For people trying to figure out order number logic, when I check my order on the MyATT app it formats my order number like this "289_4-9_109_###_###" (_ are spaces). FWIW. That's the non-premier order number that's formatted like "2894-9109######" on the website.
 
So I just called the AT&T Premier CS, and when I go to check my order status it says that my preorder is processing and it'll be done in one business day. I mean that is in line with what everyone is saying that everything will clear up closer to launch. I have never been given a solid date for the shipping of my date, its always just said pending confirmation.

Man, wish I could get an update like this. I would call but afraid I would get no where. I'm not a premier customer and it seems that these are the people that are getting the answers they want to hear. Not sure if true but still.
 
Let's compare this if you don't mind. I'm premiere but my art order number is 1114 after the hyphen. I had to cancel my apple order and order from att at 3:00 pm. So why are our numbers the same? My shipping date is 11/27

Not to mention, keep an eye for your ship date to change. Our current date is in no way indicative of our current date as even my date has changed 2x yet the number has stayed the same.

To go even further - it could be that you and I for example, need to go a digit further. As I've said before all I know is it isn't the first four :p

I'm going to assume your premiere or whatever it is?

----------

That's the exact same phone I ordered! My order time was 1:56 central time, 49 minutes before you. I still don't have any updates. Grrrr.

Yea fcfs my white pimply butt
 
Cust service chat

:confused:I am now convinced that chat operators have no idea what's going on (or just enjoy messing w/ customers). Following is a transcript of my chat w/ ATT, held earlier today:

Thank you for your patience! Your AT&T Representative will be with you shortly.
info: at 13:48:26
Welcome! You are now chatting with 'Susan'
thomas: at 13:49:12
Hi, I was hoping that you could answer a question or two about my order?
Susan: at 13:49:13
Hello, thank you for chatting with AT&T today. I see that you have a question regarding the details of an order. Is that correct?
Susan: at 13:49:49
I will be happy to help you with that.
thomas: at 13:50:10
yes.  I preordered the iphone 6+ a few minutes before 12 AM (the website let me on just before 12 PST)
Susan: at 13:50:53
Ok Mr. *******, lets start by giving me your Web Order Number.
thomas: at 13:51:06
I was of the understanding that the iphone 6+ would be available for customers on the 19th, but it looks like they won't be shipped until October.  I was wondering if you knew which date was wrong
thomas: at 13:51:45
web order number is ***************
Susan: at 13:53:02
I am in the Order Status chat group so I’m a bit limited as to what I can assist with. We do however have another chat group that can assist with your particular request. Would you like to be transferred via chat, or would you like their phone number?

Sonny A.: at 14:10:00
There's nothing wrong with the both date.

"the both date?" I'm not sure what you mean.
Sonny A.: at 14:12:45
I will be right with you.
Sonny A.: at 14:12:54
The 19th means it will be available for pre-ordering . And yes it will not shipped until october because the apple said that the shipping will be on the month of november
Sonny A.: at 14:13:22
To be accurate , the shipping date will be on 10th on november until november 27th
Sonny A.: at 14:13:49
Because it has 40 business days that must be done.
thomas: at 14:14:25
Ok -- so there are no iphone 6+ available until november, despite the 9/19 release date, correct?
Sonny A.: at 14:16:37
Yes there is but it's about the shipping days
thomas: at 14:17:18
?? Again, not sure I understand. It's going to take 40 days to get to Pennsylvania from China?
Sonny A.: at 14:18:46
Sorry for the information I gave you about the 40 days.
Sonny A.: at 14:19:08
On the 19th , the Iphone 6 will be available
thomas: at 14:19:18
Thanks. I'm just quite confused.
Sonny A.: at 14:19:34
We still have not heard from you. Due to business needs I will only be able to wait for two more minutes. Do you wish to continue the chat?

Cross post from the other AT&T thread:

It looks like folks are getting tracking numbers without the shipping estimate dates being updated, so that means those estimates are worthless. I created a new form to help track when phones are being shipped to help estimate when other phones will be shipped.

If you have a tracking number, either from AT&T or from UPS/Fedex, please fill out this form:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/18ejcw5yNz4_QDdus9p0qiLZnNcT8vCNjLN0osCoM_tw/viewform

Results of the survey will be available here:

Thanks, everyone!

No thank you for putting this data together!
 
I talked to another rep just to see if she gave the same answer as the first, and she told me basically all she can see is what's on the computer and if I wanted more info I would have to call.

Wow if that is for real than that is pretty scary
 
My order # starts with 1012. What is the significance of the order number?

Wrong numbers - numbers post hyphen!

(Wonders how many times I'll have to repeat this)

In other news, does anyone use uverse? How annoying is it when they do that damn test monthly or weekly or god knows how often and they insist on blaring it like the most annoying and loud sound you have ever heard. Ever. Each time it happens my remote is always Mia without fail. Gah.

----------

I just added a new line as an authorize user, and my wife is the primary on our account.

In person?

----------

I totally agree. I think the shipping dates are accurate. I hoped and prayed during the iPhone 5 release. But the dates they gave me were correct and I got my 5 about 4 weeks after other people picked theirs up at AT&T in release day.

AT&T would rather sell the phones they have in stock at theirs stores on opening day.

What blows my mind /blown is that your still saying this after several now have a date of the 19th even while their date on their site sAys something craZy. Hang it up. Wroooooooong bet this time.

Thank you for patiently waiting Mr. Thomas
Sonny A.: at 14:09:37
Based upon my gathered resources,
Sonny A.: at 14:10:00
There's nothing wrong with the both date.
thomas: at 14:10:45
"the both date?" I'm not sure what you mean.
Sonny A.: at 14:12:45
I will be right with you.
Sonny A.: at 14:12:54
The 19th means it will be available for pre-ordering . And yes it will not shipped until october because the apple said that the shipping will be on the month of november
Sonny A.: at 14:13:22
To be accurate , the shipping date will be on 10th on november until november 27th
Sonny A.: at 14:13:49
Because it has 40 business days that must be done.
thomas: at 14:14:25
Ok -- so there are no iphone 6+ available until november, despite the 9/19 release date, correct?
Sonny A.: at 14:16:37
Yes there is but it's about the shipping days
thomas: at 14:17:18
?? Again, not sure I understand. It's going to take 40 days to get to Pennsylvania from China?
Sonny A.: at 14:18:46
Sorry for the information I gave you about the 40 days.
Sonny A.: at 14:19:08
On the 19th , the Iphone 6 will be available
thomas: at 14:19:18
Thanks. I'm just quite confused.
Sonny A.: at 14:19:34
We still have not heard from you. Due to business needs I will only be able to wait for two more minutes. Do you wish to continue the chat?
thomas: at 14:19:42
yes
Sonny A.: at 14:19:42
Sorry for the information
Sonny A.: at 14:19:47
Please disregard.
Sonny A.: at 14:19:50
Ok.
Sonny A.: at 14:20:00
And then it depends on the shipping days

I lol'd after reading this. This definitely sounds like they're just screwing with us, at least in this message.

I may try and call them when I get off work today, but I'm not crossing my fingers that anything will come of it. When I chatted online with a rep, they said that my 10/2-10/13 order will **** in "14-21 business days". Why would they calculate "business days" as the number of days in a week (multiples of 7). Anyway, I guess I just want to hear a rep say my order will be here on Friday....
 
Yep. I went down to the AT&T store and they said their batch of phones was separate from the preorders.

So think about it...AT&T hypothetically says there are X number of 6+ phones, and 50% go to the preorders, and 50% go to the stores. Then Apple says, sorry, there aren't enough 6+'s to give out, we're cutting your expected number by a lot. Do you think AT&T will cut the stores number in half? No! The stores will still get what they were expecting, and the preorders will be left in the dark. They've already got the preorders hooked, so they want some walk in customers and they want them buying accessories.

Online folks don't buy accessories? I got a sweet otter box case coming personally :p

Perfect!

They should never have a need to ask you for your password to access your account. I'd changed it.
 
I just had a chat with "marissa" from AT&T. Almost verbatim she told me the same thing as another poster on here:

just chatted up with ATT and here is what they said, so I hope this is right.

My only question is that the agents aren't verifying much information when they give better than expected ship times.

Not saying we won't get our devices on the 19th - but I would think they would need to verify more information with the folks chatting with them before telling them their device would arrive on the 19th.

Seems odd.
 
I ordered a silver 128GB 6 + and received a confirmation email at 2:04 AM CST and the first four digits of my order are 1012. My shipping date still shows (just checked) 10/13 - 10/22.

Nein. Because those numbers don't even signify anything. Wrong numbers :p
 
How can AT&T support reps have NO idea whats going on as of 3 days prior to launch. That's insane.

Because AT&T the company doesn't know what's going on. They are probably waiting on info from Apple.

If I were anyone here, I wouldn't waste time contacting them. They have the same information as on your order status screen....anything else is guesstimating or potentially misinformation.

Only two sources have proven reliable so far on pre-orders: UPS My Choice and Fedex Delivery Manager

Anything else you're taking your chances. Trust but verify.
 
Well they the taxes I paid for NEXT were pending in my account but then disappeared figured it went through but can't find it anywhere. Called ATT to find out if my order is still good, they said yes and won't charge my tax until it's shipped to me with my 10/31-11/11 ship date :( kinda makes me sad

What will make me sad is when I start seeing people who ordered after me get their tracking.
 
all they really need to say is "hey we have not received our 6 plus shipment yet, we will have a better estimate in a few hours/days/weeks"

You can't get a straight answer from them, they flip flop.
 
For people trying to figure out order number logic, when I check my order on the MyATT app it formats my order number like this "289_4-9_109_###_###" (_ are spaces). FWIW. That's the non-premier order number that's formatted like "2894-9109######" on the website.

So your 9109
 
I know I ordered later in the day as well. Not as late as you though :p. Reasonable to think we would be part of the same batch then. Even on a per store level, batches can be thousands of phones. Not to mention the vast vast majority of pre orders were the first hour or two. After that it appeAred to drop off by as much as 400%

Until someone in the know speaks up - or finds it in one of the (silly) simultaneous threads we have going on here, I can only speculate.
I was having to use the pay to upgrade option and I couldn't get through art at midnight. So I ordered on a different line from apple and was going to return my phone to att and pay it off and return it. Apparently I didn't know that I can't return it if I don't order my phone through them and order another.
Needless to say I wasn't paying for two next contracts so it took me like four hours to get to the apple site to cancel before I could order through att. Sucks I'd really like my phone to come before the end of November :(
IPhone 6 plus 64g silver
 
:confused:I am now convinced that chat operators have no idea what's going on (or just enjoy messing w/ customers). Following is a transcript of my chat w/ ATT, held earlier today:

Thank you for your patience! Your AT&T Representative will be with you shortly.
info: at 13:48:26
Welcome! You are now chatting with 'Susan'
thomas: at 13:49:12
Hi, I was hoping that you could answer a question or two about my order?
Susan: at 13:49:13
Hello, thank you for chatting with AT&T today. I see that you have a question regarding the details of an order. Is that correct?
Susan: at 13:49:49
I will be happy to help you with that.
thomas: at 13:50:10
yes.  I preordered the iphone 6+ a few minutes before 12 AM (the website let me on just before 12 PST)
Susan: at 13:50:53
Ok Mr. *******, lets start by giving me your Web Order Number.
thomas: at 13:51:06
I was of the understanding that the iphone 6+ would be available for customers on the 19th, but it looks like they won't be shipped until October.  I was wondering if you knew which date was wrong
thomas: at 13:51:45
web order number is ***************
Susan: at 13:53:02
I am in the Order Status chat group so I’m a bit limited as to what I can assist with. We do however have another chat group that can assist with your particular request. Would you like to be transferred via chat, or would you like their phone number?
thomas howell: at 13:53:26
Chat is fine.  Thanks much.

I knew a susan. The sex was awesome! Monogomy will slowly kill us all. It's a feminist conspiracy to take over the woooooooooorld!
 
Not to mention, keep an eye for your ship date to change. Our current date is in no way indicative of our current date as even my date has changed 2x yet the number has stayed the same.

To go even further - it could be that you and I for example, need to go a digit further. As I've said before all I know is it isn't the first four :p

I'm going to assume your premiere or whatever it is?
