You shouldn't have a problem doing it online. Just log in and under the manage devices section, hit activate or switch device and it's pretty easy. Just select your line, it will have you input the sim and serial number for the phone and it should activate on your line no problem. Nothing needs to be done to switch any SIM cards, and you can do it immediately.

I am giving my wife my old iPhone 5, how does that come into play?
 
I have ordered three phones, moving from AT&T, two will be here tomorrow the 6+ says 10/7. I called the local store and he said they would have some stock in the morning of +'s, if I go get one will this mess up my account or do I just cancel the one on backorder?
 
6+ 128gb SGrey

Order time 12:16am PST
Conf time 1:26am PST
Conf delivery 10/7

Any former 10/7 now 10/14 folks have any updates or get a tracking #?
 
It just went from the 10/7 I got this morning, to a tracking number that says tomorrow my 8 pm!!!

Hey cool, glad to see someone getting bumped up. In fact, congrats to everyone getting their phones tomorrow! Enjoy them.

I think you should be able to cancel but you should really call AT&T. Also this is a Verizon order fourm ;)
 
This is feeling like a VZW f-up

I have quite a bit of experience dealing with both UPS and FedEx. I can tell you with confidence that UPS will scan origin shipments very late at night at their louisville center - like 11 pm - midnight late, and still manage to get them to their destination the next day.

Whichever carrier you have –*UPS or FedEx, they are both global logistics companies. This isn't their first rodeo. You're pride and joy will most likely arrive on time and unharmed.
 
Seeing that some people got bumped up from 10/7 to today im fuming that my dad cancelled my pre-order before I told him to. Have to chance it on launch day. Still cant decide whether I should go to verizon or apple :(

Sounds good to me!
 
D771001 just got shipping confirmation email for tomorrow...hey now! 128GB Silver+....ordered around 3:55EDT -- just left PA on its way to NJ...I guess they were hiding in PA all along, hopefully the rest of you guys start getting your phones sooner than later....
 
Anyone else receiving their iphone via USPS? My iphone 5 preorder came fedex but this one is like straight usps, not even smart post. Verizon says to not worry it'll still be here tomorrow but my husband works for the post office and knows how the priority shipments work. I hope someone else has some experience with preordering and it being shipped USPS.
 
And now, instead of 10/14, my status says 10/7, better... but still not 9/19. Hopefully it will change, but it's so nice to see something other than not available.

Status: 10/07/2014 Your order will ship by 10/07/2014

Just checked my bank account and there is a charge for the FULL AMOUNT for VZW. Ummmm this seems promising! :)

Just received an e-mail... Verizon Wireless Shipping Notification! With a delivery date of 9/19 by 3pm and tracking information. So when you see your status date change from not available... To 10/14... To 10/7... Your credit card gets charged... You will get a shipping notification with tracking information. lol :) Cannot believe I'm actually going to get the iPhone Plus 128GB Space Gray :apple: tomorrow, as Verizon said from the order date in the confirmation e-mail! Hope it's not too big! :) Good luck to everyone! I appreciate all of the information everyone posted!
 
TO all the people getting there stuff bumped to tomorrow. Thats awesome guys hope you enjoy it. Good to see good things happening. :cool::cool::cool::apple::apple::apple:

While Apple will have the most phones they probably already have a large line. Verizon stores will get some tomorrow but in limited quantities. If your going to get one you may want to camp and t out. Talk to the verizon store manager and see if they will even have the exact one you want. They can't tell you how many they have but should be able to say if they have them at all.

A relative of mine is an ATT store manager at a high volume store. They got about 30 iPhone 6 but absolutely no Plus phones.
 
I ordered iphone 6 this morning, just got an email my phone has shipped!

Long story, I pre-ordered an ATT phone on the 12th, ended up canceling after I got a text message yesterday saying that my plan cost would go up $35 if I upgraded my phone.
I was really freaked, I already sold my phone on eBay and I need to ship it this weekend!
I read an article on BG(?) saying that iphone 6's were showing as available to ship on 9/19 last night on the Verizon online store. I figured if it shipped with 2 day shipping I would get it Monday or Tuesday and it would all work out.
So I've been checking the order status all day and it was still showing that it was in process.
Just checked it again and it said it had shipped and would be delivered tomorrow by 8pm!

Right now I'm thinking Verizon Rocks! Hope this gives some of you who have been waiting for an update faith that you will get it tomorrow. I ordered the iphone 6, 64gb in Gold. I know it is harder to get the 6+:(
