IPhone 5 preorder at ATT store on 9/16, am I screwed?

I was out of town and not able to preorder my iPhone 5 untill the 16th. I think I already know the answer, but am i completeley screwed? Meaning I probably wont get the phone untill late October if not November?

Your confirmation and ship date would indicate that it will take 14 to 21 days to ship; that's "backorder" by most measures. That's all anyone here can say, and probably all that Apple could tell you. You'll just have to wait and see if Apple can ship faster than they are currently estimate.
Regards.

Can iphone 5 preorder through iphone apple store app port numbers or only process upgrades?

can iphone 5 preorder through iphone apple store app port numbers or only process upgrades? for example, can you setup a new line of service to an existing verizon account and port the ATT number over using the apple store app on iphone?

I have been waiting for a post like this. Just ordered mine from AT&T and the tax is close to $52. At an 8% mark that also equals to $649. I think they are charging full retail sales tax. I called AT&T and they couldn't explain it to easily they started saying that there is an extra luxury tax but I think they don't know it's just full retail tax. They also said that it's just a hold on my card by final charge will be processed when the phone gets shipped.
I checked fine print of sprint and AT&T. Ecause when you upgrade online with AT&T you don't pay tax but it states that it will be collected at the time it shipped. Sprint charges $24 which is almost half but also claims that there might be an extra tax when it shipped.
I am puzzled by the whole issue. But 25 bucks won't get me not to order my phone. I was able to get credit from my carrier because of the competition in the form of statement credits. Ordered 2 phones and een after crazy high tax I got one for red plus some :). Tax is crazy anyone else order it an have this issue please share

I bought att-locked but contract-free iPhone 4 from the Apple Store in the mall

Over 9 months ago i bought att-locked but contract-free iPhone 4 from the Apple Store in the mall.
Now i live in Costa Rica so my question is can it be unlocked?

You CANNOT legitmately unlock the AT&T iphone at all.
AT&T does NOT unlocl any iphones at all.
They clearly state this on their website.
"iPhone cannot be unlocked, even if you are out of contract."

Resetting should not have deleted your data.
But if you backed your phone up to iTunes or iCloud you should be able to restore it from there.

I have an iphone 4s unlocked with att prepaid plan (non-contract), everything was working perfect BUT since i update to IOS6 i can not send MMS to anybody has Android, i went to att technical center they said only apple store can fix the problem, i went to Apple store MANY times they could not fix it, so they gave me a new iphone 4s and they said they fixed it but they did not,iam so mad that's not fair, can somebody help me please.

The nice thing about owning this overpriced POS is that Apple not only doesn't support it, but also doesn't want to hear about anything negative regarding it. So I spoke to the so-called "support" people at Apple who successfully screwed up my contacts beyond repair. I got a nice email from Apple asking me to rate the support I got. I was actually civil and described the issue tactfully. What do I get in return? Nothing. Not a damned thing!! You're luck you've got me by the short hairs on a 2 year contract but I'm still tempted to throw this POS through the front window of the nearest Apple store!! Not only will I be replacing this phone with a competitive product but I won't be buying anymore Apple crap. I guess when you con 27 million people into believing your rhetoric and sales lies, you don't have to care whether some customers get screwed or not. I'll be going back to Verizon and threatening legal action if they don't take this electronic dung heap back but I'm sure the teams of lawyers Apple and Verizon have on staff have insured that I have no rights in this matter and you're free to screw me anytime you please. Sad. I used to love Apple as a company and your products. Now you're just another Microsoft with more trendy looking junk. I've had it with you. If any of your executives are brave enough to talk to me, please contact me at your convenience.

I got a blacklisted iphone 5 from att and I reset it and now when I try to set it up it needs a sim card so I went to the att store and they put a sim in and on the iPhone it says replacement needed couldn't complete activation.i just want use it as a ip

I got a blacklisted iphone 5 from att and I reset it and now when I try to set it up it needs a sim card so I went to the att store and they put a sim in and on the iPhone it says replacement needed couldn't complete activation.i just want use it as a ipod

To use it as an iPod it must be activated...to do that it has to accept a sim. A blacklisted iPhone cannot do that. Take it back to AT and T where you got it and get your money back.

Do Apple or Att stores do diagnostics on the iPhone?

Hello My phone is stuck in a dos mode and constant restarts. It was crashing
frequently so I did a restore using itunes 7.6. It looked like everything was
going fine till it finished then a error code came up "I think it said 1023, but not sure" A yellow triangle appeaared saying connect to itunes which it already was. So I disconnected it and tried a restart holding the sleep and home button.
When it restarted it started up in dos and the apple appeared then kept restarting doing the above over and over. Now itunes doesn't detect it anymore.
I've turned it off and on several times, but no change.
So I'm wondering if Apple or Att stores have the capability to do any diagnostics on it or should I just exchange it?

Stuck in DOS mode? I think not.
The Apple store may well try restoring the iPhone there, but that's about as much as they will do. if it persists, then they will replace it for you.

TS4002 When I got my phone the man at the att store set up my account but he put my email address wrong he spelled my last name on my id password wrong on it so I cannot use my iCloud account

When I got my upgrade I got a iPhone 4 and the man at the att store helped me set up my phone and when he done my iCloud account he put my email ID. wrong because he spelled my last name wrong I did not notice this until I got home I went back to the att store and they tried to fix it but couldn't 1 they even cleared everything off my phone and set hpnthe apple account with the correct one but it wouldnt fix my icloud either please help I don't know what to do.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

I bought an iphone 5s from the apple store and paid full price for it. (tmobile) and its LOCKED. how can i unlock it?

this is outrageous. I bought a tmobile iphone from the store to use with my att (i didnt want a 2 year contract) and it ends up my sim cant be used. I paid 800 dollars for a phone i cant use? how am i supposed to fix this. please dont ask me to take it to a att store or apple store because i live nowhere near one. Also it even described the iphone 5s being unlocked.

Buying an off-contract phone does not guarantee that it will be an unlocked iPhone. You need to explicitly request it to be an unlocked iPhone when you purchase it.
As KiltedTim suggests, try returning it to the store where you purchased it in exchange for an unlocked iPhone. If that is not possible, you can try contactign T-Mobile to see what their policy for unlocking iPhones is, they may do that for you (but they may charge a fee too).

Can't get order status on iPhone 6, pre-purchased in-store (showed stock for my particular model)

I pre-purchased my iPhone 6, 64GB silver, in-store on 9/13. I got an e-mail confirmation as well which says deliver by 9/16 (and when I bought it, there was stock left of that model). When I check my order status at one spot, I get technical difficulties, and when I check it at another, it just gives me the ACE # and location #, which I already had, and it has a blank for expected ship date.

Thank you very much for the help! I did reach out to the store, and they had no additional info. other than the preorder number, order number, and location number I had already been e-mailed by Verizon.
However, I just got a shipping update with tracking numbers! If you made this happen, thank you very much! So far the tracking numbers do not give me any information except that the label was created 9/18 (this is tomorrow, oddly), so I assume it must have already shipped out or will ship tomorrow. I hope this means my phone will arrive Friday, 9/19! Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to confirm this via the UPS tracking numbers. (It looks like it is shipping UPS, not FedEx.)
Thanks again! Fingers crossed, and if you guys can provide me any additional info. or advice, I would appreciate it. I appreciate all you've done already, too. Thank you!!

If I buy an iphone 5s from an apple store overseas, will it work on any network in New Zealand?

No. Only ATT will unlock it.

Why att store can not help for unlocking the phone

I followed the instructions to unlock our two old iphones after having iPhone 6. I received "unlock" message for one phone and did not receive the message for other phone. I am not sure if the phone has been unlocked. I went to AT&T store at Bridgewater Commons, NJ. and like to know if it Is unlocked. I was told that they can not tell and I need go to T mobile store to find out. I stopped by T mobile and found out the phone is still locked. So I went back to the AT&T store to try getting help. Because I already tried to unlock this phone three times before. There were 10 ATT people in the store and only two or three customers there. I asked one of employees to tell me what I need to do. I was told that they do not have the service to help unlocking and I need to call customer service. I said to her that you have 10 employees here and why can not help, I would like to speak to the store manager. The store manager Dawn was there and she told me the same thing. They can not help and I need to call the customer service. I kept asking but why you can not help. Finally she said that she can help me to call the customer. She called and the phone was not go through. Finally the employee asked me the phone number and I thought that maybe she will help me to unlock. Actually she just made another unlock request online for me and I need to wait the email in 24 hours and redo the unlock process later. I would to know why att store can not help the customers to unlock their old phones after getting the new phones. Why att keeps 10 employees in one store and can not help to solve customer problems.

AT&T keeps 10 employees at a store in case they need them to assist customers with purchasing items, or with items recently purchased.
The Store representatives can't help you with the unlock portion because it requires access to systems they are not authorized to access. If store employees could access the unlock system (other than the very same portal you can access) then there would be a high risk that there would be inapropriate unlocks by employees for their friends & relatives. AT&T's solution is to not allow them access to those systems, and have everyone go through the same process so that everyone gets the same treatment. If you are having problems with your unlock requests through the portal, try contacting customer support or you can send a private message to the escalation team at ATT Customer Care and someone will get in touch with you in two to three business days to help you get a resolution to your problems.

Try this:
Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

If I buy an iPhone 5 at the Apple Store

Can I also switch to my own contract? I am on my parents plan as of right now, and need to go to my own contract. If I get an iPhone 5 at an Apple Store, can I switch my contract to my own at the Apple Store? Would they be able to do that for me? Or is that something that only Verizon can do? I think it wouldn't work this way, but I just want the iPhone 5 already, and cannot wait!
Or could I go to a Radioshack or Walmart or Target to buy an iPhone 5 and have them switch to my contract? Again, high hopes, but just asking.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you! Although I think I will call first because the closest two from me that are actual Apple Stores, are 45 minutes and hour and a half. Unless a Apple Reseller would work?

My iPhone 4 from the Apple store. Now changing provider and it appears locked. Should it be?

I bought my iPhone 4 from an Apple store a couple of years ago and understood it to be unlocked. Now I am changing provider and it appears to be locked. I have tried the new SIM card with other phones and it is okay. Originally I was with Vodafone and have recently moved to GiffGaff as I reached the end of my contract. The iPhone won't start up instead it says "Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier's store to receive a replacement SIM card."Although my number has been ported across I place the old SIM back in the iPhone and it starts up. Can anyone offer any advice?

If you are in UK
Apple sell unlocked but they will also sell an iPhone with a contract
especially back in iPhone 4 days
If you purchased fron an Apple Retail store ( Apple owned) and paid
full price it should be unlocked as your Apple receipt should show
If not , it is locked but (if in UK ) Vodafone do offer unlocking .
Do a deep search of their site and you will find guidance not easy to find
