MHowell Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I want to start by saying I have been waiting a REALLY long time for iPhone to come to Verizon. And when it did, I knew that if I was patient, another one would come out soon. So I waited, and sure enough here is the 4S. Needless to say I have been wanting to get it, and am finally ready to. Monday I called the Apple Store nearby to see if they had any in stock. Nope they did not, but they instructed me on how to reserve one online, and how they get a shipment every. single. day. I think to myself, hey great! I can't get one today but I'll get it tomorrow. Nope, wrong again. I am getting tired of trying to reserve the phone, and making sure I am on the computer at 9 pm every night sucks. I cannot order through the Apple website because my billing address for Verizon is a PO Box, and they will only ship to your address on file. AppleCare+ is totally worth it to me to jump through some hoops to buy this phone, but this is crazy. I am frustrated, and tired of waiting. :rant: Okay I feel better now. thanks for reading :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadianmumof5 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I just traded in my old BlackBerry last week for this new iPhone. While it is a nifty little phone (Siri is very cool), I should have listened to my DH and stuck with the BB :glare: I miss the BBM function and being able to pin DH anytime. I'm stuck with this phone for 3 years now........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keptwoman Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 We had the same issue with the iPhone 4, it took me forever to be able to get it, it was selling out as fast as shops could get it in. This time around, the 4S is freely available here, heaps of stock. Excuse my ignorance of the US telecommunications industry, but does Verizon have storefronts? If so, you might have more luck calling and visiting them on a daily basis, that's how we got my 4, and it was easier that way than ordering online this time too.

Amy1k Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I love my iPhone 4s!!! I also switched from a Blackberry. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontier Mom Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I have a BB but I am not eligible for an upgrade until next fall. Who knows what will be out by then. Enjoy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samiam Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 You know you can still get your iPhone 4s from Verizon, and then call Applecare directly to add Applecare+. The deadline to do that is Nov 14th. Not sure if you would have an iPhone 4s from Verizon quicker than Apple though. Other option, is to change your billing address on your Verizon account for a day or two, to your street address. Then go to Apple.com and order your iPhone and your new billing address will populate on your iPhone order. Then go back to your Verizon account and change your address back to your P.O. box. Ordering online is going to be way quicker than reserving. The stores are only getting a very limited quantity each day, and obviously the 16GB is the most popular, as most affordable.

Slone07 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I bought one for my husband as his anniversary present. Everyone was out of stock except for Best Buy. We upgraded his there and it was the easiest thing in the world. We're with AT&T, and it's always a hassle for us to upgrade (I use his upgrade, he uses mine... and the customer service folks just freak out every time we upgrade). The Best Buy guy was able to take care of everything in about 10 minutes...it was amazing. LOL Anyway, you might want to check there.

Shellers Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I'm with Verizon too. I switched from a BB Bold to an iPhone 4S last week. I really miss BBM but overall I'm really happy I made the switch! Siri is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
