Other T-Mobile 14 series Pre-Order Thread

If I didn’t have my mom and sisters on my account I would be jumping ship ASAP but that’s easier said than done with everyone on JOD. I’m finally leaving JOD myself but I now need to go to a store to pay my phone off. The system doesn’t allow them on the phone or on chat.

Then I’m doing my preorder with Best Buy because without any promo announced yet they are still doing $800 trade in for the 13 pro max.

T-Mobile really just has so many hidden things that make it unbearable to do anything.

End rant
 
Can you buy the phone first then apply for the magenta max promo credits if you decide to change your plan in say a week or 2? as long as the promo is still active?

To be honest, the only time I remember having to pay a crazy down payment with T-Mobile was when I was starting out with them. I remember I had to have 12 consecutive months paying and the down payment would be removed from my account. Now, going into 13 years now, I only pay taxes, and their processing fee to put in the Pre-Order.

So I’ve been with them almost a year. I have 6 products that were all paid in cash so zero EAP and it shows 370 down for the 13 pro max. I assume the same for the 14. Makes no sense. Never missed a payment etc

Less than 10 hrs and Best Buy hasn’t even updated their site showing the phone
 
How has Tmo not posted payment yet?? People will be calling with no idea what they’ll have to pay.

If I trade in my iPhone 12 Pro Max will I still have to pay a deposit for iPhone 14 PM up front if it’s required? If so can I pre order inside the store instead?

I called yesterday. If your current iPhone is not paid off, you can either pay off the remaining balance, OR, if you are receiving credits on your current iPhone, you can just do a normal upgrade on the same line and have two installments on one line and continue to receive credits on both installments.I will be trading my current phone in, I do the upgrade every year and I am going to keep the installments with credits on both lines, at least until the initial credit hits. This is just what the rep explained to me yesterday. Typically, if you did not have a deposit the previous year, anticipate paying $0 down plus whatever the taxes are for the full retail price of the model you are upgrading to. I hope any of this was somewhat helpful lol. It’s early and I am not even positive it all made sense. Lol

Awesome! I always remind people as well, if you upgrade in store, though you are pre ordering, there are still hours of people getting their pre orders in before the store even opens. I remember working for AT&T during a couple iPhone launches and by the time the store actually opened, the shipment dates would slip from anywhere to a month to a couple months out. So even if you are cool with waiting a bit and not having the phone on launch day, some people had to switch up what models they wanted because some weren’t shipping until December when the phones launched in September.

Yep. All those pre orders hours before the store even opens
 
Yeah that’s true just thought the store would be an option in the event tmobile ask for a deposit upfront online until they receive my old phone

Usually if you haven’t already been paying a deposit, it shouldn’t. I was working for T-Mobile a year ago and it was rare to see a deposit being asked other than paying the taxes upfront if you didn’t already have required deposits. I was concerned I would have to pay my remaining balance off which is why I called yesterday, but you aren’t even required to do that. For me, it is nice to know I can just keep both installments. Getting paid weekly, knowing my income each week, and my money out each month, it’s easier for me to do installments on things than pay them off in a lump sum. Just how my brain workS I guess.

Saw this:

Starting this Friday, September 9, new and existing T-Mobile and Sprint customers, including businesses, can choose from the following offers:

  • iPhone 14 Pro on Us (or up to $1000 off any iPhone 14 series) with 24 monthly bill credits plus tax when trading in an eligible device on Magenta MAX; Business Unlimited Advanced, Ultimate or Ultimate+ for iPhone; or equivalent Sprint plan.
  • HALF OFF the iPhone 14 Pro (or up to $500 off any iPhone 14 series) with 24 monthly bill credits plus tax when trading in an eligible device on almost all T-Mobile plans.
  • Pick up one iPhone 14 and get a second on Us (up to $700 off) with 24 monthly bill credits plus tax when adding a line on almost all T-Mobile plans.
  • Pick up any new Apple watch and get $200 off the second when adding a new watch line.
And at Metro by T-Mobile, starting September 16, anyone can get $200 off the iPhone 14 via instant rebate when they switch and verify ID on a qualifying plan!

Does anyone know if this only applies to ordering from T-Mobile, or does this also apply to ordering/trade through apple.com? Apple was showing the $1000 carrier deal for Magenta Max, but no mention of the $500 on non-Max plans.

Ok appreciate it only 7 mins to go!
 
You can order on T-Mobile now. Just need to decide if I should upgrade to One-Plus add on for $15/mo to get the $800 trade in.
