AT&T Announces iPhone 4 Pre-Order Info



At this point, everyone already knows about the new iPhone's June 15th pre-order date and June 24th launch of the 4th generation iPhone. But this weekend, we have new information about AT&T's efforts to help customers "get iPhone 4 as quickly and efficiently as possible." According to AT&T, anyone who plans to pre-order their fourth-generation iPhone can do so at any AT&T retail store nationwide or online beginning June 15th. This year, AT&T is trying something new, they are offering customers the option to ship pre-orders directly to their home or business for delivery as soon as launch day. To top it all off, they will help keep tabs on the arrival of your new gadget by not only sending out the obligatory email to confirm that the order has been placed, but also a second email to confirm that the iPhone 4 has been shipped. Credit cards won't be charged until the order is shipped and keep in mind that debit cards can't be used to pre-order.
As anyone who has ever purchased an iPhone from AT&T in the past knows, a customer sales representative wil assist in activating the device. This time around, customers who order their device through AT&T will just be packaged instructions with the shipment to follow. A kinder way of AT&T telling you to do it yourself. Of course, if you buy your iPhone 4 in an actual AT&T store, they will assist you in activating it before you go home. AT&T and they will also do the same for those exchanging for an iPhone 4.

As for those of you who have had some confusion on the Internet regarding how many devices you are allowed to pre-order, AT&T is setting the record straight. The stores will only "sell one iPhone 4 per person for new customers, and one device per household for new orders placed online" and similarly existing customers can purchase one per eligible telephone number online or through an AT&T store.
