JUMP! changing to include tablets, unlimited upgrades and no 6-month wait from Feb. 23 | TmoNewsTmoNews
No more 6 month (180 days) waiting period
No limits on how often customers can upgrade
Customers can JUMP! whenever they want ? trade in an eligible device and receive full credit for all remaining payments on that device, up to half of the phone?s original cost
Expansion to Tablets
We?re yet to see if this will have any major affect on sales or the number of times customers decide to JUMP! One huge positive is that it?s taking away any criticism that JUMP! may have received from skeptics. One point that seems slightly unclear is the third one. I circled back with our source and got the following information:
Current customers with the original JUMP! feature will be grandfathered in and will still be able to upgrade before paying off half of the device, as long as they?ve had JUMP! for 6 months or more.
New customers adding JUMP! will be able to upgrade whenever they like, as long as they trade-in their current phone and 50% of the phone cost is paid by doing so. At least, that?s how we understand it. (You might have to pay something towards paying off the EIP yourself if your phone isn?t the right value. Again: I think. Not 100% on that). So, when they say ?T-Mobile will pay off the remaining EIP balance on your device?, they are really saying ?We?ll pay off the remaining balance, as long as the remaining balance is not more than 50% of the original purchase price.?
Just for price comparison, a note 3 would be $39.50/mo with jump based on full retail, or $237 after 6 months currently . On the new plan, you would be paying $354.
However if you do a one year cycle, it becomes $474 for the old plan, still $354 on the new plan.
Note, I am assuming no $10/mo fee on the new plan like with the Verizon and AT&T plan in the calculation.
