Yeh, I’m refreshing on all three devices and I also called... 30 mins waiting time lol. Thx. I think they block me from upgrading because of multiple attempts I guess?
That’s my plan too... no success on the website... Twitter reps are slow... waiting for phone call... I need upgrade three lines... I wonder if it’s service fee for each line?
I asked them if they could waive that fee and they gladly did
Finally, after trying on 3 different devices, it finally allowed me to place the order. But it wouldn’t allow me to add device protection or add a down payment, and I couldn’t even add accessories without error messages.
First time pre-ordering through T-Mobile. Nowhere near as smooth as Apple.com. I took advantage of their trade-in deals for the iPhone 12 Mini. The EIP agreement did not reflect the amount with the promotion, and my trade-in email did not show the amount for the promotion. It shows way less. Hopefully that doesn’t mean things went through incorrectly.
idk if it’s posted before, but here is the flight info for planes carrying iphones
once everything dies down a bit, call in and confirm. mine shows the same too, but the rep told me that i would be receiving a 18.33 bill credit every month.
550/30 = 18.33
edit:
this is at the bottom of my confirmation email:
Once your new iPhone 12 Pro Max - Pacific Blue - 128GB ships, you'll have 30 days to send back your current Apple iPhone XS 64GB Grey - T-Mobile in good condition to get a monthly credit of $18.34.

glad yours went thru!
when I didn’t login yet, I was able to press the upgrade button... right when I login and had to choose the color, gb options, the upgrade button was grayed out!
T-Mobile should really get rid of their nightmare javascript based system and start over. My order finally went through for iPhone 12 mini 128 GB in Green at 5:45 PT after getting online and reaching the checkout screen for the first time at 4:55 PT!
After reviewing everything, I actually think they have 3 different things to account for - and likely do so separately: the loan amount they issue; the amount Assurant actually gives them for your trade-in; and the promotional amount T-Mobile advertises they give you.
Same. But I would guess this is by design. The final checkout screen showed the EIP terms then a "Due monthly after promotion" amount different from the EIP amount.

Can somebody help me understand T-Mobile shipping? I just pre-ordered the 12 Mini and selected the express shipping. It says "...will ship between 11/13/2020 and 11/13/2020". Does that mean it literally ships on the 13th and delivers the following Monday or delivers November 13?
For anyone pre-ordering the Mini or Max today, don't forget about the $200 credit if you're a customer of 5+ years. @1080p with the details:
Here is what I found out since I was in the same boat:
You must pay off your 11 ($300+) in order to trade it into TMO or Apple.
Then the monthly $14 bill credit will still continue on TMO as long as you continue service until the 11 contract expires.
You can start a 12 EIP with either TMO or Apple.
If you start with TMO, they give you $500 trade in as EIP for 30 months plus $200 loyalty gift card.
If you go with Apple, you get $350 plus extra $150 for trading in with Apple. Payment can be in full, 24 months thru Citizen's One Loan, 24 months with Apple Card at 0%.

I second that. I went through this a few weeks ago, and everyone (as far as I can tell) with the release date listed as the shipping date got it on launch day. Even many like me, who had a shipping date range of the week after launch, still got it on the release day. I wouldn't worry about it. You should start seeing shipping info in UPS My Choice like Tuesday/Wednesday next week, followed by T-Mobile shipping notifications around Thursday.
ordered two minis.
Blue 256gb shipping date 11/25- 12/1
green 256gb shipping date 11/14- 11/24
ordered the blue mini over an hour before the green so I am guessing that the blue is going to sell out fast
I don't really care if I get the phones on launch day as I'll be out of town.
