When you order goes to backorder, do you get notified via text or email? Or you will only know when you check order status online?
Got a tip for us?

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

I literally cannot check the order status from my phone. Doing the text method yields no results. Going to their garbage website yields a blank page when checking order status. When I click on "full site" since their mobile site is clearly terrible it just stays on the mobile site. AT&T sucks a giant bag of dicks.
Ordered on 9/9. But ported two numbers, so order showed 9/11. Ordered MB + 128GB. Original Delivery window was 9/23-9/30. They moved it back to 10/14-10/21 about a week ago. Decided to write a program that will notify me when a iPhone becomes available. It worked! I got a Silver + 128GB last night! I like the white casing. Thought I would post the Python code if anyone wants to edit it and try it out. WARNING: Code is horribly written. I am not going to debug it for you, or tell you how to run it. It is for those who know what they are doing.

Hopefully it will be good, still excited! Have case will travel 
Yeah a few of us are getting that, did you have another phone in your order that was already delivered?

I'm really getting the itch now. Being a stay at home dad for now really sucks because working get my mind off my toys,
Mine still says in progress boo
[doublepost=1474979774][/doublepost]2 MD11 scheduled for this afternoon
There were 2 that arrived early this morning as well, hopefully that leads to some order movement late morning / early afternoon.
They have a MD11 landing around 6 something
[doublepost=1474980417][/doublepost]
Hopefully but I'm not even back ordered

I'm hoping there is some apple product on there as well, those planes in particular flight the route fairly often so they could just be normal UPS legs with various freight.
Im not backorder either and I knocked my phone off the counter this morning and now the bluetooth and 5Ghz wireless band do not work...makes my iWatch pretty flipping useless. I really want my new phone now.
Still stuck in processing on the website. Although yesterday one of the CS at the 866 number used the word 'backorder'.
