Apple and AT&T Websites Get Ready for iPhone 5 Pre-Orders

Yeah, what I was getting at was how this actually works. Since I'd be activating the iPhone in the middle of the month, will they count data I've already used (under the unlimited plan I have now) or will they give me a prorated 2GB from the day I activate the phone and count usage only after that?
Has anybody ever canceled a pre-order from AT&T? I mean is it possible to do if it has not been shipped?
TIA

Last year with the 4S, I ended up accidentally getting one from AT&T, and one from Apple (at the same time, delivered to my house) and just took the AT&T one back to an AT&T store and they sorted it all out.
Thank you David :bow:
Much appreciated
I had ordered ,accidentally, (i.e. was in a rush), the wrong model from AT&T for my wife and ordered the right one from Apple.
That is likely a soft estimate in order to cover themselves. I know people that have had that listed with older pre-orders and still received the product on release day.
I think Pacific
No Idea but I would hope they would start a fresh 2GB
I did just read that you can keep your VZW unlimited data plan if you buy the phone outright
I got through they transfer me to a different department and they are closed cause I'm on small business and they are not open 7am central
I think next year I'm dropping the small business
I placed my order at 12:31 pst but was told my place was being reserved as they couldn't get through to my carrier. About 20 minutes ago (a little after 2am pst), I got an email telling me my reservation was ready to be completed with a ship date of 9/21 as originally promised but then as I completed the order, my ship date got bumped back to "ships in 2 weeks"!!
Is this happening to anyone else? The email discussing reservations specifically said my spot was being held. I don't totally understand the problem. Am I missing something?
ps I'm trying to buy an AT&T phone if that makes any difference and I did so through the Apple website

Good Luck to all of you buying your new iPhones. I won't be getting mine until i sell my iPhone 4S. Hopefully that will get me out with the purchase of a new one. Even though the off contract phone is REALLY expensive, I've decided to not go by AT&T's contract and get it unlocked at full price... But then i tell myself, "Is it really a good investment to spend close to $800 on a phone?"
Since my iPhone IS factory unlocked, I'm hoping to get at least a good chunk of money for my new purchase! For the fortunate ones to get it at launch CONGRATULATIONS! ENJOY THEM!

well that sucks. I have a reservation waiting to be completed. I qualify at the $199 +2YR contract but I want to buy the phone outright without extending my contract. I dont care if its locked cause I'll have AT&T unlock it shortly there after. I never seen a way to do this...

I just called Apple to clarify my problem and in case it helps anyone else, I wanted to say that the representative explained that it should correct itself. Additionally, I asked about the ability to change shipping address and he said it will not change your shipping status. If you were scheduled to have your phone arrive on 9/21 you can change your address and it should not change the arrival date.
Hope this helps, KoNeko.
I just ordered mine from ATT at about 6:20 AM EST. I didn't have any actual word on wether or not I will get it next Friday. Anyone have any idea if ATT orders are still delivering on launch day?
I ordered mine through premier and my email said this:
Your iPhone has been reserved and should arrive as soon as Sept 21, 2012.
Looks promising but not set in stone.
Also orderd mine through premiere and got the same exact email. I'm really hoping by the end of the weekend I get a nice little tracking number from them for FedEx with a delivery date of Friday the 21st, but only time will tell. Let me know if you find anything else out!
Looks like Verizon won the battle of handling the pre-orders for the big 3 in the US.
Most transactions where reported as moving very smoothly.
You realize that the only reason they subsidize the phones is that they make the money back through charging more for monthly service, right? These monthly fees are already taxed more than regular in store item sales (over 13%), so there is no justifiable reason for taxing us more.
Not to mention that all taxation is immoral and is theft because we never personally signed any social contract and "contracts" cannot be unilaterally imposed on people at birth. Imagine if a stranger signed you up for another iphone contract without your knowledge and then sent you the bill. How happy would you be? How justified would the stranger be?
Just make sure you get your Apple Care within 30 days of purchase.
Totally! I will! Thanks!
$829 is rough
Oh it was $849. Only thing interesting is it said it wouldn't change my current contract end date. Which means by next year in May, I COULD bend over again for another 2-year contract but pay for a sub. price.
Anybody want to buy my Iphone 4s 64gb for $450?
