TMO system is still running like crap. so we will see whats gonna happen in the days to come
Hopefully all the dang 7+!!!
So probably won't see any charges/UPS notifications till after they hit L'ville?
Yah i would agree with that. TMO can't charge you for what they don't have.
Exactly! I wrote him a long email about it last year since it was the same circus. Perhaps all customers having issues should flood his inbox demanding they revamp their ordering system.
Got it, didn't know at what point in the logistics chain it becomes part of TMo's. But sounds like pretty much all the carriers' supplies of +'s haven't shipped yet.
Does anybody know if the T-Mobile iPhone 7s will support 4x4 MIMO? Or is it only capable if you get the CDMA models (Model A1660 & A1661)?

I'm with you. The "must go 24 months" without paying it off is what rubs me wrong too. But I am still (reluctantly) thinking about pulling the trigger. It is entirely possible that T-Mobile will have some other kind of promotion next year that helps us manage a reasonably priced upgrade even in spite of the situation this will put us into, but we can't count on it. No offense, but no matter what any T-Mo Representative tells you now, they have no idea what T-Mo will do during next year's upgrade.
Thank you very much for your input. I think this is an important discussion to have and everyone's thoughts is really helping me out. Too bad we're all not hanging out together having a beer, but hey, MacRumors is still a great place to be!
Has to be, considering 90% of people who've ordered a 7 have shipping dates confirmed except for the few with jet black editions
I'm guessing these are all the plus versions that will arrive in KY sometime tommorowish time wise since they're all heading to Anch before going to Loui. We'll definitely start seeing charges for plus models for most versions apart from the jet black people tommorow. If I recall, UPS holds the iPhones on thursday regardless of whether its closest to your home or not, and accounting for a 1-2 day travel time, charges have to be on tuesday by the latest unless you have a late shipping time frame (well into october/november). I imagine anyone within the 9/19-9/26 or earlier will DEFINITELY have their jet black model by release but further than that might have to wait another week just purely due to demand for the new color. Since most of the 7 models most likely will be available to the public easily within the first few days of release, production for the jet black versions for 128/256 7 and 7+ will be ramped up since those will be prone to backorders the most, along with the 32gb matte black.
I agree! We need to let the Executive Team at T-Mobile know how we feel about this.
And good thing they're not note 7's. We don't need another 9/11.
Because John Legere is with the cargo in one of the planes and is Periscoping it live!
I ordered a 128gb iPhone 7 Jet Black with conformation on 9/27. I'm hoping it's not true.Has to be, considering 90% of people who've ordered a 7 have shipping dates confirmed except for the few with jet black editions

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.

Site is used to track iPhone flights for the past few releases. People have been charged when the first batch of flights around 1-2 days ago entered KY for the 7 so its likely a good chunk of these phones (most likely plus models) will be for tmobile.
Exact same model, SoCal. Ordered from TMo online 9/10 9AM PST, received EIP at 10AM 9/10 and received order confirmation email at 11:45AM 9/10. Maybe today will be the day to become "SHIPPED"
No one got ship dates for any plus model before 9/19 sadly. Not even the other carriers.. Seems apple is a little behind on shipping.
I think the + 32GB model was the exception.
Wouldn't worry too much with a 9/27. Based on past experience with preorders, everyone that is within a 2 weeks of the official launch date will most likely get their configuration on launch. People with october time frames will get them by the end of september and those with november will likely be pushed right up to early october. Considering regular 7s are on schedule, dare I say people with mid-october will get them by end of september and november people soon after?
It seems to me that T-Mobile came up with the Jump On Demand free iPhone promotion at the very last minute, maybe because they heard that one of the other carriers was going to do the same. If that's the case, they put everyone else in the company at an extreme disadvantage because the online ordering system couldn't be modified that quickly to accommodate the promotion and too many of the customer service reps were not prepared on how to handle those orders. That would also make sense as to why straight answers can't be provided as to how to actually do the trade in.
This isn't the first time that I've felt like T-Mobile has just thrown these promotions together. I like T-Mobile (been with them for at least 13 years, I think it's been), but some of the things that they do are just crazy. I'm still on the original Jump program, so I didn't have any problems placing my orders online Friday morning. But, I also learned my lesson from the first iPhone pre-order that T-Mobile ever did with the 6, and didn't stay up to try to place my order at midnight PDT.
With iPhone plus models not starting delivery till after 9/19 i think TMO got a very small demand this year for iPhone 7's So normal shipping i think won't apply this year.

ok so who's actually working today? i keep refreshing the thread every like 2 minutes lol
My order for 2 devices switched over the weekend from USPS to UPS overnight. Not sure if that indicates anything. I am on JoD so there is no charge, but just a hold/authorization that should hit my account which has NOT yet.
Estimated Shipping: 09/27 - 10/11 (rep told me to ignore these dates and they are just place holders)
iPhone 7+ 32gb Black
Iphone 7+ 32gb Gold
Hopefully the switch from USPS to UPS overnight is an indication of some sort.
