my wife got this text today, she received her 128 7+ gold on launch day (ordered 0:36 on 9/9). I'd wager it's either meaningless or it was sent to everyone who shipped or is very close but that's just speculation.
Got a tip for us?

7+ 128 MB is now showing backordered via text. Ordered 9/9. Looks like I might get my phone early after all. (Original shipping dates 9/23-30).

No media is covering what? That people are receiving their phones earlier than the original shipping dates they were quoted by AT&T when they placed their order? What a scandal!!!

Is this a nightly thing or was last night the first night this happened? I actually noticed them starting 10pm EST. I want to cancel my AT&T Pre-order to free up my eligibility but I don't want to miss out on both fronts.
No backordered for me either. What kind of whack system is this?
I think it's good that people are starting to see change in status again but I won't give in to full excitement until these people going back ordered actually get shipment info. Gotta remember, at this point, we all could actually be back ordered.. (Fingers crossed that's not true)
Same thing happened to me. Checked earlier today (*6737#) 12:17 p.m. CST, order in progress preparing to ship. Same status I have had since I placed the order.
Order placed 9/9, 7+ MB 128 at 3:20 a.m. EST, preliminary ship dates September 23-30th
Got the text message about my iPhone 7 plus being on the way, and checked *6737# again, my status is now backorder.
I hope this is a good sign....

I didn't receive the text either - but have eligible devices to trade.
Ordered 2 MB 128GB +'s at 3:11am and 3:34am on pre-order date.
Both with ship windows of 9/23 - 9/30.
Both still say "processing."
Reservations in the DC area were gone in 3-4 minutes last night...

My MB 7+ 128MB just arrived. Good luck to everyone still waiting for their phones.
Possibly I didnt get it either and Att knows my 6 is broken and that I am on my 4S
Pre-ordered the 7 Plus Black 128 GB from AT&T on 9/10 in the afternoon. Expected ship date of October 7-14.
Got a call from Target saying they had one. Canceled my order, went to the store and picked it up. Easy as that, and I still able to do it through Next. Check Target y'all. That's your best bet! Happy hunting.
Oh, and I'm in North Florida.

Also curious... I am using an old Galaxy S6 as an interim device. No trade in and no spam text.
Yes the system is refreshed daily at 12:01am to reflect the latest inventory available to reserve the next day:
https://reserve.cdn-apple.com/US/en_US/reserve/iPhone/availability?channel=1&iPP=U
I am unsure if it is updated throughout the day (like some people don't show up to their reservations).
I went back order at around 2:40 today and have already received my shipping info. It's already been picked up by fed ex and due to be delivered tomorrow
if you want to check realtime update in the middle of the day, this site is more accurate according to some people:

*6737# reports order is on backorder now!! Whoohoo!
7+ 256GB Black with 9/22 - 9/29 shipping dates.

Yeah I'm on that site. Would you be able to help me answer something?
Can I buy a phone online at full price and then change it to AT&T Next when I go into the store to pick it up? Also is it true you can't buy through AT&T next in store?
I got the text at 1 central saying my phone is on the way. Both website and text said inprogress/preparing for shipment.
At 2 central text said backordered and website says preparing for shipment.
So with what other experiences have been I think I'm getting my phone Wednesday or Thursday.
128 + MB. Ordered at 1:59 central 9/9 with 9/23 - 9/30 ship dates.

Why would the back order text be a good thing? Am I missing something???
You would think, but it seems AT&T locks it in as backordered just before it ships. At least for quite a few people this year.
