After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
I have grandfathered unlimited data with Verizon... Verizon's Ordering Process (paying full retail) wont let me keep it. Should I go ahead now and fix it later?
I had the same problem! I spent over an hour trying to get through both the Apple and the Sprint site. I finally got through at Apple and when I was trying to check out it told me that I had to do a deposit in the store and wouldn't let me buy it. I was soo mad! I had to spend another 30 minutes before everything went through on the Sprint site.Waited until 1AM Local time, got through to the apple site around 1:15.
Was told that I may have to do a credit deposit, which is frustrating, because I didn't have to do it for the 4S or any other phone that I have gotten. (I also have exceptional credit score, why this would come up is beyond me)
So I had to wait for the At&t site to go up. As soon as the phones went to two weeks on the Apple website I just went to bed. I still hadn't pre ordered a phone.
Woke up 4 hours later and just finished my pre order about 20 minutes ago. At&t asked me nothing about credit deposits or anything like that. The pre order went smooth as silk.
I'm pretty frustrated as to why this happened on Apples site. I lost my chance to get the phone from day 1. My only other option would be to wait in line and considering I work on Fridays that isn't an option. Whatever. I'm going back to bed.
Got a 32GB Black.
