first time ordering via at&t website, question

[lyutin]

So, usually I pre-order from apple.com/app. This time I dont have this "luxury", my question is for people who have either personal premier account or just a regular yearly contracts (none of those new next plans, etc.)
If you have ordered via at&t website before, how was the experience? Did you get the phone on the release day? What time did you order if you did/didn't? I need to order 2 iphone 6s, one regular and one plus.
Any advice, appreciated.

I want to know the same. Do you preorder from main att page or you go into your account and go into the line that is eligible for an upgrade. I am curious how this all works. I need shortcuts people! lol

same story. I already want to give up and order from Apple full price.

dont give up, if you have a regular subsidized plan - why would you pass on free money?! Worth a shot! Plus if it ends not well, can i go to a corporate store on 25th in the very early to sign up there instead? ( i was told before no; that was an early upgrade thought, so I am not sure if regular upgrade for personal premier is the same...)

Several years ago I tried to go with the AT&T to get my subsidy and AT&T site went down and froze multiple times. Went to the Apple site and my order went right through.

I will save the subsidy for a later purchase of the 6+ for my VP.

I pre-ordered with Att last year and got my phone on launch day. I went through the actual website which opened a little bit early. But I remember a lot of people had issues with them last year. So YMMV

Your discounts should be visible from the Apple site and will be honored. I would not order from ATT unless you have to do so or if the Apple site craps out.
