If you pre-ordered your S3 over the phone directly from AT&T via 611 or 1-800, you must accept the terms and conditions (contract) via email digitally.
They didn't require this before, but now if you don't accept it, they will not even process the order and they will cancel it!
I pre-ordered last week and my order status never pulled up the S3 order. I called today and it turns out the rep forgot to send me the terms and conditions email to accept it digitally. Now my order has been processed with an official order number.
I just wanted to warn anyone in case they never got an order number and has been wondering wth is going on lol.
Good info, thanks for sharing
does this apply if you preordered from Amazon..i preordered mine via Amazon and havent received any email from ATT.
Edit: Nvd just saw u said if ordered over the phone.
I don't remember signing anything at the store and I see my order with an order number online.

Will we be required to sign for the Nexus 4 when it arrives or will they leave it on the porch? Unfortunately my UPS facility only allows will call between 4:30 and 6:30pm and I won't be home during the delivery window. Anyone know? Thanks.

You can sign up for a service with UPS (I think it's called MyUPS.com or something similar). Once you're signed up, you can override the signature requirement. I've used it and had no problems. I think you can also specify a delivery location ("back porch," etc.). Keep in mind that if you live somewhere packages left by delivery folks may be stolen, this is not a good idea. YMMV.

I had to sign for mine today so I'm going to say yes you probably will have too as well

I just signed up, but it says u have to pay for the feature...unless I'm reading it wrong
It all depends on the ups guy I didn't sign for my nexus 7
For what it's worth, I called Play Store support earlier and inquired if the Nexus 4 delivery is signature required, and the rep told me that it's not. Also, I just got off the phone with UPS support (as my delivery is in transit and fully tracking) and their rep confirmed for me that my delivery is not signature required. YMMV.
Edit for clarity: Package contains one Nexus 4 16GB model and nothing else.
I didn't have to pay anything. Maybe the fee is for other services they offer?

Unfortunatelly I have to say that my Nexus 4 package has been left in front of my door and fortunatelly the package was there when I camme back from work.
So, no signature is required. This happened to my today.

Where did you buy the device from? If it was from Google, you're fine. Just call them and they can look up your order based on your account. If it was from anywhere else, you'll need to follow-up with them.
Even if you lose the receipt go to checkout.Google.com. login with your Google account. There you will see a list of all your purchases you made with Google. Click on one of em to view a receipt. It keeps a record of every purchase.

Hi,
I placed an order for Nexus 7 2013 LTE to a valid address in US and Order got cancelled..
The story so far:
1. I tried ordering from normal playstore and i am redirected to Indian Playstore (pretty logical from Google since i live in Bangalore, India).
2. I spoofed my IP by going over VPN (Hotspot, Ultrasurf) Google got me there again saying It is not available for my country !!!.
It tracks my activity rather than IP address.
Created a new account and still get the same treatment (not sure how Google got me there. could be that Hotspot, Ultrasurf are blacklisted or something).
3. Went to my office VPN and tried placing order with a new account ( Google could not catch me here and i got proceeded to order)
4. Order Placed, money deducted from my credit card, got order conformation from Google. (yay ! -----> happiness short-lived bitterly)
5. 2 minutes later my order gets cancelled saying my name on credit card and recipient name does not match (!) and bank address does not match recipient address ( I mean cmon, i am ordering for my aunt staying in US. Google what you should be concerned is getting the money of course and not the person who is ordering it. I did not want my aunt to be burdened with the process of placing an order an all. Just wanted her to receive.)
6. Looked into BestBuy as new stock of LTE have arrived. Says carrier is AT&T ( Dont want AT&T since i stay in India).
7. Amazon has some seller selling at 500+ dollar ( Dont want to buy from him at that price of course)
8. Ebay is overpriced at the moment (both India and US (got paypal account for that))
So now I do not know what is the next possible step i need to take.
Can someone suggest me some way i could get this ?
If anyone has gone through the same, can you help me out if you have found a way to buy the same.
Link for Bestbuy: Nexus 7 2013 32GB LTE Unlocked - AT&T Sim
Update 1 (8/10/2013 - 10:27 AM): Checked with Bestbuy and they said that it is the unlocked version with AT&T sim. So i went ahead with best buy and ordered the product. I will discarding the sim once i get it to india.
BestBuy also throws in some free goodies like 6 months of Antivirus and 6 months unlimited Cloud Storage.
It has also given this model for a cheaper final price than Google Play Store. I got charged with lesser tax than what is normally charged by Google.
Update 2 (08/10/2013 - 10:30 PM): : My order status has changed from Order Received --> Payment Validated --> Preparing Order.
Order Status:: 1 item(s) - Order in process of being fulfilled; Usually ships in 3 - 5 days. :fingers-crossed: to get it early.
Update 3 (08/10/2013 - 11:55 PM): Order Status:: 1 item(s) shipped via STANDARD on 10/08/13 via
Tracking Number: UPS xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Update 4 (14/10/2013 - 5:15 PM): Shipment reached destination As mentioned as 5 days.

I have seen that thread. It mentions about the wifi versions and not the LTE one. checked the adorama and it looks good but there is not much information or pictures of the same. so i am a bit skeptical to proceed. BH photo does not have LTE.
I am looking for 2013 version. 2012 3G is available on flipkart but dont want that.
Method will work on any model as u just wants to buy from play store ,Do one thing mail to that particular website or have chat with them & ask them when they will be in stock , & they will list it on there websites. Did you tried office max ? Or ask borderlines to order they will buy for u but some bucks you will needed to pay them ...

Interesting. I found the LTE on the Best Buy website but not in stores. Almost all of the retail stores in the US do not stock the LTE. There may be some exceptions in a few well known stores like Fry's (unsure if stocking LTE) or some NYC retailers (B&H, etc).
For most US city locations the LTE model is simply not (yet) stocked in stores. In my opinion, depending on where you go in the US, the Best Buy option to ship to store in 3-5 days is best. Also, if you have some Best Buy coupons, etc, you might save some money.
Thanks for the info about Best Buy, I did not know until you mentioned it. Good luck.
It does not matter about AT&T or T-Mobile or neither because Google only tosses SIM card activation kit in the box. No other difference in the US.

how is it better than sending directly to a home address?
So by your second point i can go ahead and order the same and i throw away the at&t/tmobile sim-kit is it? if i remove the sim, then it is the same as normal unlocked with support for any 3G/4G capable sim ?
Bob.. thanks to you i have got some hope :fingers-crossed:

No big difference ordering for in store pickup or home delivery. The SIM brand makes no difference. Any micro SIM will work if the LTE bands are supported. You might research which bands exist in your area and which bands are supported by the device.
I've seen a thread discussing setting the LTE bands using "secret dialing codes". This would likely void your US warranty. I'm not sure if it could work.
I just noticed today - Best Buy in North Carolina now shows some stores with "in stock - in store" on LTE Nexus 7. I might stop to see if they have the ones with SIM card or not.
Good luck.
Update 3: Order Status:: 1 item(s) shipped via STANDARD on 10/08/13 via

I have been trying for about a week now to get the 6P but the play store wont allow different credit card addresses / different billing address, so I can't get it from there, Huwawei's website has a really long wait time :/, ebay/amazon is super overpriced, is there any other website that does not use the verification that google uses and the price isnt inflated through the roof? I really need a new phone and the Nexus 6P is the best thing ive seen in a while!
Help would be much much appreciated.
Yeah try locally.
Yeah, we don't get nexus devices here and haven't for years, it's terrible . Anything else maybe =/ ?

I had no choice but buy from eBay and pay some import taxes. A little bit too expensive, but totally worth it. Greetings from Mexico.
You can try UsGoBuy.com forwarding service. They will give you a valid US address in Oregon, which is a sales tax free state.
Then use that address as a billing address in your Google wallet. You can add any international credit card there as long as you have a valid US address.
Use a VPN service from US and use incognito tab in chrome, so that Google thinks that you are really inside of the US. Order you phone, and wait until the forwarder sends it to you.
If it doesn't work, try setting up a new Google account and make sure that you use vpn and incognito tab.
I personally completed all the above steps successfully, and now I am waiting to get the amount to actually buy the device.

Honestly, it was too much work or maybe I'm just too lazy, it was cumbersome. It came out at around 597 $ (64 GB Aluminum) because of tax, and it would not accept my payment, I went on ebay and found a good seller who is selling it unopened and brand new at 620$, I didn't mind the extra 23 $, and finished the order in a few seconds, seriously, I hope Google gets it **** together with this payment thing, here's the link for anyone interested :

If you get high risk its because your account it new. Contact the Google Store support, tell them you got the error and they can release you from the high risk tag.
I have no idea what they ask for, but I some some people did it and it worked.

Also keep in mind that ordering from the US will get you the H1511 model which has bands targeted for North American carriers. Before the 6P was available locally in my country I was also thinking the same thing but found out that the H1511 model doesn't have the LTE bands my carrier uses. You can't buy the international H1512 model from the US Google Play Store and Huawei store unfortunately.
