In store pickup question for Apple Store

[HerdJC]

The local Apple Store location shows a 16gb iPhone 6 Plus available for ATT this rooming. I want to buy the phone at full price. I had previously ordered the 6 plus through ATT but a system error canceled my order Saturday morning after I had waited 5 weeks. When I go through the process of purchasing it online and picking up at the store, it offers me to buy it for the 749$ price, but says it's a two year contract even paying full price. This makes me a bit nervous as I don't want to lock myself into a contract but I also want to make sure I get the phone. Can anyone confirm whether or not buying a full price ATT phone from the Apple Store online for in store pickup locks you into a two year contract?

Just buy the T-Mobile version...

There Are no T-Mobile versions available at the store. Just ATT.

As detailed in other threads, order online for instore pickup with the contract agreement.

When you get to the store explain to the person setting you up (don't confuse the greeter) that you want to buy it at full retail not on contract.

Thanks for the link and info. My concern is that my canceled order hasn't been purged from ATT system despite promises it would be so my eligibility may be tied up. I guess my best option is to just go in and explain my situation and see if they can still use that method to get the phone.

If they're charging you full price with a 2/yr contract, chances are the cancellation hasn't been fully processed on AT&T's end. Does that reflect when you log into your account? I would call AT&T to confirm cancellation so that your eligibility is reset, OR, you can go to the Apple store and take care of it all there in person.
