Pre-ordering on Verizon

I am a verizon customer and I plan on pre-ordering it, but my question (and it may be a dumb one) is when I will have to actually pay for it. Do I pay when I pre-order and it ships to me, or do I pre-order and have to go into the store and pay when I get it?
Thanks for any help.

From the Verizon FAQ'S:
iPhone 4 will be available for pre-order to Verizon Wireless customers only, on a “first come, first serve” basis via VerizonWireless.com, on or around February 3rd 2011 – details to be confirmed a week prior by Verizon Wireless.

The new iPhone 6 was unveiled today.... when will it be made available for pre-order through Verizon?

The iPhone 6 was unveiled today, I would like to know when I can pre-order through Verizon.

For each iPhone which Verizon has carried, the pre-orders opened the SAME time they did on the Apple site.
You are correct, though, that it MAY be different this time.

Black Verizon iPhone 4S 32GB Pre Order MASSACRE!

I was the First person online on October 7th and pre ordered a Verizon iPhone 4S 32GB in black - And i still have not recieved it! To everyone who says "Best Buy only gets what Apple sends them" that is complete BS - Best Buy is a Billion dollar corporation, THEY NEED TO KEEP UP WITH THEIR OWN INVENTORY NOT APPLE - if you are accepting pre orders and taking $50 from people as an advance and you see that in a certain store 10 people pre ordered 10 Verizon 32GB iPhone 4S in Black - YOU MAKE SURE YOU GET 10 VERIZON 32GB IPHONE 4S IN BLACK! Its not rocket science - Verizon had no problems having them in stock, I dont think Best Buy did either, THEY MESSED UP! Were not talking a mom and pop cell phonr store, were talking about one of Apples LARGEST RETAILERS, Apple still has EVERY PHONE IN STOCK so they obv had enough to give to best buy - only reason i dont go to Apple is because im using their buyback program - But I will NEVER AGAIN! Thank you Best Buy for saving us from future headaches we have all learned our lesson

Ok, here's my timeline:
I also ordered on the 8th (16GB White) at around 8PM... received confirmation email shortly... received the fake cancellation email on the 17th.. called CSR twice and they made sure that my order is in good standing and that it says it will ship on the 21st...check order status online on the 19th at around 10am, pre-order # now changed to order #, but without tracking info yet... received email this morning at 3:45am with the shipping information...FedEx tracking provided, says my phone will arrive by 3PM tomorrow. Now refreshing the FedEx site every hour to see if the package has been picked up at the warehouse....
Can't wait!
Edit: Fedex tracking now says the package has been picked up at Memphis, TN.

Pre-order discrepancies...

Bear with me on this...
I was told initially, as many here were, that youcould only pre-order from Verizon. Then others spoke to Apple reps who claimed that yes, you could also pre-order from Apple.
Then I was told by VW cs reps that if you pre-order on the 3rd, the phone will ship within 24hrs and you should receive it on or around the 7th. (I know others have been told other things, but this is the only answer I have heard from the three reps I spoke with.)
I just got off the phone with an apple supervisor who said that yes you could pre-order with them, but the phone will not ship until the 10th.
So... by this information, you can order from apple, but you will get your phone first from Verizon.
I have apple gift cards, so I am going through apple.

Yes, they did. I called 3 retail locations near me Monday and spoke to the Store Managers and I called the Apple online store and held on to speak with a Supervisor. All 4 Apple supervisors told me explicitely that you can order on the 3rd AS LONG as you are an existing customer. Discount, full retail, ugrade eligible/uneligible does not matter. The ONLY qualification is that you must have an existing account and line with VZW.
They also said you can make the order over the phone by calling Apple store online, if you have any issues online or if the online ordering system was not working. I think they told me that last part because they probably get some type of incentive if you order on the phone with a person.
I also spoke with a Verizon supervisor Monday. She also told me the same thing basically. Any existing VZW customer can pre-order. When I asked her she thought I was crazy for even asking such a stupid question. "of course you can order at full retail- you're an EXISTING CUSTOMER SIR! The only people who cannot pre-order are non VZW customers" . Were her words.
That lead me to another question that I haven't heard asked and it might just bein the FAQ. But, if I recall correctly, the FAQ states pre-orders to VZW on or around the 3rd. Does that mean on the 4-10th existing customers can still pre-order? Seems like everyone is assuming it's either or. I may have missed it in the FAQ but, never thought about it until now. Does the FAQ say you HAVE to pre-order on the 3rd otherwise you have to wait until the 10th?
As of the last time I checked (which was like two hours ago) it doesn't state anything about it. Now, as we've all been told the FAQ is CONSTANTLY changing (with what? I don't know. Don't notice much of a change even now). I asked my friend who used to work for Verizon and she said that she imagines that it will be able to be pre-sold until their inventory runs out. But that they may have a set amount that they can go through for pre-orders so that there are still some in stores and on VZW.com the day of launch.
ONLY HER GUESS. She doesn't know for sure. But that was her guess. But, it matters if they run out on the 3rd at midnight I guess.

Anyone have their iPhone 5 pre-order shipping confirmation and working tracking link yet?

For anyone pre-ordering an iPhone 5, please post when you have a UPS/Fedex shipping tracking link that actually works and indicates that your iPhone 5 is in transit and whether or not it is scheduled to be delivered on Friday the 21st to coincide with when the iPhone 5 will be available in stores. And did you pre-order through the Apple store or through one of the carriers, e.g. Verizon or AT&T? And did you pre-order early on Friday the 14th or are you hours or days back in the pre-order queue?

Wahoo! Just finished up my pre-order on Verizon's site. (Apple site still displaying "We'll be back" page as of 3:18 AM EST). Definitely says 9/21 DELIVERY, not SHIPPING ...

IPhone trade in / pre-order with corporate paid bill

In trying to pre-order the iPhone 6, I get the following message. I suspect it's because my monthly bill is paid for by my company. Can I take my iPhone 4 to a Verizon store for the $200 trade? Can I apply the $200 to a purchase of a iPhone 6 in-store (not a gift card)? Can I pre-order with Verizon to ensure I can pick up the phone on 9/19? ERROR: We're sorry, but we could not complete your transaction for one of the following reasons:
You are not the registered account owner; please sign in with the Account Owner mobile number and password to complete your transaction, or update your profile to Account Owner in My Verizon.
You are not authorized to make changes to this business account; please contact your company's administrator to process this transaction.
You are attempting to activate on a prepay account, which is not available at this time.

mcmullgr,
I am very sorry to hear of the issues you had with ordering your phone. Given that you are on a business account to trade in and order your device please contact your "Point of contact" for you business line/account as they would have access to process these orders for you.

How many phones can I pre order?

Does anyone know if there will be a limit on how many phones we can pre order? Both my lines are due for upgrades. I may add another line as well.

The iPhone 4 will be available for pre-order to Verizon Wireless customers only, on a "first come, first serve" basis via VerizonWireless.com, on or around February 3rd 2011.

If I wanted to exchange my iPhone 5 for the new iPhone 6 (no additional cost after $199 gift card from selling iPhone 5) do I have to pre-order online or do I just have to show up at a Verizon store Sept 19th?

If I wanted to exchange my iPhone 5 for the new iPhone 6 (no additional cost after $199 gift card from selling iPhone 5) can I pre-order online now or do I just have to show up at a Verizon store Sept 19th?

scodaddy, that is a wonderful question. We are super excited about the new iPhone. You can always pre-order your new iPhone online and then start the mail in rebate by following this link: http://bit.ly/GGnDDC Or you can always go into the store location and do it all in store on the 19th when the phone is launched. That would depend on if the store has them in stock when you go in. I hope that this was able to address your concern.

I pre-ordered an iPhone 6 Plus and the delivery date now says October 14th. The point of the pre-order is to get it on release day (or shortly thereafter). Can I go to a Verizon store to pick up my new phone on release day?

I'm not sure that answers the question Candice.
I'm in the same situation. I was up trying to get on the Verizon page at 11:55, kept getting the ECPD error. When finally got through, the Silver Iphone Plus 64 showed arrival of 9-19. At every step of the process, it seemed that I was ordering a phone that would arrive on day1. At no point did it say this was an estimate. At no point did it say it might change. In a big yellow box, it said "9-19". Ordered it, then got confirmation email stating it should arrive at 9-19. Seems like all should be good, right? Order site said 9-19, I've got a confirmation email saying 9-19, done and done.
Then I check the website, and suddenly it changed to 10-14?!?!?!? I feel like this was a bait and switch. I was able to pickup an iphone5 in a local store on launch day, and would not have locked myself into a preorder through Verizon if I had known this would happen!
So, that leads back to the original questions. Lets assume I walk into a Verizon store on 9-19, and there is an available iphone6 plus just sitting there, can I either get that phone as fulfillment of my pre-order. Or, cancel my pre-order and buy that phone right then and there?

PS: It seems there are many people you misled this way. For every person who takes the time to post on this site, there are going to be many many more who are silently ****** off.

Where to Pre-Order iPhone 5? Apple or Verizon? Verizon Plan?

Hi, so I plan to pre-order the iPhone 5 tomorrow morning, but I'm not sure where I should do this. I have Verizon, so should I preorder on their website, or Apple's (assuming the website is up and running)? I plan to do this around 6:30 am Central time, so about 4 hours in. Is this soon enough? I'd like to make sure I get it on the 21st.
Also, I'm part of a family plan that we've had on verizon. We have two iPhone 4's both with unlimited because we were allowed to keep it on those phones after they removed unlimited option. The other two phones in the plan are basic phones, and the iPhone 5 will only be replacing one of the basic phones right now. So will it make us change the plan right then and there during preorder from verizon or something? And when we do have to change to a share everything plan, is 6 gb data er month enough for 2 moderate/slightly-heavy data users, one moderate/low data user, and one non-data using basic phone?
Thanks in advance!
-Josh
(Both Verizon and Apple pre-orders I'm talking about are online.)

It is very simple. At the aforementioned time you point your browser to http://www.apple.com/store click the links on the store that are representative of the iPhone 5, choose your carrier, enter the requested information and follow the pages. Just like placing an order on most any e-commerce site.

Pre-order question for iPhone5/Verizon

I have a quick question...
My wife and son currently have the iPhone4 with AT&T and they are now out of contract. I'm currently on Verizon. I want to change their carrier and pre-order the iPhone5 for both of them from Verizon. I want to add those lines to my existing Verizon account and transfer their numbers as well. Would I be able to do this through this through the Apple Store's web-pre-order system? (or possibly Verizon's?) or will I have to speak with someone about doing this?
Thank you so much in advance

Here's what AT&T had to say about new customers when the 3GS was launched. I'd guess the same applies to iphone 4:

Verizon iPhone pre-order!!

Dear, Verizon
the suspense is killing me LOL I can't wait for the Verizon iPhone is there any way you could make the pre-order date earlier?? I would feel so much better and be able to relax if I knew my pre-order was in already and just wait for the shipment confirmation. Just a though thanks.

just a few more days till we have details friend!
Dont worry though. they are doing this a lot differently than they previously did in the past.
Take the droid x, first come first serve on....150,000 units...debacle
Iphone will have several million available on launch. if it was anything like att, pre orders will sell out in about 16 hours and feb 10th, you will have to wait in line but it will take 2-3 days to sell out then.
If you cant get a iphone on the 3rd, i suggest hitting up a verizon corp store that is in a small town and get their midnight, they will open at 7am for the iphone.
best of luck

Where will it ship to when pre-ordering my house or nearest Verizon Wireless Store?

Where will it ship when pre-ordered? Does this depend if you order through Apple or if you order through your carrier like Verizon or AT&T?

Do you want it faster, or are you worried about it sitting on your porch?
If you are worried about theft, use the tracking number to see if they require a signature or will leave it unattended.

Pre order online to pick up in local Verizon Store

I pre ordered the iPhone 6plus and my expected ship date isn't until 24OCT. Is there any way i can pick one up at a local Verizon store that already have them??

I understand how eager you are leviiaj. You can certainly purchase it at a store if there's stock available, but this can't be guaranteed. In addition, you would need to cancel the pre-order placed online before you can upgrade at a store.

Verizon Changed Our Pre-Order Date

Verizon CHANGED the pre-order date from our original 09/19 confirmation at checkout. Our email confirmation shows 10/07 WHY? What was the point in staying up to 3:AM? We could have went to Apple's site but chose Verizon because of the date of arrival. This is what happens when you're a customer for years.

Apparently, thousands
Sorry, that's not the point. It you're spending money on phone, AND renewing a contract for the umpteenth time, then we at least need answers. You don't pre-order an item , only to have the date changed without even a warning that this may occur. Whether it be a $20.00 or a $400 one.
We can also be quiet about it and accept whatever companies throw our way. No thanks.
