Definitely not a scam. You lease the device, sure, but if you decide to keep it past the 18 months there's an option to buy out the phone at a price that was dictated at purchase. For instance, if o keep the note 7 the entire time the buyout is $175 I believe. But if I don't (won't) keep it the entire time, I have 3 upgrades a year. It's basically designed for people (like us!) who don't plan on keeping the phones for very long. Many of us didn't have to spend a penny to preorder the Note 7, we just pay it on our bill. Essentially I've been able to own the iPhone 6S+, and soon the note 7, and the only thing I've paid out of pocket up front is the $100 I paid for my 64gb 6S+.I still have my T-Mobile Note 4 and it still works great....I just wish I could afford to get a Note 7 right now...I imagine I'll get one at some point, but it probably won't be until Christmas at the earliest.
Also as a side note, I find it interesting that so many people are interested in buying the Note 7 through JOD, which seems like the mother of all scams because you put so much money into the program but you'll never own the device...unless I am wrong about how JOD works. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...that was just my (possibly ignorant) impression of JOD.

You can actually pay off your device on JOD anytime you want, for the same overall cost as people buying outright or paying on payment plans. The benefit, to me, since I used to be primarily a LG guy, was T-Mobile was guaranteeing a trade in value on the device. In my case, I still owe T-Mobile $400 on my LG V10. They are currently selling on Swappa for about $280 or so. If I owned my V10 and had paid the original price of $600, I could recoup about $280 by selling do I would be out of pocket $320. By giving my V10 back to T-Mobile, I've only spent $200. So I've saved myself $120.I still have my T-Mobile Note 4 and it still works great....I just wish I could afford to get a Note 7 right now

Yeah definitely good deal for devices which don't value. Personally i don't use JOD but can see it's hassle free for changing phones with the only caveat that T-Mobile should carry the device. But they carry all flagships probably Nexus is the one which can be hit or miss. But in those situations just buy outside of JOD I guess.
You need more info than that. I made a post with links for what you need to do, let me find that.

That request wont be completed until it hits your local distribution center. They will see the hold request and route it ups store instead of your home. That should be early in the morning so by the time you wake up tomorrow morning there will be bunch of activity on the tracking.
Cleaner, simpler software, developer friendly, quicker updates. They are getting better in terms of camera , features every release but they will never match the feature set OEMs offer.
It's more for people who don't like carrier and OEM software. It's fun device just like every other device
Nice gotcha. I'm sure the camera is pretty good. Samsung always appears to be best in that area tho

Hey at least you know it's on its way. I still have zero sign of shipping. No text, no email, no tracking number, and my account still just says "order placed."

As g mentioned, it's not a scam at all. It's nerds dream. Who cares about owning a phone, when you can switch up to 3 times a year. I paid $60 for the two months I had my S7e....and I'll wind up paying about $120 for the Note 5 I've had since then. For the 6 months I'll have the Note 7 until I get the S8...I'll pay around $250 or so. With a free Gear VR and soon Fit2 as well....and most likely a free VR with the 4k S8
Sure, we're always paying a monthly payment toward a phone...but I'd be doing that on a regular EIP anyway. This way, it's new phone bliss, pretty much whenever you want.
JOD is awesome

Yep Samsung camera's are the best alongside iPhone and LG flagship. If there are Windows phone fanboys they will be all over me now for not including high end Lumia
Agreed. I'd love for T-Mobile to carry the Nexus devices for more variety but they really haven't made one I was just dying to have. I have a Pixel C to get my Nexus fix. And although they have gotten better, I find myself more and more caring about camera quality and there are always better options in the camera department.

I don't know this is my first preorder. My ups still shows it hasn't shipped yet it was pending my request to change to ups store delivery
I was disappointed with the Note5, and that wasy first Note device. I like the looks of the 3 and 4 better.
Well that happens a lot. Sometimes TMO is way behind in getting their system updated.
You can try the UPS My Choice account and when you have a tracking number of may show up there for you.
I found my post. This is all the info you need and links of two ways to claim your gift.
