The best move is to keep your existing phone.

I want to upgrade and I don't want to buy/keep this phone. I'm going to keep calling them, next week when poo poo is less crazy, until they figure this out.

I also didn't have AppleCare on my account even though I had paid for it. Something is broken on Apple's end and I just want it fixed :sigh:

I wanted to be a neo deconstructivist, but Mom wouldn't let me.
When I ordered and signed up for the upgrade program it didn't say anything about trading my phone in. So I guess I am free to sell it once my 7+ comes in.

Dumb question - how do ya'll set pictures for your contacts? Is there any way to just set it to whatever their Facebook profile picture is? Do you set them manually? Or do you just... not?

I've literally never done it. My contacts are synced to Google so a handful of my contacts have whatever picture that person attached to their Google account, but most don't.

Facebook officially supports like combining contacts or syncing them or whatever the right word would be.

Has anyone ordered a phone from Apple but then realized they could get it day-of elsewhere? I'm basically going to see if I can buy it on launch day at an AT&T store and then return the one I just bought or something like that.

If you don't trade your old phone back in you'll have to pay off the remainder of the cost (at least 12 payments).

It's possible he ticked off the option to keep his phone and pay EDIT- 50% of the new phone price (plus tax) and then start payments for the second 50%

Even after your first year of payments ends you have the choice with verizon to keep your old phone and start over again by paying half up front

Yes. I got my iPhone 5 and 6 from Verizon on launch day (internet order, both ordered around 7-8 am on pre order day). My 128GB black 7 is scheduled for launch day and I ordered after 9am this morning from Verizon.

Apple was delayed into mid October when I ordered my 5.

Also drawing notes that say things like "Balls" made entirely out of dicks.

So I did the apple upgrade program and gently caress apple. I share an account with my Mother who lives 300 miles away, when I bought the phone at 2am it wouldn't let me change the shipping address to my billing address. I just spent an hour on the phone arguing with them, getting the phone call escalated. They have no way to change the order shipping address, the Phone has to ship to the AT&T Billing address on the account, not to the person who bought it, put in their social security number, and took out a loan.

I have some apple hookers private email address and extension who's going to continue to try and fix this somehow but I'm doubtful, she kept telling me sob stories of her "other clients" getting hosed over by this.

I bought the new watch too, I spend $2000 dollars on a phone and watch and they cant loving ship me half of what I paid for.

So apparently I was supposed to have known to log into AT&T, quickly change the billing address to my home, order the phone, then change it back.

AT&T isn't Apple. Every year people complain in this thread that Apple only ships their preorders to the carrier billing address.

One of the first results I find on Google. It seems like it's been an issue since they started doing preorders:

http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-com-cant-ship-to-a-different-address-besides-cc-billing-address.1242482/

That thread says CC billing address, but folks in that thread are saying they were restricted to carrier billing address. :iiam:

You would have to know that to google that. You have no insight.

Even then they are complaining about not shipping to something other than the CC billing address. I want it shipped to my CC billing address. They're forcing carrier.

I wouldn't have know that would be an issue until I ordered the phone, or got to near the final screen atleast when I couldn't change the address.

Seriously though even if I had stopped to research and maybe ask a question after I got to that screen, by the time I figured it out it would have bumped my phone order back a month. I ordered my Phone within 8 minutes of it launching on the iPhone Apple Store app and I still got a October 4-10 delivery date even though when I started the order 1 minute after launch it already said September 26 would be my date.

If it makes you feel any better, you'll probably still get it on release date. The last two iPhone releases, preorders that fell into the 1-2 week window often got fulfilled early. They're just rather conservative with estimates.

She did try she was very polite and I was polite back with a blatant undertone of exasperation. I just expressed how stunned I was after dropping $2k I couldn't get a level of customer service that would allow a change in shipping address(to the person who's social security number is tied to purchase.) Don't worry I didn't call her a dumb oval office, I'm a nice Texas boy.
