when ordering through apple? I seem to
remember my sister and I having problems with this during the iPhone 6 pre-order.
 
No you have to ship to billing address on AT&T account I think. I usually change my address to my jobs around this time and then switch back after I get my phone.
 
Won't that prevent your card from going through? Or do you change the billing address with your card & on ATT.com?
 
I know in the past I've ordered an ATT phone through apple and just call later to change the shipping to my home as the billing is my office address.
 
In the past I've successfully gotten AT&T to ship to a different address by calling after I've placed the order. I think that ordering from AT&T as opposed to direct from Apple gives you a better chance of getting it switched. I'm going to attempt it again this year, as I live in a different state than the primary account holder.

I use the apple app and Apple Pay to purchase my phones and I haven't had any issues. Even before Apple Pay the credit card associated with my Apple ID was used without any issues.

So, just to clarify. You're credit cards billing address is still your home address, but your billing address on ATT & the Apple store are your work address?

My billing address on AT&T is my work address. My credit card billing address and address on the Apple Store is my home address. Apple pulls my shipping address from my AT&T account but I guess uses my billing from my apple account? Not sure but I have never had a billing issue using the apple app or apple site to preorder from apple. I've been doing it since the 4 and I upgrade every year.
