Here is my status, I hate my life




grr........................What time did you preorder?![]()
grr........................What time did you preorder?![]()
This is EXACTLY the situation that I'm in, only I haven't had the "happy ending" that you've seemingly gotten yet. (And AT&T made it seem like it was my fault that the two Iphones were on the same line. It's THEIR system, why can't it pick up these problems BEFORE the order is placed?!) I'm going to have to call and find out why I haven't gotten further than I have so far - I was told that one was going to cancel, at least, and nothing has happened so far - both are still sitting at "attention" status.Just got off the phone with AT&T Premier service.
They told me the reason my order was in "Attention" status was because I had ordered two new phones the same line. This is completely false, as I clearly ordered a second line of service, but for some reason the two new phones were processed as being for a single line.
The customer service rep admitted that this was most likely a system error that caused this problem. The only way to get my order out of "Attention" status was to cancel the second phone/order. Once this action was taken, I refreshed my order screen, and the second order for my wife's phone was immediately canceled, as if the guy had hit a button and the action was immediately applied.
However, my order for my already established line of service, was still in "Attention" mode, and it still is. I asked the rep why that was, and he said the "Attention Mode" would be removed within the next 6-12 hours. I may check again around noontime, and if it's still there, I'll call them back. But honestly I don't really care anymore.
As far as shipping goes, the customer service rep told me that "they were told that they'd be receiving the device on the 24th, and they would be shipped out and could be received by the 25th."
I wish I could give such ambiguous answers at my job, but that wouldn't fly for me. Regardless, not much I can do, and I'll be adding my second line to my account through Apple, not AT&T. As far as I'm concerned, this is literally the worst purchasing experience I've had in my life. What a cluster**** that shines badly on both AT&T .. AND Apple.
*Update* Added my canceled e-mail notification that is worded as if my whole order has been canceled, when in reality, one component of the order has been canceled -- the second phone.

Oh my god, AT&T are idiots. Since late friday night (after the call center closed) my call status has been "We need more information to process your order" - something the regular AT&T rep couldn't help me with over the weekend. So I finally call and after about 35 minutes on hold, she says "It looks like they haven't made a decision on your credit yet because we need more information from you, let me put you on hold while i get with our credit department to figure this out."
so I wait on hold another 10 minutes. She gets back on the line.
"OK, it looks like we approved your account for the two phones with a 0 dollar deposit, so I'll get your order pushed through for priority processing...and that will ship out on the 24th or 25th, but we'll e-mail you to let you know for sure."
um. I had to call you and wait 30 minutes so you could get NO further information from me and tell me that my credit was approved? Thanks geniuses...
Although my order status page still says "Attention!", when I called just a moment ago the automated message says my order is in process and should be completed with 1 business day.
Maybe I can stop freaking out. Good Luck to everyone trying to get through to talk to a Premier rep!
I ordered Jun 15th about 8:30AM CDT. Received confirmation mail with activation numbers and such. Have had status of attention! since then. Contacted them, apparently I fat-fingered my credit card number. Corrected that, premier support said it should be shipping out and delivered by the 24th/25th.
Nice to know if I hadn't called they wouldn't have bothered to contact me to get my order straightened out. Status still showing attention!, hopefully it will change soon.

Does attention necessarily mean there was some error with CC?
Weird I got an email on about the 17th saying there was a problem with my credit card and it showed up on the order site as a credit card error so I am not sure why it wouldnt have said that if they were the only issue. Mine took about 5 min to get out of attention status after talking to the rep this morning.
This is what drives me crazy. Every single rep I've talked to says that getting out of a credit-card-attention status takes 12 hours, and every promise of it working since last Thursday hasn't worked at all.
Yet you got yours corrected and the Premier status updated almost immediately.
???
I dealt with some absolute idiots today regarding my 'Attention' status. Lots of ums, uhs and 'oh, you're right's. However, when I FINALLY was able to talk to a Premier rep he was great. He got things sorted out for me; made sure the phone number was correct for the port, made sure I still wanted to use the same CC for payment (CC now has the pending charge for the phone as well) and confirmed the shipping address. After I got off the phone with him, my status had changed back to 'Processing' and FINALLY shows up under the regular AT&T order status site. No tracking number at last check, but I was assured the phone would still arrive on the 24th. Good news there since I was getting very, very worried.
Almost my identical experience once I got a hold of a premier rep this morning
