Carrier T-Mobile iPhone X/8 Pre-Order and Dispatch Thread

[Jett0516]

Thank you Tmo!!

Ordered 530am Friday.

 

[pudcraft]

Shipped!

(really just means the label was made and ready to ship when Apple says go)

 

[VDubb]

Both mine (256GB SG ordered at 12:05am) and my wife’s (64GB Silver ordered Friday evening around 6:30pm) have shipped! Showing up in UPS!

Agreed, but our phones could still be in China. We have a tracking number that will begin to work once the phones are scanned in Louisville. Until then they will be listed as "Order Processed: Ready for UPS." I think we are saying the same thing, but the poster I replied to seemed to think their phone was sitting in Louisville – which is not necessarily true...

Phones are in KY why would they individually scan phones again I have a IMEI number to my phone. It’s like this every year you get charged when a phone is connected to your order when they receive them and scan them

How did you check for an IMEI number?

Ordered 10/28 at 9:30am PDT Silver 64gb with 11/3-11/10 expected ship dates. UPS My Choice shows tracking number and expected delivery on 11/3 but order status is not updated on T-Mobile website.

Well this post is enough for me to get a T-Mobile credit by whining if mine doesn't ship on time. Ordered 24hrs before you...still no activity.

No. Apple assigns IMEI to T-Mobile and then T-Mobile assigns that number to customers. It has nothing to do with the location of the phone. The phones can be in transit to Louisville after Apple has assigned the IMEI numbers to T-Mobile. Nothing is being scanned individually at this point. Any scans are for a plane full of devices, and we don’t see those as T-Mobile customers. Apple customers will.

My Space Gray 256GB ordered at 1:22am PT (signed EIP docs @ 10:22am though, ) hasn't moved from processing. And UPS My Choice doesn't have any activity yet thus far. I hope we see some movement tomorrow or Wednesday.

OK my credit card was charged around 5:40am PT and finally got shipping notice around 4pm PT. Woooohoooo!

 

[writingcode]

OMG, I ordered mine at 8:25am on Friday and haven't got any updates . Same model SG 256GB.

I ordered at 5:45 AM Eastern on Friday. Same model as you. I haven't been charged and I'm still stuck in the "Pre-Order" status. Hopefully we see some movement by tomorrow.

Yeah as people have said already, T-Mobile has no knowledge of phones in China. T-Mobile give Apple regular updates with how many phones they need and in what configurations and that's it, the rest is up to Apple. The phones land in Louisville along with a roster of what's inside the boxes and that's how T-Mobile knows how many more orders they can fulfill -- in fact they don't even know the frequency at which they'll receive phone shipments or in what color/storage, Apple sends whatever they want to send to T-Mobile. If they only receive 10,000 SG 256GB X's on a given day, they'll assign/package each phone in order of pre-order and store them in their warehouse until shipment day. At least that was the case with the 6/Plus, I spoke on the phone to an 'executive' from T-Mobile after I had a back and forth with John's team because I complained about the *horrendous* pre-order. The process might have changed by now and maybe that so-called 'executive' was just giving me bull excrement to shut me up haha.

Interesting when checking my emei it says it’s one day old....

"Kept on Hold" is now back to "Running". I'm out of songs so guess I'll just wait patiently.

Go to billing on my T-Mobile and click on the installment plan

Got my tracking number from UPS! Launch day delivery. Unbelievable -- I ordered the 64GB Space Gray at 7:30am PST and didn't think in a million years that would happen. T-Mobile site still showing that order is being processed.

Mine is 8 days old and was made in Chengdu....14 hours by car from where yours was made.

Wow. That's really interesting information! Mine was produced today as well but my wife's was produced 8 days ago.

Very cool! Thanks!

You are right and same thing I said friend is on executive response team at T-Mobile and that’s how it goes was trying to tell someone’s here but he believes Apple assigns IMEI numbers but it’s all sorted when they receive phones in Louisville

That’s why some people are seeing IMEI numbers that came off the assembly line in the last 24 hours. Those phones are not in Louisville yet. I’m not arguing, just correcting misinformation passed along by people who claim to have inside connections.

Should I not expect a launch day delivery for my X? I ordered Saturday at 2pm (PDT) and got an expected date of 11/3-11/10. I see that a lot of people with the same date have gotten charged and received notification via UPS. I still haven't been charged, My-Tmobile still states "Being Processed", and My UPS doesn't show anything coming in. Really hoping it comes on Friday!
