IPhone pre-order and number switchover...

So my questions is if I pre-order my phone and I want my number converted over, does this happen at pre-order time or does something else have to happen?
thanks for any help...
- Telpereon

My plan is to order it when it becomes available through the website. Is it better to do so at the store for some reason?
My main reasons at this point are I would like to have my phone replaces (gen 2) and I would like it on the release date if possible with as few hassles as possible.

  • Can I cancel my iPhone 6 plus pre order and still keep my upgrade?

    We pre ordered the phone on 2 month contract upgrade, but now we want to cancel the pre order. The phone still hasn't shipped yet, it's supposed to ship out by the end of the month, so can we cancel the pre order and still keep the upgrade for a different phone?

        ba1696,
    Ordering a new phone and being able to purchase one at any time is certainly exciting. If you purchase a new phone and have not received it,you most certainly can cancel the order and keep your uprgade date the same. Was there any particular reason you were wanting to cancel the order for the iPhone 6? Was the order placed online or over the phone? We have all of the options available for you.

  • Iphone pre order SUCKS

    Ordered on the 3rd, yet I still have no information about when or even IF my phone will be coming.  Not a single business customer has received shipping information yet millions of consumers have their phone.  You did this to us with the Droid INC too.  If you can get an order right, then dont take it.  I've had it with Verizon, i'll be sending mine back and going with Sprint instead.  I wont spend $2,500 monthly to be told you dont know where my order is and dont know when it will come and that no one else will get their phones.......
    **bleep**

    Thanks - a good link to have.
    When I ported my number from Verizon 3-4 years ago before the iPhone was available, I set everything up and ordered a phone online via AT&T's website. This wasn't a pre-order for something like the iPhone, but I had to enter my billing address, social security number, and phone number with area code that I wanted to port. I don't recall having to enter my Verizon account number but maybe so.
    I assumed the same could be done online when placing a pre-order, and not good to assume.

  • The Diff Between Pre-Order and Reserved

    Pre-Order:
    You walk into the store between the 24th and the 1st of July and walk out with an iPhone 4.
    Reserved:
    You stand in line after all the pre-order people have gotten their iPhones (or if they don't show up, their phone is held for 7 days) and any extra phones are given to you, in a first come, first serve of the people who reserved. You are not guaranteed to get one.
    No Pre-Order or Reserve:
    You get dibs on the phone after all the reserve people have gotten their phone.
    End of story. Please stop asking.

    Sorry, that doesn't make any sense. I mean, I get that a lot of people don't know there's even a difference between "pre-order" and "reserve", but why would "reserve" people have to wait until after all the "pre-order" people get their phones? The Apple store employees know not to give away the pre-order phones, I'm assuming they're pulling from a different "pile".
    And there have been a few people on here who have said that Apple employees assure them there is an actual phone with their name on it. Difference is, their phone isn't programmed to their account yet and the reservation expires at the end of the day (as opposed to pre-ordered phones which expire after 7 days.) Not that the Apple store employees know all, they sure didn't today, but if it's a consistent answer like this, I'm inclined to believe them. Also, then, what's the point in telling the reservation people to come at 7AM if they're not even going to start giving them out then?

  • Destiny - $10 Reward Certificate for Pre-order and Purchase

    So as the title states, according to BB's promotion,anyone that pre-orders the Destiny game and purchases it, gets a $10 reward certificate. 
    I was one of the lucky few that actually pre-ordered the Destiny Limited Edition and did not have it get cancelled due to limited suppy. Regardless, why doesn't the Destiny Limited Edition have the special offer for the $10 reward certificate for pre-order and purchase? I am hoping this is just an oversite.

    Hi JBROWN52,
    Congratulations on securing a copy of the Limited Edition of Destiny!
    I wanted to jump in and reiterate what enuf has said. The $10 Reward Certificate bonus should be credited to your My Best Buy account within 20 days after you receive your copy of Destiny, whether it be picked up in-store or shipped to you. If for any reason you don’t see the points after this time has elapsed, please create a post letting us know and we’ll be more than happy to help out.

  • Album wont download after i pre ordered and paid.

    I pre ordered the album Salute by Little Mix and it came out today and it says purchased but it still wont download. I have money in my account so I have no clue why it wont download.

    Hello, Rachel. 
    I have experienced this exact same issue for a Pre-order album as well.  I would recommend canceling the Pre-order and download it again as it most likely has not been charged.  This article will walk you though the process.

  • Will Apple be doing Verizon iPhone pre-orders on 2/3??

    I know Verizon will be doing the pre-order on 2/3, but I have a large Apple gift card to use. So my question is will Apple be doing Verizon iPhone pre-orders on 2/3 as well? I couldn't find the answer to this anywhere. Thanks guys.

    Based on this link, you will be able to.

  • Gaming Pre-orders and Gamers Club Unlocked

    Everytime I pre-order a game, I'm charged the full price (minus the deposit) when I go to pick it up. I purchased Gamers Club Unlocked last October and should be getting 20% off until October 2016.
    The first time I tried to use the promotion on a pre-order was last November (less than a month from purchasing the service). I pre-ordered a game that had the 500 Rewards points promotion for pre-order and purchase. When I went to pick up the game, I was charged in full. I told the associate that I had GCU, so he had to adjust the price manually. I'm not sure about all the math but it deducted points from that 500 point promotion. 
    The last time I went to pick up a pre-ordered game was 2 days ago; I also had a $5 reward certificate with me. Once again, 20% was not taken off the purchase so the associate asked for help from a few others. After about 15 minutes and a couple voids. They had to treat the pre-order as a normal purchase and refund me the $5 pre-order deposit. That's fine seeing as there really was no pre-order bonus on this particular item.
    I'm just asking: do I have to go through this everytime I pre-order a game at Best Buy?

    Greetings WN_Orlais, 
    It is strange that you would have such difficulties with receiving your Gamers Club Unlocked benefits if it is appropriately attached to your My Best Buy membership. Receiving these benefts, especially when pre-ordering games, should be a painless process, and I'm sorry to hear it hasn't been for you. 
    Using the information registered with the forum, I see that your Gamers Club Unlocked membership appears to be attached appropriately. With having said that, I'm sorry to say I can't speak as to why you have encountered these issues.
    I do see that when you originally went to pickup your most recent pre-order, that you did receive the Gamers Club Unlocked discount, and that your My Best Buy certificate was applied. However, this transaction left off your pre-order deposit, which led to the chain of reprocessing the transaction a few times to get it sorted out. I apologize for any hassle that this has caused.
    If you continue to experience trouble with pre-ordering, please let us know so that we may look further into this with you! 
    Sincerely,

  • Pre-order and iPhone

    I preordered an album and when I clicked on the email link to download on my iPhone, it sent me to the main iTunes app. When I clicked on the album, it wanted to charge me full price. Is there a way to download a pre-ordered album to my phone, or do I have to wait until I get to my main iTunes computer?

    My plan is to order it when it becomes available through the website. Is it better to do so at the store for some reason?
    My main reasons at this point are I would like to have my phone replaces (gen 2) and I would like it on the release date if possible with as few hassles as possible.

  • If You Want To Know When iPhone Pre-Order Will Start...

    You should go to the Apple website (http://www.apple.com/iphone/) and set it up so that you get sent a text message when they are ready to pre-order.
    To do this, enter your phone number as an e-mail address. I'm not sure of the ones outside of the States, but with AT&T, you enter it like "[email protected]". You can try this...send yourself an e-mail to that format, and it'll show up as a text.
    Now, when Apple starts to send out their e-mail letting us know when the pre-orders have started, you'll receive it as a text.
    EDIT: Completely unrelated to this topic, but "[email protected]" works for MMS's. If you attach a picture and send it off to this "e-mail", it'll send the pic to the phone.

  • Reserved for Store Pickup, No pre-order and Ship to Store!

    I'm reading all these discussions and my head is exploding. I was up @ 4am yesterday banging away like you all.
    My criteria was this; I was eligible for upgrade @ $199 with the activation fee waived (sweet). I wanted to pick the phone up at my Apple store because I trust it more then brown.
    When I clicked the pre-order link, there was NO option to have it sent to the store, it could only be sent to my house. Let me repeat that, NO option to send anywhere but house. It even says it "Pre-order your iPhone 4 from the Apple Online Store and we’ll ship it free — directly to your door and ready to use."
    So I went to the reserve in store process. There was NO WAY TO PAY for it up front. Let me repeat that; NO WAY TO PAY for the reserved phone. So I received my confirmation email and said there is a phone waiting for me on the 24th!
    I called 2 Apple stores and chatted online with 3 Apple support people and they ALL, every single 1 of them, said the same exact thing. The only way to pickup in the store is to go through the reservation process. The store will have 2 lines, reserved and general. The reserved will be there all day for you to pick up.
    So, does anyone have some proof that you pre-ordered it, paid for it and have it sent to your Apple store, not your home to pick up?

    I got to the page state,"iPhone is reserved for pickup." Please bring government issued ID, debit or credit card...... No email received. Do I really have one on hold????
    This time for this phone things are very confusing. I preordered yesterday for in store pickup got through the verification process saw that all my data and cell plan info were correct. Then at the end I got the message "see you at the store". Bring picture id. Nothing else, no confirming email as of today, nothing showing under my account in the on line store. I just came from the store that I picked for my phone to go to and there is nothing in their system either. So I went down to the AT&T store in that mall and preordered it there, no issues. It's just as well since I'm ordering it under my wife's number to get the discount and would have to go there any way to make the switch. I've read other posts from people that saw the same thing on line that I did when they ordered, "see you at the store" but no other confirmation. I'm going to assume that it means the order did not go through. So keep that in mind if you got what I did.

  • Cancelled pre-order and walked into AT&T and got phone

    Today, I cancelled my pre-order for my iPhone 4s 64gb AT&T black model.  I was then able to walk into an AT&T store and pick up the exact same model (5 days after the original shipment).
    The number one reason is because I do believe there is a lack of communication and openness about what is going.  I'm an silver reward member and spend a lot of money with best buy but stuff like this makes me want to reconsider where I send my money.
    IMHO, what I think happened is that they had a glitch or something on the 64gb model sku and didn't properly get their order in with Apple.  Which is why they didn't receive ANY.   It doesn't make any sense that AT&T has a surplus of the model and Best Buy had NONE in the exact same city.
    Based upon that, I think they are now going to have to wait for the "second round" of phone shipments and my guess that is 4-6 weeks out.
    I also don't buy they don't know when they will get them.  Actually, they do know (or can find out).  They can call Apple up and say when is my next shipment supposed to be in (just like I'm asking best buy).   Apple (or whoever is the ultimate supplier) would have to be able to supply Best Buy with the info they need to inform their customers.  That's why I think it's the more likely case that they screwed up their order with Apple on the 64gb models and didn't get it in properly (or on time).  Or worse yet, they aren't actively calling Apple up and asking for shipment dates and order dates.

    We are picking ours up from Apple today.  Ours were the 16g white and 32g black, #1 and #2 preorders for Verizon phones.  They supposedly got a shipment yesterday but we didn't get an email once they were scanned. They are not that rare. My guess is they didn't get any for Verizon (just like Sprint).
    I agree with the lack of communication.  I'd wait it our if they told the truth and even through in an extra set of earbuds or something.  Geez, we're silver members too (my husband wanted to get teh points from this sale). Oh well, ,hopefully they will learn from this experience.
