The phones aren't shipping today, stop getting people's hopes up.

 

[EMGSM]

That's showing you have something coming from Amazon.

Probably a case/screen protector

We go thru same dance for every phone... Stop being in denial and let's talk tomorrow

 

[Hoggles]

We won't get them until next friday it sounds like now.

Blues, you're giving us the Blues, brother 🕴

If you get charged today, there is a 99% chance you'll get a shipping notice this eve, or early Sat morning.

Unless Tmo has changed the way they've done preorders in the last 10 years

Truth, I'm just messing around. Ppl so uptight. Trying to get the first timers blood boiling once you live through one, it gets easier.

I just got off the phone with a very friendly and helpful TMo rep. Since I ordered on 8/8 (after the tab promo start) she could just add the tablet to my existing pre-order; no need to cancel/reorder.

Here's my understanding of the deal:
- I would pay the full price of the tablet today plus tax
- over the next 2 years they credit my bill for 1/24th of the cost - $13.34 for the tab A, $10 for the tab E
- At the end of two years they have paid me back the cost of the tablet minus tax
- I would have to add a new line which for me is $10/month.
- Since I have no need for mobile data on the tablet (tethering to my phone works fine), the net "cost" of the tablet to me is $10/month x 24 months = $240, which is about $80 less than the purchase price (of the tab A).

So in my opinion, this deal is only good if you need a tablet on mobile data. Otherwise you aren't saving much ($80). And I would argue that in 2 years the value of the tablet will be pretty low since there will be newer models available but I'd still be "paying" for the tablet by keeping the line active. If I were to cancel the line they stop crediting my bill so I end up buying it either way.

(edit: I suppose if you were buying the Tab E it does end up being effectively free. The $10/month over 2 years for the extra line exactly equals their full price. Although Amazon sells them for $190 so...)

The rep looked for loopholes to get around the added line thing but couldn't find one. If someone has written evidence that you could cancel the line early or switch to a cheaper option I'd love to see it. Otherwise I'll, sadly, have to pass.

What I don't understand is how they can offer the Tab E *OR* the Tab A since the Tab A (to my knowledge) is wifi only.

Ok- though it'll mostly have to be me on my existing phone and you on yours.

Well that's obvious !!! Lol

Even if shipping label gets created that we wont get the phones till Monday at the earliest

Hoggles and bha are correct. I don't see tmo changing their LOOOOOONG going trends up out of the blur. And again reps ARE NOT privileged to what's going on with warehouse shipping, or really anything short of what their monitors tell them. Think of it this way, do you care or know what the guy in a different department is doing or working on? Do you even know what all is going on in your DIRECT department??

the 10 dollar data plan is 2gb i believe you have to have at least 3gb plan for unlimited netflix or other unlimited binge on partners.

Posted via the Android Central App

The plan states that it includes BingeOn even though the 3GB requirement appears in the BingeOn page.

That's funny, this plan also returns a $10 credit if you have a current voice line. It's actually a world better than the zero data On Demand that costs the same. Ahhhhh

I've gotten preorder on sat/sun. Either way, I don't care. I'm more interested in when roots and roms drop

Why people still asking reps..THEY not going to tell you they shipping early..And i like how we have so called t-mo "not" workers in here thinking they know the shipping dates...The phones will ship when they do stop guessing..Glad we got charged today tho

 

[Almeuit]

T-Mobile charged me. Somethings happening.

 

[itsnotmeitsyou]

I decided to preorder one today instead of going into the store Friday. As long as I get it on or before Thursday, I'll be happy. They're not back ordered yet, so I'm assuming they have plenty stock. I preordered my Note 5 super late as well and still got it the same day everyone else did. The Note 5 said it was back ordered almost right after preorders started.

I bought the tablet in the 10th, did not pay $240. Why on earth would you pay $240 up front on a "free" tablet?

Some times I think tmo, does that to drive preorder up. For they samsung loyals, or just the platform jumpers. Cause a lil frenzy, get sales to climb. You know ppl are easily manipulated.

Tmobile's website states that you will be charged when your device ships. Reference: https://www.t-mobile.com/offer/preorder_modal.modal.html
I think we'll see some shipments today, regardless of what the reps are saying.

 

[Nakrohtap]

People just need to follow the facts and stop asking reps anything. The cards are being charged today.
This is the first step. Many people have been down this road several times. The reps are all over the place.
I wouldn't put any trust in ANY of them.

I've never preordered anything so I've never been through this before. Always just get the devices after they've come out lol. I admit it's kind of fun to anticipate it.
