Carrier iPhone 7/7+ AT&T Pre-Order Thread

[Ronnoco]

i no longer even have an authorization on my card after it fell off last week. Lol. What a clown show these guys are.
[doublepost=1474347899][/doublepost]

When I obtained my phone from the Apple Store today, the Apple employee asked me if I wanted to trade my phone in for the $650 credit. I declined because I had a standing offer from a company that purchases used phones.

I'm going to go that route as well, or put it on eBay.

 

[adamneer]

Phew, only $190 for my 6+. I'm just gonna trade it in to Apple tomorrow for $225. Not in the best condition to sell on craigslist and deal with those fools.

Ah it says it won't match the $650, I'm sure its close to what Apple is offering anyways.

There is no way to change the phone I just got from the Apple program to the ATT one is there?

Glad you told me this. The "up to" language is tricky. My pristine 6+ is only worth $170.00 to them. No way.

it says "up to" because the maximum "free" iphone they are offering is the 32gb base model. However, if you ordered one that costs more, like a 128gb plus, you still get $650 via the trade offer. That's why there is a special promo code to input. Ignore the value they list on their trade in page.

When I text the ordr number I get backordered...when I check order status on 2 different websites I get PFS and "processing"...WHICH IS IT AT&T?!?! I'm gonna assume the best and that is that my will ship soon because of the back ordered status

Be looking out. Mine went to "back ordered" status via *6737# and shipped not even an hour after. I was never notified by fedex and I wasn't notified by att until 5 hours later.

^^This, plus if the device is paid off early or you trade it in the monthly credit stops

I just noticed it a few hours ago! Will sleep on it and check in the morning! If nothing happens by morning I'll give it until Tuesday night and if nothing then I'll lose hope

So you really have no idea what your phone is worth? Because when you put the code in the value says $0 since they have a evaluate it. So they could come back and offer you like $200? I doubt my 6+ would be $650, the same as a 6s plus.

Huh? You have to use the promo code listed in the link. It should say $0 but you're getting paid $650 over the 24 month period (I don't think it carries over if you trade in your iPhone 7 next year but $325 for a year is still a sweet deal)

By up to $650 they mean as long as you use the device with ATT for 2 years they will give you $650 through the 2 year period.

 

[adam044]

Confusing. I'm just gonna go to ATT tomorrow.

I liked contracts so much better. Cheaper, and I would make money every year selling my old iPhone.

They adjust the promotion value after they receive it, and spread the $650 over 24 months as bill credits.

 

[adam044]

Is there a way to cancel the Apple Care on the phone I got?

 

[hpman247]

Which sucks b/c if you trade in for the phone next year, you don't get the full $650. That's how they're gonna "get" people.

I will trade in my phone in person in the ATT store just to be sure.

 

[ColoWolf]

So if I try to reserve it at an Apple Store they won't let me do the next program??

 

[iDrummer3]

You won't have to call att to activate but they will still charge you! Just call and complain and others have reported they will reverse it.

What would they charge you for?

They did not let me do it.

Yeah, that is really bugging me. I'm really hoping for the next iPhone launch, Att will ease up on the policy to get more iPhone sales.

Hey folks just wanted to share Apple is offering regular pickups at some stores. I had originally tried to preorder through apple a Jet Black 128. I cancelled that order but couldn't order again I assume because of the terms & conditions thing but the att app worked no problem.

I was planning to try the reserve link that was going around tomorrow. On a whim I was messing with the Apple Store app. And I found available phones near me. Maybe some other folks will be able to snag a phone from their local store. I knew I should have just stuck with Apple. Especially the way att botched the 6 launch.

 

[DrHazmat11]

I feel like AT&T has completely forgotten about my order..... I ordered on Sept 9.... and someone who ordered on Sept 13 just received shipping info.... for the exact same phone..... why...... I call and they say nothing is wrong with my account or my order yet they keep shipping phones to people who order after me (and even the people who ordered before me)..... Im tired of this **** now.... I was chill and light-hearted about it, but now.... **** that.... GIVE ME MY DAMN PHONE... AND SOME ****IN AIRPODS!

 

[dayvoh]

Been following a while and this is my first post but there are some open reservations in the LA area for tomorrow. AT&T MB+ 128 through the normal Apple.com ordering. Just choose the pickup option and search. Right now South Coast and Pasadena along with a couple other are available. I'll be at South coast at 10am to pick up mine. See you there!
