This thread is like a roller coaster. Went from hopeful, to confused, to anger, to hope, to anger again, back to hope and then more anger and now confusion with game playing.
Better than all the anger in my opinion

Since this is a T-Mo thread is anyone considering getting the free router from them for WiFi calling? I know its not necessary, but its also a free router with 802.11AC.

How does this work? If you already have an AC router (i have an airport extreme) is it redundant, or is this something designed for just your phone to pick up? is it like a range extender for a router?

As a JUMP! customer who couldn't get JUMP! when I preordered, I'm starting to question whether or not I actually need it. Selling on eBay will get me closer to retail value than the trade-in T-Mobile will give me, I can save $20 if I just get AppleCare+ instead of using the insurance that comes with JUMP!, and I can upgrade without paying off 50% of the device. Am I missing something?

Nope.. you're right on all accounts..

It's just a hassle most people don't want when it comes to selling it yourself directly.

Asked this before but I don't think anyone answered:

Should I get AppleCare+ on top of my current JUMP!?

Both, no. AppleCare+ doesn't give you anything (that I know of) JUMP! doesn't.

Got an AMEX alert that T-Mobile just charged my AMEX $61.19.

That would be $54.20 in taxes and fees (for the iPhone 6) and another $6.99 shipping.

JUMP customer here. Ordered at about 2 p.m. Friday (after trying all day).

Seeing as how they say they wont charge your card until its shipped, that would be a good sign.

As a JUMP! 1 customer, I am glad I don't have to worry about that 50% paid off BS. The only advantage of JUMP! 2 vs. Apple care is if your phone is lost or stolen, you're covered under JUMP!

It is a router that prioritized Wi-Fi calling. It can work in conjunction with your current router, or as a replacement router. http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/11/t-mobile-personal-cellspot/

You should all read T-Mobile twitter account. It will help keep all the bsers and stupid supposed cscrep responses in check. The official response is that all orders show backordered until launch day 9/19 then orders will be fulfilled and sent out. So no one is getting a phone until after the launch day from T-Mobile. Check it out for yourselves and stop the madness

This is a good example of the two things being incongruous. No tracking information; but very soon!?

I wouldn't. You're paying for redundant coverage.

So with JUMP! you don't have to pay off 50%? I paid off 50% of my M8 on 9/11 anticipating I would need to do so to JUMP! to the 6+ on preorder. The website said my line was ineligible for JUMP! until I did that.

Yeah and I'm glued to it, even though I know it won't make my phone get here any faster, haha.

 

[Altimax98]

yes!

Its a 50/50. Basically the $100 you spend is the difference between AC+ and JUMP in deductible. So in order to actually "see" that $100 you have to have an incident... Its really a 50/50 personal choice. Dealing with the Apple Store instead of T-Mobile is a plus though.

Does anyone knows when tmobile gets their inventory

JUMP! 1, the original JUMP!, you don't have to pay off 50%. JUMP! 2, the newer JUMP!, you are required to have 50% of your device paid off.

I took a peek yesterday, AT&T Silver 128 GB 6+ had an estimated delivery of right around Thanksgiving.

If nothing else I can mentally prepare myself for some insane delivery date

Yeah, if I don't get my phone launch day, I'm cancelling JUMP!

JUMP1 - (pre feb 2014 IIRC) Upgrade 2 times per year

JUMP2 - (After Feb 2014) Upgrade anytime as long as your device is 50% paid off OR pay the difference (EIP-Value = $$)

I'd rather know that and realize I need to camp out or go the eBay route if I need it ASAP.

Same here. I'm thinking we're screwed on 6+ orders.
