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..

You're right, but I'm fairly sure the months remain the same (24) so you do end up paying $0 per month.

Is there a way to do that if you preordered from the T-Mobile store instead of Apple? For some reason mine won't work /:

Yes, it works no matter where you ordered from because it will be shipped by UPS. If it doesn't find a package for you, then it hasn't been shipped yet (or a label hasn't been created yet).

You can also try to use your T-Mobile account number as the reference number.

This guy didn't answer my question about where he ordered from. From my experience... Apple.com orders will let you track by reference with your phone number... but I don't think T-Mobile orders let you do that.

Doesn't pull anything up :/

Mine hasn't shipped either. I figure it will be a while.

The last couple of iPhone pre-orders with T-Mobile, I've been able to track by reference using my phone number.

Right now... I went to UPS, Track by Reference, I changed the date range to the last year... searched my number... and nothing came up... not even the Galaxy S7 I ordered a few months ago, not the iPhone 6S I ordered last year around this time.... nothing.

Interesting...the 6S Plus I ordered last year showed up....

Nothing for the 7 of course...I was hoping my card would be charged today but it's looking more and more like I'll really be in that 9/19 range

Same thing for me, nothing popped up when entering phone number. Ran a query from 8/15/15 of last year to 11/30/16 this year. Only thing showing up in MyChoice is an Amazon package.

Anyone see any plus models ship out with tracking or CC get charged?
Nothing so far, i checked through the other threads as well from carriers and they are all in the same boat like us. Only ones that have gotten shipping notifications on pluses are the ones who ordered from apple directly.

Can someone explain how to track shipments VIA UPS reference with TMOBILE PRE ORDERS? PLEASE? CLEARLY.
Go to UPS.com. On the blue tabs towards the top of the page, there is an option that shows "tracking". Click on that, and it will bring a new page, to the left of the page it will show some options such as "track by number". The option below that is "track by reference". Click on that, fill in the fields, and under where it says "Shipment Reference:" put in your t mobile phone number
(no dashes) and click track. If it doesn't find it, a label has not been created yet for your package. Don't know if it's 100% accurate but it's worked in the past for me.

Lol you guys need to chill. Your cards won't charge, nor will the T-Mobile system show any progress till they are ready to ship (last year I got charged about 36 hours before receiving my phone).

Once you're charged, the phone will prepare for shipment and be shipped within hours.

So take a chill pill and wait a couple more days. It's just a phone...

Anyone get the iPhone 7 32GB through JOD and not get charged a single cent? Thought it was weird I didn't even get charged the usual sales tax off the retail price. My "charged" email says I got charged a whopping $0.00. Not complaining, just curious.

JoD is no upfront costs. The tax is seen in your monthly bill, so instead of $27/mo you might pay $29/mo.

I talked to T-Mobile and if you used JOD and stayed at 32 gb you didn't get charged taxes

You don't pay sales tax upfront like an EIP for JOD. So no charge until your next bill, at which point it will tax your payment.
