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

JRS One said:
Spoke with an AT&T employee who said they don't know what caused this mass text or why it went out. But that they are getting a lot of calls about it and are escelating it to find out what happened.

This is from a friend who I used to work with there (I used to work at an AT&T call center during the iPhone 5S launch time frame) and still have family and friends there.

Buddy of mine told me it's not known why it went out, but they got bombarded with calls and are trying to find out. I know this isn't much news or really any news at all. But this is good enough confirmation for me that it has absolutely nothing to do with our orders and those who got the text and later had their status change to back order would have had that happen regardless and this has NO say on when the rest of us will get our devices.

Lol, these guys just have no idea what the heck they are doing. Scheduled maintenance 90 minutes into preorder? Clown Car.
 
Sitting here studying and reading the forums and my phone gets a text from a random set of numbers iPhone moving? Nope... nope there's a wreck in town :(
 
The more and more I look at the matte black pictures the more I like it lol. If i find in an apple store a plus in matte black before my jet black has any movement im switching over lol. Someone else can have my jet black lol!

Ordered mine on 9/11 with estimated shipment date beginning 10/14.

That's why I've been annoyed - if I place an order for the same model on apple.com Right Now, I can even get it delivered one week sooner than this date.

Yeah, I here you. I think I'll stick it out with att though. With all these guys canceling their orders, and with more and more ups planes coming into Dallas, maybe we'll get lucky.

General PSA:

There are 6 UPS planes scheduled to fly into Dallas from Louisville within the next 12 hours, so this might only be the beginning of a big wave of "shipped" statuses(I could only fit 5 of them at a time in a screenshot).

Peaked out of my fox hole and didn't see my Jet Black. Back in it I go

@Ronnoco and I will be holding this thread down to the very last post. That's an AT&T guarantee

Same here. The wait isn't ideal but holding out until that beautiful jet black iPhone is on its way to me. Won't cave for matte black.

Do you guys think I'll get shipping soon? Everyone else is getting shipping info and I've been "backordered" for almost 24 hours...:(

certainly hope so (and thought so in your case) but there are obviously many of us that have been here since the beginning (pre-ordered early on) and among that group a select few have seen a CC charge (myself) or change in the automated texting response status..... in the end for 'many' of us, nothing has confirmed shipped.

Anyone have experience with iStockNow not being accurate? This shows a phone in stock on its map but when I go to buy it, it's no longer available on the Apple store?

Make sure you're using the iUp reservation link and not just the in-store pickup option. (When you get to the store for your reservation, you can pay for the phone any way you prefer - iUp, carrier plan, or outright).

We should've ordered on Friday morning or Saturday afternoon. These people already have their phones. Up is down and down is up in ATT-Bizarro world.

For those with shipping notices from today, has your credit card been charged yet? I assume everyone's hold had fallen off...wondering how quickly they'd charge the card when shipping. I'd think it'd be same day as shipped and you'd see it in your card.

I'm glad there are finally some notices of shipping. I still have zero movement on a JB 7+ 256 ordered XX:04, but am now thinking it should happen soon...

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.

How did you manage to convince them to call you? That would make my job so much easier.
