please help

Okay since no one else has helped me. You guys always seem to try. Do any of you know why my phone would be doing this? When I registered my phone for Imessage I set it to only use my mobile number and did not link that number with my apple Id. I don't have Imessage activated on my Ipad or Ipod to begin with. However, when I leave a wifi network and don't turn my mobile data on my friend can not send me messages as texts. Her phone is set up to automatically do this and it still will try sending it as an imessage and I won't get her messages. Does it have anything to do with me being linked by facetime through my mobile number? Will I have to log out of facetime on my ipad? Anyone that can help is appreciated. I tried all the methods that Apple Support said and still it is not working correctly.
 
I understand how you feel. I have been with sprint for 2 years and will admit the customer service is lack luster. That being said I've rarely had to deal with them as my previous iphone didn't have any issues. My bill is dirt cheap as compared to when I was with Verizon. If you can stand the wait a little longer for a cheap phone plan it will be worth it.

It must depend on your location. There's nothing here in Utah. I didn't mean anything against you in that post. I was just venting a little frustration is all :). Sorry if it seemed like there was malintent.
I'm way late, but no problems.:cool:
I completely understand the frustration, I was just there with ya!

Mine did something similar to this last Thursday and called Apple who was worthless. My imessage ended up being turned off but every time I attempted to send imessage to someone else it didn't link my name to them but my icloud address. Apple had me to uncheck icloud and only use number. When I do that it doesn't even attempt to send through imessage bu tsend with sms. Still have problems..

I ordered exactly the same but from the UK store online on the 14th. Mine is still stuck at 'Preparing for dispatch', it's been that way for almost a week now. Hopefully I'll see some movement shortly.

I also pre-ordered my Space Gray iPhone 6+ 64GB in-store without an order number on the 15th around 12:00 PM PDT.
 
I preordered my 6+ 128 SG in store (sprint) on 9/15 approx 11:20 am EST. They didn't give me an order number but was able to obtain one through CS to check on order status, but still haven't received phone or tracking number.

Have you stopped by your Sprint store to check? I went in to activate my Apple Store purchased 6+ last week and my Sprint store had several 128s in stock - in Kentucky.

Not in the florida sprint store i wish lol... Closest thing is Best Buy but they only have 64GB.

Shoot me an email...it ends in gmail and uses my avatar name.
 
Please take me off the list. I'm Sitting with my iPhone + as we speak sg 64gb ordered 9/13 7:50 am MDT. I am disappointed with the speed sprint had in delivering the phone but they don't have much control as Apple hasn't given them much supply. What can you do but wait? Hang in ther guys.
 
I ordered exactly the same but from the UK store online on the 14th. Mine is still stuck at 'Preparing for dispatch', it's been that way for almost a week now. Hopefully I'll see some movement shortly.

Seems like they are up to the 13th so hope we hear something soon

Well I ordered on 9/12 at 10:45am 6+ SG 64GB and haven't received a tracking number or phone yet. Order made over the phone 750681 seems like people who ordered after me are receiving the phones, sprint really dropped the ball on this one
 
Update: I think I got the Imessage thing all straightened out but I messed up my ability to text message when I was messing around trying to fix that issue. So I had to do an entire restore to factory settings and go through Itunes and use my last backup I had on my itunes before my phone went haywire to restore it. Everything now seems to be working the way it should be after doing that. The real test will be tomorrow at my job. I had the majority of my problems getting my texts out when I was at work, I know I know I shouldn't even be doing that at work. LOL! Though sprint said one of the towers near my work was getting work done to it so that could have been the problem all along. Was anyone else having issue with text messaging that it would say you had service but messages wouldn't go out?

I think it has more to do with Apple not making enough phones and instead of taking care of the preorders they already have they start to release it to the rest of the world.they will take our money and make us wait over a month though.with the date and time you ordered I would have thought you would have got one . I too did the phone order
