anyones iphone 5 unable to access 4G network? Mine only can use wifi internet.

Got my iPhone 5 here this morning at 10:45 AM.

As for network settings, you need to go to settings->reset network settings to get the phone to recognize the 4G/LTE.
 
I wonder if you could pick one up at the apple store and cancel your order and still keep your credit.

I wish it was that easy for me to cancel being the fact that I went on a goose chase from left to right from NJ to NY from AT&T to Apple and for them to tell me its sold out
 
1406 order here, place at 3:06am est on the 14th. So I talked again to a rep from att and was told that the phones are not the issue but the number of SIM cards they have. That they have the phones but are not able to send out because there were not enough SIM cards to match and they should get them and ship very soon for delivery date of 11/4 at the latest. I also ask WHY i was not at the top of the list seeing I placed my orde so early and he said that all the orders from that time were when the system was overloaded and all were basically bumped to the back of the line and that he himself was also in that group. He sounded pissed off and totally understood the frustration everyone was having. I hope this helps some people with some answers!

11/4???? I hope you meant 10/4.

Right there with you. Sold out in most of Southern Indiana, fun freaking stuff.
 
How long did your activations take? I activated mine through the link in the e-mail where I had to put in my IMEI and ICCID numbers. They said I will receive a confirmation e-mail and test with a phone call but I haven't received anything yet. Its been about 30 minutes give or take. iPhone 5 shows no service and its currently connected to iTunes.
 
What time did you order and what are the first 4 of your order number?

6:10 PM EST on Friday, September 14. Called my local store and ordered over the phone with a representative. My order number is totally different from everything else I've seen here so I have no idea which part to provide.

Me too. I'm expecting no delivery today. But I also expect a tracking to come in some time tonight for a Saturday (depending on method) or Monday delivery.

Would have really enjoyed having it for the weekend though. :(

Why are you expecting this?

Oh, I am royally screwed then.

My dumb @#$%^ didn't order until 6 PM PDT on 9/14.

Like I said, maybe I get it when the 5s comes out.

I'm right there with you man! Misery loves company :)

Not necessarily. I spoke to one guy who ordered the following Saturday--well after the pre-order launch--and he is receiving his today! How's that for crazy? I ordered by 11:30AM, CST, 9/14...and my phone is backordered. Total horsesh*t.

From AT&T?

LOL I went to the Athens Ga store and the 64 black was the only phone they had left.

Doh! That's the one I have on backorder!

Got it....it's here and beautiful. Now have to get it all set!

How do I open the back???? It says:
Follow the instructions below to locate your smart chip's (SIM card) ICCID number.

Remove the battery cover from the back of your device.
Remove the battery.
Carefully remove the smart chip.
On the front of the smart chip you should see a 20 digit number. This is the smart chip (ICCID) number.

I don't know how to remove the battery cover!!! DUH

Not sure if this is a joke or serious so I will treat it as serious. This is a general set of instructions for most phones. This does not apply to the iPhone. The SIM Card on the iPhone is accessible via a drawer on the side of the device.
 
FedEx just extended the estimated delivery time to 8:00 tonight on my phone which is why I chose UPS at checkout in the first place. The UPS delivery driver came by the usual time this morning, dropped off a package to a neighbor a few houses away from me, but didn't seem like he was busy or in a rush. at&t is a joke.
 
Figured I'd join the parade here.

Ordered at 12:03PM PST, three minutes after going live.

Received email confirmation instantly 'confirming a 9/21 delivery date' along with a snippet about 'first come, first serve'.

Week later, no updates. Order 14069XXXX In progress, QTY: 1 Backordered

I am in San Jose, California.

I will never order through AT&T again, but I will say I only did so because the Apple.com store was unavailable until at least 12:20AM that morning.

Called ATT CC, talked to a 'supervisor' in FL, was told because of the status of my order I could not cancel. I made it very clear the store in Los Gatos had plenty for me to go in now, and it would be a problem if my phone wasn't going to come until October. Near the end, she tried to sell me on UVERSE. She was nice, but not very helpful.

First world problems I know....but seriously AT&T, get it together.
 
did anyone have any issues with the terms and conditions. Went to the ATT store to do a cross upgrade and spent an hour and 45 minutes on the phone with their customer service at the ATT store trying to resolve the issue. completely frustrating. But the Iphone is working now!

I had to restart the phone for it to finally work. Try that.
