Pre-order the iPhone 4 from Apple OR AT&T=Realese Date Delivery

Unless the rules changed from when I was a manager there,
PPU is acceptable because a lot of family plans have kids
that are in college and do not live at home (billing address).

Also, the reason I know this is possible is because the
accounts that have PO Boxes, we would ship to the PPU.

Not to mention she won't be at a loss if they say no.
She'll just be back to her original plan -- square 1.

Tru, for any other device that would be ok except the iPhone. They are super paranoid about fraud, which is why they'll only ship to billing addresses only. If she changed her billing address to a PO Box, then she could ship to PPU.

Ok so I talked to a rep in at a local AT&T store and she said you could only preorder with a credit card and a debit card would not work. Anyone know anything about this? Seems like a debit card would work. Maybe the rep didn't really know? I don't have a credit card so I may have to use my fathers credit card if this is the case.

thats BULL!

thats BULL!

That's what I figured/hoped.

I did just find this on another forum " Remember, Apple will take both Credit Card or Debit Card whereas AT&T will only take Credit Card."

 

[WcHorse]

Also if I order from Apple do I have the option of having it shipped to an AT&T store? My closest AT&T store is 3 minutes away and the closest Apple store is in a mall about 45 minutes away! I would prefer not to drive an hour and a half round trip if I could avoid it. Does AT&T have a smaller number they can order than Apple.com? Or is there like one big number and number and the both just order until they're gone?

What if I bought the 3GS earlier this month? Am I not allowed to preorder it because I have to return the 3GS first right? I bought it to get grandfathered in for the data plan.

Also FYI, Radioshack is also taking preorders on the 15th. The stores are opening up at 7am and they are giving customers that preorder with them an accessory credit. Plus I don't think you have to pay for the device in full, you do that when you go pick It up.

This states AT&T will in fact, not accept debit cards on preorders. That sucks.

I believe they are referring to the buyer entering the pin number for pre order. Debit cards can typically be used as a credit card as long as they have a credit card logo with them.

and wtf is a iPhone 3G|s| 8gb????????????? is that pdf even legit??? cause thats one hell of a mistake!

 

[Hack-My-i]

also, when they say "debit cards can not be used to preorder" i beleive they are referring to "ATM" cards...big difference and since they got one huge error with the "8gb 3G|s|" i wont be surprised if that was also an error because BrianT is correct. As long as u have Visa or Mastercard and can use it as a CC, u should be ok.

 

[WcHorse]

I'm pretty sure I read that they are releasing an 8gb 3Gs but it's not very well advertised or something from what I've read. That PDF is legit as far as I know.

I can't imagine that Apple won't have the option to reserve the iPhone for pick-up. They love the hype of lines forming.

AT&T on the other hand... I wouldn't be surprised if reservations weren't allowed. AT&T stores don't get nearly as many units as Apple stores.

ATT has imposed a one gun per person limit. I mean a one iPhone per person limit.

 

[ctt1wbw]

does anybody know the price?

750,000 Rupees.

 

[Hack-My-i]

750,000 Rupees.

lolllllllllllllllllll

2,524.78 pesos for 16gb

@loudrims_inc
actually they are releasing an 8GB 3GS.

 

[Hack-My-i]

really?! ok, i never heard or read anything about that...i wonder if the features will be identical to the 16gb
