AT&T iPhone 4S Pre-Order Status Thread

Last Update:
The items in your order are not in stock. We have placed an order, and your estimated shipment date is as indicated. For more information on your order, please call us at 1-866-391-0749

Mine said that up until a couple of hours ago. Now it says:

Last Update:
Your order is being processed. Thank you for your recent purchase. Please contact us for questions about your order.

When I spoke with a CSR, they assured me that shipments, e-mails, and updates are ongoing, so just because your status hasn't updated yet doesn't mean it won't update later today. Of course that doesn't mean it *will* update either, unfortunately.

There's always been hope. Mine just departed Fort Worth at 3 PM and is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow.

Still cant get tracking info from UPS or Packagemap but it shows it was shipped the 12th

Almost here!

I've been lurking for the last 100 pages or so.

This is a good question to be asking. I ordered mine, in-store, at 12:15 CDT on 10-7 and I have no info except the backorder indication and "Pending Shipment". No e-mails, texts or anything else.

OKAY guys i need to confirm this.

Has anyone pre-ordered IN-STORE (either called them, or visted a store), and received tracking, or their orders are no longer in "backorder" status?

this can either mean that the iphones are STILL coming on the 14th and through some fault the status order isn't getting updated...

Or

In-store pre-orders on the 7th before cutoff are getting shafted, and taking the backseat.

Yups, you, PerplexShyt, fotofan and I are all in the same boat.

I ordered in store on the 7th @ 930a est. I received all my emails, tracking, and its scheduled to deliver tomorrow morning before 1100a according to Fedex.

Forgot to add, they told me the same story that it may be 2-3 weeks. But the rep I've always worked with promised me it would be here on the 14th.

Yups, you, PerplexShyt, fotofan and I are all in the same boat.

Same here.

Ordered a black 64GB in store on the 7th at around 4pm central. Got a confirmation email but nothing else. Still listed as backordered online.

 

[Geckotek]

While we all r waiting for our iPHone 4S to show up tomorrow...

let's look at our new friend SIRI..and what she can do...

Can you use /TIMG or break these up so they don't make the window so wide?

Mine left DFW...presumably headed to a local disto center.

[Gus]

Maybe I should have added that my order was for a 32GB Black phone.

Count me in too. Ordered in store at 9:45am (3:45pm est). No updates whatsoever and still showing qty backordered.

Is there a possibility of changing it so I can pick it up in store? This is my first preorder, so apologies if this is a stupid question.

 

[Geckotek]

Ask Siri when you get your new 4s -

Hahahaha, good answer.

Just got a call from the local AT&T store rep; "Apple only shipped 20% if the 64GB iPhones they expected, and this store will be getting Zero tomorrow."

There is still a chance I/we will get the preorders, but very few will be available for instore pickup tomorrow.

Ordered two phones but only one on ATT's order page

Orders a 32GB for me and a 16GB for my daughter (she's coming over from Verizon). ATT's page shows my phone the 32GB but not hers. They did it in 2 orders and only one order number shows up. Called ATT and the rep gave me the dreaded ***BACKORDERED*** mantra. I know mine will come tomorrow but not so sure about hers, and it makes me feel like a heel. She's been waiting for so long with a defective phone, I hate to tell her she may need to wait.

Think there's any chance it could still come and the updates just are lagging behind?

And b4 you say it, she doesn't need the 32GB. She has basic needs.

 

[fotofan]

If I'm right, and i'm pretty sure I am now

Then anyone who pre-ordered in store and doesn't get there phone tomorrow should be down at the local store raising a stink in a loud voice so everyone knows how unscrupulous these mangers are in putting pre-orders on back order and selling their allotment to walk-ins tomorrow over us. And if AT&T leaves it up to the local manager's to decide that policy and what speil to give the pre-order saps that they back ordered, well, ******* AT&T too. I had decided to stay with AT&T instead of switching to Verizon in spite of the dropped call problem. Now I can say this will be my last AT&T phone contract if I got back ordered so they could sell more phones at their store, as I very strongly suspect.

 

[Xer0dIn]

same here.

One of the guys I work with ordered one about one hour after I did from the ATT web site. He's already got tracking info. Crazy...

 

[Eager Beaver]

I just talked with the AT&T Small Business department and they informed me that they have no record of my order.

So how did that make you feel when they said that to you?
Peed I bet. What the heck is wrong with att? They should have this straight since last year!

Looks like No Soup for You ryanmcv, (thank att for me too if you talk to them) -

 

[shad2fast4u]

I am in the same boat as some of

Ordered the 7th, 10am (eastern time) 16gb iphone 4s

only received one email that day and thats it

still showing processing, pending, qty ordered and backordered.

Spoke to my salesman a couple hours ago and he said why it isnt updating. I should receive my phone by 2morrow because I was one of the first pre-orders of that store. He even said how he feels really bad because he knew i wanted it early and he promised me

 

[fotofan]

Uffish

If my theory is correct, then we won't ever know if they are just telling us a line of BS while they maximize their in store sales. Can you spell UNSCRUPULOUS AT&T?

Time for a stressful chuckle

So I got my fed ex tracking number yesterday morning. I have spent the entire day yesterday and today tracking the number with absolutely no updates.

Panic set in at 4est today, so call fed ex and use the automated person and give the tracking number. Auto lady says no can find that number. She says it three times after 3 attempts. I am transferred to a real live lady who says that's an odd number you are using!!!

Duh and double duh, guess who was using the WEB ORDER number for two days instead of tracking number. Would you believe the phone I
Will be here by 3 tomorrow.

The imagined stress of anticipation and using the wrong number, did make me chuckle just a bit as how hyper we have all become in wanting our phones.

Just wanted to share.

Hmm, I've just excepted the fact mine might not come tomorrow. Although it sounds like you are about 1 step from marching with the Hippies in the Occupy movement. Don't let the anger over take you! The Dark side is dangerous!

Anyone else passing the time by flirting with Charlie, the virtual expert? I wonder if anyone reads those chat logs.
