If you pre-ordered with sprint you can't cancel until you get your phone.
At least that's what I was told.
And i paid $850 outright. I've used samsung for the last 5 years, I use custom rums, android isn't that bad. But i wanted to go to the darkside or the "cool kids" club.I carry 2 phones because of business and can afford a note on my 2nd line, which right now is my main phone, i use a cheap phone as my other line. A htc android device. Now that this new phone is out, i figured i'd go with the apple on my main and my note on my 2nd line. Iphone might be the "cool kid" phone, and this is the first "size" that i've been willing to buy to be apart of the "status symbol" club. But, at that same time. With $850 out, i deserve my purchase.

Preorder 9/12 at 10am iPhone 6 plus 64GB Space Grey. My order was over the phone, so my order number is a little weird. #30766
I don't know what to think anymore. I ordered a 6+ in store on the 13th. I have a XXXXNYR-BO order number.
The people in the store won't even look it up for me. They just tell me the usual "4-6 weeks" thing. It is frustrating. Especially since they have my money already.
I ordered a 16 GB Space Grey 6+
Oh and I don't think any of the Sprint Stores got ONE 6+. Plenty of 6 though.

I do not think sprint gets Iphones in like a batch each day. I think they got all the stock out on that 1 day. But maybe a few were left but nothing we would see on here. I think it will be another major shipment but when that is no idea but i doubt we see the few each day deal.
I am afraid that now the apple store will get the most till supply gets caught up.
I again do not care what people say but you can go to a apple store and if you see the Iphone 6 plus you want step to the side call sprint up at 800 211 4727 then when the prompts come up hit 5 then 5 then 2.
This takes you to account services. They know what is going on i have called them i bet 10000 times in 14 years and i only call them. They are the last stop shop. They are the cancel department. They will ask you for your pin and ask the reason for your call.
Tell them you are fed up with sprint and have a order in for a Iphone 6 plus and want to cancel the order cause you are in a apple store and see 1 and want to buy it.
they 100% will do it in 2 minutes. Cause at the end of your call they HAVE TO ASK YOU did they solve the reason for your call. If you say no they have to send you to there manager.
They are told to do everything in there power to #1 solve your problem and #2 most importantly not let you cancel your account.
If you think i am full of BS ask Willx
thanks.

Can you add a line at Apple? I wanted to use the Apple App to buy my iPhone, but I needed to add a line for one of my phones, and Apple's site/app didn't have that option. They expected you to have a line already ready for an upgrade. You weren't allowed to open up a new line to get the new contract rate.
That is the ONLY reason I haven't gone through Apple. If you can do that in store, then I might just try to go in person and get one. This is ridiculous. It pisses me off to no end, to know that people were buying iPhone 6 + on the 16th even, and being able to pick their + in store on launch day (for the Sprint model).
I wouldn't be so livid if Sprint didn't take my money (and yes it was posted on my account not pending)...and yet can't tell me when I'm getting a product they charged me in full for. This is insane.
Highly annoyed about all of this. I also purchased the phone full price and check my cc this am and it still states posted. It only stated pending the first weekend, but posted to our account 9/15. I'm not sure why it posted when we still don't have the phone. My statement to pay for phone will be in before the phone.
What really worries me, is that other networks at least gave their customers ETA's. So many people have an ETA for shipping on their account. We don't have jack. My order doesn't have a single thing. Status is blank. That is what is really pissing me off.
It's almost as if, my order doesn't even exist.
If you used a upgrade to pay for the phone with sprint you will get the upgrade right back when you cancel the order. You can't add a new line of service in the apple store. You can over the phone with sprint.
But if you cancel the order sprint then gives you the money back. I know someone said you have to wait till they ship it to you and send it back THAT IS NOT TRUE you can just call and say FO i want to cancel this right now that i never knew i would have to wait after you took my money.
Remember they do not want to lose you as a customer. But if you go into a apple store and see it ask the rep they want to sell you a phone they will help also.
But i would wait and see maybe a day or 2 this week before jumping the gun. See how it plays out today and tomorrow.
Yeah, I'll definitely wait. Although honestly, I would not be the least bit surprised if we didn't get any updates till like October 7th or something crazy.
I jut checked stock in local apple stores in Florida and in Naples they have the 6 plus in 64GB in stock and able to be bought and picked right up.
It is kinda sad really they have them sitting in apple stores while people wait.
----------
I would have told them they are FOS but then again that is why i never go into my local sprint store LOL cause they are as clueless as some reps.
They just do not want you to cancel the order. BUT if they had a phone you wanted there they sure would lol
----------
Also there is a boat load of 6P Silver 128GB in stock in tampa. They got lots and lots of them lol

I just checked UPS and tried my customer number. It shows 1 package, but no additional info was available. So I don't know if it's my previous order or the plus. Fingers crossed.
As for SG 6+ 16GB, a guy on another forum (reddit) said his neighbor received his (ordered around noon on the 12th) and his neighbor's wife received hers (ordered on the 15th). He also said a coworker got his as well, and he read another forum here a guy's status was updated to 2-5 delivery after ordering on the 13th. He didn't provide order numbers or any other details. So, I do not know if any of this is accurate.
OMG I am so glad I found this thread
I thought I was going mad or in the middle of a twilight zone episode.
Pre-ordered the 12 - 64GB 6+ Space Grey
Got no email confirmation
Sprint has no record of ANY order taking place
Store has order number but neither Sprint nor the order status page recognizes it
My card was of course charged
Store manager lied and told me the reason it was not showing up was because Apple has not even built any 64GB 6+s
Lots of apologies, but NO ONE at Sprint or the store would give me ANY definitive answer on just what the hell happened to my order.
Very, very, angry at Sprint.

I can't imagine the one ordered on the 15th was a + --- many people who ordered the 6 through Tuesday have already received them but the latest I've seen delivery dates for on a 6+ is the 13th
I think reddit guy is confused.

The problem is, you could have ordered on Day 1, and had your order delayed depending on the model (the GB and the color). Someone could have ordered a 64gb + model on the 13th, and theoretically have gotten it before your 16gb + on the 12th.
I think a common factor I've seen is that the 16gb + Space Grays were severely under supplied. I keep kicking myself for going with 16gb.
