I always go in store. As long as the half is paid off I just pay the taxes on the phone.You've been able to preorder through t mobile without paying anything?

That was my mindset after the Note10 prices. We skipped those and decided to ride out the JOD on both our Note9's. JOD is pure garbage now. They should just ditch it and get creative with their leases. Obviously, they just want your service. However, to get more customers or keep customers, they need to be a little more flexible with their customers and pricing. It's not rocket science.Agreed! I'm thinking about paying off my S10+ to get out of JOD and trading it into Samsung to have a manageable price. Such a shame that JOD is garbage now!
If they were really customer friendly, they would offer flexible down payments and 2 or 3 year plans. Give the customer some choices. No one wants a $58 monthly payment, but still want the ultra. Some people also don't need to update their phone every year.My pixel is completely paid for. I'm also on the Jump, I'd rather pay a small down payment and lower monthly EIP. But I'd never go over $30 a month.
I'm on Jump! not JOD. I have $210 left on my Note 9, so I assume it's well more then 50% paid off. I've never pre ordered before, but I'm really looking at the Ultra 128gb. So mine would be 0 down + 58 a month? I wouldn't pay anything for the preorder besides taxes?
Was $0 down the online price advertised because I know it switches from $0 down and higher payments (sometimes they do the 36 month option too) or money down and lower monthly payments? I'm on Jump on Demand and I always get whatever the online price they advertise.Doubt you'll get $0 down.
I'm On JUMP. I had one payment left in my Note9 for half off, and went in store for a note 10+. They wanted several hundred up front, plus the last payment for half off. Been with tmobile 5 years. Didn't change phones.
I like their unlimited and coverage where I'm at. But really, to get a newer top of the line phone, is just expensive

Are you sure you're not on Jump instead of JoD? With JoD you can upgrade whenever you want after having a phone for 30 days. Just turn your current phone in and pay the JoD price. No worrying about having a phone half paid off.
The reason JoD isn't very good anymore is because phones have just gotten so expensive. It doesn't make sense for TMo to lease out a $1000.00+ phone for 0 down and $30/month.
Well aren't you special RaRa lol. If you are paying just the taxes on the phone, it sounds like you have Jump! and not JOD. With JOD you don't pay the taxes just the down payment and the smaller monthly cost. With Jump!, you can pay just the taxes for a higher monthly payment, but you need to have 50% of your phone paid off. I would double check with upgrade program you are enrolled in.
I don't know which Jump I'm on then. I just know I can upgrade at any given time as long as half the device is paid off. And if I meet those requirements I get whatever the online price is as far as money down and monthly payments.
Yes dumb and confusing. I don't know which way I'm jumping.lol I just jump anyway.That sounds like Jump instead of Jump on Demand. I always thought it was a dumb naming scheme to have 2 upgrade programs with such similar names.

[FONT="]I'm beginning to think that there is a mistake in what information they've given out to various sites like tmonews, et al. the question is: doesn't T-Mobile have a social media person who would monitor these things and, should incorrect information be posted, promptly act to correct such misinformation? Well, apparently not![/FONT]
[FONT="]what i don't understand is this: customer acquisition is the most costly part of growing their business, right? so customer retention is key and less costly than customer retention. furthermore, customers who are loyal and continue to, year after year, upgrade to their FLAGSHIP phones, every single year, year after year, wouldn't they think to treat this group of customers well? (assuming there are no inherent credit issues with a particular individual)[/FONT]
[FONT="]$850 down and then a monthly fee PLUS insurance, etc., would mean roughly $1,400 or so (incl the insurance) to use the Ultra for 12 months. that's more than $130+ to "rent" this phone per month![/FONT]
[FONT="]do they really expect people to do that, or, are they counting on a huge drop off in customer count and have a large group of flagship phone customers migrate over to, say, the S20 or the S20+, just so that they don't have to pay as much as the S20 Ultra?[/FONT]
[FONT="]shaking my head in disbelief.[/FONT]
I couldn't agree with you more. I've been with T-Mobile for more than 16 years where's my loyalty discount?
Its called free 2-day delivery upgrade for being a loyal customer. I get told that every upgrade lolI couldn't agree with you more. I've been with T-Mobile for more than 16 years where's my loyalty discount?
