The STAY AWAKE iPhone 5 Thread

[Stangs55]

you have 30 days, and it requires a genius bar appointment. sucks because i couldn't figure out how to add it on the app, but didn't want to wait too long and have it start timing out.

Requires an appointment? Really? Whatever the deuce for?

All other AppleCare's I've purchased you just buy the box, input the code, and you're done...

It went thru on Apple site using Safari on my macbook. GO!

is there any other way to preorder it tonight instead asking for the number tmr morning?

 

[LoneWolf121188]

anyway to change the shipping address when ordering from the app store?

I haven't been able to figure this out either. Trying ATT, but their servers are getting hit hard...

 

[aeh8497]

Got Mine! I was refreshing in Safari, wasn't working, tried Firefox, worked like a charm! Arrival date: 9.21! Can't wait!

 

[WakeUpDrunk]

I didn't port my lines when I ordered two phones.. the reason being is because one line is ATT and the other line is Sprint (I ordered 2 verizon 5's)

I'll still be able to get them ported when I receive the phones right?

 

[Surely]

Yes. I stopped when I saw that and waited for the Apple store to come up. Over at Apple, all my existing services grandfathered in properly.

Last year I lost my discontinued texting plan thanks to AT&T's screwups, wasn't gonna fall for it this time. (A phone rep at AT&T got the plan back for me, at least.)

It doesn't look like my existing service was changed. It still says "data unlimited", but twice (sort of).

I'm not worried, it'll get clarified and/or fixed.

I managed to preorder 2 black iPhone 5's on Verizon's site **** yeahhhh

 

[bitcloudrzr]

2 32gb white, 3 16gb white, 1 32gb black and 2 16gb black all unlocked pre-ordered.

 

[Dallious]

anyone else get a message that thet couldnt get thru to att so they reserved me a phone and will email to complete it

 

[splashnader]

What the hell was the point of that stupid count down on ATT website, when it now 33 minutes past the count down ended and the store is still loading.

Same with me last year. But I got it back.
No issues this year. All went through ok at apple.com.

 

[DMHmac]

2 32gb white, 3 16gb white, 1 32gb black and 2 16gb black pre-ordered.

Wow, that's a lot. Who are they for?

 

[marcello696]

went to pre-order and got a message that they could not contact the carrier (ATT) and my iPhone has been reserved and I will get an email from apple when its available to order.

I have an Order number and going back into the system it says I have a reserved phone, guessing Im good to go?

to make sure your phone isnt already damaged.

 

[Preds]

done

I ordered online through the Applestore with no problems.

iPhone 5 64GB Black & Slate (GSM) AT&T
Available to ship: Delivers 9/21

Also ordered Apple Care Plus


Had to use my wife's account which was upgrade eligible, thus I'll need to go to AT&T on 9/21 to switch the sims for both phones and retain the unlimited plan on my number.

Nope. Not that I'm aware of. They definitely wanted mine.

 

[wolfpackfan]

Well I'm about to give up and just go on to bed. This is ridiculous. If they say they will be up at 3:00, they should be up at 3:00. It is now 35 minutes late. And here we have this huge Data Center in North Carolina and I can't connect to the stupid Apple Store website.

Apparently not. I had to dig through a pile of crap to find my primary account holders social. Lucky I found it.

 

[bitcloudrzr]

Wow, that's a lot. Who are they for?

Most of them are for ebay, one for myself and one for a friend.

 

[Boe11]

Well you certainly did it right. Bravo.

And to your Texans this season. They're my favorite to win the AFC!

 

[iWallace26]

I already got charged I thought they didn't charge your card until after it ships?

 

[Andrew D.]

FYI I'm sure a lot of you already know... the shipping is linked to your address on your carrier (I'm AT&T and that's what it was for me). So if you have to change your shipping, you have to do it through the carrier site. As of right now. Good luck!

 

[wolfpackfan]

Well on the other hand, any other N.C. State fans out there?

 

[ECUpirate44]

I used a friends account and his upgrade to buy the phone. I ordered using the iPhone app. The shipping address is not his billing address on his Verizon account and I used my billing address to process my debit card... Is my order going to be canceled?
