Carrier T-Mobile iPhone 12 Pre-Order Thread

[macfan406]

How do I ask about that. I ordered online, and it didn't mention it.

Someone posted a link to that earlier, basically if you’ve had an iPhone on T-Mobile since Nov of 2015 you’re eligible for a loyalty credit using a certain promo code. I just submitted mine. The catch is you can’t do it until you have your IMEI number.

Now it’s important to note I haven’t been approved yet but I did apply so fingers crossed

Well, I just asked a Tmobile rep for order update and she said the gold Pro are backordered and I should expect it by my 11/3-11/9 date. Bummer.

Every poll I see I never see a lot of people wanting the gold. I would think it would be easy to get a gold very fast. Maybe Apple made too few gold models or maybe I’m just sad 😢 that I have to wait until November for my gold iPhone 12.

So I was charged the $70 tax on Monday when I ordered (11:20ish, I think), but just noticed the charge is gone. My status still says ships 10/23, but I do have an IMEI and UPS still says scheduled for Friday. So I guess it’s a toss up for me. Hoping to see some activity soon.

This is for Pro Graphite 128gb.

I just noticed (when digging through my account looking for imei details, lol) that they have my iPhone XS quoted as $241 for trade in value. That’s odd... I thought they were giving “up to $500” for it. Anyone else notice any weirdness with trade in values for older devices?

Don’t worry. Look at your confirmation email right when you placed the order. That shows the amount you will get back per month as a credit. I think the $241 is how much T-Mobile is actually getting from the wholesaler handling the trade in. And then T-mobile is subsidizing the other $259 (if the total is $500). And they will pay it to you over 30 months of bill credits.

how many folks went for the white 12/12pro? Im stuck between the graphite or the white for the 12 pro

Been lurking for a long time in this thread. I preordered my iPhone 12 in-store (we were outside technically cause of COVID). I could see the pre-order on the T-Mobile app but not on UPS My choice and never got any notification of a tracking number. So seeing how there were people on here getting tracking numbers I decided to message T-Mobile help on Twitter and got a response. Just thought it would help a few people to see what they said.

Yup, you’re right. Makes sense now. Thank you!!

I‘m a little frustrated myself. I ordered a gold for my wife who absolutely did not care and will cover it with a case anyway. I just figured resale value might be better on it.

Has anyone seen any movement I was expecting it would move today to arrive on Friday still stuck in “ready for ups”

I show the IMEI now and shipping moved from 10/23 to 10/21. I did overnight shipping so would be thrilled if I get it tomorrow but not expecting that

What time did your order get finalized?

I cant stand how these carriers give more credit to new customers than to existing ones. TMo gives a new customer $850 credit for the XS Max if the start new service, but Ive been with them for 5 years, and only get $500. I get attracting new customers, but at some point, us loyal customers will go to another carrier for a sweeter deal. Take care of your current clients, and the new customers will come.

Another reason why I left and went to Verizon.

Once you have your IMEI number head over here. https://promotions.t-mobile.com/ and use the code 2020APPLEUPGRADE3 and this link here should provide some more details on how this works https://www.t-mobile.com/support/account/apple-iphone-with-5G-offers#tenure .

do we submit the rebate request after we trade in or we can do it now? i remember that part of the requirement is to trade in

You just need the IMEI of the new iPhone

 

[macfan406]

So who here is making a downgrade from a Max phone to the normal (X, Xs, 11 Pro?)

I think I’ll be pretty happy with the Pro since I loved the size of the Xr.

Fortunately I have JOD so if I do want the Max I can just do a JOD upgrade a month after Friday.

From what I can tell Verizon has nearly the same policy, and the plans are more expensive.

I’m fine with the prices. I get better service and perks that are more worthwhile for me.

T-Mobile reminding some customers to use newer SIM card to access standalone 5G

Did you get a text message from T-Mobile telling you that you should swap your SIM card to get the best 5G experience? If so, you’re not alone. T-Mobile is sending texts to some customers this week to remind them that it’s a good idea to upgrade to the ... [read full article]

I just saw a charge on my card! But order status not updated and no IMEI under EIP.

I wont get my phone until November 10. ill be out the country by then. bummer. but I called to see what other options I have. im. going to try to go to the store early in the morning to see if they will have it in stock. They said I can just cancel the order then order it in the store. and still be able to use the promotions. so im going to try that. if possible
