Got a text saying this

"Free T-Mobile Msg: Great news! We expect your iPhone 6 Plus to be delivered between 9/22 and 9/30. We'll send another txt with a tracking number once it ships"
At least I didn't get pushed to October I'm good
 
I am pretty angry. I haven't gotten a text, email or anything. I ordered at 7:30am EDT over the phone; paid for expedited shipping, and they charged me yesterday!
 
Just looking at peoples results looks like the 6+ 64gb was in the shortest supply compared to the amount of orders received.
 
I don't get why I haven't gotten an email.
I ordered on 9/12 at 12:30 AM PST and signed the EIP rite after I got off the phone.
Err :(
 
I'm a new customer. No jump. Ordered on 9/12/14 at 4:47AM. Just got an email saying I'll get the phone on Friday. Header said "update on your iPhone 6 pre-order."
 
I think the emails are tricking in... I doubt that can send them all at once. Hopefully you will get yours soon bearing good news!
 
Still in the void from T-Mobile as to when anything will arrive, but at least I'm not alone! :)

I'll be pleasantly surprised if they come on Friday, but for now I'm just bracing myself that it'll be 1-4 weeks. The only real bummer is that I'll have to keep paying Verizon for every day that I haven't switched.
 
YESSSSSSSSSS I just got the email Ive been waiting for!!!!!

Dear Chris M****,
Thank you for your iPhone 6 Plus pre-order. Great news — you should receive your device on Friday. We will send another notification once your device ships, which will include tracking information. We are extremely excited about the iPhone 6 Plus, and wanted to make sure you are up-to-date on the status of your order.
Sincerely,
T-Mobile Customer Service

Yeah. So when we ordered our phones the texts we are receiving were set to be sent automatically. Meaning they weren't placed and sent today. They were placed on the day we ordered and set to send today.
but if they say Friday delivery, it still should be good.
 
I'm so pissed about the randomness of Friday delivery. There doesn't seem to be ANY rhyme or reason to it. Considering leaving Tmobile because of this.

I don't want to be offensive, but this is plain silly to me.

For any new customers switching from verizon, just got this email concerning my iPhone 6 Plus Space Gray 16GB Model! Still backordered from robot lady and no update on order status (we don't have mobile accounts D:)

I ordered 4:15 PDT on 9/12, or around 7:15 EST in my area so I should be in the first batch? Hopefully :DD

I received text....now email....so both confirming Friday delivery

I think if you got either of these two messages, then you'd have yours delivered on Friday cause mine says the phone will be delivered in the next 1-2 days while the other confirms a friday delivery.
 
It looks to me that if you got the text message that says your "iPhone will be delivered the 22nd-30th" than your phone order wasn't fully prioritized, but if you got the "send you estimated delivery timing in the next 1 to 2 days" then you have most likely been prioritized, and should expect your phone to come on the 19th.
 
Just got an email that says I should receive my iPhone 6 Plus on Friday. Ordered Saturday morning about 6:30 am. I have lines on my account that have Jump!

What shipping method did you get?
 
Just got this email at 5:56pm CST. Didn't think I'd get it Friday since the original estimate showed next Thursday (the 25th). For anyone asking:

Ordered @ 10pm CST via the T-Mobile site. iPhone 6+ 128GB Gold. New customer non-JUMP with EIP. Paid about $741 with tax for it. Order details screen on the T-Mobile website still shows the same info without a shipping date.

Just called T-Mobile. Turns out all of the texts being sent were set since we ordered our phones. So they may or may not be accurate.
if I don't get my phone Friday I will go insane. I have a text, t-mobile twitter said we would get more shopping info today, so I think that rep may be wrong. Hoping that rep is wrong.
 
I'm thinking Gold 6+ 128GB is probably not as high in demand. It seems like people who ordered before me in Space Gray and 16 or 64GB varieties are getting the 9/22-9/30 text. However, having said that, my friend who ordered an hour after me, same phone, hasnt received a text at all (although he did receive the "backorder" text a few days ago, so we know he receives TMobile texts)

Here's my info again, with some added stuff:


Ordered 9/12/14 Friday @ ~3PM PST (by Phone, signed EIP @ 3:07PM)
Paid for UPS Ground only
New BackOrder status this morning at 3:20AM
Card charged full amount this morning at 10:29AM
Received Friday text at 3:08PM

iPhone 6 Plus 128GB Gold
Non-Jump, but EIP (I never had JUMP, didnt use JUMP, BUT I signed up for JUMP while placing my order on the phone)

T-Mobile customer for 12 years

Status has not changed on T-Mobile page (still shows Backordered) and I havent been able to find a shipping label yet (using zip or zip+4)
Wow, perhaps you are right-- less demand than anticipated for that model (not that they'll have any trouble selling out.)

You ordered several hours after me and we're both non-JUMP upgrades. Kind of funny since gold was so insanely hard to come by last year!
 
It looks to me that if you got the text message that says your "iPhone will be delivered the 22nd-30th" than your phone order wasn't fully prioritized, but if you got the "send you estimated delivery timing in the next 1 to 2 days" then you have most likely been prioritized, and should expect your phone to come on the 19th.

And for those of us that got the text saying it would be delivered on Friday? I'm not sure how you plan that into your thought process above..
 
Well got my email and 22-30 :(

This after I got message from tmobile that shipment should be on the 19th for me the first time due to order timeframe.
