Great news
- You can now delete alerts from the "manage" tab
- We fixed Canada stores bu I don't think you care about that.
It let me delete one alert, however when I try to get rid of other alerts I have they are still there. I get the pop up saying "ok" but no action is made.
Any pluses for AT&T? It's an hour plus drive for me but if I have a shot I might just do it.
I originally preordered a iphone 6plus 64gb gold but didn't like the color. Then I started tracking a space gray 64gb with no luck..None of these tracking websites worked for me. I was fortunate to come across a space grey today but it was 128gb, so I took it...More space than I need but its whatever at this point...
Sigh. The last two days I have been within the first five in line at opening at the Austin TX store. First day, no 6-plusses at all. Second day, only a couple of Verizon ones.
I am switching from contract to Next, so I cannot reserve on the webpage. I was going to try and reserve on contract and switch to Next once I went for pick-up, the manager told me today that too many people are doing this and it is screwing everything up, so AT&T is no longer being quick about re-setting upgrade eligibility in order to throttle Next upgrades going in and reserving.
So back in line tomorrow. Sigh.

Exactly how I felt about getting a 128GB today. It's more than I will ever need, but I was getting close to the end of my exchange period
Trying the same thing at the domain on Thurs. Having to do walkin cause I'm using Next. Did they say anything about how inventorys been? What time have you been getting there to get an ok spot?
Unlocked, so T-Mobile for online order.
I even opened up the spectrum in iStockNow by including the following (all Unlocked / T-Mobile of course):
- iPhone 6 SG 64GB
- iPhone 6 SG 128GB
- iPhone 6 Silver 64GB
- iPhone 6 Silver 128GB
- iPhone 6 Plus SG 64GB
- iPhone 6 Plus SG 128GB
Not a single email yet...
And I'm leaving Houston on Friday for a business trip...
It was the Domain. They said they just don't know and every day is a crapshoot. They also said that you have just as good of a chance hanging around the store all day and periodically coming in to ask what is available. Just as inventory updates online for pre-order, it updates throughout the day for walk-in.
Store opens at 10. I've been getting there about 9 and only 1-2 people are there. BUT there is a group of devout Muslims that is there every morning, and when the line starts, the whole family empties out of the car into the spot in line that's been held by the single family member who was "holding their spot" They all buy two each of whatever is there. Monday I got there at 9 and was just behind them and they snatched up all the remaining gold 128s (6, not 6 plus). Today I got there at 9:10 and they were (just) behind me. When the line forms and they are waiting, they all pull out their 6s and 6plusses to kill the time while they wait. I hope they get stiffed on eBay or wherever they are flipping these things.
If I get blanked tomorrow, I guess I'll see you there Thursday.

I feel your pain. I would have had my phones already if you could reserve next online for pickup. I understand it has to do with credit check but with an old customer eligible for and upgrade it should allow it. Why are we penalized for this option.
Or why can't they just run the credit check during checkout?
Just for kicks, I swung by the AT&T store (at Hwy 183) on the way home from my disappointment. The place was packed. So I asked about iPhones. They said they hadn't had any in store since Day 1. I asked why everyone was there. He said disdainfully, "well, we sell other phones you know." So for kicks, I looked at some of them. HTC has a few with decent build quality, but most of the rest were built like Fisher Price. I just looked at the crowd and thought "they are *waiting in line* for these?!"
Quizz for you : what's listed on this map ?
Well, they aren't SG 6-plusses in 128gb.... so I'll guess: Panera Bread locations?
Wow that's ridiculous and the apple employees let them do that? Guess I'll get there around 830 to get in front of that. I was wondering about it being random through the day. I get the notifications around 1 pm for the in store pickup usually so I wonder if I'm at the store around then I'd have an ok chance.
Well, what can the Apple store do? They are in line with money like everyone else.
8:30 should be plenty of time. Except for Stabucks, the Domain is a ghost town at 9am on weekdays because none of the stores are open. I've been pulling up at 9 and been able to park right in front of the Apple store on that little street that runs down the mall.
I think if you are at the store midday and you get a notice that they are in-stock, you can walk-in and get one.
See you there.
Let me know if you get it resolved. I missed out on a few phones because of this. It doesn't make any sense

Good to know, thanks, I would a been there waaaay too early. Gonna try Thurs morning and if that doesn't work go back around 1 and see what happens.
Thegap77 - the att rep submitted a ticket to their tech team and it will be updated tomorrow. Said they have to have a team review accounts that have had 2 resets within a 12 month period, it apparently flags the account and won't update instantly.
Ya I have the same ticket and I'm supposed to get a response tomorrow as well. If I would've known I would've never canceled my pre-orders to try and get an in store pick up
Yeah I am aware of that, the thing is that for online orders I can only buy T-Mobile ones if I want to pay full price.
While a walk-in purchase would allow me to buy either AT&T a or Verizon for full price, I don't know if those are usually I'm stock for walk-ins at the Apple Store of Highland Village or Houston Galleria.
I would go there in a heartbeat if I was guaranteed to find one, but can't afford the waste of time if they're not since I'm here for business.
If anyone is around those stores these days and tells me they are stocked then I may take a chance, but I can't handle any of those hurdles such as long lines before the store opens.
