Well that's good news for you then. I'm still holding on to my unlimited Verizon data plan. I just pre-ordered my 6s plus through apple with 18-month interest free financing. There was a $40 upgrade fee though which I thought was weird given that I'm not on contract anymore.
Got a tip for us?

how did you change the quantity? I was able to order just one first, then filled out completely new order for the second one
you can log into your Apple account on the Apple website and edit your order.... but it won't let you edit immediately..... give it a few hours. Maybe a day.
I did 3 separate orders, my first one errored out so I made another one. Apparently the errored one went through.
Counting their billions?? Prepping Tim Cook for his Late Show appearance? (I hope Colbert asks him when the HELL are we gonna get Skylake rMBP's.)
I don't know what the ratio of "New to iPhones vs Been there done that" is here.
.... but just bear in mind that placing your order minutes after it becomes available does NOT mean you will receive your iPhone on the 25th. All kinds of strange things happen with orders.
People that place their orders 2 weeks now, may get theirs before you (sad truth, it happens) . On the 25th people will just walk into an Apple store & while your starring at "item has not shipped yet screen"..... Hopefully that won't happen.... I'll see you the "iPhone Shipping Status" threads in a few weeks.

Same thing for me - keeping my unlimited data and got the note of the $40 upgrade fee in the email confirm. I ordered from Apple after initially trying to go through Verizon and it trying to get me to check out with a 2 gb/month plan. Um, no.
Also most of the phones on apple.com still show a 9/25 delivery date. The only one that is 2-3 weeks now is 6s plus in rose gold 64gb.
Ended up reserving a Space Gray 128GB one for in-store pick up.
Earliest pick up time in Germany is still in the morning hours. I'm surprised it's still possible to pick one up 1h after the pre-orders started.
Anyway, looking forward to my upgrade from iPhone 5. Good luck to everyone here too, may you receive 'em on time.

Question. I used the Apple Store app, along with Apple Pay, to complete my order. The transaction went through, but they used the wrong billing address (they used my Apple Store billing address, not the one saved in my iPhone for Apple Pay). Think I'm OK? I went back to the Apple online store this morning and updated my billing address to the correct one.

Your 100% correct I just like knowing I'm on the list and it will come maybe on the 25th maybe a week or two later.
Correct but as a phone junkie I would be paying it regardless of wether I was using Apple or Google. At least with Apple its only once a year with Google it could be as much as 3 times a year.
Yeah I'm really confused about the upgrade fee from Verizon. They say its a one-time fee. Does that mean a one-time fee until the end of time or does that mean a one-time fee every time you upgrade. Being off-contract, I'm really confused by this.
Edit: From an article posted 30 January 2015 (http://www.whistleout.com/CellPhones/News/verizon-raises-sneaky-activation-fee-to-40-dollars)
But a Verizon spokesperson has confirmed to Phone Scoop that the carrier will be increasing both its activation and upgrade fees to $40, up from $35 and $30 respectively.
Verizon defended the price hike as necessary to help offset the costs associated with activating new devices, and upgrading customers to a newer handset. Exactly how these tasks generate costs is still a mystery, but Verizon maintains that the fees are standard, and required for the company to remain competitive.
The fees will apply to customers purchasing or upgrading to a new device, at a discounted price, on a two-year service contract. But, if you buy your new handset at full retail price – or through Verizon’s Edge early upgrade plan – you won’t pay to activate or upgrade.

I'll be curious to see if it actually gets charged to my Verizon bill or if it was just part of the checkout process on Apple.com

I got charged (or my checkout agreement said I would be charged) 15 dollars per line to buy 3 iPhones for full price from Apple (the "non-committment" price). What sort of AT&T voodoo is this???
Rereading your post I want to make I understand you correctly before counter-posting...
Are you saying you are upgrading every year or every two years?
And also, how much is your smart phone access fee per phone currently?
