I'm the account owner of an AT&T family plan with several family members. I have a 6+ (SG 128GB) on pre-order from AT&T (Premier; ordered at 3:05am ET on 9/12) with expected shipping 10/2-10/13.
I've been watching the Apple site to see if "my" phone becomes available for in-store pickup. However, if/when one becomes available near me (Kentucky), I'm reluctant to cancel my AT&T preorder, due to the risk of not getting the Apple in-store pickup (due to the time lag between seeing the phone available, cancelling my ATT order, and placing the Apple in-store pickup order). It seems like the phone would likely be sold within minutes of it appearing on Apple's web site inventory (especially due to all the "tracker"/notification web sites), so I'd hate to "lose my place in line" and end up without a phone.
Does anyone know if I can place an AT&T in-store pickup order using a DIFFERENT phone line on my account (if it matters, this line would be required to pay a higher price for the phone since their line isn't eligible for the full subsidy yet). Then, cancel the AT&T 6+ preorder (on my personal phone line) and then, when I pickup the phone, have the Apple store switch the phone to my personal phone line (which is eligible for the full upgrade subsidized price)?
If it matters, all the lines in my account are in my name, billing address is mine, I pay the bill, etc...
Thanks!
