Carrier iPhone 7/7+ T-Mobile Pre-Order Thread

Still chatting with them on Twitter, they are saying you can't apply trade-in to EIP balance so that your net cost is $0.

If in worst cast you are able to apply trade-in to EIP balance, it will reduce net EIP balance. Since your monthly payment on EIP plan is always fixed $27.09 this will reduce number of months in which you will repay the loan.

Example.

iPhone 7-32gb EIP TOTAL = $649.99
Monthly = $27.09
Trade-in value for iPhone 6 = $165

If trade-in apply to EIP balance net balance left = $485
Now new number of months since EIP payment is fixed = $27.09

New number of months= $485/27.09 = 17.90 months

Tmobile credit which they apply to monthly EIP = $20.21 (because they already give you tradein of $165)
Rest you have to pay every month= $6.88

So you will pay $6.88 x 17.90 months = $123.15 more to TMO.

This is BS, clear case of cheating. Tell me if I'm wrong..

This is what sales rep told me when I order over the phone. Basically $165 is a credit that will go towards your T-Mobile bill. You can used that credit to pay for the service or for your monthly installments.
Once T-Mobile has received your old phone they will credit you $485 towards installments to the iPhone 7.
So $165 + $485 = $650

Just going to try get one at the local store on Friday. Not going to cancel this order yet.

I want my 7 plus jet black now!

Pretty sure Christmas will be here faster than my iPhone.

 

[nwfrog]

And I'm just down in Portland, so I bet we will get it the same day.

I am in Lake Oswego ordered 128gb black 7 plus at 12:13am expected delivery date is 9/23. Hope it gets here sooner.

 

[Cyberguycpt]

So does anyone with a Plus model have shipping saying the 15 or 16 or are we all the 19th and up? I don't mind waiting but come on so this means know one will get a preordered Plus model on launch. Where's the inventory. Every year the Plus runs out and the regular one has a surplus. Don't you think they would make more Plus models. I was on the line with a rep 4 minutes after the lines opened. But ofcourse JOD was tripping so I ended up going with Jump 2.0 and got it in at 2:00 A.M Pacific time. OK I'm done ranting for today. Lol.

The math is correct. However, I believe you can apply the lump EIP to any phone you have on your account that still has an EIP. If you only have the one phone, then you can get a statement credit instead of EIP payment which gives you the full benefit. I personally would rather take the $165 all up front since it only amounts to less than $7 per month. If this is like a previous experience I had, they will issue you a statement credit regardless and if you want to apply the credit to an EIP, you have to call them so they can create an additional EIP charge on your next bill that will offset the credit.

So just out of curiosity what comes after being processed on the order status??

Should go straight to shipped with a tracking #

 

[Detailmylifeaway]

iPhone 7 plus 128gb black ordered a couple mins after it opened. Ship dates of 9/19-9/26. The rep said I'd have it on the 16th. I was her first order. My 7+ black & blue silicone cases will be here tom. Guess I'll just order more cases & screen protectors in the mean time. Gotta get a spigen & find a nice carbon fiber case too. I like to switch it up

 

[wickedlotus]

Just caught John Legere on Periscope. He says that they will work on getting the shipping dates as fast as possible & that this has been the largest launch for T-Mobile. And the Matte Black is the most popular pre-order.

 

[modernaccord]

I've given up on a launch day delivery of my 7+ matte black 128. My shipping is still 9/27-10/10, so I'm just hoping I'll have it by Octobers end at this point.

Already got my screen protector waiting on otterbox case now, should be here before the phone

He cracks me up. But yeah, stuff we already knew.

One of my phones has SHIPPED! iPhone 7/32 GB/Black. UPS Next Day Air meaning if UPS doesn't know it is an iPhone and holds it, it will arrive tomorrow or Wednesday! Woohoo!

You should see if your CC is charged. That is usually the first indication that your order is about to change to shipped status.

So how does work if you want to apply to EIP?

they gave me this tool to run which breakdown payments. Tool doesn't work for me. Can you check.

YESSSS! I have a UPS tracking number!


You know what's weird though? I only found that information by going through the EIP email and checking my status. No confirmation email. No texts.

It's funny.

I'm confused

You're telling me the phone is not free? We have to pay?

The Tool only tells you how much you are going to get. It varies by iPhone model. Once you know the amount, that is what you will get on your next bill as a statement credit, assuming Tmobile gives your trade in a clean bill of health after receiving. Once you have the credit, you call them and tell them "I want $xxx dollars added to my next bill to pay down my EIP". You will then see that amount added to your regular charges so your credit will cover that fee, but you still pay your normal monthly bill.

[20160267ak]

I have the same ship dates. I hope we both get ours earlier. I'm hoping for a launch date phone. But I'm kinda doubting it, too.

Yah same I preorder mine at 3:20 am on friday but as they were trying to process the trade the system go stuck. Then after staying on hold for 2hrs the call failed. I was like F*** this and order again 7am. I got the same shipping date for my iphone 7 plus 32gb black 9/27 - 10/11

 

[Steve.P.JobsFan]

9/19-9/26 people:

Have you seen any of your phone shipped? One of my orders was cancelled without my knowledge and I have to re-place it. T-Mobile.com says shipping range of 9/19 to 9/26.
