I ordered me and my sisters iphone. We are on the family plan. Charge showed up on my statement and disappeared. I think that AT&T will bill you when you pick them up. I checked ups and mine and my sisters was delivered to AT&T this morning. Will be at AT&T tomorrow to pick them both up.

[...] on the phone-market. Thomas here from the Appleblog for example has a nice blog posting, in which he explains the pain he had to go through trying to pre-order a brandnew iPhone 3Gs from the Apple s…, where in the end he even had to switch and order it from AT&T [...]

In the same boat with the Family Plan–no information from AT&T or Apple on how to proceed. The Apple online process will not allow me two phones in checkout at once and asks about which text plan I want (only germane to individual lines) so it did not look right. On top of that, I stopped by AT&T store today to see if I could purchase two iPhones on Friday but was told they would limit the purchase to one per person (which I suspected thus the question). So we have to shop together, not an option on Friday, and then still not clear which shopping option will be easier or have phones on Saturday.

I took one last stab at Apple and chatted with a rep who told me that text plan selection online would not alter my current plan. Based on that, unseen rep with no accountability, I placed two separate orders for two phones from Apple. I figure I will get the instant gratification and may have to duke it out with AT&T on the Family Plan after the fact. Fun, fun, fun! Good luck to all!

Across the pond in the UK, we were told our existing 3g’s would get 3.0 on the 17th June. I have duly synced mine at 1.35am UK time to be told by iTunes that my software 2.2.1 is up to date. Come on fella’s – put your Miller or or Bud lites down and upgrade me. I need cut and paste now !!!

Oh wow, since the last time they released I was working for Apple I had heard of no issues when adding family lines. From what you guys are saying (above and below), this is going to be a pain.

My whole plan is to swing my mother off of Verizon Wireless, have her buy the 3Gs, make our plans a family plan, then me and her switch phones landing me a 3Gs on my line. I really hope that goes over okay!

Yeah, they really don’t have their act together! My partner and I are both new customers but trying to pre-order AND get on a family plan has been a real cluster****. After being told by AT&T corp, Apple corp and our local Apple store that we *could not* pre-order, another woman at the local AT&T store and someone else at the Apple store said, “Of course your can!”

Whatever. We pre-ordered two phones to pick up from the store and we’ll just show up and hope for the best.

Not entirely true. My two years on my original iPhone isn’t until Feb 2010, but they authorized me for upgrade pricing.

I still had about 10 months left on my 2-year commitment from my 2G refurb purchase, yet I was eligible for the subsidized price. Perhaps the fact that I’ll be paying an additional $15 per month for 3G service and 200 texts was the reason.
