Question - World Phone Pre-Order Question

I understand the new phones are dual mode - but when I pre-ordered it asked if I wanted the world features or something - and I selected NO.
What did this do? or didn't do? Because in fact I do plan to use it outside the US if I can.
Thanks in advance,

It just made it so you're NOT paying for international service, if you would go traveling in the future or something, you should be able to add it on, but right now you'd only have service in the US

  • Business Phone Pre-Orders

    Has anyone who is a business customer and pre ordered over the phone prior to 11 AM, received their shipment email or tracking number? I get a new story every time I call a business center rep (one told me mine wasnt shipping until 10/5 and after I started screaming realized his mistake and said that he didnt actually have the information up, dumb ***!) I know that we had to wait to pre order until 7 AM but I was told we have a seperate inventory, can anyone confirm that?

    I ordered via our business specific site on the 14th.  The email I received from Verizon says my phone will arrive on 9/21 via Fedex Overnight delivery.  That means they have to ship it by tomorrow.  My order was placed with them at 9:26 am on 9/14.  I've checked for the last two days using the Order Status link on the Verizon website.  It continues to say "This order is for a product not currently available in our warehouses. When we receive the inventory, we will process payment and ship it immediately. You will receive notification when this occurs."
    I've not gotten any email update saying that I will not receive this as promised on Friday and since the shipment method is FedEx overnight I guess it's still possible for them to deliver it on time.  I'll know tomorrow if the website doesn't update to show a shipment has occurred.

  • How has the pre-order process work for phones?

    I have some questions pertaining to prior phone pre-order processes.  I will be upgrading to the next iphone, whenever it launches.  When I pre-order do I pay the full price for the phone, or do I just pay the upgrade price?  Also, do most pre-ordered items arrive the day of launch, or do they ship day of launch?
    Thanks folks.

    What price you pay is completely dependent on whether you are eligible for a subsidised upgrade from your carrier.
    Usually, most pre-ordered items are scheduled to be delivered on launch day.

  • Pre ordered twice for the same number?

    I pre ordered from att first. I didnt think it went through so i ordered from apple and got a email right away. Now it says i pre ordered from att on 6/16 when i ordered on 6/15. i spoke to a att and they said i would be getting both iphones and it shouldnt delay or interfear with the delivery time? Is all this true?

    The same thing happened to me, except my Apple order was for one phone and my AT&T order was for three phones. So, one of my phone numbers had two phones pre-ordered... one from each company. I called AT&T to switch one of the phones to another number on my plan, but they wouldn't allow any changes to the original order except cancellation of the entire order. I told them I was concerned my Apple order would be cancelled which I definitely don't want to happen since it is the only one that has a confirmed June 24 delivery. She told me I would probably receive two phones for the one number and would eventually be charged the full price for the second phone. She said I would have to return the phone to avoid being charged full price.

  • IPhone 4 Pre Order Question PLEASE HELP !

    I am sure there was 100 posts about this but I cant find the answer thats set in stone, even AT&T couldnt help me. I signed up with AT&T in April got an iPhone 3Gs. Obviously, I am not eligible for an upgrade. Now my first question is the text message said we can offer you a discounted iPhone upgrade at a higher price with a 2 yr commitment and a $18 upgrade fee. What is THAT price?! Also, due to some credit issues, I had to leave a $300 deposit with AT&T to start my contract with them, am I going to have to leave another $300 deposit ?! I want to pre order the phone on the 15th, so someone PLEASE help

    The USUAL "higher price" discounted phones are $399 for the 16GB and $499 for the 32GB ($299 for the 8GB 3GS).
    Only AT&T can tell you for certain whether another deposit is needed or whether the prices I quoted apply to you.

  • Sprint Note 4 pre-order disappointment... Rant and questions!

    The only reason I still shop at best buy was because prior to my current experience their price matching couldn't be beat.
    I understand that patience is a venture and I will receive my pre-order eventually, but I find that I feel like I am continously being told tomorrow. It's clear that there is a lack of communication to each branch about stock or pre-order fulfilment.
    I am also irritated because I have a 30$ coupon from my rewards that is most likely going to expire before I even get my phone.
    What I am looking for is a clear way to get a date of the arrival of my pre-order.
    Being told I can come in when I get an email seems like a cop-out. I just want a clear answer so I know when to expect my item. Not to be scrolling through junk mail to see if maybe I am one of the lucky ones (heaven forbid you miss that email since they put a 24 hour restriction on you to pick it up.)
    Also would love a straight forward answers.
    Is best buy selling any note 4s outside of a pre-order?
    If I am able to fulfill my pre-order at a different best buy then my original location?
    Last question!
    Why should I ever come back?
    I rather hear that the employees don't know, then be given false hope. All those things that can be price matched I can just buy from the competition at the lower price.

    Hello SpiderByt3s,
    There’s quite a buzz around the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (understandably so), and if it weren’t for the fact that I just got a new smartphone a few months ago, this would be one I’d be interested in too.  From a personal perspective, waiting for new electronics can excruciating as I like to get my hands on my devices as soon as humanly possible. It’s understandable that you’d want to know when your phone is arriving, and I’m sorry for any frustration you’ve possibly endured while trying to figure this out.
    Best Buy does make an effort to procure as much inventory as possible for new releases; however, sometimes the demand is higher than anticipated! If this happens, we realize that it can cause unintentional frustration and to avoid that, it sounds like you placed an online order for in store pickup. When an online order for store pickup is placed, we do ask that you wait for an email that confirms your purchase is available. I understand your eagerness to get your hands on your new Note 4 though, so I’m sure it’s disappointing to find that we didn’t have your order ready on release date.
    While we do fulfill pre-orders based on the date on which we first receive them, each store has their own list of pre-orders to honor. For example, store A has 30 pre-orders and store B has 15. If both stores receive 20 phones on release date, store A will notify the first 20 people on their pre-order list that their phone is ready for pickup. Their 10 remaining pre-orders will then have to wait until a new shipment arrives. On the other hand, store B will notify their 15 customers that their phones are ready, and the five phones will be placed on the shelf for all to purchase.
    Having said this, I understand why you’d want to know when your phone is due to arrive. We’d hate to give you an exact date should your shipment incur a delay, so as a way to avoid any potential disappoint with unintentional incorrect dates, we should be providing you an email once your phone is available for pick up. Once you receive this, you should have 48 hours to pick up your phone.  I apologize for any frustration that this waiting may be causing.
    Your My Best Buy certificate is another thing entirely. It sounds like you might have resolved this already, but on the off chance you still require assistance with this, please send me a private message with your full name and My Best Buy account number and I’ll be glad to see what options are available to assist you.
    Best wishes,

  • Warlords of Draenor CE Pre-Order Question

    Hi,
    I just pre-ordered the Warlords of Draenor Collectors Edition.  Last year, when I pre-ordered the Mists of Pandaria CE, an email was sent to me with a product code so that I could go ahead and attach the expansion to my battle.net account.  Will the same thing happen for Warlords of Draenor?
    Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi TemporalParadox,
    Good question! It's my understanding that the Mists of Pandaria codes you're referring to were for the beta of that expansion, not the actual product key. Since no such early access has been announced for Warlords of Draenor (yet, anyhow), you'll need to wait for a product key until you receive your physical copy of the game.
    If Blizzard decides to offer early access or other pre-order bonuses down the road, then make sure to keep an eye on BestBuy.com for updates. That'll be the first place we post info on new offers and promotions.
    Thanks for your interest in pre-ordering World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor with us!

    I think that's all I have for now.
    Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks

  • Pre-Order Question

    So I pre-ordered Titanfall for Xbox1, but I won't be in town when it comes out and one of my friends really wants to pick it up on the 11th at the midnight release. Is there any way to change the name on the pre-order, or would I have to cancel the one I have and create a new pre-order?

    Hi cgarvey4,
    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we don't currently offer a way to update the name associated with pre-orders. To have a friend pick up the game for you, you would need to cancel your existing pre-order and place a new one in their name. Also, remember that pre-orders must be picked up within 5 days of the title's release! If you aren't able to pick up your copy of Titanfall within that timeframe, then it will be returned to store inventory and made available for purchase to other customers.
    Let me know if you have any other questions!

  • 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:

  • IPhone pre-order question.

    I pre-ordered my iPhone 4 to be picked up at the Apple Store in my area. I chose the 32G like I did last year, but I've never used more than 12G at one time, so I think it's a waist to get the 32G, so I'm wanting to know when I pick up my iPhone 4 32G, can they change it to the 16G? I've tried calling the Apple Store and Apple's main line and apparently they don't staff enough people to take calls when it gets busy. Apple's main line won't even let you wait to speak to a representative. If anyone knows the answer to my question, please respond.

    Most likely they will not be able to answer your question now. I would think they will be willing to give you the 16 GB instead of the 32 GB you pre-ordered, but it's going to depend on the available stock in whatever store you're picking up at, at the time you get there. If they've sold out of the 16 GB model, then can't change your order.

  • Pre-order pickup, reward certificat​e, and payment option questions

    I pre-ordered an item on bestbuy.com for pickup at a local store. When I got there, I asked if I can use my reward certificate and the customer rep said that I couldn't. Is that true? 
    Another person next to her said she could back out the charges and re-enter the item, but when I told her I got it at a special pre-order price (gamers club unlocked price) she said she wouldn't be able to honor it.
    Also, if I bought an item online and picked it up at the store. Can I change my payment method at the register? I asked someone a couple weeks ago and they said they couldn't change payment methods.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi there Mcbutters-
    We appreciate that you choose Best Buy to place your pre-order!  I’m sorry to hear about the confusion you’ve had with this order and some others around how to get that reward certificate added to an order.  Hopefully I can help clear some things up for you.
    To answer your first paragraph, that it technically true.  When you place an order for in-store pickup, you are charged for the order when the store indicates it is ready for pickup.  At that point, the payment method cannot be changed.  However, once the transaction is complete, the store may be able to perform a return and then re-ring the purchase for you.  Keep in mind however, that any funds used from gift cards, reward certificates and your credit card would not be immediately available as in general it takes a few business days for those funds to go back on the cards or accounts.
    This leads me to my next point, which is generally we are unable to modify the payment method beyond changing a credit card on your order beyond 30 minutes after the order has been placed.  While your credit card is not charged until the item ships or the store indicates that it is ready for pickup, the card is generally authorized right away for 3-5 business days.  This is the same time frame we offer for changing shipping or pickup options as well, you can find more information on that here.  Another option would be to do as Batman1982 suggested and cancel your order to then place a new one.  Again, it may take a few business days for funds to return to gift cards, your My Best Buy account, etc.
    However, there should be no reason why they would not have been able to apply the 20% off new games software benefit that you get from being a Gamers Club Unlocked member.
    I hope that this helps, but if you have any further questions, please let me know.

  • Pre-ordering an album?!? Quick question?

    I plan on pre-ordering an album. But I do know that you get an album for a discount if you purchase singles from it. I've purchased two already. My question is can I pre-order the album at a discount? And if so, how? Thanks.

    Only when it's released - some pre-orders have tracks which are released before the actual album, which will download as they are released, but the rest of the album you will only be able to hear and download when it's released

  • Pre-Order Question - Audio

    Since it might be soon I can pre-order for Canada I have a question some of you current owners might be able to answer. I want to use my iPad to take in our RV with us, to watch Movies and Tv Shows from our iTunes while we are on the road. I am assuming that with each synch it will keep track of what episodes have been watched, like my Apple TV's do? But more important is the audio for TV shows or Movies. While running on battery and with nothing to plug an iPad in to, how is the audio quality on the speaker for two people to watch a TV show with? Would it be possible to plug two sets of headphones into it? Is there a headphone jack? Any answers are appreciated - thanks in advance!
    Brian.

    how is the audio quality on the speaker for two people to watch a TV show with?
    As you'd expect from a very thin device with very small speakers, the sound is not going to be great. It's adequate in my limited experience, but whether it would be loud enough in an RV for two people I'm not sure yet.
    Would it be possible to plug two sets of headphones into it? Is there a headphone jack?
    There is a headphone jack, and it might be possible to use two sets of headphone with an appropriate splitter (check places like Radio Shack). Perhaps, though, you could use a set of battery-powered speakers. That might be more satisfactory.
    Regards.

  • PS4 Pre-order Question.

    This topic has been moved to Customer Service under the board Other Customer Service Support for further review.

    Hi there K3Nyy, 
    The Destiny: The Taken King PlayStation 4 console looks pretty awesome and I can understand wanting to save a bit of money on a console. Sadly, it seems that the Movers Coupon excludes gaming consoles, so you wouldn't be able to utilize this coupon on this item, pre-order or otherwise. I apologize for any disappointment that this news may bring you. If you should have any other questions, please let me know.
