Frequently Asked Questions

Why am I unable to complete my order right now?

We are currently unable to reach your carrier’s systems to process the information that you have provided. We will hold on to the information you have entered and use it to confirm phone pricing and eligibility for your account.

What will determine my eligibility?

If you are starting a new account with your carrier, they will run a credit check using the billing information that you have provided and confirm that service is available in your area. A carrier deposit may be required. If you are buying an iPhone for an existing carrier line, they will confirm that your account is in good standing and determine, based on where you are in your carrier contract, the price for which you are eligible.

I've never realized that preordering was this fubar either.... Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh.... I'm not complaining.... Who KNOWS how many people all over the world were just trying to order these little suckers...but yowza! You could almost hear the Apple techs cursing and then throwing other site pages / plans into action... Sweet dreams to all... Hopefully, we'll get the confirmation emails soon and the rest of this process will go smoothly.

I got the same message... and i received the first confirmation email.... I hope this works.. and that my iphone is really reserved.. it did say that it would deliver on the 14th.. Im sure apple planned for this massive preorder...

Hopefully.... Cant wait till i get the next email...I didnt want to preorder from ATT because it said shipping was not guaranteed and that it could vary...

My phone is reserved also... I don't know if we are still going to be able to recieve our phones by the 14th.. I believe it's all up to the provider, providing our account info to the apple website. If the providers don't provide all account information and what not by a caertain time, then we will indeed have to wait longer. Should we just stand in line at the stores? 😢


Any input on this? How long will it take to retrieve our account information from the providers? 😕

@jacob the white: They said they have a phone for us, so I wouldn't go stand in line. (I could end up being wrong about this, but I wouldn't stress.) It shouldn't take too long for them to get all of our information from our carriers. I think the technology couldn't keep up with ALL of the different people from all over the globe requesting that information of the carriers via Apple ALL at the SAME time. I'm being optimistic here, but my hope is that, now, that they all have us "lining up" if you will - that they'll be able to process information in a streamlined fashion instead of all of us overloading the system simultaneously.
