Why are we all still up? :rolleyes:









Oh right... the iPhone 5 drug :D :p

Good night to all and to all a good night ;) :apple::apple:

I dont know how the **** people are getting through to the ATT website. I have been trying over and over since pre orders opened. I got through once only to get a gateway time out when placing in cart.

AT&T pulled the plug on there site, they are only allowing Apple to connect to them to check eligibility, no point in trying anymore until October. Might as well wait for iphone 6.
 
For those that have the Apple Store app, I'd suggest using that. Took me like 2mins to place an order and receive my confirmation email. Good luck.

That's what I did, and all I got was a (useless) reservation number. #ihateuat&t :(
 
Same exact situation.

Glad to know that I am not the only one, I will keep this updated and you do the same, please!

Edit: what is frightening is that the email received is titled "Your order is being processed."
 
I ordered through Apple and it said 2 weeks for shipping plus 5 days delivery time. A few minutes later I was able to get an order through Sprint which said delivery time September 21st. I'm hoping I can cancel the order I placed with Apple!
 
Just realized that I used the wrong Billing name. :rolleyes:
I hope my order won't get canceled.
 
Vodafone now accepting pre-orders but their website has crashed and there's a 45 min wait on the phone. Excellent!!

Order with Vodafone UK placed. Took ages but all sorted. 16GB on my current plan £99 one-off fee. Just waiting for a shipping date now. Hopefully it will be 21st!
 
This is so disappointing for premier customers.

We weren't even given a legit opportunity to order the phone. AT&T customers were at least able to use the apple store or the app but premier customers have to rely on the one specific website.

:(

It really does seem like AT&T's iphone allotment will be taken up by the people who were lucky enough to order from the AT&T site and orders from the Apple site. Premier customers never had a chance. NOOO.
 
There was a problem with your request.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but we are unable to support this request online. Please try again later. Thank you for your patience.

AT&T site down hard. I wonder if they're still excited?
 
I've now been on hold for 1.5 hours. And I see shipping has slipped to 2 weeks on Apple's website.
WHAT THE *UCK!
Does AT&T have one eskimo in a call center in Alaska answering the phones?

AT&T ABSOLUTELY SUCKS!

Was on hold for 2 FREAKING hours. They just answered and they say "Sorry, we aren't taking phone orders until 6am." WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF.

Yep, we were screwed, not sure why it's called premier....
 
AppleCare

I think there were issues, particularly on the iPhone App, as there were last year. I'm guessing Apple will let people add it within the first 30 days, just as they did last year.

Does this help

I used a friends account and his upgrade to buy the phone. I ordered using the iPhone app. The shipping address is not his billing address on his Verizon account, I used my billing address to process my debit card... I then went back on Verizon.com and changed his billing address to the same billing address associated with my debit card. Is my order going to be canceled?

I assume if I set all of the addresses to the billing address of my card (Verizon billing address, iPhone 5 order billing address and shipping address) Then theres no way it would be canceled right?

Maybe none of this matters because I purchased through Apple, not Verizon?? Help :/

So for the people who ordered from ATT is your status for your order set as "Pending"? Just need some confirmation that this is normal..

Hopefully it's normal because that's what mine is listed as. Shipment status is "processing" and phone agent attempted to assure me that they'll indeed ship on the 21st... as long as Apple gives them enough supply.
 
My order for the iPhone 5 (three of them, actually) went through fine on the AT&T website using Firefox (Safari wouldn't work). Time for bed :D

Yup I had to use Firefox as well.... Safari would just stop working but FireFox at least kept trying and it would eventually go through.
 
Got my order in.

For those who want it on launch day try radio shack. The local one tells me they only had 18 pre-orders last year.
 
no problems keeping my unlimited data :)
