Jump users can't participate since they cannot trade-in a phone in addition to the one that they're returning (the EIP one).

Some people claim that they did (big mouths with no proof), but you can't. If you got to my-tmobile and click on trade-in you have to give the order number and phone number and you will get a message that you have already reached the maximum amount of trade-ins for that order (namely your jump device)

I ordered using the normal upgrade, then traded in the phone online. I then called and asked them to cancel the order then reorder with JUMP. It still kept the old trade in as well.

so the trade-in is unrelated to your jump upgrade order, anyone could do that

With what?

I asked a rep on phone and she said only one trade in per line.

well that sucks, i thought the jump program was part of trading in your device so i guess not 200 promotion for us.

of course you can't use Jump and get the 200 rebate; with Jump, you aren't "buying" anything, you're just "renting" the phone for a period of time..

Not true. If anything you're paying for the privilege to sell it back to T-Mo for a guaranteed 50% of it's value. Once you pay it off its your phone.

I effectively got $300 credit from my gs4 that still had a year of $25 payments on it... I'm plenty happy with that credit that really makes the Samsung promo null and void even if I COULD use it.
I was already paying $12 bucks a month on insurance before the JUMP! Program and un-plan came along. I lowered my bill over $20(was ~$188) even after I got unlimited everything family plan($80), increased my data cap 2 gigs on my line for a total of 3($10), got jump for $10 per line, not $12 like insurance was($20), and financed 2 phones($20 & $25 for a total of $163 after various taxes) and i get to JUMP! twice a year per line after the first 6 months passed, that's 4 phones a year for only taxes, which is lower then the "plan discounts" you used to get every 2 years!
....I'm plenty happy with JUMP! and no sammy promo on a full priced phone, tmobile is the one losing money, that's for sure.

I'm on the original Jump, so it works differently for me..
and, yes, if you keep the phone for 2 years, and pay it off, its yours, but I doubt many folks who follow XDA keep ANY phone for 2 years..

Ive only payed a year on mine and owe 280 and according o the check out, im only getting the 280 to pay it off.

So they are effectively giving you 280 for your phone, $80 more than the Samsung credit...
I'm on the old jump plan also... I didn't even realize it changed till this upgrade and was reading the new terms... still an ALRIGHT plan, but the original is a steal... you really are only stuck for the first 6 months, or = to 1/4th the value the original phone, then you can jump twice a year after that n that literally means i can jump now to the note 4 and if I want, jump again in 2 months to the note edge.
If I DO want to keep any phone for 2 years also, I'm paying for the base price of the phone, interest free... n i was already paying more for insurance anyways, so in my case the monthly fee for the jump plan isn't even a knock against me(that 240 bucks for 2 years of jump+insurance is less than just old insurion @$288 for 2 years) n I'm actually likely to use the plan, where I maybe used insurance once in 7 years.

yeah, alot of folks forget that jump includes Insurance AND Lookout Premium for free; its not just a "tax" to be able to change phones frequently

I also had jump, but I didn't use it, since they want the phone back, i pre-order the note4 and do a trade in
i had a verizon i4 which tmobile gave me 203buck for it and i5 which is icloud lock and i got 232buck all in credit. i think i got a good deal with 2 useless phone. i talked to a rep u can trade in as many smart phone as u want as long as it not broken doesn't matter if it icloud lock. if that help somebody

is it possible if i trade my galaxy s3 into where i work (ATT) and pre order the note 4 from t mobile and still get $200?

I've had T Mobile for about 3 years now and ive traded in 3 or 4 of my past phones, all rooted.
I traded my S3, S4, Note 3, Nexus 5 all rooted.
Just make sure before you turn it in, it's back to factory settings (i.e. Odin a stock Firmware.)
Of course the Knox will still be tripped, but T Mobile doesnt care about that, more of a Samsung Warranty issue rather than T Mobile.

Thank you @devynbf for your info. I'll go ahead and root my phone.

OP can you tell me what value you see in Tmobile's JUMP?
Since you're ready talking about trading in your Note 4 it's safe to assume 6 months or 1 year from now you're willing to let it go at half the cost? Half the cost of today's current Tmobile price is $349.
A mint condition Note 3 on ebay or craigslist will sell for that much.
Hence the question what's the value in Jump? Why would I wanna pay someone 10 dollars a month for the benefit of selling my device at half the cost? I think I can do better myself without a monthly fee

T Mobile employee here, rooting your phone will not trigger anything for a tmobile employee while they inspect your phones, the main thing we look for is water damage, screen, and it turns on and runs. Anything outside of that we will pretty much ask you to make an insurance claim and pay the 175 dollar deductible.
---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------
Keep in mind tho, when we mess up, and accept a device that needed a claim, the price of the device comes out of our pockets. Yes it sucks.

Depends on jump program

I have the very first jump program.
It's amazing.
It's $10/month, and it counts as insurance if ny device decides to fall in the toilet.
It also lets me upgrade my device every 6 months. As long as you trade in the original device and its functional.
Best thing T Mobile has ever done, especially with all the new devices being released.

I'm assuming since he just switched over that he's on the new JUMP plan. By the time you've paid off 50% of the device on that plan you're 12 payments in. After 1 year I'm not sure if you'd be able to sell the device for more than $325.92 (half of retail) unless it's in 100% mint condition. (I could be wrong). As an example Swappa says the Note 3 is selling for an average price of $335 right now in February 15. I guess it's really a wash. I don't use a case on my devices and they typically get pretty beat up. T-Mobile will take it back all scratched up and beat up looking as long as the screen is not cracked and the water indicator isn't tripped.. You're going to be getting around the same price as trying to sell it online without having to deal with the hassle and shipping issues.
I'm on the old JUMP plan so it definitely makes sense for me. As long as you purchase the phone with 0 down, you're just paying up front taxes and 6 months worth of payments. At $27.16 for 6 months my total investment is $52.14 front tax plus $162.96 equals $215.10. So I'm only paying $430 per year and getting a brand new device every 6 months. I don't count the cost of the monthly JUMP since I would be paying for insurance anyway. T-Mobile is paying $488.88 for my device after owning it for only 6 months. I'm okay with that. You won't get that much selling online after 6 months for a used device that's scratched up.

Technically they are not paying anything... They have a different math than us "consumers' ... any new device comes out from the factory cost no more than $150 if not less "Google it". Plus when your return the phone they sell it somehow and make money from it. So these companies making billions of dollars anyways from us. But in our math yeah it's good to change the phone every 6 month and so on and we only pay around $250

Note 7 Resale Value

I have the Note 7 and i love this phone and really want to just replace it with the new Note 7 but i'm usually don't keep phones more than 1 year or maximum 2 year, and because the bad "reputation" with the recall (i don't care about that)
i'm afraid that i will not be able to sell it.
I bought the Note 7 from T-mobile with $69 + Tax and on 24 month contract.
Do you think i just need to return it and move on, or replace it ?
Also I thought to sign for "JUMP on demand" get the Note 7 and get different phone when i'm ready for it,
do you think it's worth it ?

It's a great opportunity to get onto Jump On Demand. I was on an alternate version of Jump and was able to switch when I returned the Note 7 and freed me up to get JOD. Just note that most stores are reluctant to offer it to you. You have to say that you talked to customer service and they said you could.

If you go the 18 months of the lease, you can purchase the device at a cheap price. Example would be the Galaxy S7 Edge for $175 at the end of the lease.

Is anyone keeping the Note7 V1 and the loaner phone?

I am thinking to keep both till Note 8, though not happy still being charged on EIP monthly for my Note 7.

I like to keep my Note 7 at least until the Galaxy 8 releases if possible but I hear T-Mobile is blocking Note 7s in New Zealand and I don't see the stopping there if their plan works out. I like to hold out for the Note 8. According to some business predictions Samsung will blow our pants off in order to make up for all the trouble and stress they caused us all.

I don't know about the note 7 v1 but they are allowing you to hold on the the loaner for only 2 months . In my case an s7 edge. They said if I don't turn it in within the 2 months I will be charged for it. I can return the phone to any store.

Who's they? I still have my V2 and not planning on turning it in until at least the S8 comes out. But I wouldn't mind waiting until the Note 8 lol. I honestly think half of those burning phones were bogus claims.
My phone never heats up and runs really smooth, so unless I have to fly somewhere then this puppy is staying with me lol.

Nobody told me that I had to return loaner in two months. It was a mess then so I was told initially no timeline for that, though that was before Note V2.
I am charged for both phones' EIP, though I had a monthly credit for loaner EIP. Does anyone with Note 7 only have monthly credit for EIP? Or were you charged for EIP monthly at all?
Thanks

T-Mobile USA Note 9 50% off question

If I trade in S7 I will get the note 9 for $500 with 24 monthly bill credits.
My questions:
1. Can I pay off the note 9 few months later? (in case I want to sell it)
2. If I pay it off, will I have to pay $1000 or $500?

I believe you would pay off the remaining balance of the $500 plus any taxes. This would be the case if you still had payments on the old phone if you use Jump to upgrade.

If I'm reading the materials correctly, they are giving you a $500 credit which leaves a balance of $499 plus tax for the $128gb version. If you had to pay the full $1k then they are making out on the deal since you gave them a phone.

From what I understand the $500 is in bill credits, so it wouldn't be just $500 off.

Except that no other carriers are requiring those down payments. I can pay it, I just don't think I want to when switching carriers will get me the phone with zero down. Hell, Sprint is offering it for no money down and 20 bucks a month.

Could you point to the source? T-Mobile Twitter is telling me some other price.

Ordered through T-Mobile. Ocean Blue 512/8. Half off...almost? Yes please. Did not care for that huge downpayment though. :/

I hate t mobile and their bill credit deals. You really have to keep on top of them to make sure they give it to you and make sure they get your phone you turn in. I have waited months before to get this stuff straight in the past with other “deals.” This time I am ordering the unlocked version from Samsung instead. Screw t mobiles “bill credit” junk.

I just did the preorder and got the $500 off for an old Note 5 (yay!) as bill credits, EIP comes to $9 a month. Down payment sucked, but for $9 a month I will suck it up.
My only issue is nowhere did it ask me to choose my preorder gift. How do I get my headphones or Fortnite pack?
