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. :cool:

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.
 
Yay! Mine arrived finally. And my UPS guy appreciated the Red Bull. He said he's going to be delivering until at least 9pm. Setting it up now. The touch ID is lightening fast, I love it!

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. :eek:

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). :eek: 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.
