Typically if it's an apple.com order, it will be shipped via UPS and in some cases Fedex as well.
I have a question for you and please be honest. I have AT&T and I have an unlimited plan and what not. I use about 30-40 GB of data every month. Works good and I have never been throttled. At least it hasn’t felt like it. I see you have cricket. Assuming cricket has an unlimited plan, would you say there is a difference? I’m really asking because I don’t know if there is. I can afford to pay AT@T and Verizon but if with cricket, you get the same service, wouldn’t it be better to just go with them? I’m talking about phone call reception and drops as well. Please if you may, tell me about your cricket experience? I’ve always been curious about people and those commercials saying you get the same service with cricket or some other provider. Curious if true.
Wow, I didn't notice this but upon checking my order status it is also showing as 'preparing for shipment' that is fast! Does anyone know exactly where in China they ship from? I want to start playing the tracking game with my phone. That has got to be the best part out of this entire process.
Every iphone preorder I've ever done I've watched fly from China to Alaska and then to the USA. I think they keep them in China until the last possible minute to prevent any type of leaks or anything along those lines. Either way, as anyone who's impatiently tracked their preorder before knows, they all come from China in batches just before hitting the UPS and fedex shipping depots in regional areas the day before delivery.
Hi there! I had AT&T for about 15 years before I decided to leave and join cricket. I was on the grandfathered unlimited data plan and started off paying $75/month. AT&T kept raising their prices and I ended up paying $90/month for ONE LINE! One of my coworkers told me about cricket and I’ve been with them for almost a year and couldn’t be happier! They use AT&T towers so the reception and service is pretty much the same. I’m on the unlimited max plan and I’m only paying $60/month TAXES AND FEES INCLUDED. I know exactly what I’ll be paying each month. I use about 80 GB data each month, sometimes more and so far I haven’t been throttled. Phone reception to me is the same as with AT&T and I haven’t had any dropped calls. I highly recommend them!
Does Cricket offer personal hotspot? Also, I read that they they do use Att towers since it’s owned by Att. But that cricket data speed max is at 8mnps. I get way higher with att. This is what worries me.
That is correct. Hotspot, unfortunately is not included in any of their plans but you can add it if you like, just have to pay extra. As far as the internet speeds, I was worried about that too but it really hasn’t bothered me. I watch YouTube and stream baseball/basketball games all the time and so far it hasn’t bothered me one bit.
I gotta assume ALL of our phones are preparing to ship in one form or another.
