Same boat as you. Ordered at 9am EST oops

What did your tracking say? Mine said "by 12". When it didn't arrive, I called and they said "by 1:30". It's almost 1:30 so I checked my tracking again and it says "by end of day". What kind of guarantee is that?? Might as well have said "whenever the hell we want".

Mine said End of Day but I got it delivered by UPS around 11:30am. It'll be there soon.

BTW, went to the Apple Store in Burlington had the weirdest experience in getting a nano sim. I have to give them the cell phone number for each nano sim that they are giving me. Anyone else got this experience?

 

[skaclown]

where in Laval? I'm in Ste-Dorothee in Laval and still waiting
also let me know where you find a sim please

In Laval-des-rapides, I'm headed to the apple store at le Carrefour, if they don't have one in stock I should be able to find one at the many retailers there!

Same, where abouts are you in Toronto?

Bay and College

 

[mixedup]

Anyone know if you can switch to the nano-SIM/activate LTE on Rogers online?

 

[Prabz26]

who in GTA has gotten their phone?

nope, I went there and ask for it. They didn't even check my invoice.

Same here, Toronto, Apple.ca

I'm downtown Trinity Bellwoods Park area (Queen w & Strachan). Nothing yet.

 

[Daz-o-matic]

Delivered!

Telus/16gb black/Vancouver/ATS

 

[fredericroumi]

****! That means even if I go get my sim I won't be able to activate it? Hope the outage doesn't last too long...

I guess not...However the rep explained that the outage should not last that long...My fingers are crossed!!

 

[Scumfrog]

Dang, got the purolator notice on my door for my iphone. I can pick it up after 5pm today though so no biggie.

Toronto - Telus preorder

Still waiting. So annoying.

I'm waiting in line to chat with Fido support online. I have the same question, switching from a non LTE micro-sim to a LTE nano-sim. I want to know if I can do it online and if it is effective immediately.

 

[iMag]

Call UPS, and demand the driver turn around, that's what i had to do before!

I called them and they will try to delivery it later today. I just need to wait for a few more hours...

 

[red4life]

I just modified my Virgin Mobile sim. Works perfectly.

 

[joshualee90]

OMG i live in a condo and apparently the first attempt was made! There is always a security gaurd there that will sign for it! wtfffff

 

[dev1ant]

Anyone tried exchanging their black iPhone for white by chance? Kind of feeling remorse for ordering the black model now.

 

[Opus00]

He even wanted my account number with the carrier which I don't remember anyways. Why does the same Apple Store have different procedures?

Anyhow, going to setup my new shiny new white iPhone 5 soon. Hope it doesn't scratch like the black ones I'm seeing in some other posts.

I believe you can yes

 

[zaidmc]

Just arrived 11:05 local time (Black 64)
Edmonton (Millwoods!!)
Through iPad app
Ups tracker did NOT have it listed as out for delivery, just listed "arrival scan" in Edmonton.

So if your ups tracker doesn't have info try not to sweat it!!

Also asked UPS guy and he said it wasn't that much busier, so deliveries should be at usual times

Sweet. He's prob on his way to my place. MillWOOOOODS!

If you got it from apple shouldnt be a problem, they will exchange.

 

[mike57]

Anyone from the maritimes receive anything from Telus? I JUST got my tracking number today and the last update was that it Left Mount Hope, ON at 12:35am last night. It's being shipped through Purolator.

now you're making me worry too. I live in a condo too. usually the concierge will sign the package for me.

Received my iphone at 12.10pm today. I was going to go out to Virgin Mobile to buy a Nano sim, but decided to try and modify my micro sim instead. It works perfectly.

From Fido Online Support:
1:25 PM Mark :
You can activate a new Nano SIM online or I can activate it for you. It would be activated on the spot, essentially burning your current SIM.

1:27 PM Mark :
You current data option is already LTE compatible, as is our network, so all you need is the compatible phone and SIM card. You will be all set.
