random restock
So there must have been a late/random restock today. I've been watching istocknow.com all for days and nothing. All of the sudden, around 7:00 pm, my Ann Arbor, MI Apple store went green and I scored my 64gb gray plus!! Butttttt I'm at work...they should hold it until tomorrow right?!

From what I have read, it should not be an issue, especially if you are like me, where you bought the phone on contract on one line, and want to return it and buy it on ATT next on a separate line that is eligible.
I feel like the only problem people have had is the eligibility resetting which would not be an issue in my situation, but im still nervous the apple employee will not allow me to do it for some reason.
Im paranoid after finally getting my order in -_-
Today was the best thing since 7-10 days.
But updates were 99% for 6 Plus, not sure for a 6. I'd definetily call, and try to beg a "1 hour booking" so that you can get there. (or order by phone ? Some reported that i i remember well).
----------
The 6 Plus drop in blue (map is for ATT 64 or 128 don't remember
)- most are gone...
- even Alaska's been hit.
if found the phone i want in att reserved it for pickup showed up and told me them that i want it full price will that phone be unlocked yes or no ?? will it work on international sim cards please reply asap cause that phone is still available !!!!
HEEELLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!
HEEELLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!
If you pay full price at apple store, it will be unlocked. The problem is if the apple employee will sell it to you or not.
This is from my pickup email for the guy who was asking about buying it unlocked, although it could mean just a straight up unlocked phone rather than a full price carrier specific:
Edit: Now can someone let me know if i should have any problems cancelling my pickup order on a 2 year, and then rebuying it on a different line with ATT Next?

OOO GOOOD THATS CONFUSING I WONT TAKE THE RISK DAMN IT
Thanks anyway

Thanks anyway There are people that have reported that they could return their In Store Pickup order, and then rebuy it again immediately at full price to get the phone unlocked. However, it is not a sure thing (I'm hoping for this result myself as I reserved a Verizon phone but am on AT&T).
Thanks iStockNow for notifying us of the huge restock for the iPhone 6 Plus SG, was finally able to reserve one.

For those that have been tracking, is it worth it to try and go again tomorrow, even though today was big? I missed the 6 Plus by 30 minutes so want to try and go again tomorrow to score one. Does the Plus usually show up two days in a row? Or when would the next shipment possible show up? Thanks, new to this.
This is crazy to me, has anyone else experienced this.
The full price phone I want is available for personal pick up - however ordering online you get charged a $30 upgrade fee and you have to change your service plan with verizon.
If you "walk in" and buy a phone neither the upgrade fee or service plan change is required.
However, the personal pick up through the site has a different inventory than the store inventory. So I can't "walk in" and buy the phone I want without doing the personal pick up through the site and getting charged the fees...

----------
Which one?
Crap, I was at Frisco when they opened and they said come back in he afternoon! I couldn't stay longer than 15 minutes but am mad they started selling them before noon! I missed them.
We're you the tall guy with facial hair that had a six? I was the shorter guy in the green shirt. Think you were behind me?
Tonight 1am order online for in store pickup Saturday
Hey so I was able to do this. I secured a space grey 128 at an Apple Store in Atlanta. DH picked it up on a work trip. Atlanta Apple couldn't switch him to next because ATT takes 3 days to refresh the eligibility status. So when Apple refunded him they couldn't add to the line because he wasn't eligible.
At that point knowing he couldn't leave that ip6+ in Atlanta for fear of my wrath. He bought it outright. I went to ATT in Jax and they said Apple should be able to do switch to next but then admitted the eligibility wouldn't show for 3 days. Apple blamed ATT for both the status and the policy. According to Apple ATT is the one who banned personal pick up for us second class ATT next citizens.
Anyway we connected the phone that day, ATT at least waived the $40 connection fee. They also apologized and said if we wanted to reverse this and get on the next program we could do so after 3 business days.
About a week later when I went to turn in my 4S for $200, I was told I couldn't because it was saying it was lost or stolen. (I will not digress with why this disaster occurred) I had to go to Apple at this point. While there we went ahead and did the refund exchange etc. It took quite a while in both wait time and being able to do it. Apple is still a zoo. Then we were told some crazy story about it going back to stock and we could lose the phone.
Anyway the refund worked somehow. But then since ATT added new plans (30GB a MONTH for $160 = steal with 24% employee discount = $121) and I have a new plan on checkout for ATT next it wasn't an option. (Sigh. Apple and ATT can't play nice.) We selected some random plan since we were on our way back to ATT with the intent to fix any changes right after. ATT said nothing in our plan changed (and exchanged my 4S for $200!!). I suppose I'll find out on my next bill if something got messed up.
Anyway we ended up 3 Apple Store visits and 3 ATT visits in all together. It was done but it was annoying as hell.
I still need 1 more phone. I'm debating what to do. Shipping seems really nice right now.
Anyway if you have any specific questions about how the transactions were done please let me know.
I do think us ATT folk need to ban together to get answers from ATT for why they are banning personal pick up from us if we don't do the contract. There is an ATT forum were we can voice our complaint.

Lol. That's me. I shaved today though.
Congrats man, I'm kind of pissed about how it went down. I spoke to three different employees about that shipment they received and all of them said they will not get to it until the afternoon and come back then. I should have waited with you!

Also managed to get an AT&T device only SG 64GB plus today in NYC.
Activated it over WiFi with my EE (UK) SIM.
Thanks iStockNow. Didn't use an alert, but a useful way to see availability none-the-less.
