It may just be 0200 in the morning here in Utah, but we have already had a painstakingly difficult, gut-wrenching, brain-numbing experience trying to purchase Verizon iPhones for customer and yes, even ourselves. Sadly, one hour later not one phone was successfully ordered. Not saying we didn’t get close, but as soon as the order was ready to process, it failed.
Now the whole process is not the websites fault, as we spent a fair amount of time trying to understand why some of the lines that should have been eligible for upgrades now mysteriously weren’t. That part, for all we can figure, had more to do with our specific business rep than Verizon itself.
Verizon promised the world that their launch would go on without a hitch, well Verizon we have bad news. With this big of an issue with just the pre-orders we are beginning to think to ourselves…is this just the launch that is going to have problems, or could Verizon be greatly overestimating their networks capabilities as well? Perhaps only time will tell, but as for now, we will let Verizon explain to our customers why they won’t be getting iPhones anytime soon.
