How did you add it to iCloud? That isn't possible without the phone itself.

My thoughts exactly...

This answers the upgrade swap/cross upgrade question, and it is direct from AT&T:

Good link. I spoke to a rep at an AT&T store the other day. They do NOT have nano SIMs (or at least they didn't Sunday.) So do NOT turn on the iPhone 5 until you have gotten the swap straightened out. Once you turn it on, you have "spent" the nano SIM and I'm not sure you can get it switched to a different number. And you may have a hard time finding another one.

He gave me a new sim for my mom's new iPhone 4S, but we were unable to activate that because her line is locked down for the iPhone 5. So I will call, have them swap the sim's on the 2 phones. Then I think I'll use my old phone to call my mom and see which phone she gets the call on. I'll wait till her iPhone is working to turn on my iPhone 5. Don't want to screw up her line or my nano SIM. Bummed it had to go down like this, but I'll get through it. Hopefully the call/trip to AT&T won't take too long. Ugh, who am I kidding?

Oh please tell me at least someone tried this! Obviously it does not really work. Just trying to help others kill time until their phone arrives on Friday.

I think my phone is circling the US on a plane or something. Left Alaska at 12:58am today local time and hasnt shown any arrival scan anywhere yet...

I'm in the same boat as you.

If it says that it will delivery on 9/21, it will be delivered to you on 9/21. Stop clogging the chat lines for people that might actually have issues with the Apple product.

Thank you. Well stated.

Still sitting in Louisville. Hoping it gets put on a plane to Ontario, California today.

The weight says .90 lbs.

I have not seen any this high. Most are .40lbs.

Did I get 2?

 

[trdspectacoma]

mine says preparing for shipment also still. Go back to the first page of the forum and try tracking it by reference on UPS website. I used my cell phone number and put in the date range, US and my zipcode and got tracking info. Right now it left Alaska at 12:58am today local time and so far hasnt arrived anywhere..

tried that and no such luck but oh well, main thing it comes in on friday.

 

[TahoeDust]

Will mine move all at?

Try a different browser. You are probably being boned by Chrome.

Mine is 2lbs. Others have seen 2lbs. for theirs too.

2 lb here as well. I don't think they were actually weighed, I think it was just a placeholder for all the orders.

It does show up in the iCloud.com app, Find my iPhone. However, it will not show the location because it obviously won't be on and activated.

Here's a screen shot of what it shows.

You were marked as a newb (the forum I mean). My apologies Also the phones are off so you would not have a way of tracking it also.

Well glad to know my iphone isnt alone lol. Im sure the plane has landed in louisville, might not have updated the system yet to reflect the arrival. Thats what im telling myself anyway

How are you even getting it in iCloud? You need the phone.

It just showed up, I didn't have to do anything.

Mine is noted as 0.40 kg, which is simply a different unit of measurement.

Maybe his phone became self aware? #judgementday

I find that a little hard to believe. Unless someone magically turned on your phone and set it up. And there is also no way to confirm that even is the iPhone 5. For all we know that's your other iPhone.

My one phone is 2 pounds, it's all in the way they packaged/prepared the shipments I think. Another member told me all the Addison packages are 2 pounds. It might just depend where they're coming from.

Same, Reston VA here.

 

[SCMedic]

Anyone had any luck presigning for delivery? I won't be home Friday. Mine still shows "Preparing for shipment" but I had no trouble finding it on UPS. Just went from TN to KY for some reason.

 

[stevejobbers]

Not sure if this will help anyone else, but I used the process on page 1 specifying a reference number (along with country and zip code), but instead of using the CELL phone number(s) I'm upgrading, I used my HOME BILLING phone number (no spaces or dashes), and lo and behold, the tracking info appeared.
