AT&T iPhone 4S Pre-Order Status Thread

Excited

I will be getting my white 16gb iPhone 4s a day early! Tracking number wouldn't work so I called fed ex. If your track number won't work call them. She told me my package will be here tomorrow between 8am and 3pm. So happy!! I get my phone a day early. Staying up til 1am on the 7th was the best idea ever!! Gonna be talking to Siri in about 24 hours!!!

im hoping that sometimes tonight, ours will go from backordered: 1 to 0, and then we will get shipping info tomorrow, and receive ours on launch.

everyone else that received their shipping maybe will get theirs the day before launch, or the day of like us. HOPEFULLY. :(

This happened last year with the iPhone 4. I had already received the phone before I actually received the tracking. I was hoping this time around would be different.

Why are u still confused?...You ordered AFTER 5PM. Your status is EXACTLY correct. Out of all the rediculous information that's been given out by At&t CSR's, the only statement that has remained consistant was "if you ordered BEFORE 5pm on Friday 10/7, you should get your phone on Friday. And If you ordered AFTER 5pm, you simply go into backordered Hell".

It really sucks, I know. You were Sooo close. A lesson learned for next years release.

actually if you have been following the thread, the times differ from 4:00pm to 5:30 pm EST..

and lets not forget about the people who've ordered 4:30PM CST and have already receive their shipping info..

Once again, please stay out of this thread, for the sake of those who've requested you stay out. Please and thank you.

Looks like it is the original order date/time that matters and not the updates or changes after that point. At least that's what they told me when I had similar problems. Hope they're right. :)
 
anyone who ordered a 64gb white see tracking info yet? called att and got same story others have gotten orders will not ship till 14th and 3-5 day shipping... they are useless

Wow this got me to post for the first time since 2004. :eek:

Just hope maybe this info helps someone who was in a similar situation that may be pacing the floor!!!

I got my ATT order confirmation (16GB white 4S, NOT premiere) at 4:34AM, 10/07. However, at 7:31AM I received an email that my order needed further attention. I called immediately and apparently my credit card was rejected because an early payment had not posted yet. Unfortunately the payment would not post until midnight on the 8th, so I had to wait until Saturday at 8:00am ET to call ATT back to get the payment info updated. Later they put the full amt on hold where it has been ever since and my order seemed to be getting processed but I was still dubious I'd get it on Friday because of the delay in getting my payment info updated.

I called the automated number someone so kindly posted here and it said my order was in the warehouse awaiting shipment! I thought it must be some kind of fluke but amazingly enough, my order now says SHIPPED with a fedex tracking number! It's not showing up in the system yet and I've not received an email or notification but it looks like it's going to be fine, despite the fact I couldn't process the payment info til Saturday morning and my order date says 10/08! (On the order page there is still the old order on the 7th that didn't get processed due to the payment problem but I didn't include that for the sake of image size.)

Hope anyone else in a similar position sees this and can feel better there is still a good shot they'll see their phone this week!

Thanks for the update. I am in a similar boat needing to verify my ID but mine still shows backordered. If I get mine next week sometime I will still be happy but if it really ends up being another month I will get a bit pissy :cool:
 
Got my Tracking #

Status: Shipped

Got my tracking number for UPS but it doesn't show up on their site yet.
 
Delivery tommorow!!! Yay!

called fed ex, based on my tracking number its scheduled to deliver tommorrow baby
 
I am premier customer who had to order on the att website. my order went through after trying over and over again finally around 4:45 am est .on the 7th.
my premier site hasnt been updated yet but the regular att site under my orders now shows it shipped on the 10th? and the regular site has the fed ex tracking number, but of course the number wont pull up in fed ex's system yet.:rolleyes:

at least they remembered to get a phone ready for me. if I could have ordered from apple I would have .
att 's customer service is HORRIBLE IMO.
 
Mine finally changed from back ordered to in progress :S ordered before 5 am est because I gave up trying to get in a order in at 12
 
3 of my 4 lines are Shipped with FedEx tracking info (not yet in the system though).

my fourth line is SHIPMENT STATUS: Processing still, but it also now says:
Carrier IPHONE-UPS Shipping Date 10/11/2011

So I'm sure they'll all be here Friday - odd that my 4th line is shipping via a different carrier.

I got my confirmation at 5:24 am on 10/7 and my phone has not shipped so apparently time has NOTHING to do with this.

Same here! Wanna imessage?!haha. I'm glad those of us who were dedicated got it a day early. I waiting til the system stopped being stupid and ordered at 12:51 am pst.
 
I ordered mine through AT&T on the phone at about 4:30 pm EST on Oct 7th.

They originially told me I would not get for 14-21 days. While I was on the phone the girl actually told me that they just received an e-mail telling them that any more orders processed from this time on would fall into that time frame.

My order was changed out of preorder to processing Monday morning.

This morning I woke up and now it has been marked as shipped (10/10/11) with tracking numbers through Fedex. Just like everybody else, my tracking number is not working.

I spoke to the online agent and he informed me that my phone will be shipped to be on 10/14/11.

Kind of crazy how people who preordered as early as possible still havent heard anything and I preordered mine late in the afternoon and its been shipped already.

Hope this helps anybody who has a similar order as me!
 
Making some progress...

Just called Fedex, and according to the very helpful rep, not only is there nothing incoming for my address on Fedex ground or Fedex Express, but the tracking number AT&T gave me isn't even a valid format for a fedex tracking number. Freaking great.
