i meant unlocking it for use with ATT. its only allowed to be use for tmobile in US and unlocked in other countries

Hey I am just trying to get a strait forward answer to my quest can you provide some insight? I am an att customer, I wanted to pay full retail, did not see this option. I purchased the t mobile unlocked one. Now is this exactly the same as if I went to the att store and paid full retail or do i need to cancel my order. I just wanna put this phone on my current att plan/contract.

its not unlocked for ATT. just tmobile and international carriers. i verified it with customer service.

There are screenshots of customer service agents saying the opposite. My order says unlocked and I paid full price. If it's not unlocked, I'll just return it, but I think it's safe to assume it will work just fine on AT&T.

the unlocked noting means its unlocked worldwide. the only US carrier it will work for is Tmobile. end of discussion.
 
No in store pickup for the iPhone 5s at Apple or the carriers.

I ordered from AT&T; ships within 7 days, though past history tells me I'll have it by Tuesday
 
Gold 16 gb AT&T.

Shipment 1
Available to ship: 7- 10 business days
Delivers: Oct 8 - Oct 11 by Standard Shipping

Got my confirmation email 3:08 AM. EST.

I did not see any options as to how I wanted it shipped or I would have picked expedited.

AT&T moved everyone to prioirty shipping for free
Expedited only means overnight from the time it ships. If it ships Oct 9th, you get it the 10th.

cool thanks for the info, that sucks though! guess I will be canceling my order now.

why does the apple.com not allow for full price purchasing?
 
getting the same error. bill is paid off so no idea why its saying that. very frustrating

Apple could not confirm my AT&T account, so couldn't order. Apparently I don't exist even though I've been with them for 10 years. Ordered direct from AT&T, no problems.

I was getting the same AT&T errors as you on apple.com. Finally gave up and ordered through AT&T directly but the ship times are so much longer :(

To get applecare+
At an Apple Retail Store (requires inspection of your iPhone and proof of purchase)
By calling (800) 275-2273 (requires you to run a remote diagnostic and provide proof of purchase)

You'll get it much earlier than what they promised. They have them ready to ship today.

i am trying to buy my att phone at full retail from apple, how do I do this?

Not an option. Must purchase from AT&T directly.
 
Same here also, nice job AT&T !

Using both the Apple Store app, and on apple.com

"There seems to be a problem with your AT&T account. If it continues please visit an Apple Retail Store or contact AT&T at 1-800-331-0500. We're sorry for the inconvenience"

Right now i cannot order due to some issue on their side, I've been eligible for an upgrade for months, so nothing wrong with my account as such.

For both of you, do you have a past due balance for your AT&T bill? That will do it.
 
Got 16g gold from VZW, ship by 9/24. But the status is still "We received your order and it is in process. " How about you guys? Please let me know if your status change
 
Finished with AT&T online at 3:08 and Radio Shack called at 10:15 this morning! Radio Shack comes through 2x in a row on release day!:D And I was # 2 in line.:eek:
 
Does anybody expect their iPhones to ship today? Obviously this question only applies to those of you who were quoted 1-3 day ship times. While the weekend would certainly slow down many companies when it comes to shipping purchases, I doubt it effects Apple, especially during a launch. Historically, my purchases from Apple have arrived earlier than the quoted delivery time.
 
just placed my order and got this from the Apple site
even allowed me to pay extra to change my shipping method for the 2-3 business days

Processing Items Available to ship: 7- 10 business days
Delivers: Oct 7 - Oct 10 by 2-3 Business Days

:eek: :confused:

I got that at 3:06 this morning...
 
Was just able to get Apple to refund/waive me the expedited shipping I had originally chose, while still having expedited shipping on my order...
 
Ended up doing similar, on the Apple store it would not verify correctly with AT&T, I was eventually able to log onto the AT&T store, so I ordered from there instead.

64GB Space Gray

I would have preferred to order form the Apple store, but I have no idea what was going wrong with them and AT&T...

So question, how does one add Applecare to the phone ?

If there's not an Apple store near by you can call them and add it. Closest store to me is +2 hours.
