I also have an order with yesterday's date that says Various svc that's backordered, weird thing is it's for my line which I ordered the phone from Apple and it shipped yesterday, same date as the various svc order..
My husbands line just shows his still preparing to ship 128+ mb ordered on 9/9.

I am beyond pissed!!:mad:
Went to my reservation this morning to pick up and confirmed that the phone was mine then canceled my preorder and a few mins later was told there was NO way to get a verizon phone on AT&T NEXT!!! Yes you can use a Verizon phone on AT&T, but you cannot buy it on the NEXT plan. He even showed me himself trying to do it and it would not even give AT&T as an option when trying to pay. SO i left without phone and a canceled preorder.
I never should have trusted.:(

Only way you can get the Verizon phone at the Apple store for AT&T is by buying it outright.

The real question is, did they ever have any in the first place

I'm sure Apple sent their launch partners a token smattering of units, with a double shot of the ones that no one really wanted. AT&T is trying to avoid being sued by falling back on a history of ineptitude, vague private statements, and sending a handful of devices seemingly at random. If these carriers weren't so scared they would rat Apple out for contraining their supplies and talking up demand while deciding to not release their shipped numbers.

He's right, if you wanted a Verizon phone to put on AT&T then you have to buy it upfront...this has been discussed here. Sorry to you, but that is how it works.
 
Looks like us 256 MB 7+ people are screwed. I see no movement anywhere.

ATT Distribution is divided into sections and it would appear that the southeast region is the one with the major shortage that i have seen .... at least being short on pretty much all the popular devices. I know some regions have shortages of certain colors or types but i see so many Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Florida posts who are pretty much waiting on all plus models, 256 models and popular colors. Just an observation... It looks to me like the Southeast just hasn't gotten some major shipments. That would make some sense as to why people who ordered after get phones sooner. If they are in a region that was serviced first then they may have stock to fill orders placed today whereas the southeast can't even fill the preorders yet. It might still be somewhat first come first serve but it's probably also first come first serve depending on where you live as well. I might bet my phone before someone else who orders here in Georgia the same model but someone who orders the same model in New York may get theirs tomorrow. These distribution centers dont seem to have gotten shipments divided up correctly by regional demand. Anyway... just more speculation while I wait...

You can't use your friends iPhone chip, because it's tied to his/her account. Read what I written above. Again I didn't ask specifically if they would do a port over this way... so imo you are taking a risk. I've seen others here go in and get the Verizon phone on att next, and next every year with no prob, but haven't seen a port over done. I can tell you though, to have a chance if it working, I think you will need an att sim... so unless apple has some in store you'll need to bring one yourself.

I don't know why anyone thought you could by a Verizon phone on payment thru at&t...I saw where people said you could next and a Verizon phone would work on att but never saw anyone say you could buy Verizon phone on att next payment plan.

Thanks. Call att back and say your order was cancelled by accident. And they will probably be able to give you the same shipping window. If not, im sure you will find one locally.

I'm in the same ship as you. I ordered 3:04am 9/9 a iPhone 7+ 128 Black and got 9/23 - 9/30 delivery dates.
No movement at all. Disappointed that at&t shipped phones to people that ordered way after me.
And the worst thing is that at&t will use USPS to ship the phone to PR.

Apparently you don't know what "IMO YOU ARE TAKING A RISK" means... anyway, you could have still got the phone on Apple credit or IUP.. unless your credit sucks.
