I have a reservation number for an ATT phone as of 3:45 AM EDT, but no phone. This explanation:

Why am I unable to complete my order right now?
We are currently unable to reach your carrier’s systems to process the information that you have provided. We will hold on to the information you have entered and use it to confirm phone pricing and eligibility for your account.
Same here! I guess maybe ATTs systems can't keep up?
 
I tried doing this through the ATT site but I got the following:

There was a problem with your request.
P1234: We apologize for the inconvenience, but we are unable to support this request online. Please contact Premier Support at 1-866-499-8008 Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern Time for assistance with your request. Please reference Error P1234 if you speak to a representative about this error.

WTF is error P1234....?
 
Sprint iPhone Preorder

Checking eligibility on Sprint account (via Apple website)....
---
Account type not supported.

We’re sorry. Your account type is not supported. Please contact your Sprint account manager or call *2 from your Sprint phone in order to verify your eligibility and complete your iPhone purchase.

That isn't funny.
1) I have a family everything data plan.
2) The phone I am trying to upgrade is eligible, we have been waiting for the iPhone to come out to upgrade.
3) Calling *2 sends me to Sprint's website
4) Sprint's site: This section of the site is temporarily unavailable.
 
When do you think Sprint's site will be up and running again? I believe everyone over at Sprint is sleeping and won't get a clue about the website being down until well into the day tomorrow.
 
I picked my data plan and I've been on We are currently experiencing high volumes and may require up to 1 minutes to process your request. for like 10 minutes.
 
I just bought on ATT

First: UPDATE YOUR BILLING ADDRESS
Second: Start upgrade process. ON left, there is a filter. CHECK SHOW PREORDER
Third: LEARN MORE about phone you want, select color and add to cart on learn more page.

Proceed.

Yay.
 
I keep getting this on that AT&T link

Nothing is working for me.

These company's have billions in revenue yet can't maintain heavy site traffic! Still love Apple but I'm getting tired and I really don't want to wait 2 months to get a 4S like I had to wait for my iP4. :(
 
I think the apple is trying to verify through sprint, and the sprint servers are overloaded.. therefore not working... :(
 
Unlimited data

AT&T's site trying to strip my unlimited data plan...

screw that...
 
AT&T worked

I tried on Apple for almost an hour, went on AT&T and it took me about 30 seconds, already have the confirmation email

They don't strip your unlimited plan, you'll still have unlimited it's just a billing thing - they offer you Unlimited for $30/month (which is what you're paying now). They don't even offer unlimited usually, Sprint is the only one now. So just accept it and re-add the "unlimited" plan
 
Seems like every time I have to start over, the less progress I make before having to start over again.
 
On APPLE's site I am getting "Your request couldn't be processed." message after checking eligibility. But I was able to get through this the first time I tried and went through all the way to select the message plan, but then it got stuck.

On ATT's site I am getting the P1234 error after selecting the phone I am trying to upgrade. I am wondering if this has to do with being a premier member? When I ordered my 3GS 2 yrs ago I have to do it on a special premier site, any other premier member getting this problem?
