I will follow up with you once I get the phone, I will PM you with my findings and some speed test from all over the city..I'm interested in knowing how Tmobile works in San Antonio, both inside and outside the city (band 12 or not). I'm in Cali but my father lives there and I am thinking of getting a phone for him on my tmo account. He's getting old and I worry about him running around without a cell phone. I'm just not sure what t-mobile's service is like in San Antonio. Would you mind posting a follow up on this thread (or PM me) once you've tested it out there? I'd greatly appreciate it!
Got a tip for us?

T-Mobile: iPhone 6S/6S Plus Pre-Order Thread:

I ordered
the same phone on a regular upgrade and it's already movingAm I the only who ordered at midnight on the 12th and still haven't received a charge or a tracking number
iPhone 6S Plus 64GB Silver Jump!
Already chatted with T-Mobile, they said everything is fine, I am still in the queue (processing).
It doesn't make any sense to me why I have to wait so long and I ordered on the 12th. Makes me not want tmobile anymore at all.
So sorry you'r not getting your tracking number first. Come on now. This doesn't even have anything to do with T-Mobile.
I hope that in the end I'll say that all is well that ends well. Credit card got charged yesterday afternoon, but I still haven't seen a tracking number (this is for a 128GB 6S Gold I ordered on Sunday the 14th after repeated calls to fix a mistake in the order). I have a feeling I might get it soon after posting this All in all, I think I could still get the phone on launch day. Let's see.

Actually just talk to t-mobile and they said. On the 12th they had a few problems with the orders. So it does have everything to do with them. I have to wait longer now cause they made a mistake.
It's a bit complicated. Take the IMEI and put it into the site http://iphoneimei.info/. That will give you a serial number. The serial is what you can add to your Apple support profile. Honestly, it doesn't do much for you and I think it will get added automatically once you activate the phone anyway.Can someone explain the serial/imei look up? The number given to me on my updated lease/contract that says 'IMEI' doesn't add to any apple support page and says like:
Production week : -29- (July)
Production year : -2003-
Production number: 2319 (within this week)
When I looked it up on that other site. 2003 can't be right lol. What am I missing here
PS tmo emailed me my tracking officially and the updated contract. I also got 2 texts with the tracking. All stuck at label still.
JUMP v1 = Financing for 24 months, tax deposit, upgrade every six months.
JUMP v2 = Financing for 24 months, tax deposit, upgrade after 50% of device paid off.
JOD = Leasing for 18 months, payoff due at end, no deposit, upgrade three times a year.
JUMP! stands for Just Upgrade My Phone!
Financing and leasing on T-Mobile comes out to the same price. It is not like a car where leasing ends up being an inflated price of the product. Both methods are also interest-free as a courtesy of having wireless service with T-Mobile.
T-Mobile is not doing "overnight shipping," but "expedited shipping." Know this, just so you can set proper expectations for yourself and not get pissed if you see it ship on Thursday and you happen to get it on Monday or something.
From the reddit post:
If you compare the two sets of iPhone 6s/6s Plus, the only different band between the two are 30 (2300 MHz).
My UPS tracking says "Next Day Air Saver" as does most others that have weighed in here.
This isn't true... T-Mobile is using "UPS Next Day Air Saver" and shipping on the 24th for many orders. This is a next business day delivery service, aka "overnight shipping".
That site isn't giving me my serial number. Just my IMEI (which I already put in), and three green links. no serial.
San Antonio TX
6s SG-64g Ordered Within minutes of pre order
6s RG-64g and 11am 9/12
got both tracking numbers already
Me! SG 6s+ 64gb, order on the 13th, charged Sunday, had a shipping number on Monday
All of these T-Mobile web pages and UPS tracking pages have been faked and there's no product. None of us are getting a phone. lol
Congrats I waited until the 15th smh and still waiting Order 6s Plus RG 64gb
New-ish to t-mobile. Ordered two new phones and lines mostly through on-line chat from an airplane using wifi. At the end they called me via VoIP to verify payment information. I did try to order via the website, but it wouldn't let me add the plan I wanted as a new customer with two new lines.
Ordered: 9/15
Ship confirmation: 9/22 (I've got the UPS 1D tracking #, but it's not in UPS system yet.)
The experience could have been better; ideally I would have been able to order everything online. But the online support via chat rep I had was fantastic, very patient (lots of latency from 35k ft), and even waited while I put up a VPN to bypass the firewall so that I could VoIP from the plane and confirm the order. I had previously tried tmobile but canceled over coverage. I'm hopeful that the 700mHz LTE band 12 deployment will solve that problem. My primary carrier is still verizon, but I'm jealous of TM's wi-fi calling and international no roaming fees.
