I’ve gone to bed the night before launch & it might not even say origin scan. Then it is there the next day.

I think that happened to me last year and maybe one other time with the 6s Plus. The 7 Plus I remember Apple didn’t even give T-Mobile stock of the Black phones so no one got them until the Monday or Tuesday after launch.

That happened to me almost every Preorder with T-Mobile. All of the movement would happen from Louisville, KY to Out for Delivery the night before launch day.

So I have both my IMEIs now and the ship date has updated to today for both orders. Searching my mobile number on UPS as a reference number brings up tracking for one of them.

For those who havent got any update on tmobile order website , or get any ups my choice update , BUT DID GOT A CHARGED ON CARD : log in to your account , under bill section, scroll down to equipment installment plan , and you will see your phone ( 12/12pro ) showing the phone IMEI with the Active - Shipped . Thats will be mean you will get it this Friday !!

For anyone who still havent get a charge yet , just wait , next day air T Mobile will be cut off at 2pm PT , so if tomorrow after 2pm PT , and still no charge on card , pretty sure you wont get it on Friday !

Ordered from T-Mobile. It was a JoD. One of my lines is searchable by reference number but the other isn't, so I'm not surprised that you can't find yours. Both of mine are listed as active-shipped. I'm confident that I'll get it on Friday.

Full number with dash or no dash ? Do you put 1 before area code ?

That was super helpful, thank you! I had been charged since Monday but have seen no progress anywhere else. Fingers crossed that this is true because I really don't want to wait till November 17th.

Thanks for this info! Just wanted to add that my IMEI is not under billing/EIP BUT I did just find it in my UPS app. Earlier I checked using my phone number but it’s there now with the estimated delivery date of 10/23! Yippy ?

I’ve never been happier to lose nearly $300

Gonna check UPS, T-Mobile and all of that and post if I have an IMEI or tracking.

Very good sign that my phone will be here Friday, and some hope for you who are waiting to see what happens with the 10/24-11/2 quote!

By the way I was JOD 128 Pacific Blue, order finalized at 9:35am

I cant stand how these carriers give more credit to new customers than to existing ones. TMo gives a new customer $850 credit for the XS Max if the start new service, but Ive been with them for 5 years, and only get $500. I get attracting new customers, but at some point, us loyal customers will go to another carrier for a sweeter deal. Take care of your current clients, and the new customers will come.

In fairness they are offering another $200 for customers who have been with them for a long time. I've been with them since 2007 and was eligible for that bonus and you might be as well.
