Absolutely! I can't see the front of my house except for one small window. I have that window open so I can hear when a larger vehicle comes up the street. Then I jump up and see what it is that's pulling up or driving by. So far, I've been fooled by 4 school buses and one Fed Ex truck!

Wow, even the UPS Hubs are getting in on the line action for iPhone Launch Day! I think next year, some of us need to get together and camp out at the UPS Hub the night before. 😎

It was funny because a worker came out and said "who's here for iPhones" and pretty much everyone raised their hand. When I left there were at least 20 people behind me.

For the people who are wondering about the address not matching their ID. I brought in a pay stub as well as the tracking paper and had troubles picking up at the hub. They also said if you have the email of the shipping confirmation from T-Mobile they would have accepted that.

I see. I plan to restore from iTunes too. Is it the 9.0.1 upgrade it's trying to do then?

Sorry... I just haven't done all this yet. Looking for a way to avoid the same problem when I set up my phone later today. I wonder if it would work to go through the setup screens, activate the new SIM on t-mo's web site, do the 9.0.1 upgrade, and then as the very last thing, restore my data from iTunes backup?

I'm on the phone with Apple now. It's a known issue with 9.0.0 (which comes on the 6S). They are saying to upgrade to 9.0.1 to resolve, but it keeps giving an unknown error.

I hope they can resolve it for you. Please keep us in the loop! Hopefully others won't need the same info but it's probably a good possibility. 😱

Got my phones! However I'm no longer getting lte coverage I'm my house. I have the signal booster and received full bars on my 5s with LTE but now it's stuck on 4G. Is anyone else having this problem?

Might take a carrier update. You may get a pop up prompt.
 
My bag was pretty beat up, only a couple small dents on the box. Phone is perfect, so no worries. Maybe next year they will use boxes like the other carriers do. This is the first time I haven't stood in line on launch day since the very first iPhone came out.

Well that sucks. I would have assumed they have all of these in their system already. Guess I'll be waiting a couple days before I could use mine.

So, that's it, I guess I'll just put my iPhone 6 in it's old box, put it in the bubble wrap, put the return label on and send it back. (Yes, asked T-mo rep, they only want the iPhone, no cords or anything else.) (not shown in pic: "No special services", "First Class Mail", so just drop in mailbox.

No resolution yet. Apple said maybe the servers are too busy. Best answer - try later. 🙁

So many others playing with their new 6S's...not me.
 
I pre-ordered my Space Grey 128 6s+ on the day it was available for pre-order through T-Mobile website.

I got notification that it was delivered a few hours ago, but I won't be home until Monday to get my hands on it.

Hey you're in Atlanta. Did you receive your phone?
Click to expand...

Yes, I did! Was sitting here backing up my 6+, waiting on UPS when I get a text message that my package was delivered (delivered at 3:45, got text at 4:00). 😱 I go to the door and disrespect enough, they just left the package on the porch without ringing the doorbell or anything. Good thing I don't live in a bad neighborhood.
