iPhone 6 & 6 Plus Sprint Pre-Order Thread!

[Chorx]

Nothing going on here.

I have this weird feeling the SECOND I cancel my order I wont' be able to find a phone locally since Best Buy doesn't take calls concerning inventory. How accurate is iDeviceChecker?

My friend called a best buy that resulted in a positive 64gb 6+. He got them to hold the device until after work. He just picked it up. They told him it was the very last one and they'd only hold it for a little bit.

This tells me they some best buys will inquire and some will even go as far as holding inventory if you're good to them.

I Got a Iphone 6 plus

Guys if you ordered from the corporate sprint store cancel that ****ing thing. I just did it and then and went to go pick up a iphone 6 plus in silver instead of gold (im happy with it) with 64gb. only problem I had was that canceling the preorder messed up my account it took a long to time activate my phone. I recommend canceling wait a day and use the Idevice tracker to find a store that has what you want in stock. I coulnt wait bc my phone was dead and I need it for work so I just bought it outright. doesnt make a big difference to me I was using sprint easy pay anyway so I would have paid the same price anyway just over two years. At least this way my monthly bill is lower.

Good luck guys its been fun (not really) this iphone 6+ is AWESOME!

Well the best buy near me states they won't get any iphone 6 plus for Sprint until 2 months which is crazy❗️

it seems like GA is SOL

 

[boredoftheworld]

I just came from my local Best Buy, they have 6+ in stock but they can't process Sprint easy pay due to some computer goof up. Happily I didn't cancel my preorder yet.

Unfortunately, Atlanta is Verizon and ATT territory. Maybe that's the reason.

You can pull me off the list. After all of the headaches and all of the screw ups I picked up a 128gb gold 6+ from a best buy. It's got a larger capacity and a different color from my original preorder but the gold is fine (it'll be in a case anyway) and the larger capacity is only costing me a couple more bucks a month.

Sprint DID try to make it right for me, though. I got my call today and they tried to offer me a 6 to be here on Monday but I declined because I found a 6+. They did apologize for screwing up my cancelation with a small acct credit to cover my activation fees and gas to and from best buy twice (her words not mine).

So I suppose I'm happy with sprint again, because even though I talked to a bunch of really unhelpful people I finally got a supervisor who did everything in her power to actually make it right.

Bonus, the 6 and 6+'s better antennas mean I'm getting LTE in my house where before it was 1x only.

that's ******** cause i called last week and asked if they processed easy pay and they said yes but you could not use your old phone as a trade in for the down payment. At least the best buys in VA work that way

Which one did you go to? If you like, I can go by the Pleasant Hill/Duluth location after work tomorrow and check for you.

I would try it again some other time if yours doesn't come in soon and you want to pick it up. Mine was done via easy pay this evening.

 

[teeitup]

I think the Apple store is filling orders fairly quickly on the 6. I ordered on the 22nd and my Sprint 16gb space gray shipped out last night.

----------

Question...searched a bit but didn't find a definitive answer. I have a 5 line ED1500 family plan. One of my lines would like to purchase an iphone 6 but isn't upgrade eligible until July. If I purchase a phone on easy pay, will that line still be eligible for a subsidized upgrade in July.

Apparently this is a temporary thing at my Best Buy, I'll be going back tomorrow.

 

[aliensporebomb]

Ha!

One of the guys at work got a white 6 but it turns out that he bricked it with that software update - he's so mad he wants to return it and go back to android. Sigh.

 

[VictoriaLovie]

Sprint

more than anything I'm just pissed that they have the phone I ordered at these other places for regular people to buy before I got mine. and that they have conflicting information every time I talked to them at

 

[smooches680]

Thank you❗️

Sorry but I live in Cumming ga and that is not near me but I do appreciate the suggestion.#

15 or 20 minutes with iTunes and he can restore his bricked iPhone to the 8.0 software - good as new!

restore bro

 

[psvillars]

for those that have their phones or that have iPhones iOS 8.0.2 is out something to take our minds off waiting

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.

I need your help. I'm at a Sprint store and I told them about this loophole and they don't seem to know how to do it.. He said if you know someone that has done it.. Let them know. Do you know how they did it or what is the number to the sprint store you had it done and the persons name?

I can get my phone at Best Buy or Target right now if I can get out of this in store preorder.

----------

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!#.

Was your original pre order done in store and you were able to cancel it over the phone?? BecuSe I need to do that right now for my in store pre order. And pick one up at Best Buy right now

I preordered over the phone.

 

[aliensporebomb]

Ah!

15 or 20 minutes with iTunes and he can restore his bricked iPhone to the 8.0 software - good as new!

He did that but it required work on his part and he didn't enjoy that with a new device.

Honestly, he was more mad that U2 got put on his device without his permission (he HATES U2). Some people waste time getting mad at dumb things.

But his real object of anger was that it was a day full of phone calls and clients and he should have NOT impulsively updated it when he had a schedule full of stuff to do; that update would have been there later (had it actually worked).

He had to run home to his computer and restore from backup and etc etc.

So anyone get their phone yet?

You sir, are a hero. I went to that website this morning. Idevicechecker.com Found a Best Buy in the area that had iPhones in stock. Left on my lunch-break and drove 20 minutes to the Best Buy. Bought iPhone 6 plus 64GB. Turned in iPhone 5 for $225. Paid $202 for my new iPhone 6 plus. Left store. Came back to work. Elated. Canceled my order from Sprint, getting $427 back. Made money off the deal and I got my phone today. I'm so freaking happy. Take me off that damn list.

You cancelled your order after you had already got the phone from BestBuy?

 

[aliensporebomb]

I just had a weird idea....

What if our phones are on the next batch of planes?

I'm trying to do that right now. I called my local sprint Corprotate store and they said they can't cancel it U til the phone comes.. And they said if you know anyone who has INSIDE a store, let them know HOW it was done because they sure can't..

My question is for your store pre order were you able to cancel it in store or were they able to do it for you over the phone??

My local best buy has the phone and I can get it now if I can get this damn in store pre order canceled
