So if we plan on upgrading next year, this plan is not very cost effective? We are either better off buying the phone outright (selling our previous one) or going the Apple Upgrade route?
Got a tip for us?

Same boat..... Let's hope Tmobile is better prepared this year to handle the pre orders
It should be if your jumping from the same size phone there should be no down payment. Don't make sense if switching fro a 128gb to a 128gb you gotta give a down payment but if you go from a 32 to 128 your paying same. Should be some tired trade in. Looks like just going to go down to the 32 for no DP.
/throws dice
At this point, who the hell knows? I've heard and seen a variety of possibilities. I'm gonna call at midnight 'ish eastern and try to get someone to commit to something, then I'm gonna call again at 3ish and see what happens then. If all else fails I'm going to get professionally drunk and pretend my 6s is really a 7 and forget the whole mess until next release.
Should not be a problem. I preordered with JOD with the the Note 7 in store and went smooth and received it like a day before they hit the stores. Where you will run into issues is when you try and turn in your phone. Some stores try and give you problems.
The games continue!! Another phone rep just told me that they would give me credit for my current phone and it has to be enough to cover what I owe to be able to upgrade.... Yet for Jump On Demand they say you can upgrade whenever you want regardless of how much is paid off.....
On jump when you have paid off half or more on your iPhone you can trade it in and T-Mobile pays the other half.
On jod you are able to upgrade 3 times in a year and 6 times in 18 months.

That's what I thought, I have jod and I have not done any upgrades since I got the phone... This guy told me that doesn't matter and they give you a credit based on device value and if it's not enough you still gotta pay
The only thing I can think of is if the rep was talking about a basic phone trade in instead of a jod upgrade.
And honestly I have no problems with the iphone itself. My biggest issue is with preorders, I mean every year it's that same thing. And then people are like well it's an iPhone what do you expect. Well I expect that person that probably make 8 figures to do a proper forecast. If I'm required to accurately forecast for my job and almost always am within 5 % of my target they should be able to as well. I just hate that Apple likes to overinflate the demand by restricting supply.
I called T-Mobile to ask about details for the iPhone 7. She told me that I can order online and save the $20 upgrade fee, or, she can give a call back so I can order over the phone at 3:30 am ET but there will be a $20 upgrade fee. I will wait for the call. Don't mind the $20. But will be trying the web. If I manage to upgrade using mytmobile site then I will place the order. If I can not manage because the site may have some problems then I have a "backup plan".
$20 fee far as i know for now its for the over the phone upgrade. new t-mobile scheme i guess
My thoughts too, but I need to pay off the JoD 6s device too...
Or am I able to "upgrade" online and then pay it off separately?
E.G. should I call now to pay it off, and then complete the order online?
What's the cheapest route to new iPhone 7+? Currently a year in on my 6s+ 128gb on JOD. Which route should I go to upgrade? Either to the 7+32 or the 128gb version I liked last year when they seemed to have cheaper monthly and no down payment
you can upgrade with remaining balance on your phone 6s just dont send it back if you wish to keep devie then you will be paying for both devices monthly or once you receive your iphone 7 it will come with a prepaid label for you to send back the previous device and you will be credited for it. correct me if im wrong anyone?
