S21 T-Mobile (and former Sprint) Pre-order
Yea that's what the typically do they asked for 630 down payment for the s21 uktra 51w GB
For what’s it’s worth when I tried to upgrade my daughter’s phone after the Sprint/T-Mobile merger, They asked me for a down payment as well but they didn’t say it had anything to do with any promotional credits.
I tried to upgrade my daughter’s phone online to a IPhone 11 Pro and was hit with a down payment of $800.
Before the merger, my down payment would be less than $200, if that. I upgraded myself to the iPhone 11 Pro a couple weeks after it was released and only paid $150 down.
Anyways, I ended up calling Sprint Executive Team and was told that their upgrade policies/down payment requirements have changed due to the merger and that Sprint was taking T-Mobile’s approach with upgrading devices. I thought some of the changes that the Sprint Rep was telling me about that were taking place due to the merger, was changes that could possibly void any Sprint contracts, but I didn’t fight it.
I did reach out to Android Central around that time as well to see if they was aware of any changes that was taking place due to the merger, specifically upgrade deposits. They were looking into it, but I didn’t hear anything else back.
Since then, I just pay for my devices outright. Especially if the deposits are already high in itself.
