iPhone 6 & 6 Plus Sprint Pre-Order Thread!

FOR ALL those people who do NOT log into sprint at night like i have for 14 years at times. EVERY NIGHT! the site goes down. Its nothing to do with the Iphone. It does this each night 7 days a week 365 days a year.

I have many times at night went to log in and the site was down. This is why the site went down with pre orderes. The site went down when the Note 3 i got went live. The site always goes down cause sprint has it set to go down each night at that time. The stupid people who run it forget on pre order night then have to bring it back up.

And again do not call reps they give you did info each time they know NOTHING! they say what they were told to keep you happy.
 
Morning!

So I'm typing this as fast as possible as I should be in the shower getting ready for class, but last night I woke up around 3am for some water and zombiely checked my phone on the way to the kitchen. Checked my e-mail, wellsfargo, and myorder page with no avail. BUT I just checked my bank account about five minutes ago and noticed something very amazing....Sprint took the money out of my account and ACTUALLY withdrew it, not just reauthorized!!!!!

Apparently Sprint it preparing shipping labels today and we should see come change to our tracking page later this afternoon/evening!!!

Check your bank accounts to see if your pending charge was pushed through, that should be a good indicator wether you're one of the few chosen ones! :apple:
 
Debating what i should pay on launch day.I have a local guy down to 1175 but i think at 1050 i'd be a buyer of the 64gb 6 + especially if it's in november.I'm one of those who needs it first day , otherwise i lose interest but i'm not about to over pay by $225 at 1175. $100 for your time i think is sufficient markup.
 
Before i start my work i just checked my credit card. I did easy pay with no upgrade so the only way i can check is my credit card.

The Tax was pending but today it cleared.

BUT AGAIN PEOPLE DO NOT READ THE PRE ORDER PAGE IT SAY'S THEY CAN DEBIT OR CREDIT YOU THE FULL AMOUNT OF A PRE ORDER AND STILL SHIP IT WHEN AVAILABLE.

I did not pay in full BUT if i had it would have been charged the full amount and i fall into the second group of 4-6 weeks. So please do not go by your account was charged. All that happened was your bank cleared it today as well as mine and everyone else.

Read the sprint.com/preorder page it will show you they can charge you in full and not ship till in comes in.

Hmm, well it looks like Sprint just charged my credit card and my online bill at sprint now has a negative amount. Hopefully this is a good sign!

I wasn't able to get into the Sprint website until 7am EST and of course I ordered the harder to get 128gb 6+, so we'll see. I'd be ecstatic to get it at the end of next week, at this point.

Just curious but what was the reason You couldn't order from Apple?

I got on Apple Store app right at midnight for the 6+. My attempt to order got rejected with the "Your plan requires you to buy from Sprint.com" but my sister in laws order went through and she has a 9/19 delivery date.

I never figured out why I got rejected. I assume it's because I'm on a Framily plan but I'm not sure.

I was getting an error message the day before when trying to check my upgrade eligibility on Apple.com. It said my account was blocked and I had to contact Sprint. I spoke with Sprint 3 times over the course of the evening until they closed, they each told me my account wasn't blocked and it was an issue on Apple's end. The issue didn't resolve in time for me to order from Apple, so I just ordered from Sprint directly. In speaking with Apple later in the day, they told me it was on Sprint's end and that they had heard of the issue from other people, suspecting Sprint was "forcing" us to buy through them. Likewise, the Sprint rep told me it was Apple's fault and that it was a ploy to get me to physically go into the store to pre-order. :eek:

None of it makes sense. Just glad I got my order in somewhere! I'm happy with Sprint service, but this is my first time pre-ordering through them. It will undoubtedly be my last. The last phone I ordered on launch day was the iPhone 4 and I got that straight from Apple, delivered on launch day with no issues.

True. People shouldn't jump to any conclusions with Sprint getting around to charging credit cards:

Yeah i know. Some people skip over posts like that cause they do not want to believe lol i do hope everyone gets it the end of the week but again till your order page says shipped its a 50/50 chance.

The part i do not like is not the charge being taken out of my account already.
I do NOT like to see the Your pre-order for the 64GB iPhone 6 Plus is at our warehouse. Okay if it is at your warehouse THEN SHIP IT.

then why have we all been getting charged today and yesterday. This wouldn't even be a topic of discussion if everyones charge posted on Friday.

Maybe it has something to do with hundreds of thousands of people all ordering and upgrading their phones at the same time, and they're just now getting around to billing everyone?

You do NOT know how banks work? You make a payment on a friday. During the weekend it does not post. Most of the time it does not post on Monday. 99% of the things you bought on Friday with a credit card do NOT!!!! get posted to your account today.

Everyone ordered the same freaking day!! then your credit card or whatever holds it then unless the company pulls it back it comes though on Tuesday.

In sprints case they are allowed to charge you ahead of time for a pre order so it went in.

But everyone got charge today CAUSE THAT IS HOW BANKS WORK WHEN YOU PLACE A ORDER ON A FRIDAY!

No it is the banks. This is how banks work. I have 8 accounts i manage they all work the same. Things you paid for on friday get posted on tuesday to your account. This is just how banks work has nothing to do with sprint.

Ummm no THEY DON'T!! THEY ARE PENDING ON YOUR ACOUNT then they get posted on tuesday if made on friday. I HAVE MANY ACCOUNTS I KNOW HOW THEY WORK.
 
Well I'm not going to blindly accept "thats how it works" because everything else I bought on Friday went through on Friday. So maybe my bank works differently or something.
 
They probably have a backlog of charges to put through. I would say it doesn't matter since I have been charged since I pre-ordered

I can tell you that my order for a 6+ went through around 2:45 a.m. PST on 9/12, and the funds were taken out of my bank and acknowledged on mysprint immediately. Unfortunately, charge activity won't necessarily be a hint or indication in either direction.

Anyone who's been with sprint for a while can tell you that it is an extremely disjointed company. There is usually no consistency--4 different csr's will give you 4 different responses and different departments will give conflicting answers.

Years ago, customers could often take advantage of this lack of internal communication within Sprint, ie: double dipping in credits, capitalizing on deals offered to certain customers only etc.

blindly? if you bought something on friday it goes into your bank account as pending. It shows there on friday just like mine showed there on friday BUT IT WAS LISTED AS PENDING! maybe your bank does not show you pending when you look at it online BUT NO BANK!! posts it the same day. They take the funds out on friday. The funds were taken out of my avil balance on friday. But then today after processing it then was posted. But there is no bank unless it is a cash withdraw posts it the same day you may have thought they went though but they were pending with the balance taken out of your account.

Has nothing to do with them coming or not if it shows up on friday you got it if not then down the road

There is no hate i am pointing out facts about how banks work since i manage 8 accounts at different banks it is just facts not hate. The things you thought posted the same day were listed but only pending same with sprint.

Truth 14 years with them here
 
look at this guy ^ he must work at the World Bank, he's got 8 accounts and knows stuff. Also, that was a quote from Star Wars, wasn't implying you were actually full of hate. Why so serious everyone?
 
I leave for a few hours and I come back to people arguing about charges... Let's all just get back to the topic of hoping to get our phones on Friday.

I wouldn't read much into it. I ordered around 3 and a half hours after launch and my charge posted on Friday on a 64GB iPhone 6+ space grey. I highly doubt I'm in the very first batch.

Edit: Just checked again and somehow it posted on Sunday...never seen that before. I assumed Friday since it was posted yesterday morning already.

" we will do our best to get it to you by friday 9/19."

Yes, I talked to a Sprint rep, which we all know isn't the most reliable thing, but he said orders will be shipped out tomorrow with 2 day shipping. This would mean we would get the phones on Friday.
