For the 300 dollars in credits, can we trade in the phones in store (once we get our new phones)? Or does it have to be mailed off?
Got a tip for us?

They told me we could bring into the stores or do free shipping
I would just doublecheck with the store inside my rep on the phone was incorrect
I'm checking too soon let me know if they do it at your location
For the first time in many years I am not ordering a phone for delivery on launch date. Actually I am expecting to skip this entire upgrade cycle (unless I am forced to buy due to loss of phone). Not that I don't think the iPhone 8 and X are fine phones. I am sure they are. I'll wait until we have an iPhone with support to Band 71. I also prefer my 6s with an audio jack. Perhaps I am old and outdated, but I want to use my headphones and charge the phone without needing to spend extra money on adapters or anything to make that possible. That will give me another year to see if there are really awesome wireless audio solutions. I am a bit underwhelmed thus far. Good luck for all of you waiting for your new phones.
Remember T-Mobile saying “processing” can be equivalent to apple saying “preparing to ship”.
I think you’ll start seeing some real movements to your order Wednesday onward

It's for my GFs 8. We will probably go into a Tmobile store Friday night when the 8 comes in and see if we can do the trade in there.
so I've been giving this much though i was gonna give up jump for t mobiles new IUP and don't have to pay the insurance to save some money thinking thats half the down payment for next years upgrade but some of you have pointed out the obvious that if something happens to the iPhone X its a $1000 dollar phone... however my reason didn't care to go through t mobiles insurance even though it have some benefits towards lost or stolen... but knowing i can pay around the same and it actually covers AppleCare is what made me decide to keep it.
Okay let us know if it was successful I'm curious
I just got a text from t mobile with a call back number that my order through them was messed up(I did it through the website). they said that some orders were not created correctly. he went through it and made a new order for me but still delivered on release day(we will see). so odd. I never got a confirmation of my order either so at least this is some peace of mind.
Also in talking to him about my trade in iPhone 6 unlocked 16gb gold, he said we are quoted 88 bucks. but once they receive the phone they give you the difference to get me up to 300 bucks. he also said I can take it to a store.
hope this helps if someone gets the same message as me

Maybe we might see something like that on Black Friday. I'm in no rush to upgrade and can possibly wait until November, but the $300 credit for IP6 right now is attractive. Not sure if they'll still have this credit promo for IP6 in Nov.
So just a heads up the sim free X won’t be available till around 2018 sometime from what Apple support told me. Might wanna go a different route
JoD doesn't seem like a good option for you. I'd do the trade in since you'll get the full $300 value out of it since you upgrade every 2-3 years. Remember, the $300 is broken up monthly over 24 months. So in order to get the full benefit of the credit you'd need to keep the same device for 2 years.
I haven't gone through all 24 pages of this thread, so I apologize if this question has already been brought up...I want to pre-order an iPhone X through the Apple iPhone Upgrade Program, but I noticed you have to go into the store in order to get an iPhone via T-Mobile. Can anyone tell me the reasoning?
Essentially, the only way for me to pre-order an iPhone X through the Apple program is to line up on launch day? There is no way for me to pre-order online and come into the store later on launch day to iron out the rest of the details?

T-Mobile doesn't play nice with Apple's activation system. It's always been this way unfortunately.
I was wondering about this. They are offering to pay off your phone as a one time deal if you upgrade after paying half, but then we lose half the value of our previous trade in? If that's the case their one-time upgrade offer loses a lot of appeal. I normally upgrade every 2 years, but went 3 this time. If some of the rumors about next year getting a "Plus" size X with a huge screen are true I may upgrade, but it's all going to depend on the price. Hopefully they'll decide to let us keep the bill credit going along with that deal.
Well, technically more like you need to keep the account active for 2 years. You can pay off the EIP on the phone you get now and sell it outside and still buy a X+ or whatever next year from Apple store and use it on your account, all while getting credits. Only issue is you won't be able to buy the X+/next year model phone from TMob and use their promos if you want to keep the credits from this year.
I am on the JOD program, and I can change my phone every 30 days, (the part I am unsure about is if I have to pay the phone down at least half in order to upgrade, or I just give the old phone to t-mobile and the lease goes away, and I start a new one with the next phone)....
SOOO I think it's the latter, so I ordered the 8+ over Facebook messenger with T-mobile (it's actually neat), and will have it delivered by launch day!

I ended up canceled my JOD order for 8+ because I don't think I will take full advantage of its frequent upgrade feature. imo, JOD is more suited for android phone lovers since there are so many of them coming out throughout a year. Not so much for iPhone.
You just bring them back the phone. It's great for anyone with phone commitment issues to be honest. I have JOD and trade up every few months.
