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.
Here it is:

I followed your link and was able to reserve a MB 128+ at an Apple store for pickup later this afternoon!! I gotta watch some NFL before I go LOL. But thank you for that heads up!! I canceled my preorder through AT&T just now. Easily too so I know there was no phone for me on their end. So sad AT&T... You've pissed off one too many people this year.... So much for FIFO!! My order was completed at 12:47PM PDT and tons of people who ordered after me already have their phones in hand! Like what happened?? Good luck to everyone still waiting for theirs! I know your pain! :(:(
So happy I could help. Enjoy your new toy. Leaving to pick mine up now.

Just got shipping notice on 2 matte black 128gb 7 Plus iPhones. Ordered at 2:20 am CST on 9/9. I got the same backordered status yesterday by text lookup that other people got. Does anyone know how quick these will deliver? Do they usually overnight them? I'm wondering if I need to stay home tomorrow. Hopefully the UPS tracking number will update with a delivery date soon.

If you planned to use Next I hope you called the Apple store first before cancelling the ATT order and not based on what 1 person said on the internet without confirming. Im pretty sure that reservation stock is for iphone upgrade program people only; it was the only pricing option on that link.

I have no desire next year to have to go to a store in that debacle to pick up a reserved phone; or Apple screw it up again next year. Not to get this one a few days earlier.

Yes, I'm fine with IUP!

Ah, not I. Not for the privilege to pay $5 more per month for AppleCare and have to go to the physical store next year in that upgrade debacle; not after the way the IUP people got screwed this year either.

Ill wait my few days.
 
You guys, I have great news!

No, neither of my phones shipped, but Fedex finally allowed me to sign up for Delivery Manager with my new address. They tried to give me some bull about you can't use it if you have moved within the last year (don't a lot of "millennials" move every year?) but today finally it gave me the verification questions. But then two of them asked who had lived with me and who had been associated with me and literally none of the names I recognized and unlike other identity verifications it didn't give a "None" option. I just selected at random for those two and it let me sign up. This is a victory, right? Right? Ah where are my phones!

Well you are definitely the first 256gb plus of any color I have seen ship from AT&T. I have been waiting for them to start shipping.


I have only posted a few times here. My ATT iPhone 7 plus 256 GB Silver shipped just now. Ordered 9/9 9:52 am original shipping dates 9/23-9/30. Phone shipped via FEDEX. Order was in back order status most of the afternoon yesterday and this morning.
 
As you don't live in Austin, I don't think it's your phone. Maybe their order number matches your phone #. Or it's some other package with the order number or account number that match. Tracking by reference isn't really that reliable.
Yeah, probably right. Just looking for any reason to be optimistic. Still weird that it was linked to my phone number. Oh well.
 
Anybody from Puerto Rico or the virgin islands waiting for their Iphone 7 plus in this thread? Been here since the beginning and I feel like an outcast lol
waiting on my I7P matte black 128gb - PR area
pre ordered on the 9th at 12:50pm
order preparing for shipping for over a week already, no other movement whatsoever.
estimated delivery for 23-30 september.
 
it is making me so much more upset and frustrated everytime i see someones phone ship that ordered after i did, and their are a lot that ordered before me so i can only imagine how pissed they are!

I was mad, upset, pissed, salty, frustrated, you name it! I hate how AT&T DID NOT go by FIFO. Especially for peeps that stayed up/woke up for that sole purpose...

I just checked my status using *6737# and it's went to back ordered. I'm hoping it's like the others and means it's been shipped. Mine was ordered 9/9 with shipment date of 9/23-9/30 7+ 256gb Rose Gold. My location is Western Ky.
