Carrier AT&T business premier account pre-order (iPhone 6 Plus) only!

macblitz said:
Based on news in this thread and threads in other forums.

There are plenty of At&t iphone 6 4.7" everywhere. It is the At&t 6 plus that is sold out online at business premier, online nonpremier at&t, local store, etc with ridiculous shipping times for people who order exactly at midnight.

As of now 5pm, my iphone 6+ order status is still pending confirmation.

I think you're correct, even though my shipping date says 9/23 to 10/2, given that my CC has been charged the full amount and the status says "Preparing for Shipment" I think I will be getting my iPhone 6 on Friday.

As a side note, I thought seriously about the 6+, but for me the "pocketability" of the 6 made the decision easy for me.

Does an order from AT&T look fraudulent?

Anything can be considered fraudulent. It's how much you spend during odd hours is what will flag the purchase.

I wish my status would update. Mine still says pending and they deducted the full $749.
 
This is so maddening. AT&T is horrible at this stuff.

I got my order in at 12:40 AM PST after dealing with refreshing and an endless amount of error screens. I would have ordered from Apple if I could got the cart to actually load. On both iPhone and on my Mac it just kept erroring out once I got there.

With AT&T Premier and it says: Shipping Date: 11/09/14 - 11/27/14*

Am I lucky to even get this for a shipping date? Should I cancel? Nobody knows if Apple or AT&T will increase their supplies but I am certain they know the demand is there for the iPhone 6 Plus. I do not yet want to jump the gun and cancel.

The confirmation said (which I did not get till an hour later):

But here is what the latest e-mail says (which did not come in till hours later):

Thank you for your purchase from the Premier Online Store and for choosing AT&T as your wireless service provider.

When I got the iPhone 5 (ordered on 2012-09-14 around 12 AM), this is what the email said:

I got the same, then a call from my CC company seeing if I made 5 similar purchases this morning from ATT. I said no, just one. The ATT send me an email with the WRONG PHONE NUMBER to call (S/B 866 not 888 for premiere) that my CC was declined, well yeah, you charged it for the same amount 5 flippin times but your want to charge it once more :mad:

Look for the Pending Confirmation Email or Call Premiere and get it straight. Not my ship date is after 09/19 :(

Thats nothin!!! I bought 2 devices (128gig 6 Plus & 64gig 6), separate orders, both via the Premier website using the Next program for both. Since I am using the Next program I had to pay tax for each device. Thats about $55 for the 6 Plus and $44 for the 6.

AT&T Premier is so screwed up it charged my debit card the $56 charge 9 TIMES and the $44 charge one time. :mad::mad::mad:

All the while, I got 20 emails (not exaggerating) saying both orders were cancelled and I should call Premier if I felt the cancellation was an error.

After 45mins of holding to speak with a Premier CSR early this morning they said neither order was cancelled and they will be crediting back the additional charges within 24 hours.

For me, ordering on the Premier website was easy, but the extra charges sucked!!! AT&T really does suck!

Mine just got updated to shipment between sept 23 and oct 2nd. I guess thats not too bad. Maybe ill get lucky and it will bump up
 
Preordered a iphone 6 64 GB Gold at 00:45 PST but later cancelled it today, around 13:00 PST (would've arrived 9/19, though I made a last minute decision to choose the Space Grey over the Gold color scheme).

Preordered again an iPhone 6 64GB Space Grey but it said that the estimated delivery would be around 21-35 days, so I was like **** that and cancelled that as well.

I ordered from the Apple website the same version (iPhone 6 64GB Space Grey) at around 14:30 PST and the delivery date will be 9/19!
ROFL what's going on AT&T? How come I can get my iPhone easily on the Apple website and not yours?

I live in California.
 
Gee,could it be Apple has more stock.

You know what causes stocking issues? This many canceled orders. Jeez people are impatient.

Let them cancel... if it means I get mine from AT&T sooner :)

But I know this whole thing is probably a nightmare for everyone at AT&T. And I'm sure they are getting some very angry calls about the shipping dates.

I don't know. They charged me for both of mine, but one of my phones is showing a shipping date of 10/31 - 11/11. I don't think they'd state the date is <i>that</i> far away if they were just being cautious.

When the order page and email says you'll get it on one day, and then the actual status says it will be 2-3 weeks later, one might be inclined to cancel and order from somewhere more reliable. It's not so much about impatience as not knowing what to expect
 
No offense to anyone here, but that really makes me mad that people will be getting their phone before me. I ordered at 1:57(central, so 11:57 PST) and I got the email at 9am saying 35-42 days!! This is the exact opposite of first come first served.... iPhone 6 plus space grey 128gb, by the way..

The answer is "I don't know what you want me to do, you can cancel" Then they still don't get it in time and somebody else fills their place. So people need to chill it hasn't even been 24hrs and I'm sure its impossible to figure out stock as of now and once the dust settles they will have a better idea. It seems like the 6+ was going to be a known shortage so rather then push people back they will push forward since even my order at 256am EST has a date of 10/13-10/22.
Thats what I think anyway...
 
Pre-ordered a 6+ 64GB at 2:08am CST this morning and received a confirmation email and auth charge on my credit card at 11am. At 1pm I received another email saying my order was cancelled with absolutely no reason as to why.

Several calls to ATT this afternoon - all ending with being hung up on. At this point I've pretty much given up on that order. Placed an order with apple and I'll probably have to wait a month.
 
I don't understand how people can cancel their order with AT&T business premier and order from Apple. If your phone(s) are on a business account, Apple kicks you out when you try to upgrade.


This is what I get on Apple's site:

"We're sorry. The AT&T account you have is a business account. Please contact your company's telecom manager or AT&T account manager to complete your iPhone purchase."
