Has anyone yet been able to upgrade an AT&T line to a 4S?

I have been trying now for an hour and I can't get past the part where it checks to see if I'm eligible for an upgrade. I've tried the Apple site, AT&T, and the Apple Store app. All just to get a variety of errors.

I pass that part once and saw a option to choose for data plan.
Because I saw unlimited data plan, I came here to check it. Now I have to start over
from begining, and I can't pass the checking the eligible. OTL

I did just now! Try using the AT&T website. The process was pretty fast after 4-5 times the Apple website couldn't process my order.

Well I seem to have one reserved, I just hope it's for launch date.

I got this:


Dear Apple Customer,
Your iPhone has been reserved and your reservation number is:
We will email you at this address (@yahoo.com) when it?s time to complete your order. At that time, you will return to the Apple Store to confirm pricing and plan selection.
You may check the status of your reservation at any time by visiting buyiphone.apple.com/status
Thank you,
The Apple Store Team

Completed mine on the iPhone App Store around 3:40am CT. Upgrade on AT&T. Took a while to get through, but finally did.

This happened to me too.

I was almost through an order when I had to select my data plan and I chose the unlimited (grandfathered plan) and it started processing then timed out.

Tried doing it again and again, but just kept receiving errors. AT&T site also just kept giving me same error messages as seen above.

Frustration!!

Same message for me. According to the FAQ at the bottom of the email, this message was due to communication issues with the carrier.

I got a pop up that said I was going to have my unlimmited data plan removed. Anyone else? Obviously, I canceled the transaction.

I got my email from Apple saying I can now log back in and finish my order. It worked on the first attempt. Apple grabbed all my account info from AT&T and had my unlimited data plan all correct. Ordered the white 32gb and my confirmation is for a 10/14 delivery!

Nicely done Apple

I had the same scenario happened to me when I tried ordering through AT&T's site. I cancelled as well.

Nicely done Apple is right.... I was confused at first, but it worked. I like that setup, since at&t was the issue...again with the auth process... apple found a way to manage that and make customers happy. I know I am.

I also still have unlimited data.
