Apple Stores start taking reservations at 8AM, your time. So get on that computer and pick the model you want, sign in, and refresh like crazy until your local store shows up, and reserve one if you can. That's the only way I got mine yesterday, AT&T let me down and I ordered mine 2 min after preorders began! We had to drive an hour to get there, but for my sanity it was the best thing to do. Lol! I was waking up like every 2 hours to check my email like a crazy woman.

I was at AT&T last night after I had been to Apple and the AT&T reps were all over my RGD 6s+ like flies because they had not even laid their eyes on one yet! They said they had not gotten any + models in at all.

I tried that. Reserved my spot at Apple yesterday, 26 Sep at 1300. They had the same phone in stock that I ordered. So, I show up, try to cancel my order and after sitting on the phone for 30 minutes, WITH the patient Apple sales guy next to me, the AT&T rep said I couldn't cancel. "Could I buy the phone for $899 and then send the ordered phone back?" "Yes, of course, but you can't activate it until your phone comes in".

What's that crap? I think she was mistaken, but the rep didn't seem to be too knowledgeable anyway.

I purchased mine on the Premier plan, going to try and get my activation fee waived and the $49 IPad Mini as well. I doubt I'll get anything more than, "we're sorry, thank you for your continued business (sucker!)".

I don't think I can because I have a 2yr contract :confused:
 
Are your Apple stores carrying the phones you want? None of the ones near me have ever had the 6s+rg 64gb in. I'd go there in a heartbeat if that was the case!
I am thinking if people that ordered even before pre ordering went live haven't gotten theirs, I'm really screwed. Mine didn't go through until 7:38 am pst.

Wait how do you know it had your phone?

Would love to be able to figure out when mine ships from the factory to America

Right now I have a date of October 23 - 30 for a 64gb silver att 6s plus

Really hoping it doesn't take that long

The FedEx tracking showed departed at 4:17 PM. Only one plane was in the air to San Diego from Mempis and that was FexEx 906. About 5 minutes after the plane landed the tracking information updated that it was at the sort facility in San Diego!

how can I tell what phones they have? do I call?

There's no way to tell for sure. It's a matter of matching up your tracking info with the FedEx fleet info on FlightAware. Even then it's just an educated guess.

i found a place on apples website where you can reserve the exact phone you want and pick it up later. of course they didn't have mine. but he said it updates everyday. i don't care at this point i'll pay apples upgrade plan i'm so irritated with AT&T

Anyone else not able to activate their phone? I've never had a problem before with ATT....I've tried plugging it into itunes and then went to the website and entered the #s and it said "those numbers weren't found" .... im starting to lose my patience

I should add that I can't even make a call, even on wifi, so 611 isnt working

I received an email with a link to activate. Oh, if you chat with a rep, they will also provide the link for you. That's what I did.

Yes, I've been checking their site for mine too. (its never been there unfortunately)but I keep checking!!
 
Couple of things. Premier plan is correct, either a business or some other "discount" applied.
You can go to Apple's website and attempt to reserve the phone you'd like for in an store purchase. When I reserved yesterday, they had three phones of the one I ordered.
No shipping email from AT&T for me. The rep I talked to on the phone said, "definitely 16-23 Oct, I wouldn't expect it earlier". As nice as she was on the phone, I'm really hoping she is wrong.
 
Well my 6s+ 64gb rose gold just shipped and will be here Tuesday. I ordered at 2:52am, but at this point that doesn't matter because the shipping is so random.
