You would only be paying the amount it costs to add a line (for my plan, $15, for yours probably $20). The phone is actually unlocked, so you are free to switch carriers, though an ATT iPhone can only connect to TMobile.
So I could then do the apple upgrade program! ATT lied to me. Thanks for the reply. I had a grandfather plan but then my parents got the 6s on next and they screwed up my plan. I pay for my line. And I'm trying to find the best way. It would be nice to have apple care and pay monthly for it

[doublepost=1474216616][/doublepost]Just went and searched around and there it was. A few other stores have it also. I'll just cancel my preorder when I get there.

Ok. This is weird. I, like most of you ordered first thing on 9/9. I ordered an iPhone 7 128 JB. Order was completed at 3:05 am EDT per a confirmation email. Then, later that morning I got another email stating that my order was completed at 2:52 am EDT, like many of you. The shipping date was listed as 10/14 - 10/21. Crap!!!! So, I've been following it like all of you and watching the board. Nothing!!!! This morning, no change, but I decided to check UPS shipping with "track by reference". It found a shipping!!! On the UPS site it says:
Scheduled Delivery Updated To:

AUSTIN, TX, US, Friday, 09/16/2016


Wow. You may want to try that. Go to "Ship by Reference" and put your phone number in. Good luck!!

AT&T website still show Preparing to Ship and 10/14-10-21 shipping.

Time stamp of 2:53, ordered 7+ 256 JB. just checked ups, no luck. did you type in your number with no dashes or space??? My friend ordered the same phone as me through apple 10mins after i got mine through At&T and he's getting his phone tuesday.

Is this only go apples upgrade or can you use next?

As far as I can tell Apple's program only. Only price they give.

Of course they have a 128 Plus black near me but not paying $5/month more for Applecare I dont need; nor do I want to get screwed with Apple's program next year or have to go into a store to pickup.

I find this hard to believe. Literally no one who's ordered through AT&T has their phone number as a reference number. That's only happened for Apple orders.

Next program
 
Just got off the phone with AT&T a second time. We were able to get deeper into the account and she said I should be seeing shipping confirmation either tonight or tomorrow to have my phone by Wednesday. Matte black 128GB 7+ers, do not give up!
Which customer service number did you call? Any time I've called, the reps who deal with me never act like they have any idea what they're talking about and consistently give me scripted answers. They don't try to look into anything for me.
 
AT&T just called me, currently still on the phone with "Nate" my order is ready to go, but their "system glitched on the 9th" and he needs me to accept the terms and conditions; which I just did and my order immediately went through and was provided immediate tracking. 7+ 256gb Jet Black. I'm pleasantly surprised that AT&T caught this and called me.

Screenshot to confirm?
 
Someone please post a pic of text from att that shows back ordered or shipped.

I'm jealous, just got to see one!
 
i just did an "apple reservation" search online. checked maryland, Pennsylvania and virgina. norfolk virginia actually has stock of an at&t black 256 plus. they were the only store out of all 3 states. most stores had verizon availability for plus phones. not sure how or why verizon gets priority but they definitely have more phones than at&t

Next program

I dont think they were supposed to. You mightve gotten lucky. Seems that stock is only for Apple Upgrade people.

If you go through Apple.com and select buy for an ATT 128 Plus black it says store pickup not available at all at checkout.

Well I have a confirmed reservation to pick up my next plan AT&T MB 256 plus for today. Which I placed the reservation a few mins ago.

I understand that, I went to the link you posted. It only gives you the option for the iphone upgrade program $41 and change per month. No buy full price, no ATT Next.

i think that stock is only for iphone upgrade people only. I would call the store to confirm they can sell it on Next before going.
