Carrier iPhone 7/7+ Verizon Pre-Order Thread

same i want my phone i ordered the same one. I called today and the cs rep said that most of them will be shipping at the end of the month aka sept 28 which was the original ship date. maybe they will come early but i think that ship sailed
annoyed with the fact that the order date slipped on the check status I called into ask what is going on. VZW claims that they are pushing out orders now and according to the two people I spoke with the new date when clicking the check order status from the email is the new date. Ridiculous. oh well.
LOL......get's a new iphone 7 Plus, but is still riding in back seat getting taxi'd around by parents.
I walked into the local Best Buy this morning and they had stacks of iPhone 7s available and no line, so I called Verizon to cancel the order I placed for my daughter's 32gb Silver 7 which was due to ship on Sept 28. He said it would take 10 minutes to update in the system. I should have predicted this, but even though Verizon's system now shows the line being available to upgrade, Best Buy's system still thinks there's a pending order. Who knows how long it will take to clear. I will check tomorrow, but in the meantime, their stock is diminishing. Hoping to give it another shot tomorrow, but as of right now, we're back to square one.
Side note: my jet black 128gb Plus preorder from 9/9 at 12:39am is still showing 10/26.
Thankfully I have an amazing wife who is letting me use her 7+ 128gb until my 256gb gets here Monday or Tuesday next week. No more pink iPhone 5c for this guy!
I was able to FINALLY get some answers about the "Jump the Line" request from a supervisor in the Core/Credit department that handles them. She told me that there were around 40 people that ordered 7+ Jet Black 128GB models that got bumped from 9/16 to 9/23 which is the next date. She confirmed that I was put back to my original date of 10/5 (currently it's 11/16) but it won't reflect online because the system isn't set up to do that.
She sent me an email from her personal work email address to follow up with her. So, there's hope! At least now I finally have some answers after getting no help from customer care reps and even Executive Relations. She confirmed the "JTL" request was approved and processed.

Same here! Meanwhile my friend returned his Note 7 today and picked up a 128gb 7 Plus Matte Black at Target by just walking in. Unbelievable!
thanks susan!
i tried to put my old sim in the new phone turn it on and it couldn't activate because of a problem with the activation server. does it have to activate when I put the old sim in?
-- edit. it worked the third time
Yes, it'll have to activate, but because Verizon's server is overloaded, keep trying. Also, try plugged the phone into iTunes and see if you can activate it that way.
Yes me too. It's a lot of us... someone even made a post just for us 32gbs losers.Still being patient for the 32GB
That's the verizon we all know and love!You made out better than me, Glen said he was going to hunt me down based on my billing address and make me sorry if I called again. It was my first call.
Got one of my two activated. Now iTunes update issues lol. Combo so SLOW DSL and prob millions updating iTunes to restore from backup

thanks susan. it did work the 3rd time. I was partially freaking out that I switched the sim cards and put the original one back in so that's why it was having problems activating, but it was the right one and it worked the last time.
thanks again.
Cancelled my order and went to corporate store. Walked out with 128 gig Matte Black 7. They said they are out of pluses but totally full of regulars. Try the stores if desperate.
So for everyone that got their phones, what are your thoughts on the new home button?
Hey Guys so i can either wait till 10/5 or later for my JB 128gb 7 or go right now to my verizon store and get a 128gb MB which they have in stock, what do you think?
