Carrier T-Mobile iPhone X/8 Pre-Order and Dispatch Thread

i guess this is it, delivery truck is still on time and everything seems to be good for tmro delivery. hopefully nothing wrong happens till then lol
 
Im considering ordering one from T mobile, but before I even bother calling to ask, I want to know if any of you compadres have answers.
1) Will buying through T mobile keep the phone locked to T mobile? Or do they sell it unlocked (or unlock it after full payment)?
2) Does T mobile offer an iPhone upgrade program if you decide to do monthly payments to where you can upgrade to the new one next year?
 
I was gonna order a silver 64gb today seeing how there shipping out so fast .. but I just love my SG too much so I ordered it . Got a date of 12/1 -12/7 maybe I’ll get lucky and get it earlier .

Hello
I don't know If anyone knows the answer. But Im currently on Jump on Demand and I'd like to leave JOD. I ended up going to Apple's Upgrade program for the Iphone X. Well I still currently have my Iphone 7+ 128gb that I'd have to pay $252 for my remaining payments. Does anyone know of a cheaper way to do this? Jump to a Cheaper phone? Or Return it? Just trying to find my cheapest way to leave JOD.

From what I understand, you could jump to a cheap phone and then return it during the return period and just pay the $50 restocking fee. Someone will correct me if I’m wrong though.
 
I owe $150 on mine, same phone as you. Apple rep said I could pay it off then they'd give me credit towards to new X (I think it was $325). I already canceled JUMP.

1. Yes, it is locked to T-Mobile. If you buy it through Apple, you get an unlocked iPhone with a T-Mobile sim in it. You can however unlock it after a 45 day period when you pay the full price of the iPhone. I booked my iPhone through T-Mobile this past Monday because they had the 300$ offer on it, and that is what the T-Mobile rep told me.
2. They do, it is called JoD or Jump On Demand. The minute you have over 50% of your iPhone paid off, you can upgrade to a newer phone. There are a lot of technicalities involved in it, you should really ask T-Mobile.

I ordered an iPhone X SG 64gb with an original ship date of 12/1-12/20, but it was bumped to 12/1-12/8 with order status partiallySAPbackorder, does anyone know what this means?

That means it’s coming! Look out for a UPS tracking number. I had my status change to “partiallySAPbackorder” yesterday and today my space gray 256gb was delivered.

Did you get UPS tracking or did it just show up the next day? Did you pay for overnight shipping?

Hey! Good to see you from last years release. Get yours yet? Just checking back to see if last years people are back. I recently just switched to Verizon so I’m following that thread more.

Hey! Good to see you from last year as well. I preordered the 256gb Space Gray on 10/27 and received mine on launch day. So far I’m loving it and have gotten use to the gestures. The only issue I have was I wish the phone was bigger.

No, I did find that strange, I didn’t get charged, I’m hoping that they charge me today.

Nice! Just ordered the 64GB SG on 11/14. Shipping date for 12/13. Felt like the X was going to be too small until I tried it out in the store. Sweet spot. Glad you’re enjoying it

I just ordered my 64gb Silver last night. They said it'll ship within 10 business days. Then shipping was 3-5 business days. So we'll see.

Hey,

I wanted to tell all of you folks about my experience so far. I ordered a SG iPhone X 256 GB via the T-Mobile store this Monday 11/13 at around 2:30 PM. My original shipping date was 12/06 - 12/20. My card just got charged. My shipping date has since changed to 11/16 - 11/20. So the articles about improved shipping dates are true. I am sure all of you will get your iPhones soon as well. I'll keep you folks posted, I am expecting to see a UPS tracking number soon. :)

Space Gray 64GB ordered on the 6th. Just got an alert from bank that a charge has been made. App and website still shows being processed.

Silver 256GB ordered on the 6th, still no sign of movement.
 
Has anyone had their card not go through the first time? If so, how long did it take them to recharge you? Thank you so much!
