Hey Everyone!



Welcome back to my annual iPhone Reservation thread!  Once again its the time of the year that Apple will be announcing their new iPhone line up in a few hrs!. Once Rogers has announce when they will add the Apple iPhoneXs / Xr and Xs Max to the reservation list & the day comes follow the steps below to reserve the new device! The devices will include 3 devices, new color options and bigger displays! 

 

 

How to reserve if you’re an existing customer:

  1. Log in to My Account on Rogers.com

  2. Under Account choose Wireless.

  3. Go to Manage My Device at the bottom of the page.

  4. Click Upgrade My Device.

  5. Choose The new iPhone ( which ever model you want) as a “ Pre order

  6. Pick either Ship To Home or Ship To store (Device Reservation)

  7. Choose a phone from the Phone Model drop-down.

  1. Only phones that can be reserved will appear.



7. Review the account information next to your selection.

  1. The email address must be auto-populated in the right section of the reservation form. Otherwise, you can’t reserve a device.

  2. If the email is not auto-populated, first add the email address in the appropriate field of your My Account profile. Then, log out and log back in.

8. Select a store to pick up your phone.

9. Review the reservation details and click I AGREE to accept the Terms and Conditions.

How to reserve if you’re a new customer

Online Statuses

Open - Phone has been reserved

In Progress - Phone is in inventory and the order is being processed

Shipped - Phone is on its way to the chosen store

Cancelled - Reservation has been cancelled



Keeping you up posted along the way

  1. You’ll receive the following confirmations:

  2. An email after completing the reservation

  3. Weekly status emails confirming you number in line on the waiting list

  4. An email when the device has been shipped to the store. (Includes a delivery tracking number)

  5. Phone call from a store representative when the device is ready for pick-up



Good things to know

  1. Phone can only be reserved, not purchased ( The purchase of the device will be done in store)

  2. You can change the pick-up location when the online order status is open. If the order status is in progress or shipped, the location cannot be changed

  3. Shipments typically take up 4 days, and your device is held in store for 3 days ( The delivery can be next day in most cases)

  4. If you don’t pick up your phone within 3 days, the reservation will be cancelled and be sold to a walk in customer. You can make alternate arrangements with the store manager if need be.

  5. Only the account holder or an authorized level 1 user (someone authorized to make changes on the account) can pick up the phone. Photo ID is required when picking up the phone.

  6. If a reservation was made to a location that is now closed, We’ll send the device to the closest Rogers store or authorized dealer in the area. The new store will contact you when the device arrives and is ready for pick up.



Reservation Fee

What about this $40 reservation fee? Will it be returned to me?” You betcha. You’ll get a credit of $40 (+ taxes) for the reservation fee on your account if you reserved as an existing customer or to the original credit card if you reserved to activate a new line. Your reservation fee will be credited when:

  1. Your phone ships from our warehouse or

  2. You cancel your reservation online.

Before you go to the store to pick up your new phone, why not get a quote for your old phone and trade it in for a credit!



Please keep in mind that if you pick a Rogers Authorized dealership, you may not be able to get the device soon after it ships. This has been the main issue with all the iPhone reservations & most of the other devices which have been on the reservation system. I would suggest you pick a Local Rogers store (Corporate Rogers store or Rogers Plus) to go to get it. When the Rogers warehouse sends it out, the Rogers stores will get them first. Some of the Rogers Authorized dealers have their own warehouse in which the devices will go to. After that there is no tracking until the device ships from that warehouse & goes to the store & they call you. You can also look for your FlexTab aka upgrade fee online via My Rogers or contact Rogers & they will let you know.

.For Corporate / Business customers. You guys will have a different line then regular customers do. This means you guys have a few different statutes then regular customers do. Also keep in mind for the past few years there has been issues / confuses about business customers getting the phones via the reservation. You guys will be getting them the day of launch or after depending on your status & what goes on.



They also started last year a pre ordering system done online being charged on your CC ( Credit card) imminently and having the device shipped to your home instead. 2 years ago with the iPhone 7 / 7 Plus and last year with the 8 &8+ with the X the ones that picked this way got it the day of launch or day after launch but only a few did. Not everyone. This way is a good way but sadly u do not see any status updates like u do with the reservation system and only get a confirmation email and a shipment email. ( some did not get any email until the unit got shipped with QMS or UPS). Please do remember. Using the SHIP TO HOME option does NOT give u any insight of updates or status. You will only get notified when it ships out.

 

now its alot to read at the moment but i am trying to cover all the bases for everyone so everyone knows how the reservation works and what they need to know! as always do not be afraid to ask any question you have as I or any other member will answer it for you. I will do my best and answer all questions Cat Happy

Hello @JeromeM

Yes you will be able to get it on 1-3 months. Usually some carriers give some small stuff out but most don't do it.. Last year Telus offered the Apple Airpods for free with pre orders.. This year no one has said anything for that.

Samsung it's different as Samsung provides their own produces for free for pre orders.

SwiftKey has been on iPhone for almost 3 years now... Lol

So if I do that, does the current plan I have now stay the same?  Or will I have to one of the new more expensive plans?I'm in NS and my plan is $90 for 3 gb and canada wide calling premium tab.

I'm on a corporate account so will be reserving via https://secure.rogersdirect.ca/. Do you guys know if the iPhone will be billed to the next monthly bill? Or does the site require a credit card which will be charged when the iPhone is shipped?

Hello @novy89

You will be laying alot more for the devices on a premium tab plan then a +plan or ultra plan.

To get the phone on a cheaper price, go with either the Premium + or Tye Ultra plans. However that means you will be paying way more for the plan for less Gb.

Hello @rageguy

I do believe you have the option to bill it to your invoice as well. I would just have the money on the CC just incase they want the money upfront.

I am expecting anywhere from $799 to $859 for the iphone XS 64gb on a premium tab.

Am I in the right ballpark?

Rogers CSR told me 859 for Xs 64GB on Premium. I’m ready for two!

Hello @Viande

Yikes. That's way to much for a 64GB. At that point the 256GB is $1,000 and the 512GB is $1,200 on that plan.. Hmm

Wow finally back on this forum! Last time I was here was to get my iPhone 7Plus and I remember going through so much trouble with pre-order as my reservation was not moving. 

 

Regarding reservation I have a question because I don't remember the difference. I will be reserving through the Rogers system since my 2 years term is up and I will be renewing, however can I still get a phone directly from the Apple Store at the same price than Rogers and renew my 2 years plan there?

(Just in case Rogers system is a mess and flooded, I might tempt my chance directly with Apple) 

 

And meowmix good to see you are still around I remember you from 2 years ago with your amazing username lol.

Hello @xfallen

Welcome back! Haha yes I'm never gonna leave unless the kick me out lol

Yes you can! The Apple store will have Dedicated carrier reps so they can do the upgrade for you in the Apple store!

Another question, 

If I choose the "ship to home" option, can I pick the address?  I usually like to get packages shipped to where I work since I'm gone from home all day.  Is that an option or will they only send it to the address on my account?

Hello @novy89

It should let you change the address. However it may not since it will ship to you home address listed.

You will see the option tomorrow morning

Re: Apple iPhone Xs / Xr & Xs Max Questions / Reservation numbers!

novy89

It would just be nice to know beforehand because if it isn't an option then I will have to get it shipped to the Rogers store instead, and that's one more thing to worry about trying to go backwards on the upgrade page to select ship to store if in fact I can't change the address when I'm trying to get my order in as fast as I can lol

Hello @novy89

From what I know, it should allow you to change it. I was able to for 2yrs ago.

Hey everyone!!!

I just saw that the Iphone XS, 64GB with Rogers is $439??? WITH a 2 year plan.

Am I seeing things or...
I saw in older posts someone said $800+???

Re: Apple iPhone Xs / Xr & Xs Max Questions / Reservation numbers!

Hello @SabrinaMolella

"64GB - $429.99 
256GB - $629.99
512GB - $ 889.99

iPhone XS Max
64GB - $ 559.00
256GB - $759.99
512GB- $1,019.00


Now AS you can see those are with the NEW Ultra plans. For Premium + it will be more. However i can not see it atm. I would say at most $100-$200 more for the + plans. "

That is what i posted. If you are NOT on a Ultra Plan ( that is their new plans which reduces the upfront cost of the device) and have a Premium or Premium + plan then the cost of the device will go up by $200

This can change between regions as well I( Manitoba / Quebec )

 

So if you have the Premium plan ( not +
) then you are looking to pay almost $829.98 for the device up front. If you have a + plan then you pay $629.99
