I switch phones anyways we have 3 lines so I drop at AT&T and they do it all for me.
But if you preorder the Applesite is connected to your carrier and the phone should be send with the sim card.
You do not need to connect anymore per computer to set up your phone either.
I believe as soon you activate the new phone the old sim is voided.

By the way we are here right with you! From the moment the phone goes to pre order, to package tracking and the minuted the first person posted Fed Ex just rang my bell !

I have stood in line at the Apple Store every time I upgraded on launch day. I know someone who got his phone a day early because he pre-ordered it directly from AT&T's site. I don't know if they are going to be more careful from now on but it definitely changed my mind about waking up so early to go stand in line!

Tattooed Alex I did manage to go through the App,
usually so do not use the App for ordering I go to the store. When it comes time, I do check the App again. Since they made so many upgrades that it may just be the fastest way. I also have to add a new CC and address . I will have to do all this before hand.

gregsho Ah this question brings back horrifying memories of ordering the iPhone 4S last year. I couldn't get through on the Apple site and I panicked and went to the AT&T site where I had no problem. Little did I know that ordering from AT&T was a bad move for more than one reason.
I ordered two iPhone 4S's and straight off there were issues. I received the one email and then nothing else. AT&T took forever to update my information as of the purchase status.
I thought when they were ready to ship the phones I would be charged for them officially. No! AT&T took the money two months later. Wait, it could have been nine weeks. It was a long time and I had never experienced that before with any purchse in my shopping life.
When I had a problem with my iPhone 4S and took it to the Apple store for help, I got a rude awakening. The problem has since worked itself out with updates, but at the time I actually needed my phone swapped out. Unfortunately, because I purchased the phone from AT&T I was told that I had to return the phone to AT&T and then buy another phone from Apple. Because I purchased it from AT&T they would not swap out my defective phone. The Genius told me that and then the manager told me the same thing. I said, you are telling me I am being penalized because I purchased this phone from AT&T. They tried to make it sound nice, but the answer was yes. I tell you, that was enough to make me want to throw the phone at the display and leave the store but I kept it and called Apple and lodged a complaint against the store.
All that being said, I will never order my iPhone from AT&T again. It's more troube than its worth.
I have gone to the Apple store on 5th Avenue and pruchased my iPhone 3G, 3GS and iPhone 4 but I was tired of that whole thing and decided to try and order it and get the phone at my home on launch day. Although I had a bad experience with AT&T I will order the next phone from Apple this time. Getting the phone on launch day at my house was a great experience that I will do again, just never from AT&T.
