My order

I called my corporate Sprint store today to check on my pre order which I did the morning of the 15 th. I ordered the IPhone 6 plus, 64gb in gold. Now they are talking 6 weeks❗️I don't know if I should cancel or what❓ That is crazy I say❗️

I hope that I don't get that responce when I call to check on my 6. I will be out of the country in 6 weeks. It only said a 2 to 4 week wait. So I am hoping that it is closer to 2 weeks and that it comes at the end of next week. I am going to call tonight when I get off of work.
 
Yeah

Just cancelled my order lady said it could take up to 24 hours for my upgrade to show up again luckily i have a back up line and i can upgrade on that one

They told me that too but if they instantly set my eligibility date to october they could also change it to July instantly (which they did). Keep on them and don't let them b.s. you!

For all of you not sure what to do:

Seriously, idevicechecker had it so I got my phone the same day I looked for it, the hard part was bending Sprint's customer service to my will. It took hours so just be firm, polite, professional.

You can get your phone today or tomorrow if you're tired of waiting.

I am still eligible for an upgrade on my line, and since my order is on back order it doesn't even show up on my account and my order number still doesn't show up when I try and do an order search. 6 weeks is a long time to wait for a phone❗️

**I will copy this list to each page going forward so we can see this as a guide. Please let me know so I can update the list if your received some type of confirmation.


**If anyone else received their tracking number or any updates let me know



Although I received my phone, I will continue to update this list and pray everyone here get their phone this week. I will stick by everyone to the end. lol

Here is the link http://idevicechecker.com/ for anyone who want to cancel their phone and pickup at another retailer. Working for a lot of people here.
 
Everyone should cancel preorder! Use Idevicechecker.com! Also many apple stores have 6+ available. No need to wait weeks for pre-order!!

so tempting...but if i dont get from sprint, then i cant use the extra $200 off on top of the contract-renewal pricing...for me (since i got 3 total for my family members), its worth the wait to save $600...good thing my family doesnt really even care if they dont get it (i was more excited than they were)!

i think im still gonna wait but that website is the coolest thing ive seen! any way to get rid of that ad on the bottom of the map? i cant see what other devices it tracks...is it all apple stuff only (since it IS Idevicechecker)?

and for me, the only places that map shows is target for some reason...target would have prolly never crossed my mind if it wasnt for that site!
 
My husband and I preordered the 6+ (he did 128gb gold and I ordered 64gb silver). His phone arrived on Thursday. Kept checking my order number and no updates. So I decided to use idevicechecker and it showed a Best Buy store 1 hour away from me that had a space gray in stock. We hauled it there today and now I'm typing on my new 6+ and I'm so happy!!! Called Sprint on the ride up there to cancel preorder, took 3 reps and 30 minutes but they got it done. My upgrade eligibility took another 30 minutes to reset but by the time I got to the store everything was a-okay.

Thanks idevicechecker!!!

That's checker has worked for a lot of us.. No sense in waiting.. Sprint should be happy we are remaining with them overall.. And not care if we got the phone from someone else.. Who cares about your personal sales or commission.. You should care more about the customer being subscribed with the company as a whole.

Congrats on your phone . I was shocked Target had mine. Never got a phone from there before then. Mostly used Apple or Best Buy in the past.

I would there are phones available at alot of stores now, especially for sprint.

Idevicechecker worked for me as well. I didn't pre-order and I'm so glad I didn't with Sprint lol. I ended up pre-ordering with Best Buy, then I found out about idevicechecker and located the phone I wanted 6+ gold 64gb. Seriously that website works lol
 
FINALLY GOT MY TRACKING NUMBER!. It took me bashing Sprint on Twitter to the point they called me from executive services to try to "expedite" my order yesterday I wake up check my status and there's my tracking number

Looks like I'm going to have to start seriously rattling the cage in order to get any progress. It's clear the local store has no control over anything since I call or drop by every day and surely they're sick unto death of seeing me and would do anything in their power to get me my last phone just to shut me up. Apparently that's what I'm going to have to do with Sprint as a whole. I'm done being treated like a mushroom (kept in the dark and fed manure).

start on twitter keep @sprintcare and let them know how unhappy you are with the service you're receiving and you're ready to go to another carrier and that you want an email to file a formal complaint with sprint corporate that's what i did and after all that bs that they were on backorder and waiting for apple to send more one just magically shows up for them to send to me? they're at best so disorganized that they're losing orders or they are just flat out holding them to get more money
 
If you got a tracking number GREAT! but twitter calling yelling does not get you that. I do not care if you do but do not think that got you tracking cause i have seen people do worse and still not get tracking.

And again i do not like sprint other then my bill works :) it is cheaper and service is okay where i live. But Apple calls the shots the only thing sprint could do better would be to keep people up to date on the shipping but then again they have no idea.

Look up ichecker and see if you have any near you and if so go get 1 and cancel.

That does not work really. It might make you feel better but tracking came cause it was time not cause you yelled. If you do not believe me check Sprints on message boards and there own forums on there site :) people have done worse and still nothing :)

How the heck would holding them make them more money? LOL and again twitter they do not read. nor do they care really about it. And the tracking again showed up cause they get phones in each day. Good luck.

that may be true but it just seemed kinda funny that as soon as i did that and got that call from "executive services" that after being told REPEATEDLY like everyone else has that its still on backorder that my phone just magically pops up and is on its way. If it weren't for the fact that one of the phones i preordered already came in i would have just accepted that fact that i was gonna have to wait , but my thinking is if they sent that one so fast(i received the first one on the 23rd) they had the other and my order was in limbo somewhere. So while it may not make your phone magically appear I say stay on sprint's case if for no other reason than to make sure they remember you when that order comes up

My wife's 6/64g came in on launch day and I picked up a 5c for my mother in law at the same time, expecting my phone to arrive within a couple of days, now I've got a bill coming from sprint and a bill still coming from at&t because digging up a 6+/64g seems to be impossible.

you might idevicechecker like everyone else is doing and see if you can find one then cancel your preorder. I didn't have that luxury as all the stores in my area( i live in virginia) are legit sold out of 6+ so my only plan was to wait and bash sprint until something happened which it did. I also believe the reason everyone is having such success with idevicechecker is sprint is sending out the phones that are coming in to stores instead of to the people that preordered first so that they can get those walk-in customers.

idevicechecker almost got me fixed up but by the time best buy sorted out their confusion and I got back over there they were sold out. The apple store shows some pluses in stock but I want to do easy pay and frankly the sales dude at the local sprint store has been more than helpful and if he gets any kind of commission out of the deal I don't want to screw him out of it.
 
I was going to call last night and let Smoochies know if I had a status on my phone. I didn't get time because after work I had to go get food. I am hoping that they have an update for it to come sometime this week. I ordered my 6 on the 18th and I used device checker and no one has the gold one in my area so I can't even cancel and pick up anywhere either. I just want my phone by now. LOL!
