I'm confused

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

Honestly, in my opinion - IT IS NOT completely free because you have to trade in your iPhone 6 for $165 credit towards your EIP and that makes it look like it is free.

But to get the latest iPhone 7 for $165 plus 2 years with tmobile isnt that bad.

Correct me if i miss something. I am going crazy thinking if it is worth trading in your paid iPhone 6.

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.

might be on the manufacturing end. i remember with the 6+ there was low supply because they couldn't make them fast enough. true or not that was there "reason". if its happened again then we might be in for a wait :(
 
I had an order get stuck and TMO called me. Even though I was a 3am order, my 7+ JB 128 is now scheduled as alate as Nov 30th
[doublepost=1473728744][/doublepost]My wife's Gold 7 will be here on launch though. May have to use hers till Nov seeing as she could care less about upgrading but I did it for her anyway.

I did it in Miami, guy at the corporate store told me there had only been 5 people before me for the Plus and assured me I would get by Friday.

So today, I went in and decided to get my wife an upgrade and she also has the same delivery time 11/1-11/30 as me when I reserved on launch day.

Why go through the hassle and get your hopes up if at the end you wont have it at least within the first week...

PS: I also asked the corporate guy if I should do the reservation online to assure I would get it Friday and he assured me it was better in store and in person. LOL.

You're trading an old phone for a new one

I'm trading my 6S in strictly because it's free

My phone is paid off and if it's a free upgrade why not? My phone is gonna be worth 50% less or more than what I paid a year ago come this Friday
 
UPDATE: "Preparing for Shipment"

iPhone 7, Black 128gb
T-Mobile, ordered online 9/10 @ 9am PST
SoCal

Funny, I logged into my UPS My Choice to check the status of a shipment notification from Amazon, and there it was! On my Delivery Planner..
9/12/16 5:39pm - Order processed: Ready for UPS

EDIT: I highly recommend you get the app, an account is free as well. It will be the first to give you ANY notification.. straight from the source!

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.

I understand that part. I know I will be getting $165 for my tradein. My iPhone 6 is brand new which I'm trading in. So if I called in to apply $165 to my EIP balance. It will reduce number of months remaining on my EIP. Correct.

Do I still need to pay $6.88 as credit from tmobile is $20.21 towards your bill.

Which fee you are talking about? You will then see that amount added to your regular charges so your credit will cover that fee,
 
I see a lot of people posting their accessories, am i the only one who gets Zagg glass screens?
