So, I called Apple yesterday wondering why my phone has not shipped yet. Basically, they said I had a problem with AT&T failing to greenlight it. They said AT&T interfered due to a payment issue. (Apparently my payment for this month was 3 days late). As you can guess, it is due the 15th. Apparently when it was PFS (the 16th) AT&T said no since my balance was unpaid. The rep said Apple then checks back with AT&T every day and ships when AT&T says it's ok. I can confirm that as of the 19th my balance was paid and AT&T should be green lighting it on either the 20th, 21st or 22nd.
Then the Apple rep says, well, maybe AT&T is still not green lighting it, and I hear the worst noise ever. The Apple reps is looking at my info and goes, "Oh."
I say "what?"
He says that for some reason, Apple has not checked my status since the 17th. He says it should run daily. So he apologized, said they would run it soon, and upgraded me to free 2-day shipping.
I guess that's cool, except I waited so long for the phone to ship in the first place that the fact my bill was paid late halting the device I paid for WEEKS prior is kinda lame. The phone should be here by now.
Oh well, it will be in sometime next week I guess. I just thought I would share.
