Thanks. I have never done Jump of any kind with T-Mobile. I usually buy outright.
I did that for ages, but when I saw that JoD was offered (for a short time) I calculated that I could get a new phone every year for an annual cost under $600 and then I didn't have to deal with trying to sell or trade in my device. I just give it back to T-Mobile and get the new one. eBay took a toll on me years ago and I wanted an out. This was it.
 
At the end of the 18 months of a Jump on Demand lease, do you turn the phone in, or are you able to keep the phone at that point? Meaning do you own it then?

You have the option to turn it in or to pay the buyout price and own it (like leasing a car). I don't think this is offered anymore, though. I think those of us that have it on our accounts are the only ones that can avail of it.

Whats weird, is that on T-mobile's website now, it shows up to $830 in trade in for 12 Pro Max. 12 Pro Max is no longer being sold. Maybe T-mobile is doing same $830 promo for iPhone 13?
You can still get the 12 pro Max from T-mobile.
 
I just DM'd T-Mobile to ask what the story is with JoD. I'm over here trying to make informed decisions and I'm not getting much from them.

The details are in:

We have received Jump On Demand pricing for well-qualified customers, which includes you! For the iPhone 13 mini 128 GB, the down payment for well qualified customers would be $0 and then $29.99 each month for 18 months. For the iPhone 13 128GB, the down payment for well qualified customers would be $49.99 and then $30.00 each month for 18 months. For the iPhone 13 Pro 128 GB, the down payment for well qualified customers would be $249.99 and then $28.00 each month for 18 months. For the iPhone 13 Pro Max 128GB, the down payment for well qualified customers would be $349.99 and then $26 each month for 18 months.
Guessing no upgrade for me? Can’t afford the $350 way to much sorry and apparently super well qualified is what I am (as I called in to an expert) does that mean I get lower price thanks $350 no right

Apparently they take the price of the phone, subtract $750 and you pay the difference up front. Even on the highest credit tier. These guys went on to thank me for my years of loyalty, my many lines of service, blah blah blah, but in the end, me paying MSRP-$750 up front is the best they can do.

I’ve got out of JOD because of the crazy down payments. I ended up going the EIP way and that I plan on doing that. Usually I get $0 down on EIP’s. You just pay taxes.

Hello Ladies and Gents new to T-Mobile from Verizon so hopefully this is as smooth as Verizon has been for me in the past

I think I'm just gonna pay off my 12 Pro JOD, I've got 6 months left and the payout; Then next year I'll use it as a trade-in towards the 14 if they have those good trade-in offers like last year for EIP... JOD is not worth it anymore. They should just offer everyone to convert over to EIP.
 
Does anyone know the the special deal on apple.com works? When I get ready to preorder my total comes out to the full price of the phone but the offer says I should get $700 off. $200 instant from apple and the rest form T Mobile bill credits.

I'm fine with JOD as long as they keep doing it, because of the things I mentioned above....I get a new phone whenever I want as long as I'm willing to pay whatever down payment. The math works for me. I get the latest phone every fall for significantly less than buying it outright, and I'm not tied to EIP and bill credits for 24-30 months.

Everyone has their own reasons and opinions. It works for me. I know it's not for everyone.
 
Anyone have experience preordering from the mobile site or the app? I usually do it from my desktop but I’ll be away from my computer tomorrow and wondering if it’ll be a comparatively smooth experience on the mobile site.
