Thank baby jesus!
Just called the 877# and it says your order is being processed!! I thought I was dreaming! I was so tired of hearing Backordered!
It does say 'your order is being Processed with an estimated ship date of 10/13....' But I should expect it very soon correct?

I wouldn't call it a myth, it's just a misconception of what being a Premier customer means. Being a Premier customs only mean that your school or employer has a business account with At&t which offers discounts to it's students or employees.
It has absolutely no effect on our orders being expedited.

SG 128 gb 6+, premier
ordered at ~12:10... confirmation email a couple of hours later.
10/2-10/13* ship date
Some point late Tuesday night the 877 changed from "back-ordered" to "processing" (as noted by calling the 877 number and hearing the change yesterday morning)
Then, about 5pm last night, processing turned in to shipped. Phone already sitting at DFW. Phone came in from DFW overnight for delivery today.
first place to show updated info and tracking was here:

Great, I see you ordered 2 hours after me so hopefully I'll get an update by tonight.

Lost forever. Lol!
I think I might actually call the premier line today just to make sure something is messed up on my end.

Meee tooooo. It would be good timing actually. I shipped mine to my parents address because my apartment building sucks. So if it comes tomorrow when I'm going there I'd be so happy.
AT&T Sucks!
Oh don't worry AT&T the disappointment and maddening continues with AT&T! Just wait until you get your first bill!
I was in the same boat with a back ordered SG 128GB 6+, stood in line on the 19th and opted to go with SG 128GB 6 bc it seemed to be the right size for me.
They sold a lot of iPad mini's that day bc the store staff was telling everyone they got a (16GB) "iPad mini for $200 for signing up for the Next plan that day. , it would be $10/mo more to add it to your data plan." I found out the other night that was a complete lie! I wasn't told I was signing a 2 year contract and adding a line for the ipad! AT&T defrauded customers as the deal is clear on their website that the iPad mini is available for $200 with a 2 year service commitment.
AT&T lied to and defrauded customers in this store (and probably many more)by telling customers like myself that this was deal for being a Next customer and lying by omission about the 2 year contract. They lied to and defrauded other customers to get them to sign up for Next "to get an iPad mini for $200! when signing up for the Next plan."
I'm disgusted that AT&T lied about this deal/promo just to push the Next plan and sell an ipad w/ a 2 year contract.
The icing on the cake is every time AT&T even looks at my bill it goes up and you need a PHD in AT&T billing to decipher it. Trying to decide if I want to keep the ipad or return it I called 611 to try to get an understanding of what my total bill will be. The rep told me she had no idea what it will be, because "local governments determine their taxes." When I pressed and said when I buy an airline ticket they automatically know how much it will be with taxes and fee's, that AT&T sends me the bill every month, AT&T prepares the bill, so someone should be able to give me a guestimate at the least. This rep then tells me "we don't add the taxes and fees, we send your bill to your local government, they add the taxes and fees, then send you the bill." WHAT?!!! I want to make sure I didn't misunderstand her ridiculous lie and said "So what you're telling me is that AT&T sends a bill to each customer's local government, the government then adds the taxes and fees and then my local government sends me the bill?" To which she replies "yes sir, so you can see why I can't tell you what your total bill will be." Really!?! The lying of AT&T customer reps seem to be out of control lately. I really think they are trying to top each other for their stories on their lunch break... "Oh yea, I told a customer today that AT&T sends his bill to his local government, his local government adds their taxes and fees, then sends him his bill." (then they ll bust out laughing)
My bill over the last year with a discount via work and my $37 (and change) next plan had been around $115/month and now my bill looks like it will be about $175-$180 a month but the only changes to my account were (-next $37.50 +next 42.50) +$/10 for an ipad....
The same happened last year when the 2 year contract was up on my 4s and bought my 5s on Next. My bill had faithfully been $98/$99 for 2 years, I sign up a $37.50/month device to my account. If I pay for the taxes upfront on the phone and every thing else stays the same my bill should be $136.50, so why is my bill well over $150? I go through a $15x bill and $99 line by line with a supervisor, by golly everything besides the phone is the same... It took days for them to get to me with some BS justification for the added $15/month.
Do you see the game they play? You have 2 weeks to return the devices but they don't prepare their outrageous bill until way after that!!!

Got tracking number
Whew. Finally got a number.
Ordered 64GB SG 6+ on 9/12 at approx. 4:40am EST. Had the inclination just before I checked this morning to call one of the numbers in the above thread when-BAM- it shows shipped! I must have sat at my desk at work with my mouth open for 2 full minutes, looking like an idiot.
I think just the threat of thinking of calling the number got it shipped. IDK. Good luck to all, I know what it's like. Leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
It'll be worth it. Besides, say we got it sooner and loaded the most recent IOS 8.0.1. A good number of us would have gotten screwed twice and had a brick for a phone. So look at it that way.

No... I think we're here together... order 1012 made ont 315a EST on the 12th 64g 6+ SG has said preparing to ship for over a week now...
my beard has turned white, and my bones are slowly getting brittle as the wait continues this morning...
The icing on the ATT iPhone Plus back ordered cake is that my current bill, due before the estimated ship date of 10-2 to 10-13, has the $40 activation fee on it. When I "chatted" with CSR she said the activation fee gets put on with the order no matter how long it takes to get your phone. Hmmmmm
I couldn't get away with running my little business like that.
I hope so. If it all goes well sometime tomorrow I should be on this forum on my iPhone 6+

If there's any body on here that already received r heir iPhone did you have any problems activating it? I know some people were having good problems.

Yes that is what it means. I get an 18% discount, which basically has given me free data (am unlimited grandfathered plan from old iPhone days).
