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

I ordered 9/9 at 12:14 AM (PDT) for 128 GB Matt Black phone. No changes in status since 9/9. This is the FIRST and LAST TIME I ever order directly from AT&T. I've always ordered from Apple and I see why now. Apple ABSOLUTELY delivers to first orders first (FIFO). I am shocked at the treatment by AT&T. Since my 6S Plus is so similar to the 7 Plus, I'm OK with receiving it a few weeks after Pre-Order. I'm glad this is to next year with the 10th Anniversary iPhone comes out the will be so different. So, next year it's back to Apple for the Order. I did it last year and it was fine, other than AT&T losing the returned prior iPhone and trying to charge me for it even though tracking showed their return agent received it. Ultimately, it was found and the charge reversed. AT&T has really let people down.
As to those who have said, "AT&T told us shipping between 9/23 and 9/30, so we should not be upset if the phones don't come before those dates," that would be fine if no Pre-Orders were filled prior to those dates. But, when we see people who ordered hours after our orders receiving their phones prior to 9/23, we have a legitimate cause to be upset.
Enough said: I'm just waiting as the majority of other Pre-Order people are waiting.

I ordered my plus MB 128GB on 09/09/2016 at 3:04:42 a.m. ET
Phone still shows in progress. People who ordered after me already have FEDEX info..
NOT happy at all with this preorder.

I guess the reason is that the phones on the AT&T Next plan are locked to AT&T and they will not be able to lock a non-AT&T phone to their network.
My bad. I scan these posts and it is sometimes difficult to tell what kind of iPhone is being referred to.
JB 7 Plus 128GB... Unite!
.
I guess the forum police haven't been doing their job! Good thing you're on it. Can't have this thread go off the rails due to a technicality! LOL
Guys should check in with att. ordered in store silver 256. they said 3-4 week and ups will deliver tomorrow.
Im not sure their times match, and at this point carrier stock is probably at par or more than reservation orders. I doubt both systems work together.

same here on the *6737# not working, hasn't worked since Monday for me. You getting a 7+ JB 256?
Haha no. I live in Charlotte. I'm in NYC for work, flying back today.
Called. They said as long as you show up the same day it'll still be held. That's cool.
Hey fellow at&t'ers,
I ordered 256gb 7 Plus in Silver on Fri, Sep 9, 2016 at 3:36 AM (EDT).
From the logs below, it appears my iPhone went from Korea, to Louisville, KY, then back over the Pacific to Hong Kong. LOL I'm assuming there's a delay in updating records OR they're messages up with the time zones. BTW, in New York.

Maybe ATT is monitoring these forums full of disgruntled pre-orderers... After I made the statement that if I didn't see some activity yesterday I was just cancelling and sticking it out with my 6 for another year, I went to backorder... Hopefully my order follows the trend of shipping this morning.
Anyone else having problems with the JB and MB?
I keep seeing people say i got 7+JB and I read jailbroken
and then "I got the 7+ 128MB" and read megabytes... Holy crap they shrunk the storage
Anyone else catching their selves on that to?
Yeah...my brain automatically sees the same thing lol I thought it was just me
I will miss my jb currently on my 6 plus tho...oh well
If my phone ever gets here
Well we did order before 9/16 when they shipped so yes technically still a pre-order.
So how often is everyone checking *6737#? I'm embarrassed to say how often I am!
So I really wanted to get the white face this time around but thought the MB looked very nice. I'm stuck, do I wait for my ATT order which is the MB or pick up the silver with the white face today at Apple???
My thinking is that I can have the best of both worlds and just put a matte black wrap from dbrand on the back of the silver. Your thoughts?

don't worry. am right there with youSo how often is everyone checking *6737#? I'm embarrassed to say how often I am!
For Review:
256 Matte Black's and Jet Blacks Iphone 7+ still have not shipped for anyone, No indication, (other than a text that trolled everyone from ATT) Everyone is still in progress, including those who preordered on 9/9.
128's are shipping on a regular basis but no order and no rhyme or reason to who gets one.
If you're ordering from apple, expect to get your phone much sooner, or any other carrier for that matter. If your lucky, your apple store may have one in and you may be able to reserve it for pickup.
