FYI, in case anybody wants to know, I didn't know it but you can also get Premium Handset Protection (PHP) where your device is protected against any accidental damage, malfunction, loss, or theft.
PHP insurance can only be added either upon purchase or within 14 days from the date you have received the device.
PHP cost $10 a month.
Thanks but I don't see tmobile
Yup. Phones are less after buying out on JOD than buying the phone outright.Are you adding up the down-payment, lease, and end of lease buy out?
Sweet! Which phone?BREAKING: My credit card is being charged
iPhone 7 128GB - BlackSweet! Which phone?
Same here, I thought they weren't supposed to be charged until phones were shipped.BREAKING: My credit card is being charged
That's exactly what was explained to me as well. I think people are thinking they just pay (iPhone plus) $120, 220 or 320 and that's it. Thankfully a native English speaking customer service rep explained it to me as well.I just found out after initiating chat with TMo (through the app) that the rep from last night did not set me up for EIP, which is required to get the full $649 credit amount for the trade in promo. My order had to be cancelled and re-submitted. Ugh! Good thing is shipping time for iPhone 7 256gb black is still shipping the 15th/16th. Since I got someone who speaks English as a first language this time, it went much more smoothly. I also got some better detail about the trade-in promo... hope you guys find it useful.
Here is how the iPhone 6/6S trade-in promo for the iPhone 7/7Plus works:
- The promo credit requires EIP and you cannot pay full retail and only receive statement credits, which I would have preferred.
- There are two components to the credit for trade in promo: (a) value of phone; and (b) the amount to make the full credit $649.99, which is a plug. For me, phone value assigned is $165, so the plug is $484.99
- The value of your iPhone trade in is given as a full credit when your trade in is processed. For me, the iPhone 6 64gb had a value of $165 which will be given as a lump sum.
- Immediate payment when iPhone is shipped: Obviously, you pay the cost of whichever iPhone you choose that is over $649.99 plus tax, plus sales tax if applicable. Also, a $20 "upgrade fee" if you do this on the phone like I did. For me, I paid $219.99 ($200 premium for the 256gb 7, plus $20; no sales tax for shipping to Oregon).
- $649.99 is charged to your TMobile bill over 24 monthly installments (approx $27.08/month).
- The amount in 1(b) above is provided as a credit amortized over 24 months (approx $20.20).
- Your net credits over the entire 24 months is $649.99 (1a plus 1b above), which cancels out the $649.99 charged to you in 5 above.
- Installments are financed in-house by TMobile, and do not go through a bank like the Apple upgrade plan.
That's awesome bro congrats. When did you order? and where are you located?BREAKING: My credit card is being charged
So after my JOD fiasco (see my earlier post), I had ordered an iPhone 7 128 Jet Black (glossy black), finally got a ship date of sometime in November, last night I decided to try what you did. After looking at the estimated ship times I went with the:T-mobile cancelled my EIP even though i signed it. I realized Jett Black was different then black. they cancelled it with no issues and created a new order.
I place my order over the phone yesterday morning around 11:00AM PST. Got my copy of the signed EIP agreement email at 11:22AM PST. I'm located just outside of Sacramento, CAThat's awesome bro congrats. When did you order? and where are you located?
I'm on Jump! On Demand, which makes the phone about $60 cheaper than retail, I believe, but even then there shouldn't be a $300 gap between our two.
What was your estimated shipping date ?I was charged yay coming soon I hope
9-15 9-16 I ordered a black 128 gb regular size about 1 min after phones lines opened.What was your estimated shipping date ?
I just talked it over with T-Mobile. My downpayment + 18 monthly payments ($504 total) + $216 buyout at the end adds up to the retail price of $869.99. Plus 8% tax = $939.59. I guess my initial math was off. hahaI think mine is with tax and everything
Damn i did the same but got the Plus size and i was on the phone with them 3:03 ET and got 9/27-10 shipping date9-15 9-16 I ordered a black 128 gb regular size about 1 min after phones lines opened.
Well let's hope it gets bumped up at least it's not oct or nov, I feel sorry for the jet black customers for having to wait so long.Damn i did the same but got the Plus size and i was on the phone with them 3:03 ET and got 9/27-10 shipping date
