How many folks will not be ordering through AT&T next year?

I'm going to have to be honest and say it depends on the plans. I just can't justify spending the extra $40/month it would cost me to leave my grandfathered plan. :(

Of course if they kill those plans between now and then, I'll be ordering through Apple for sure.

The problem is the pathetic AT&T customer service. My phone has no tracking and they still could not cancel it so I could pick one up at the local Apple store. I ended up talking to a guy from Premier customer service and he apologized numerous times for the system. Very bad when you cannot cancel an order that has no shipping info.
 
I guess Monday and Tuesday are out for me. fingers crossed for Wednesday....BULL$#!+
 
I just got an email thanking me for my order and giving me a link for activation... Still no tracking though. Order still says in progress.
3:18am
64GB rose gold

I was so excited... Hopefully this means something though...

i got the same email at the same time (2:04pm ET). i got excited, but i don't think it means anything =(
 
Someone has a theory that they were shipping the further regions first then closer ones. My situation supports that because I live in Texas(about 4.5 hours from Fort Worth) and that's where I'm seeing lots of packages come out of.
 
Yeah that's what I thought. I'm in CO, which I wouldn't think is that far from Texas but I haven't received anything so who knows

Got that weird activation email too. Didn't see the entire title of the email on my Apple watch and got so excited! Ran away from my patients to hide in the bathroom and check my email. What a let down. Lol
 
I have premier ....
This may be a stupid question. What is premier?

I have been with AT&T since 2006 (When it was Cingular, remember that company that Steve Jobs said would be the exclusive US carrier for the first iPhone?) but I don't think I have a "premier account")

I don't really know what it is either to be honest lol all I think I know is that it's business related

I will not be waking up at 3:00 am to order from AT&T (since it did not matter this year)

If AT&T ever forces unlimited data people like me off those plans, I am gone. I will probably go with Apple's upgrade program next time (I am sure the bugs will be worked out by 2017)

it's nothing special. just means we have discounts on our phone plans through our companies so at&t calls us "premier" customers

i've been with at&t since they were cingular too.. my first smart phone was a palm treo, lol

if you have a phone through a company or the government
I have one as I get my phone through work

Actually, your account will usually say "FAN" in the title. Also, you do not have to get your phone from a corporation or government. AT&T gives you the discount on your privately owned phone if your org has a deal with them. It's like a little employee benefit, that is, if they actually ship the bleeping phone.
