Verizon iPhone Available for Pre-Order to Existing Customers

[thrownonsense]

Really there doing a test with one carrier that the phone isn't even released on and with a carrier that probably has close to a million iphone users in that city... That sounds very accurate!!!

you do realize that speed tests test the network & not the phone...right? Verizon has almost 100 million users...they're just as capable of crippling a network too

My order number is 219 and when i checked my order status they are saying that it shipped. My credit card was also just charged. Hopefully it's true.

My CC was charged just a little bit ago as well. Cannot get my order to come up though......hmmmmmmm

EDIT : nevermind..order comes up and says it shipped as well!

 

[thrownonsense]

Also of note. I ordered mine last night @ 2:59 EST (got my confirmation @ 3:08 after 5 minutes of lagging) & my order number is almost 690,000...no way that's correct.

I've been trying to wrap my brain around this for a few hours now...any thoughts/ideas?

*EDIT* Mine states shipped now as well...faaaaaaaaaantastic!!

Mine says it shipped My ACE# is low 500.

I was grandfathered in a long long time ago for $5 for Unlimited. It's a WIN for me.

You're still paying $5 more than you should. You're still getting bent over, just by a plan with a smaller, er, "fee".

 

[stooley]

Mine says it shipped My ACE# is low 500.

My Ace # is 2897302 and it has shipped...now to see if we get tracking numbers this evening

I ordered right when the site came up last night...1:50 ish Central.

VZ iPhone...

Hey just checked my status and it says shipped??? I attached a grab of the screen. Does anyone else have this? My order number was 937 and got it in before 3AM today....I used the order number and followed the link to check order status that is on the web page where you can place an order...if you were in early I still think this beats standing on line in the mall for hours... although i might go watch people do that for a while..

count me out now.... A big reason I was wanting to get the iphone from verizon was to take advantage of their $29.99 unlimited data plan and get the tethering, but no ****ing way I'm paying $50/each a month for two lines. Bye, bye, Verizon...

What'd you think? You buy tethering on one and you can use it on all your phones free?

Really? It's $45/mo for 2GB on AT&T. That's phone AND tethering usage together. At least VZW gives you unlimited phone and 2GB of dedicated tethering, for only $5 more...

would be pretty sick if we get it tomorrow or saturday

Wow...I don't suppose you could have said that without insulting me but then again I guess I haven't been on the internet long enough to understand that most people that use it are D-bags.

Anyway to answer your question, I vaguely remember clicking one with no result and didn't care to spend that much time figuring it out because I was half asleep, it was 3am and I had to be at work this morning. I saw that I had 30 days to decide so I figured I would make a more educated decision within that time frame since there was no mention of an applecare plan on the site anyway.

1. Everything's insulting on the internet, don't take it personal. and yes, most people [on the internet] are D-bags. Especially to those who come on forums and complain about something they are wrong about: "...None gave any kind of explanation as to what they provided. " <- wrong.

2. Same here, but I make it a point to take an extra 20 seconds to read over anything that I'm about to agree to and/or buy regardless of what time of day it is. atleast you saw the statement about having 30 days...sigh.

With this, I wonder if iPhone can finally beat Android.

Maybe when iPhone comes to Sprint?

boooo

We received your order and it is in process.

[matteusclement]

Brutal

here in Canada I pay $85 all in for 2000 minutes, 6gigs of data and unlimited text. these plans are aweful!!!

 

[JGowan]

Order complete! We got 2 of the 32gb models without issue.

Congrats. Question, please. Was there any type of family plan that you got on? My wife and I want iPhones in June (and currently pay $120 a month for AT&T) -- just wondering about a family plan on Verizon.

You're probably not far away, I'm 1314 and it says shipped.

What'd you think? You buy tethering on one and you can use it on all your phones free?

No.
The way things were being stated here and various sites was leading toward a $29.99 fee for unlimited.

As far as tethering, it was my understanding that it was a capability within the service itself. Not an additional fee.

Of course, I should have known better. Regardless of tethering, the $50/month for unlimited really kills me. I didn't realize ATT charged $45/month for 2gb.... I'm basing my price analysis on what Verizon offers for their non iphones, so, yes, IMO, tacking another $20 on the data plan just because it's an iphone is enough to make me stray away. Regardless of what they think is clever marketing.
furthermore, I'm at $50 sans voice plan.... and even sans texting plan. I was thinking $150 would be about right for unlimited, 700minutes, and 500 texts. Now the price is closer to $190. If you're okay with that, great. I, however, think it is quite high. We pay $70 less for tmobile unlimited data, 1000 minutes, and 400 texts. I'm not talking chump change...

Edit: maybe I'm reading it wrong. But, it seems to me that you're inherently getting hotsptting with the fee. So, you can't opt out, making the base unlimited data price for the iphone $49.99. It was my understanding, when initial details were spread out, that hotspotting would be inherent, yes, but not at an additional cost.

order: #1942

"Your order has been shipped."

 

[doubleaa]

My order hasn't changed to shipped. ACE# 1190636.

It'll be interesting for those that do show shipped if you get tracking soon.

 

[JPark]

I pay $20 a month for unlimited text on three phones with ATnT.

When you consider how little data texting consumes, and that it's transferred at a lower priority, any extra charge for texting is a rip-off. But that's not really news, so I'll get off my soap box now.
