iPhone 6 & 6 Plus Sprint Pre-Order Thread!

in store order

lpiphonekray said:
This is crazy i order first day (sep 12th)by 930am at my local corporate sprint store, iphone6+ gold 64gb. I went there to support the bricks and mortar store an let someone get a commission on my purchase, and I can even get a real estimate on delivery time, and the icing on it all my Iphone 5 just died last week. my order number is a 5p*****-BO if that really means back order they should have told me that instead of saying I would get one probably the first day. Haven't got any calls or emails, Ive been to the store 3 times since I ordered twice on launch day and yesterday the line was a 1 1/2 hr wait just to speak to someone. I call an no one picks up the phone. From what I can tell they never received any iPhone +'s I went by the apple store to get my laptop fixed an there they are getting shipment everyday.

Is there any way for me to cancel this BS order and get one from the apple store?

I am on a framily plan and using the easy pay option. at this point im even considering switching to the galaxy note, I don't like how apple has handled this whole thing either.

I also did a in store pre order at my local Sprint corporate store on the 15th and I have the order number of ( 5p*** -BO ). And was told 4-6 weeks!

Well, I'm out guys. I think I might even cancel my order. I've lost 100% hope in them getting me my 16 GB + SG model within a reasonable time. If people that pre-ordered 10 min after pre-orders went up still haven't gotten their 16gb SG models, then that means we could be looking at a month before people that ordered hours after the site stopped crashing on Day 1 to get their model.

Seriously, **** sprint and **** apple. Apple did such a **** job with this launch, there is no excuse. When they have our models in their store, but can't even provide carriers enough to cover even 10% of the day 1 pre-orders, that is some ********. And screw Sprint for charging us the full price, and selling us a product that doesn't exist, with terrible communication and no idea of when we can even expect it.

This entire thing has soured me. Was fun (not).

Whenever you ordered it did you see the 4-6 week delay? I saw it but was just too damn stubborn to believe it

Sprint Iphone 6 or 6+ on ATT network

Anyone know if Sprint Iphone 6 or 6+ can run on ATT network? I will be travelling oversea a fair amount in the next couple years and Sprint Iphone 6 seems to support a lot more wireless protocol than ATT one. And since I need to buy a naked phone anyone, I would love to get a Sprint one if possible. Also can I go to Apple store and buy a Sprint Iphone 6 device only (much like buying a Verizon one device one) any just pay the full amount?
 
Well if it was me and i ordered it from the sprint local store i would still call sprint account services and tell them flat out that the apple store has them and you have rights to cancel a order. There is nothing in the contract stating you can't. They can try and BS you even about store orders.

When the rep at the end of the call still tells you no then tell him or her okay well you did not solve the reason for my call. What happens next is they send you to there manager cause they can't just say sorry and end the call.

Then the account services manager of that call center will come on and ask what the problem is. I would go as far as telling them this is making you want to cancel service cause apple stores have them but sprint will not let you out of a pre order.

Well no account services manager wants to cancel a line of service. It goes on there daily sheet and trust me if it can be done it would be done then.


Never say it can't be done. I had a clueless rep 7 years ago add a 10% discount to my plan. I had her note my account nothing would change.

She added it and my next bill was 50$ more. I checked and all the special deals they do not offer anymore were gone.

The one thing with sprint is once you leave a plan that is not offered anymore is you can't go back on it since there are no codes for them to put in to get you back.

It took the manager a week but he got it back to the way it was.

Moral of the story is anything can be done it just takes the nerve to tell them this is wrong and either fix it or you are gone. They will not call your bluff and say fine go.

About paying the full amount. They have to tie the phone to a line of service. You have to give them a line to put it on. You can't just buy it and carry it on no service. And in fact only 1 per line so if you wanted to buy a extra one for your line you can't. Well if it broke or you say you lost it and they blacklist it i guess you could lol. But no you can't do that.
 
Brothers and sisters, I don't know how this happened, but the guy from the Sprint store called me back and told me that he found a loophole. So I went in and needless to say I now have an iPhone six 128 GB. So apparently there is someway to cancel your in-store pre-order. This is cool because I'm coming from the 4 S. I am pretty excited but will definitely trade for 6+ down the road when people have them.
 
Has anyone who is still following this thread heard any good news in the last 12 or so hours other than the one lucky in store deal by Ohleo?

I want to celebrate with you guys when you get stuff but at the same time I don't want everyone to get all frustrated again. I HATE being in limbo as much as you all do, I'm sure.
 
No news

If you do any research of the iPhone 6 and 6 plus it will tell you that they are all delayed especially Sprint and T-Mobile for weeks to two months.

I'm aware of the expected delay. But there WERE people who got tracking numbers in the wee hours of the morning this morning so I was wondering if anyone else did.

All carriers have delays for the 6+ unless you want to walk into an Apple Store and buy it on subsidy or outright.

This is my first ever pre ordering ever and I was like ok do it this way and I would get my phone faster now look at this mess# Also this is my first iPhone ever. I ordered the iPhone 6 plus, 64 GB in gold. Never again. I am just glad I still have my Samsung Galaxy note 3!
 
Just checked my activation settings in Sprint and I see my 6+! :D:cool: Im order 750905xxx. I ordered at 6PM PST on 9/13. I got the Gold 6+ 16gb. Im hoping to see it soon! :)
 
I pre ordered via phone at 730am MST on the 12th 6+ 64gb silver and still have no tracking or other info. I have been checking apple stores from here (az) to Cali and haven't seen any variation of a 6+ available for in store pickup. I was told when I ordered it could be 2-3 weeks from the 12th. I guess maybe I should have waited in line for hours like some ppl. This is ridiculous that they didn't have more produced well ahead of launch.

Sprint website->My Sprint Tab->Activate a new phone button
 
I preordered the 6+ on 9/15. Went to Sprint store today and compared the 6 vs 6+. The 6+ is huge!! I decided to cancel my preorder. It took an hour on the phone but I was able to cancel. Then I got the 6 gold 64gb at the Sprint Store today. Very happy!#.

I'm not mad that I didn't get it on release date. You are right, they never guaranteed we would get our stuff on release. They also didn't force us to make the pre-oder. I'm mad that they charged us the full price of the phone (they actually charged me, not pending), and then have been terrible with providing us with any info at all. And it pisses me off that Apple has had + models, when they can't even provide those that paid for them in full on the first day. This whole launch has been ****ed.

That is why I'm pissed off.

Yeah, more BS coming my way. I ordered a 16gb + Gold model as well, on the 12th..and you are getting it before me? Really. **** sprint. **** all this.

When you get your shipping info, can you let me know. I'm going to call up Sprint and chew them out. Makes no sense that you ordered a day after me, and are getting yours shipped ahead. I'm fuming.
 
Shipping

Currently, shipping estimates for new iPhone 6 orders remains at 7-10 business days, while the iPhone 6 Plus is still showing a shipping delay of 3-4 weeks. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will also be available in 20 more countries including Austria, Belgium, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, and more on September 26.
 
what's got me pissed off is that i ordered 2 on the SAME DAY i got one you'd think if they don't have that color they could've contacted me with other options

Yeah, keep launching the phone in more places, when they can't even fill half the pre-orders on day 1 here. Makes sense.
