So, I work for a corporate AT&T location, and I can tell you that our new policy is that the SIM must be activated in store. I'm curious how she made the exception to this especially since you're supposed to deal with customer care on the phone. They probably won't do it. I'm just trying to forewarn you that it might not work. I truly hope for your sake it does. Just don't want you to have any surprises. The only other way I can think she did this, is if she parked the SIM card. In that case all you'll have to do is call the automated system for activation.
Ugh. This is my first time ordering an iPhone. Didn't know it didn't come with a sim. Is it free to get a sim?
No. You should be able to find a tracking number by reference by now. So chances are that it has shipped or was already in the states.
If they have, and they make me come into the store to activate my phone, that will probably be the last straw.
That's nuts if you can't just activate the phone over the air or with iTunes anymore. I'll be gone too. I personally think this was misinformation. No reason whatsoever for that to have changed.
Surely if AT&T is requiring everyone who buys an iPhone 6S from Apple on Friday to come into an AT&T store to activate it, either Apple or AT&T would've put out some kind of press release. Otherwise, there will be thousands of people on Friday wondering why their phone doesn't work.
Thanks for the heads-up... My last 4 orders through Apple over the last few years went different than this
I just received an email the day we had to pre order, after that no longer receive any e-mail and my process has not changed from "waiting process"
