My daughter works for AT&T, she said there were people waiting at the store since 0430 this morning for the new phones.

I found a loop hole on the unlimited plans if you have Verizon. If you have a secondary line that is on a tiered data plan or no data plan (or just add one for $9.99) you use the online "transfer upgrade" from your unlimited line to the non unlimited line, get the discounted phone, and upload your number when it arrives. I've been upgrading for years but still unlimited

I like streaming unnecessary videos just to run up the data

Hope this helps someone out!

I was able to get in on the AT&T unlimited plan after they had stopped it using a loop hole back in 2010. I've kept it ever since. They won't get me off unlimited until they force us to switch. I get to 9-10GB every month just from watching netflix on LTE. It streams well enough even when throttled after 5GB.

We've been on the unlimited plan with ATT since the first phone. Upgrade every couple of years with no problem. Just tell them your not changing plans just the phone.

Yup...I had AT&T when they were Cingular!

Got the first iPhone in 2007, unlimited data, added my wife's 3G in 2008, both got the 4's in 2010, sold them unlocked to pay for the 5's in 2012, sold the 5's unlocked to pay for the 6's last week.

loading mine now from back up.

Just the 6 and it is noticeably larger. Still fits in my pocket, but it is much bigger in my hand.

Good stuff so far!

I was really regretting not preordering the plus until the regular 6 came in. I just held a 6+ and it's way to big for my taste. I can barely got my short fingers around this one! Lol

Damn... not being a tech fan, or even giving much thought to it at all, I've paid little attention to the newer bigger better awesomer iPhone 6.

However, last Saturday, my wife and kids were with me. It was time to dump Vagizen (oh, the only thing that's unlimited with them is the reasons that I hate 'em), and go with Sprint's plan. Walked up to a mall kiosk, walked away with four new iPhone 6s, and two Galaxy S4s (I understand that the S4 is NOT the newest... but if you ask me if I care, expect a big fat "no" out of me...!).

No wait, no list, no nothing... dudes had a grip of them under the counter, just handed 'em out to my kids, I handed out a handsome sum of money, and we're done. The kids get to go to school and be the first kids with the 6s, and I get to try to figure out how to use my Galaxy (yeah... it's my first smartphone... the one I relinquished was carved out of wood, and was powered by a little coal generator... texting was little smoke signals, voice was only with the "tin- can- and-a- string" app...).

(Oh, and with Sprint, I got more phones, more data, unlimited text/ talk, and the monthly bill is STILL $100/ mo. less than the Big V was gigging me for)

In with this guy. Pre-ordered my 4s and it is still going...sort of...

Half the exterior buttons may not work anymore, but I can still text when it decides it wants to turn on

Mine was too...I got it when I was 5 - blk&wht display, physical buttons, and a battery that is most likely still half charged from years ago when I let it go.
