AT&T iPhone 4S Pre-Order Status Thread

I am starting to think that there is a shortage (or high demand) for White 32GB 4s? I ordered mine 5AM PST from ATT. Still no sign of it shipping? :confused:

Bummer

A few people earlier were talking about the strange fedex tracking #'s that started with 5, then some revealed more: 502, now a couple posts back I saw someone's number that was 5023xxxxxxxx
mine is 502321xxxxxx
I thought I saw someone else say they called fedex and they said that their number was part of a bulk order and that we'd get new numbers later this afternoon. I was just checking to see if anyone else's number followed this same pattern... to confirm fedex's story....
(I just want to stop hoping the fedex site will update, and get a REAL tracking #)

Just got a text from AT&T:

"AT&T Free Msg: Your order has shipped. For further details, please visit: www.att.com/orderstatus ."

Knew this already, but nice of them to send it to me.

That means they scanned it and fedex has possession of it.

Ordered in-store as well. Still backordered. I'm hoping they simply haven't starting processing the store orders yet.

Yea i dont think anyone that ordered in store on Friday has received shipping confirmation yet. Im guessing the same thing, they are processing instore orders later, i just hope they dont run out of units before my number comes up in their system.

maybe someone can help me out here. here are what my multiple (thanks at&t, for keeping it simple) screens look like.

note that the premier orders show a date of 10/7/11, yet my account screen shows 10/10/11.

do i have reason to call them and go ape@%#$?

same situation I'm in right now and I am having it out with the ATT Rep. She said i'd get it in 21-28 days and that the only way to cancel my order is to refuse the delivery....in a month. :mad:
 
Wow. AT&T must really want me to know about my order. I got one confirmation email, four "your order is processing" emails over the course of 2 days, then today I got my "your order has shipped" email, and just now I got a "your order has shipped" text.

no. it'll come. calm down :-0
 
What does AT&T "Shipping Order Number" mean?

I per-ordered on 10/7 at 7:45 am PST. I got my T&C emails on 10/10, and just yesterday on 10/11 I was able to see the order status on the AT&T website as backordered. I also got an email from AT&T with a "Shipping Order Number". Does anybody know what this means? I still see backordered and not shipped on the AT&T status page, but what does the Shipping Order Number tell me?

That's weird. I only ever got one email confirming my order. I've had to periodically (such a conservative term) check my order status to see what's going on. Says it was shipped on 10/9/11 through fedex and I have a tracking number that doesn't work.

No, don't worry that these dates don't match. What's important is what time you placed your order, before or after 5:30 PM EST?

I was thinking about the cases today too. Everyone was complaining that there was not a complete redesign on this iPhone.. Does it really matter since you slap a case around it and can't see the design anyway?

IMHO ottercases are ugly but they seem do seem be like an ironclad armor. Haven't had one, but I would get one for sure if I'd work construction or the like..
In general I do not agree with hiding iDevice behind a case, and apparently Steve Jobs didn't either, as he was appalled when he saw the way a journalist was carrying his iPod (as per the report of the journalist for Wired if I remember correctly).

Keeping the same exterior design for 4S though means that all of the 4 accessories match. No headache for the accessory makers and no wonder that the iPhone and the iDevices are the easiest to accessorize and to find accessories for, more so for a phone that hasn't been released yet basically.

The bumpers seem to be nice compromise, as they minimally protect the glass by the raised edges and they don't completely cover the beauty of the device. Having a case though can give overconfidence and causing one to be more careless with the phone than without a case.

Can't get through on the phone, but here is the live chat I just had- no information per ususal.

you: Hello Margaret,

Margaret Moss: I will be happy to assist you with your order.

you: I cannot access my order status on any of your order status sites, or on my account url.

Margaret Moss: For security purposes, can you please provide the last four digits of the Social Security number on the account?

you:
Margaret Moss: Thank you.

Margaret Moss: I have pulled up an order from 10/7/11, is this the correct date?

you: yes

Margaret Moss: I understand that you are not able to view the status of the order online. I see that the order is still processing.

you: Do you have any idea of a shipping date. I did order it around 9AM on 10/7/11

Margaret Moss: The orders placed before 5:30 PM ET on 10/7/11 are set to be shipped today. We are still processing the orders, this means that your device could still be mailed out today if it was ordered before 5:30 PM ET.

Margaret Moss: Once the order is ready for shipment you will receive a confirmation email with the tracking information.

you: It was ordered before 5:30 PM, early that morning, but My acceptance email is date 10/7/11 at 9:56 PM

Margaret Moss: I understand. If you do not receive a confirmation email for the shipment of the device in the next 24-48 hours, you may not receive the device for 21-28 days. I am very sorry.

you: Are phone orders delayed and if so why?

Margaret Moss: If you placed your order before 5:30 PM ET on 10/7/11 you will receive the order by 10/14/11. If you placed the order after 5:30 PM ET it make take 21-28 business days to receive the phone. Due to the high volume of orders some orders could not be processed until 10/8/11.

you: Since I placed my order on the phone before 5:30 PM, is that considered the time I placed the order even though I didn't receive my confirmation until 9:56 PM?

Margaret Moss: I am very sorry for an inconveniences.

you: That doesn't answer my question

Margaret Moss: I cannot verify when your order will be shipped. I know that we are working hard at processing all the orders from 10/7/11 and preparing them for shipment.


you: Thank you.

Margaret Moss: You are very welcome. I am very sorry.

Margaret Moss: Is there anything else I can assist you with today?

you: no.

The time on the email means absolutely nothing. More then likely their email servers were backed up all day.

Why wouldn't you slap a case around that phone? Yes it's beautiful but it's also not so beautiful if you drop it and your screen is cracked in pieces.

I personally find that most people who dont put cases on their iphones dont do so because they simply want to show off or want people to know they have an iphone.

I orderded a case with my 4S and that will be the first thing, along with my screen cover that will be put on with my iphone......even before I activated it lol
