How do you login to Premier?
I'm not sure. I'm on the AT&T premier site and can't log in. I work at a school so I get a discount, but it won't accept my login. Something's fishy here... Investigating.

Just got off the phone with AT&T. CSR said their systems are going "crazy" with order numbers and they can't find mine. Not that it's not valid, just that they can't check it now. Recommended I call back in the morning.

So help me God, if this order didn't go through I'm going to go @#$% nuts!

My employer has us set up on the discounted plans also. It still won't accept it as a valid discount for preorders. I may have to call...

I also tried a premier or "education" discount and it didn't recognize either. How does a person get a premier?
Show your school ID at any AT&T store and you can get hooked up with the discount.

Please allow me the opportunity to rant here...

Just got off the phone with AT&T. Was on hold for 30 minutes, and all I wanted to confirm was that I would get the phones on the 21st. When I check online all I get are things like "processing" and "will be shipped when available". Too vague for me. I want answers, specifics. CSR looked at my order and now says it will be shipped October 4th through 14th! WTF! I ordered at 7am CST and got an email after this stating my phone had been "reserved". Why is it now back ordered? Gave her a mouth full, but all she said that there was a delay in ALL preorders of the iPhone 5. That's fine if I didn't get up early enough or others had ordered before me, but why send me an email saying mine was "reserved". Never again will I preorder with AT&T. I'm staying up late like everyone else from now on and ordering through the iPhone app. I'm furious right now! I'm still hoping AT&T doesn't know what they are talking about and I'll still get mine. Otherwise, I'm taking the day off and getting in line. Ugh.

It seems as if ppl ordering from Apple are having an easier time. They had someone on another site who ordered their iPhone yesterday afternoon. And posted a screenshot showing how Apple had said it was ready to ship! And i was like wtf? I am still in limbo with AT&T and this person ordered the same phone yesterday afternoon, and it is ready to ship already!

jmp316: How did you get a CSR to verify your order status? I just got off the phone with AT&T and they indicated that there was no way to tell me if I got in the first round of orders or not. I ordered my phone at 3:05 AM and got my processed email at 3:14 AM. I would assume I got in, but she said she couldn't tell me until the phone actually SHIPS.

She also said that she has been told that the iPhone 5 will SHIP from AT&T on Sept 21. That would mean a Sat or Monday delivery. Not a HUGE deal, but VERY misleading if that happens. They'll have a TON of irate customers should that be the case.

Just wanted to see how you got your info. Good luck, bro!

I am interested in that also. They have some ppl who swear that live chat told them their phone would be in by the 21st. But when i tried live chat, they said they had no way of telling me when i would get it. That i would have to wait for an email telling me it was shipped. And they had no idea when that email would get to me.

All orders placed now on any site will be two weeks delivery. Those placed upon release time are still on a 9/21 delivery timeframe.

Check out the article. Doesn't sound like it.

I ordered mine on 9/14 and it still says Processing.

What I got from the article was that AT&T pre-orders made before they ran out of stock will ship by the 21st and anything after they ran out of stock is now 2-3 weeks..

BTW.. I ordered 40 min after it started and mine still says processing as well.. However, AT&T told me when I called to inquire that mine has an estimated ship day of 9-20...
