Same issue but on Verizon's site it says if you pay full price no activation fee will be charged. I'll wait and see but if I do get a charge I'll make sure it gets reversed. I should add I didn't get charge for the fee upon completion of my order.
Got a tip for us?

Did T-Mobile charge you a $15 "upgrade fee"? I ordered an unlocked AT&T one and the $15 fee surprised me. If T-Mobile doesn't penny-pinch like that then next year Im moving to them!
I went and ordered mine on the Verizon site as it was up before the Apple app was ready. I have a Space Gray 128GB 6+ coming. The interesting thing was that Verizon was selling the Apple protection plan still at 99.95 instead at the new price. I jumped at that one real fast. Delivery on 9/25 with a verification email at 12:08 am.
Unfortunately you will be waiting for ever. I think it is safe to say that it will never happen.
looks like ATT store is my only option!I just got my Silver 128Gb 6s+ via T-Mobile CS after a 40 minute hold. It was pretty painless. I signed up for Jump on Demand on the spot and was done in about 10 minutes. Only the Apple Store iOS app worked. I was able to place phones in my basket with little delay. Apple.com was a no go on the other hand.
Ordered through the iPhone Upgrade Program...kept getting the "Update Apple ID" page, took me 30 minutes to finally realize I had to change my Apple account password, now I've got a 64GB Space Grey 6s Plus reserved for me after work at my local Apple Store (New Orleans) on 9/25!
I forgot about the drop once the new iPhone hits the stores. You could be unscrupulous and sell your old iPhone as a preorder to avoid that $50 hit(I don't expect it to drop $100). If you had at least a couple people on your line, it would make more sense to resell. If the money saved means that much though, you probably should wait a couple years and just buy used. This is why the upgrade program is so successful though and also why people keep broken phones in their drawers.
But you can get introductory JOD pricing at T-Mobile and save $160-$200 off the price of the phone...
I ordered directly from AT&T to create a new account but don't mind if I don't receive them on launch day because I will be receiving a total of $600 credit for porting 2 numbers and trading in two used phones that have little resell value.
Was anyone else really peeved that they couldn't reserve an iPhone for a later date under the iPhone Upgrade Program? Thanks for giving me one day of availability Apple for when I need to drive 120 miles to the nearest store! I was hoping to make a family trip to St. Louis to visit the zoo when I'm off on October 1st but I guess not. Already have plans for the 26th in town so I have to rush to St. Louis and back after work that Friday.
I could be patient but I've already locked in a trade-in for my old iPhone to get a decent price so I need to get it out the door or I'll be without a phone for a while. At least with this new upgrade program I won't have to worry about that any more. I'm also completely done with this giant 6 Plus and can't wait to get the smaller size! This phone has been a lemon too. It can't get rid of it soon enough.

Preordered 6S+ Gold through AT&T Premier. Got into the website at 3:00 EST, shipping time was already Oct 13-26th. What, did they not get any in? Even worse, wife's order crashed before checkout, and we never got a confirmation for her. So now, AT&T site is working, but Premier seems to have crashed, and because we have a corporate discount, we can't just use the regular AT&T site. Ugh.
I upgraded 2 lines, one over the AT&T website and one through the Apple Store app. I paid nothing ($0) for the AT&T order (iPhone 6, 128gb) but had to pay taxes on the Apple Store purchase (iPhone 6+, 128gb). I'm assuming I'll pay the AT&T taxes on the next bill or something?
Similar thing for me on $40 one-time upgrade fee and full price phone. Even worse, Verizon's site wanted to change my Unlimited Data Plan to 2gb. Apple at least let me keep my unlimited data. So I'm ordered for 9/25 delivery via Apple Store App with a confirm email that says full price phone, unlimited data, $40 upgrade fee. Will have to make sure I don't get charged the $40.
Really? I didn't have to do a text code or anything for my reservation. Although, it reserved two phones for me instead of one. haha. I tried the 6S Plus 128GB black and it said it wasn't available, so I did the silver. Then I got a confirmation email for both. haha.
I saw the same thing on Verizon. They must not have gotten the word. Or they like to give away money.
We shouldn't get charged, I would be really upset at Verizon if we were. I think it's just a glitch.. hopefully!
I ordered two 64 GB Space Greys from AT&T. Ship days for both of them is the 24th. That probably means I won't get them till later but that's ok. Also their website was such a pain in the butt tonight.
If it does, contact Verizon and they will take it off your bill. It happened to me once.
It should as long as you get the contract free T-Mobile version, it comes unlocked.
Did you order through Apple? I think the 2-year contract option (for AT&T) is only available through att.com.
