You have to still pay all the sales tax up front. Higher models are the difference in price from the base + sales tax from the normal price.

tmobile website confirms preordering at 12:01am PACIFIC time, not eastern as I have been informed by reps on the phone. Regardless I'm gonna start camping the phone and website at midnight my time just so I have a remote chance of getting all my lines upgraded on release day.
This is exactly what I was told as well.
I spoke to T-Force this morning and received very quick replies, matter of minutes.
I have 2 questions:
1. I'm not enrolled in the Jump on Demand program. That shouldn't be a problem trading in my old phone, right?
2. If I want to get the iPhone 8 next year, I can just pay off all the remaining balance for the 7 and trade it in again?

I'm going to to use the automatic call back but try to preorder on the website while I'll wait on the phone whichever is first lol
Oh yeah, I'm gonna be online and on phone at the same time starting at midnight my time. I may even call on more than one line, maybe even all six at the same time to play rep roulette.
I am switching from AT&T and all this JUMP stuff is new to me. Hell I'm still waiting on my T-Mobile SIM card. I have not been impressed with customer service. So many different answers to my questions. I am assuming it's because this promotion stuff is new.
I want to trade in my iPhone 6 Plus 128GB for the iPhone 7 Plus 128GB. I am being told it would cost me $220 plus tax and they spread it out for 24 months? Also was told if I want to upgrade next yeah I can get jump on demand for $10 monthly which includes insurance so I won't need to pay for Apple Care. Does this all sound correct??

I stood in a small line at my local t-mobile store last year and was able to walk out with FIVE lines worth of iPhone 6s'. It freaked out the staff and it took HOURS to organize and I didn't get all the colors I wanted. So I'd imagine if you arrive in line early enough you stand a good chance of getting an iPhone, just be especially early if you want a black (jet or otherwise) one because those look like they're going to be hot items this year.
If you're in a pretty good area where T-Mo stores are abundant then the chances are pretty good, but like everyone else said get there early.
Hey so I have a question in regards to the trade-in program
I got a 64 GB iPhone 6 from T-mobile two years ago at release and its fully paid off now.
Does it make sense for me to trade in the iPhone to T-Mobile, or wouldn't it be better for me to sell it else where for more money since it is unlocked?
Because the price is still $749 for the 128 GB iPhone 7 regardless right?
I don't see what benefit i'd get from trading it in to them, can someone help clarify this for me, thanks!

I'm currently with T-Mobile and no contract. My iPhone is fully paid off.
Can I choose the Verizon iPhone 7 with Apple Upgrade plan online and then use it on T-Mobile? Or will I need a Verizon account? - I heard conflicting reports on this. It seems that due to lack of ability to enroll in the Apple Upgrade plan when purchasing an iPhone 7 online, people are looking to buy other carrier's iPhones to use with T-Mobile.
Anybody know if this would work?

Well that clears up all the misinformation I've been given... argh.
I am now a VERY unhappy camper, my bill is going to explode if I go through with this. I'm currently paying $16.42 per 16gb 6s, $19.35 for a 64gb 6s and $24.64 for a 128gb 6s+. I don't know why my monthly installments are so low but it looks like they'll almost double if I jump. Ugh.

That's a good question.
The reps themselves sound confused and are confusing us too.
You are under the same deal we have which was a limited time offer. I was hoping they'd offer a similar deal this time, but so far no such luck. You may want to consider waiting until the week after launch. Last year they did a JoD for $8 for the 64g iPhone+! We called to see if they'd change our special $19 a month to the $8 a month, but they said that was a deal only for those who didn't order at launch. And it came and went in a hurry.

According to the Jump on Demand iPhone 7 fact sheet they just posted at TMobile, you must call or visit the store. Still no online ordering.
they ran a lot of promos on the iPhone 6 and 6S that they aren't doing with the 7 so the monthly installments are much higher. word is they aren't encouraging JoD anymore so they don't have any incentive to continue the discounted rates.
Joy. I'm not interested in my bill going up by $50 a month just to get the latest and greatest asap.
