said order processing and then it switched to backorder. So I'm guessing that's the process before I get charged? I don't even know anymore lol
I debated a 7+,
The store I got mine in had 2 7+ in 256gb on Saturday. I just got lucky.
Uggg I feel like no one is getting movement on the mb 32gb+
Soooooo, I have NO idea how or why this happened but...
Apparently my iPhone 6S is assigned to my husbands number and my husbands Galaxy S6 Edge Plus is assigned to my number. So my order got mixed up. Long story short, they're fixing the assigned phones & numbers so that it's MY phone that I send back when my new one comes in.
Here's the kicker:
I had to place a new order. I'm at the back of the line now, folks! Lol why T-Mobile why?!?! This preorder is truly something else haha.
iPhone 7+ JB 128gb
Est. shipping: 11/15-12/12
And oddly enough, this phone is $3 cheaper than the regular 128gb JB 7 I originally ordered. I know it's just $3, but how weird.

been watching this thread but haven't posted anything,
1st ordered: on pre order day via in store(my friends as well), i signed my EIP a day later. received my iPhone 7 MB 32gb the Monday following launch day (my friends all received on launch day)
2nd order: made on sept. 14 around 10pm (Chicago time), ordered 3 iPhone 7 MB 32gb, and 1 iPhone 7+ MB 32gb. signed EIP an hour later. since then I've been in the "being processed" phase estimated ship date nov1-30, hoping I get it soon but i did order it pretty late so not expecting it soon especially since a lot of u who ordered on 9/9 haven't gotten theirs yet. Although i might say the best way to contact T-Mobile is through twitter DMs, they reply faster than any other customer service out there, I really appreciate the quick helpful response. Just now i messaged them and they said "So good news and bad news..... I see that most of your devices are ready to go, but some aren't. Unfortunately, they were not ordered separately, the whole order will ship when all phones are in stock. Looks like the iPhone 7 plus is the hold out. You will get a text message when the order ships!"
well its good to know the rest are ready, which means whenever the 7+ MB 32gb gets in stock, i should be getting a nice package soon.
side note: i have 5 lines on my plan but im the only iphone user, I took advantage of their trade in program before launch date. I bought 4 refurbished iphone 6 16gb phones $300 each(from my plug) and traded them in for 7s, i will be selling all the 7s except the 7+ which will be my personal phone. Also i do not have jump/jod
Orland park, IL (south side chicagoland suburbs)
anyone know how to find out where they are in the queue? I asked a tmobile rep and they said there is no way to know where a customer sits in the order fulfillment line.

Posted this many pages ago.... Lol
All they wanted to do was credit our account for the cost of shipping! And then they wanted me to buy cases and screen protectors. I guess it'll make a nice Christmas present lol. I have to find some humor in this craziness!IKR I'm getting so tired of waiting
