I have T-Mobile jump. And the way it works is if you pay half of the phone off they will pay the remaining balance of your EIP so that you can upgrade... I paid off half of it in less than a year with regular payments.... so when this one comes out I'm gonna get it... and by next year I will be able to jump again to the new iPhone if I want... unless the upgrade isn't worth it the. I'll just pay off the phone all the way and keep it
Got a tip for us?

T-Mobile Offering Free 32GB iPhone 7 During Pre-Order With Trade-In

Well now this makes things interesting. I had no plans to upgrade from 6s Plus to the 7 but now it seems like a no brainer. The big question is do you really have to switch to the new plans. If so then I'll pass, otherwise it looks like I'll be getting a 7 after all.
Would this iPhone 7 be locked to t-mobile or could I use it on AT&T? I have phones on both services, but AT&T is my primary and would like to use this on AT&T.
Or, regarding the AT&T deal, if you are an existing customer, you need to move a line from a competitor? Not many existing customers also have competitive lines, too...

Federal Law prohibits HOAs from disallowing or restricting your ability to install a satellite dish. See these references:

It doesn't say that in their terms page.
I have an iPhone 6 on ATT and an Android on TMO. Can I use my iPhone 6 ATT phone as a trade in? Will the TMO iPhone 7 work on ATT?
My understanding is if you pay the rest of the price you get to keep the phone, so as long as you'll be staying with them for a few months it is probably worth it as you would have to pay the full cost minus the bill credits for however many months you stick with T-Mobile, and if you stay for the whole two years you'll get a free phone.
So does this mean that if I have Jump On-Demand, am currently paying monthly for my iPhone 6S, taking advantage of this promotion will effectively decrease my monthly payment since I'll no longer be paying the monthly cost of a device?
Actually I thought about it some more.
T Mobile will be offering this deal during the ENTIRE pre order period. The 12th (my last day on contract) is STILL under pre order period. So no ETF to worry about
Can someone please tell me if my logic is wrong?!
Just go in Friday and pre-order since your contract will be up before the new phone even ships.
What T-Mobile can do is set your account up and give you a SIM card and temporary number, that way you can keep using your old phone until the new phone gets in. Once you get the new phone go back in and they'll port the number over. I don't know where someone came up with a week to port/activate, it should be within the hour.
When the number gets ported ATT will automatically generate a final bill and send it to you.
So how does the One Plan differ for those of us currently on an unlimited plan? I have 4 phones on that and am considering using a paid off 6 to get a 7 (The others just got new 6s so the economics don't add up).
So technically you could buy a 32gb iPhone 6s for $549 and trade it in along with $100 for a 128gb iPhone 7? A lot of work, but you'd save $100.
John's already confirmed it. Check his Twitter feed. You have to pay off the EIP balance before proceeding.
With JOD you would order the new phone you want, paying taxes and additional $ depending on storage. Your current phone would be turned in to a TMO store where the lease balance would be zeroed out and you would start a new lease on the new phone. Nothing to do with this promo.
if you want to take advantage of this promo using your current phone, you would have to pay off the remaining balance. That would include the total of remaining payments + the lease payoff (consult your lease docs).
If you want to take advantage of this offer by trading in a different phone, you would still owe the balance of your 6S which you would continue to make monthly payments on. So if you have an extra phone to trade in, you could end up with two phones on your account but only pay for one as you'd be getting a monthly bill credit for the other.
Hope that helps.
Of course, but now they compete more on the plan price as well since customers can bring their own phone. By separating the subsidy from the plan people can make a better choice as to which is the best deal for them.
One major caveat: Dishes must be less than 1 meter in diameter.
Limitations can be imposed on masts over 12 ft above the roofline, however.
DirecTV has 6 different dish sizes. The largest being 36" x 22".
They will be able to provide you with one that meets your HOA guidelines.
It will be locked until it's paid off. T-Mobile is paying it off over 24 months via bill monthly credits.
I'm pretty sure that's correct, but I'll also be giving them my current phone which I can sell for probably around $300. So I probably need to stay with them for at least a year for it to be beneficial.
I've read conflicting reports that say this program is only if you use T-Mobile 1, and that's a definite deal breaker so we'll see.
BB has been great, but one has to keep up on their offers - I usually cruise the Slickdeals home page before I need something, and BB seems to always match sales offers and all I have to do is walk in and ask 99% of the time. I use VZW and ATTWS but use T-Mo's offers as a means to start the "haggle". And there are so many offer backdoors with BB you might be surprised - just two weeks I took delivery of a 64GB VZW iPhone 6S at their $200-off sales price of $99 on my old contract to extend my UL data on that line for another 2 years and flipped the phone for $550 the next day, BB still hasn't closed that backdoor 5 years after it started...
With what you're asking about, I went in to a store on Monday to add a line to my ATTWS work plan and the rep told me about the "great deals" from other carriers that they'd match if I would add a line or port a line, and called out the T-Mo deal as an option. The carriers are throwing money at them to get us to sign up or port over. As an option, wait a week or two and see what they offer - the ATTWS BOGO offer +$400 for my mom and I was too good to pass up and it was a better deal than anything that T-Mo was offering at the time. I didn't bite then as I was just fishing for a deal and don't need the line for a few weeks but I'll be cruising their ads over the weekend after the iPhone 7 is in their stores! Cheers!
