Who are you all talking to? I tried getting a loaner and such but they say they can't and I'd have to buy a new phone but I can't do two EIP's on one line.
Ordered 9/19 6plus Silver 64gb. Current shipping date 11/24
I don't think regular CSR's can authorize loaner phones and will basically tell you no or try to get you to go to a store and get a flip phone. ERT has more power but even they seem reticent to give out phones. I asked 2 separate ERT's for a loaner device and the best I got was an offer to sell me a refurbished iPhone 5 for 200 dollars. Then out of the blue I was called by the 3 day response team and when I asked her to get me a device running iOS for my web dev job, she got me an iPhone 5S that is shipping the next day. If I was more insistent I could have probably got her to send me a 6 or 6+ but I didn't want to press my luck and am happy with the 5S until my phone gets here. My best advice to you is escalate to higher levels of customer service, be insistent (especially since you ordered on the 19th!!!), and if you can't get the answer you want then just try again. I opened 3 separate ERT tickets until I got somebody who would give me a device.
