If it looks like this (GSM), you are good to go! Just put in that nano SIM!
Thanks. The GSM part confused me a little.

What the fuck are you supposed to do with 500MB?!

Yep, you're good to go; can't wait to take out the Nano SIM out of my 3GS to use it on my iPhone 6!
What I wanna know is if this model also works on all bands of ATT's GSM network, just in case a good MVNO pops up in the future...

Expected Ship Date: 10/31/2014 To 11/11/2014
really??
really??
So they will ship it soon? What did you order and from where?
I had this problem with Sprint a while back. Years ago, I guess. They unilaterally switched my plan from a great plan to a plan that cost more money and had less minutes/data. When I called them to ask why I was switched, they said "well, you called and requested it." So I replied, "are you saying that I called you and said, 'Please charge me more money and give me fewer minutes and a smaller data plan'? That's seriously what I did?" I never did get it switched back, but left Sprint shortly thereafter.

Yup. That's why I had to buy direct, happened with the 4s when it launched, happening now.
It's rogers tactics to kick people off the old plans. Cheapest 6gb plan is 120$
I don't have another Apple product to do this with. Just my Galaxy Note 2 and a PC.

I'm preparing for shipment. But I had accidently hit cancel at one point so im unsure whether order is still valid. Fairly worried.
Call them up. I submitted a cancellation on the site last night, woke up still showed. Gave them a call, lady looked up my account canceled ordered. It disappeared within minutes after phone call. This was with AT&T btw.
I KNOW! Especially with an LTE/4G phone.
Did you buy from Apple then? Or did you tell Rogers you wanted an unlocked phone?

I did. Rep said order was still in but their system is 6-8 hours behind she said.
My Apple.com order from 7am this morning got processed faster than my AT&T premier order from 2:30am last night.
My premier order just auto cancelled since I'm not eligible (since Apple order took over my AT&T Next upgrade).
I've been trying to cancel my AT&T order so this is good; I just found it funny.

Which number did you call? I've had no luck getting through to any and I'm in the same boat where I cancelled but didn't get a confirmation and the order is still showing up, while my Apple order is billed and done.
Are there any decent minimal TPU 4.7-inch cases that dont cover the buttons? The ones from Monoprice covers everything but the small button, the case from the same makers of my Galaxy S3 case does the same, even Apple's own case covers the buttons. Otherwise these cases are all fine, but covered buttons feel awful to me (my Galaxy S3 case was awesome because of it, the case didn't cover the buttons, so really looking for about the same.

Main order line. Their system is fucked right now.

Wait, does Apple customarily put a charge on your card (0.00 as of now) even if the product is 3-4 weeks away?
Read my post above yours. Did you do an "upgrade" for both orders? If so, you AT&T one should cancel I think.
I was in the same boat as you where clicking "cancel preorder" just kicked me back to the "Enter order number" page. Just got the email saying they cancelled since I wasn't eligible.
It's not a charge. It's a hold.
They're completely different. The answer is "yes," though.
some people I know at work who tried to get iphone 5s’s or other updates recently have come across this. I think I know 3 people who had issues trying to renew existing contracts and also buy iPhones or flagship android phones at advertised prices.
it’s the move from 3 year to 2 year contracts. you need a more expensive minimum priced plan (typically $70) to get the advertised upgrade price on the phone. it used to be you could get upgrade pricing with minimum $50 plans cuz they had you looked for 3 years.

Straight to apple this time. I know people who claim they're getting unlocked phones and aren't getting their plans touched. I have my doubts.
The 611 number. I called them at around 7:45am pacific time.

Called an ATT rep about that cause I'm also on a 10gb shared plan with my wife. They basically said when you add that phone to your existing plan that your existing plan will override the 1gb plan.

Groovy, thanks.
I'm glad I went with the less popular option this time, here's hoping for day one!
Two-year contracts wouldn't ever have been so bad if phone companies didn't also charge you to change your phone. It's kind of ridiculous.
At least some U.S. companies are getting away from upgrade fees.
The hold just makes sure Apple gets its money. The hold isn't reflected in your balance or charge until the item ships, which is when the hold becomes a transaction.
Yea I did the same. Saw your post after mine.
just got through though with att so hoping this clears it up
yeah, i did. we had 3 year contracts, CRTC (govt body) got contracts reduced to 2 years, but phone companies increased minimum plans in order to get the same subsidy in shorter time.
If the 6 Plus is not big enough to be called a phablet, I don't know what is.

I will NEVER go on another subsidized plan with a Canadian carrier to save a few hundred dollars on any phone. I got out of my 3 year Rogers contract earlier this year and am buying an unlocked 6. I'll just stick with my current Rogers service plan (as crappy as it is it's still a much better deal than what they're offering on their new revamped 2 year plans). I'll just flex it over to another carrier when I can find a better deal. I paid a premium for my new phone but the freedom is more than worth it.
The government's legislation last year to do away with mandatory 3 year plans was a noble effort. Of course, the big 3 responded by offering worse rates over a shorter period. The Canadian cellular industry is easily among the slimiest on the planet.
It is pretty damn big.

If anyone here is wondering what the actual size and size differences of the iPhone 6 and Plus will be in comparison to the iPhone 5 I would highly suggest you download this PDF from a Dutch IOS based fansite.

This A4 PDF format is on a true scale. I tested it with my iPhone 5.

Been trying to contact Apple Customer Service this whole morning either via phone or chat to confirm my order early this morning via the Apple Store App, especially since I can't even view my order online. Seems like it's jammed.
I got an e-mail confirmation and everything once I completed my order (even my card was charged) but now I can't see anything.
Geez. =(

So there is no need to worry then?
Also is this charge on the 5 normal?
Code:
For iPhone on LTE $40.00
Service Discount -$5.00HUELEN10

While I disagree (odd-number columns, really?), just give the jailbreak scene a little time; they've done it prior, and if/once this thing get s a Jailbreak, I would be shocked if it wouldn't be one of the first tweaks.
I was able to get back in and check order status a minute ago.
