iPhone 6 & 6 Plus Sprint Pre-Order Thread!

Thank you

I see 128 gb space gray 6+ in Buford right now.

I see another in Duluth.

Both at Best Buy locations.

Yeah, it's a half hour or so from Cumming and I don't know how willing you are to drive, of course, but that would be within my personal drive radius, which is why I suggest them.

Yes I seen the one in Duluth and called the best buy store and asked if they would hold a sprint one for me since I am a elite member but they said they can't , I am pissed because I already have a pre order at my local Sprint corporate store and I would have to go down there first and cancel since I paid cash and would hate to drive all the way to Duluth and then they were all out. I don't know how long the process would take to cancel my pre order.
 
Nope

Best Buy won't hold the phone "it's too popular".

I need the phone number for people threatening to leave sprint because I'm about to. I've just been lied to twice and won't put up with it.

I don't want to wade thru 92 pages to find it either. Steamed.

Call *2 from your phone, press 5 5 2 after it asks what you would like to do, and when someone picks up immediately ask for a supervisor - if they ask why say you're going to cancel, they should then do what you ask. The agents either can't or won't do much but the supervisors and managers will bend over backwards to keep you.

When they screwed up my upgrade date this is what I did. Not only did my upgrade eligibility get fixed but they also offered to expedite a phone for me (it wasn't a 6+ but it was still an attempt to make it right).

You're going through the same crap I went through on Wednesday. The Supervisors can fix your date and will do so quickly if your firm but not hollering at them. Just explain that your eligibility was originally on X date and when you canceled your preorder it wasn't set back, and that you never would have canceled your preorder if you were going to have to wait until October anyway.
 
Yep....

Does this sound familiar?

"Please hold while we see if we can reset your eligibility date...."

(5 minutes pass)

"Please hold while we see if we can reset your eligibility date....we know it's taking a long time but...bear with us.."

(5 minutes pass)

Repeat until sick to death.

Then they eventually claim they've fixed it but it's the same.

Waiting....waiting.

Yeah, it took me well over 2 hours talking to multiple people to get mine done. Others have been faster than mine. Mine WOULD HAVE only taken a half hour if the guy who canceled my preorder actually set my eligibility correctly the first time.

+1 for Sprint. Of course my local Sprint store has no idea about my pre-order. Spent an hour on the phone with employee care because I am on a SERO plan. She called order support and was told that all pre-order done on the 12th was already processed but none of their systems can see any order for me or the store I ordered from, nor do they have any shipment going to the store. The only thing they see is a in-store reservation and the card that I swiped on the 12th. So officially my order is in limbo along with everybody who pre-ordered from the same store. Worse part is I'm on SERO so I can't upgrade at Best Buy or Target.

Are we able to upgrade at the Apple store or is it Sprint stores only?

You can upgrade with subsidy and a 2 year contract at the Apple Store.

If you want easy pay, you have to go to sprint and best buy, not sure about other retailers but I know Apple doesn't do easy pay upgrades.

If you want the iPhone for Life leasing option, you have to go through sprint. No one else does the lease.

If you have a special plan like SERO you need to go through Sprint, otherwise you'll lose the plan.

If you're on SERO the only option is a Sprint corporate store or Sprint.com. You can try to get it done at Best Buy by having them call in and doing a manual contract but the chance of that happening is slim to none. Only Sprint has to access to process any upgrade on a SERO. The Apple store or anywhere else can't even pull out the account.
 
Good Grief!

Phone in hand. Purchased at Best Buy in Oakdale, Minnesota.

I went with 128 gig gold instead of gray since the 3 gray they had sold during all the ridiculous jiggery pokery with Sprint customer service that took literally hours.

Yep, it was some woman's misfingering that set my eligibility date to next week, when all was fixed it was back to July like it was supposed to.

So cross me off the accursed list and God help you if you get stuck in my situation and be persistent, polite and professional.

Probably took a year off my life. Just insanity.

Congrats! Did you idevicecheck for the inventory?

Update on my situation. I called back the local store and asked for the manager. He reassure me my reservation was made. That's right is a reserve not a pre-order, meaning whenever the warehouse decides to send the store inventory then it goes down the list to who reserved first. They really shouldn't even call it a pre-order TBH. The good thing is the manager is allowing me to cancel my order or change it for a regular 6 that they do have in stock. So now I am really thinking of just going with the 6 and get it over with, this phone is really not worth all this back and forth headache.
 
Wow mutha****as at BB are like "oh no we dont have the 6 plus for any carrier until october or mid november " BS:mad:

Im afraid to cancel my order and not be able to find the phone i want :(

This wasn't aimed at me but I'll answer.

Easy Pay, $0 down but you have to pay the tax for the whole $949 so mine came out to $78 and some change (your state and local taxes may be different).

The plan is the iphone plan - simply unlimited at $50/month with an extra $5/month option if you want annual upgrades. Up to you but they DO have the ability to code the correct plan - simply unlimited is usually $60/month but with an iPhone 6 or 6+ we get it for $10/month less.

It took me about 30 minutes or so to do the whole thing. Your mileage may vary depending on how busy your store is.
 
Yes, iDeviceCheck is what insured I got my phone today. Bravo!

Any of you who are experiencing endless delays I recommend you do this.

A friend and I went out to dinner tonight and I helped him get his phone tonight too!

idevicecheck is a freaking godsend!

Thank you so much for helping me with this, I am on the Framily plan which also has the easy pay plan and I live in Ga and I think the taxes is 6 or 7 %. The best buy near me well 22 miles from me has two iphone 6+ In 128 gb, one silver and one gold so they open up at 10am and I plan to come home with one of them, I do have a iPhone + on pre order a 64 GB in gold at my local Sprint but will cancel once I get this phone hopefully tomorrow.
 
I'm currently awaiting my 6+ to come in under the lease program. My question is, which plan would be better? What do you all recommend?
 
Not many received tracking numbers this week. Wonder if this has anything to do with Iphones going on sale in other countries this week.

My first time here, thought I'd just add that I'm still looking for a tracking number too. :( I ordered 16gb space gray, 6plus on the 12th at 10:20 online with sprint. My status says 4-6 weeks. I just need some company.. I'm tired of waiting already.
