Try calling the number *6737# to get the text update. That is the one that is showing back ordered for me. The status online still says preparing to ship.
does it matter what option you pick 1 2 3? I always use 1 and zip
 
I just spoke to live chat to see if they could give me a date of shipment. It said 9/23-9/30 but live chat told me it won't be shipped until 9/30. I'm hoping they are wrong.
 
I'm getting super pissed. Where in the hell is the 7+ 256's in Matte Black at!!!!!! WTF ATT!!!! Same thing for over a week. Order manager says Preparing to ship, Order Status summary says Processing and Pending Shipment. Text message says in progress. No movement, no back order nothing but agony and a unicorn with dead hopes. Other carriers have shipped out this version but AT&T seems to be not getting any allocations of this phone.
My exact sentiment. I'm so pissed. It makes no sense at all. I would feel better if we saw some movement
 
Everyone that says backorder now. Let's all hope we see some action!!!!!

I'm glad this is how i'm spending Saturday night lol.

Just a sudden surge of 128 MB+ being shipped! Also people having back order statuses!! Something's happening for sure!! Those planes coming in this weekend leaves some good hope! Now if only my status would change too :p
 
And everyone freaking out about the 7+ 256GB - those are the hardest to find period. No one has them - I went to the Apple store to get some other things and inquired and they said those are not around at all and the store in LA is a pretty big store. They said they have seen zero 7+ 256 models.
 
How is back order a good sign? That means they are waiting on phones and don't have them in stock. When the first 6 plus came out there were a lot of back orders and there shipping dates that came and went and they still didn't have their phones. I am confused as to how this could be a good sign.
This has been a consistent trend in this thread, as I've been monitoring; people who got "backordered" got their shipping information shortly after, so it's a good indication. Besides, at least att is trying to communicate :p

Spoke with an AT&T chat agent. I explained that there has t been and update in 10 days. The roboagent proceeded to give me the same info I've had for the last week. I decided to roll the dice. Told them I am so upset that I am thinking about taking my business elsewhere.

The sheer lack of giving a damn is amazing. I give up. I'm never preordering again.
