AT&T Pre-order status iPhone 6 Plus (only)

My 4S ain't rocking nuthin. I can't copy and paste worth a damn and it takes too long just to answer the phone or open the camera. By the time the camera opens bigfoot is already cracking a cold one from the cooler he stole out of my tent...he gone!:D

anyone know if there was any stock at night at all??? Last I checked at 11pm there was nada.

That's handy for the time obsessed amongst us ;)

I'm at 26 'business' days.

6Plus 128GB/SG ordered 9.19. Ship dates 11/9-11/27. Maybe.

Yeah, getting a little tired of seeing others order later and getting shipped sooner. My 4S is still rocking with 8.1.:cool:

I wonder how much leverage someone could get by threatening to go to the media with the obvious flaw in AT&T's oder processing system that is totally incapable of adjusting to an unforeseen credit card issue. I have a potential issue with my CC as it will reach its expiration date at the end of next month and I have already received my new card. I called AT&T's CS only to have them tell me I should not active my new card or it will cause my order to be canceled and I would need to reorder with a new shipping schedule. If I had not been reading this forum and did not call AT&T to check, I would have already activated my new card and not known that my order would never ship because of a change in my credit card.

Reporting this flaw to the media has the potential to cause AT&T a lot of bad PR. I would think that if the numbers I am seeing in this thread for people that are having this issue were overlaid with the total number of people that have ordered this product from them they have a huge problem that for the moment if flying under the radar.

Here!!
 
Well, if you remember a few launches back, they used to send phones out first without charging until days or even weeks later. I am sure more than a few people decided to just not pay and got phones for free. If they go to charge a card that was used to order and there is some problem, exactly how long should they spend on MILLIONS of orders while making others wait?

I do agree there should be some way to pay ahead or change your billing, but that is what the stores are for no?

It's a logistics nightmare but it's still just a phone and not a cure for cancer so not sure Faux news GAF
just sayin'

Not to hijack but really? Faux news? Because I don't know you, I will refrain from calling you the problem. Now back to our regularly scheduled program!

I think there are many media outlets that would love to make a big splash with this type of story. Not so much a Fox news, but more of a "bleeding heart/anti big business" biased media outlet.

As for it being a "logistics nightmare", the same automated system that sends you an email telling you your phone has shipped, could just as easily send you an email saying your CC is no longer allowing us to make a charge and we need you to provide a new payment method before your product can be shipped.
 
The problem is the sheeple watching hyped up slick media. I have critical thinking and you are right, you don't know me.

anyhoos- Myst, any word yet???

This thread is the reason I refuse to place an order online. Seeing people who ordered launch date who still haven't received their orders is absurd.

I keep trying to catch a "reserve and pick up", but every time I get to check out I get an error. I still think I'm better off not ordering online, I have a feeling that 3-4 week wait time from Apple really means 2 months

Do you think it makes a difference if you order from Apple vs ordering from ATT?

If I order, I would go with Apple. But I wonder how legit that 3-4 week wait is
 
anyone left?

I am a long time lurker, first time poster. I ordered 2 SG 6+ 64 GB at ATT corp store on 10/9 (obviously I haven't posted because most people ordered WAY before me and deserve to have theirs first) my ship dates are 11/18-11/28 and have been the same since day 1. I get backordered on 877# as well.

What I've noticed lately on here is that no one from those earlier windows is even posting so idk if they have all got their phones and just aren't telling us or are they just being quiet because there's no movement. Anyone?

I can assure you there are still TONS of 09/12's let alone many others that ordered in the month of September and still have not gotten their phones. Just not much we can do but just wait unfortunately.

In my opinion it takes a layer, or layers, out of the process. Ordering through AT&T you get queued through them, they get the phones from Apple, distribute to their DCs, fulfill orders etc.

Ordering through Apple, I've seen a lot of folks getting their phones sent directly from the factories as they churn them out.

thanks for all the replies guys, have to say Juju ruined my hope that I might be getting ours this week or next. Though I have noted the last couple of weeks that activity tended to happen on wed-thurs, guess we will see. Would love to see all of you people that ordered early get your phones very soon, please keep us up-to-date!
