**AT&T iPhone 4 Order Status Thread**

mra1989 said:
Order a 16GB from the AT&T store on 7/20. Still on backorder and it's growing more and more annoying by the day.

I ordered 16g at the same day (7/20) in Boston. I used the Bank of America debit card then there was a $211.4 on the record. 3 days later, the record disappeared. I went BOA and they said this transaction is just off the screen but not canceled. They were just waiting the " Demand for payment " from ATT. Then ATT person said they will not deduct the money from the account until the order is processed.

My concern is all about the operational risk and don't want my order get cancelled. Otherwise, i got kill myself😡

Don't panic, this is normal procedure. They do that to make sure you have the means to pay, just so they won't waste their time fulfilling your order since you won't have money anyway.


The money was put back to your account, since they just temporarily held on to it. When they ship, that's when they'll really withdraw the money from your bank account for goooooood 😀😀

I can confirm this.

My money was held immediately when I placed my order on Monday and it was just returned to my account today.

I have been checking all day in the hopes that I'll see the backorder status come off. Didn't seem to out of question since others that ordered on Friday got their shipping info Tuesday/Wednesday. Looks like I'll be waiting until next week to get my shiny new 32 giger 🙁

Anyone that has already received their phone or shipping info get it later in the day? I am wondering about what time I should give up the hope that I'll receive it tomorrow 😱
 
Ordered 16GB in store on 7/18. Just came off backorder around 3:15PM eastern!!! Too bad I will be leaving out of town tomorrow morning until Sunday 🙁

Can anyone answer my question? Not that I probably will stop looking anyway 😛
 
att order status

if you ordered through att premier try this to get a more detailed order status then the link they sent you. Google - att order status- click on the first link and follow the instructions.

ANY 7-20 online att premier waiting for a 16gb?????
 
I was wondering... my Apple store has a bunch of iPhone 4s in stock. If I call and cancel my order, can I still get subsidized pricing through the Apple store? Would canceling my order take away the two year agreement that I signed?

I would just wait it out, but I ordered on 7/22, and it's killing me knowing there's a whole bunch of iPhones right down the street from me.
 
Quick question about AT&T Premier Business accounts:

I know that I can't purchase my iPhone 4 through Apple because of my Premier Business account, but what about other 3rd party stores? Best Buy, Walmart, Radio Shack, etc? The AT&T around my current location is absolutely horrible, and would prefer not to deal with them.
 
I placed my order for a 16g on the website midday Friday the 23rd. Didnt have an update until last night when the website finally showed it was placed on the 26th. And its on back order.
 
Unless they take me off backorder in the next 30 minutes I guess it'll be next week 🙂

Has anyone come off BO this late and then got their shipping info? It's 5:30 here on the east coast. My one glimmer of hope is that it's earlier in TX (they ship from there, right?) so it may still get shipped tonight.
 
Well, I'll be on vacation in 3 days. If the 16GB I ordered (on 7/24) is still on BO then, I'll see if it's possible to cancel it and get one as a walk-in somewhere. Don't know if anyone has had success with it though, but I will try.

Seems like the 16gb guys are suffering more. The 32's are going out fast.

The 32ers aren't suffering, they are getting the phones shipped out in a few business days.

If you don't need to order through AT&T then cancel your order and go buy from Apple.

If you don't need to order through AT&T then cancel your order and go buy from Apple.

If you cancel then you will have to wait for your upgrade eligibility to resume, which may take 3 days. I tried the same, but ended up with maintaining my AT&T store order.

That was strange

Thanks for the info!

I think I'll just stick with my AT&T order. I should have it by the end of next week. Patience is a virtue.
