T Mobile Pre Orders

[X1tymez]

For some reason, if you order through Samsung - T-Mobile Financial they require a $420 deposit which a lot of people find strange. Even with $1k trade in credits.

It's because the 1K is an enhanced credit - instant trade-in value. The difference is spread over 24 months which in turns can not be applied to what ever they are requiring down.

Yeah. I'm not falling for it, tried again with T-Mobile website and it's 0 down payment.

It would be nice to go through Samsung because of Freebie.

I cancelled my tmobile order, I've had some major problems with returning phones with them over the last year and don't want to go through that again just in case I change my mind on the phone.

That is why it is better to buy like a used Note|10 for under $200. Send that in for the trade in with T-Mobile get $1000 trade in value and then sell your newer model phone. So if you have to send back and are stuck with it only s $200 investment.

I have a co-worker who's on T-Mobile but he's grandfathered in to some plan from Sprint I have no idea what it is. I was telling him about the deals on the
the 23. Which he would probably want the Plus if he did it at all. He said he has a one plus nine maybe it's a plus. I said oh you might qualify for $800 he said his phone is paid off. He said he was going to go to T-Mobile tomorrow and see what kind of deal he could get. But I didn't know if he could go through Samsung and do it and get at least $100 in accessory credit. I'm sure he won't wait to put money down.

My problem wasn't with the trade in but sending back a z flip 4 that I ordered in September. The phone was mailed back to them and UPS delivered it and they could never find it in the warehouse and I just got that phone finally taken off my account last month, January. I'm not going through that mess again. I called so much that I know most of their names by the sound of their voice.

I live in an apartment and mail is tough. I decided a few years ago that walk in is better. I had to wait after release to get a good deal on my Note 20U. I'll probably do the same with this one. I haven't upgraded in over 2 years because of the monthly installment plan. My phone works fine, I just want that better camera (and a few new upgrades).

So i went to T-Mobile app to look to order the S23 ultra and it says it is sold out. Basically all s23s are sold out. So I'm guessing that the big trade in value are finished.

Go into a T-Mobile store or call them directly. If you can, find a corporate location, not an authorized reseller and see if they can get you on the pre-order list even though they are out of stock and apply the credit.

Sometimes, they can work some wizardry behind the scenes that are not available on the website.

Just got charged for my phone pre orders. Means shipping could be soon. Usually charge then shipping in next day or two.

I think I read somewhere Samsung is making less S23's to keep the demand and price up, because they knew they weren't going to sell as many in the current economy for the prices they're asking. Same reason the Samsung trade in values are so low. The carriers are subsidizing the best deals this year.

It's the same thing AMD and Nvidia are doing with their graphics cards... trying to keep the prices pushed up to the stupid high pricing during the middle of the pandemic, when there was a huge shortage. Real class acts

This happened to me. Both my wife's phone and my phone got disconnected from Tmobile network....
It seems that Samsung screwed some things up during the order/fullfillment process... (I ordered them through Samsung site on Tmobile network)....

[chamomiami]

So tmobile charged us and no tracking yet.... Btw, anyone use Jump! Here?? How was the deal to switch the phone?

 

[teristark]

Sorry, wrong place to post.

I used Jump 1.0. No real deals with it as I send in my phone and get a new phone. Just paid taxes and is $50 a month for the s23 ultra. Benefit is I can upgrade twice in rolling 12 months so if I decide I hate TMobile tomorrow I jump to the cheapest phone before leaving.
