The Radio Shack I ordered from yesterday still has Verizon phones available for Friday pick up as of 455pm ET.No AT&T or Sprint though.And no I don't want to hear about "what happened last year" with RS.Different system this year.
 
That doesn't sound right. The number shouldn't transfer until you actually activate the new phone. Why would they disconnect your line tonight and leave you for two days with no phone? They best not do this to my second line...

Besides, when I upgraded to the iPhone 4, I never lost service to my line until I activated on iTunes.

Then I don't know if something changed, but she told me that for sure my phone was going to stop working tonight
 
Everyone has "Future delivery requested" on their tracking. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if some of them did get through on the 19th or 20th because there are a LOT of phones to deliver on the 21st. They have to stagger them somewhat.

My thinking exactly. The 20th is what really started me thinking this way.
 
Mine is sitting at a FedEx place 30 minutes away from my house. Wish I could just go get it. Or they would just bring it tomorrow.
 
Going to miss my iPhone on Friday....ugh

Hello Everyone,

As most of you on here, I'm excited to get my very first iPhone ever. I'm fine with it arriving on Friday.

However, as luck would have it, I'll be leaving for the airport at 9am Friday to fly to SF for work for a week.....arrrgh!!:mad:

I had no idea that the phone would be delivered on the same day. Highly unlikely it'll get delivered before 9am and FedEx already told me that:

1) My package is being held until the 19th before it'll be in actual "transit" It'll be held in Memphis until then.

2) Verizon, as most of you noted, has specific instructions not to hold it at the sorting facility and that they have to attempt delivery of the package.

I'll just try to breathe easy and relax...I guess an additional week really won't kill me...or would it? lol:D

I am jealous of you guys who have tomorrow or Thursday as the delivery date. In my case I could've really used it....sigh:(

Enjoy the phone! I hope to see mine as soon as I land on the 28th Friday.
 
Hey guys.....

Just called my local Radio Shack and they said that they're still taking pre-orders for the iPhone 5 but they have no idea when the phones will actually come in.

Sucks :(
 
Don't give up hope!

Keep your chin up! Your chosen iphone has been picked no matter what! You will be united as one! haha Okay I have lost it :D I'll just be happy to get mine on Friday. THOUGH if it came earlier I think I would poop myself haha
 
Doods....you can't get it early because the phone is live on the 21st. It is not Verizon that puts the hold on it. It is apple. If you happen to get it before midnight Thursday then an error was made and/or rules broken.
 
Well my order status has not changed yet. My order confirmation email stated "Thank you for your order. It is being processed and you will receive notification once it has shipped." But no further emails or bank account activity. It states 9/21/12 on the order confirmation.

My question: I am moving from AT&T, do you think there are delays in processing my order while Verizon waits on AT&T to release the phone number? Are others who moved from AT&T having a similar experience?

I'm still confident I'll receive it on 9/21/12 as promised.
 
Then I don't know if something changed, but she told me that for sure my phone was going to stop working tonight

If that were the case, then why would they tell you to backup your old phone just before activating the other? Besides, they told me they could switch the new phone to my line without ever interrupting the other line....which means it has to be working.

I think you were misinformed.

Also coming from AT&T and mine has shipped. They will continue to assign tracking numbers through tomorrow night. I wouldn't worry about it at this point.

I'll know for sure tonight if I loose communication with the world:eek:

So far off. The phones are in Verizon's warehouse and not Apples. The 4 and 4s both had people getting them early. I understand that Apple puts an official release date of the 21st, but most times, preordering can get you a phone early. History has shown this to be true with even Apple products.

I've never heard of this happening. If anyone else has, please chime in. Too many things could go wrong, phone not come in, not work out of the box, and then you would have no phone. Besides, they wouldn't leave you for two days without service.

WBA is future delivery requested?
 
I'm from Lincoln, NE. My location is also N211601 my order # is 40xxx. I believe our iPhones will be on the same shipment!!

I haven't received any shipping email from Verizon as of right now. Sadly.

Interesting! I'm in Lincoln, NE as well and I'm in location W779301!
