If this is true, I'd like to know when you placed your order and if you either upgraded or a new customer to sprint.
Note 7 exploded, Sprint Executive relations that's who handles customer support for actual executives gifting me a free 7 Plus 128GB as an apology, and to keep me as a customer. Zero cash out of pocket. Note 7 fully refunded.

If they're trying to keep you as a customer, makes sense. Us loyal customers who just want to upgrade, are just chump change to them haha.

So I thought I found one that could possibly match my order but a signature was required...does Sprint require a signature for their phones?

Typed in 19 (first two numbers of my product id number) in the UPS track my reference section. Two things popped up that were last in Hodgkins, IL. Problem is, their bost scheduled to be delivered by the end of the day on Thursday the 15th, so yeah, not my special little iphone 7+. :(

I used the UPS trick and it says it's coming from Hodgkins, IL and it'll be delivered by Monday(the 19th). Hope this helps!
There were also some on mine that said "Hodgkins.IL" With the same monday date, hmmm. It said signature required.

Loyal yes since 2006. Note 7 went boom. Sprint hooking me up. Got to keep free smart watch and Samsung PR dept. Sending me a free Note 7 later on.

Will soon have a Note 7 and a IPhone 7 Plus Matte Black. Wife gets 7 Plus Jet Black if I find one.

I really lean towards the Note 7 because I have 20 SNES games on there Super Mario World and Mario Kart and
MAME have 10 or so Arcade games on there

Old enough to remeber this as an 8 year old I think. So awesome

Can you image the pilots of these planes? always wondering if they have their own iphone in their possession while flying?

*edit* & then miss the truck, when they are working, instead of being home?

iPhone 7 Plus 128 Matte Black

9/12 7:59am

New Sprint Customer
Nice, seems like Sprint has a lot of 7 Pluses unlike Verizon or T-Mobile seems like they got preferential distribution this time as recommence for not getting enough Rose Gold 6s units last year.

My 7 Plus is on its way but it's a mission to get a 7 Plus Jet Black in Miami Walk In.

Just putting this out there, but one of those planes from Anchorage is flying into Ontario California. That's the first time I've seen that. It's an MD11, so it's likely to have a pretty decent number of phones on it. Make of it what you will, but does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

My order - Fri, Sep 9, 2016, 1:18 AM Pacific - 128 black matte 7+
Order #803449*** - add a line

Set to ship before 9/30 according to my order screen. I talked with a Stephanie from customer advocacy today and she said they show what their Apple logistics say about their stock. According to her Sprint doesn't know how many units they can ship yet.

100% BS Stephanie doesn't know but Sprint Executives sure do. They maybe even Apple can track each model phone where it is and when it will arrive. All by Air Freight out of Shenzhen, China Arriving in LA spread from there via Air. All currently well underway.

My order: 7+ JB 128GB, 9/9 @ ~1:25am PST ** Upgrade

Order #: 803456***

Just spoke to sprint tonight (9/14 @ 10pm PST)

:(:( Servers were up around ~11:55pm PST on pre-order night but the Sprint site wouldn't accept my credit card information until about an hour and a half later at 1:25am PST.

Never had such a frustrating pre-order night experience. To be fair, Apple's website was a mess as well.

Yeah, I don't buy it either...

I have a Note 7 that this 7+ will be replacing, first Apple device. When I preordered the Note, I don't think I had accurate tracking until the day before.
