You must have snuck by. I'd say that my salesperson might have been dishonest in telling me that I had to get the bundle if I wanted insurance, but when I went online, the $7.79 plan was not available, only the $4-ish security feature and the $12 bundle. So, the online options backed up what they told me. There was also some wording somewhere about classes of device that affected the PHP price, but I don't remember where I saw that. Jump! apparently came with a company policy change to do away with the device classes - that appears to be backed up by the options I now see online.

Now that I'm on Jump! I do see an $8 option, though, so if someone was "forced onto the $12 bundle plan" like me, there may be an option to switch to the new "phone class"-less $8 PHP and they'd save over Jump! Or, they could save over what they are doing now and also have Jump! Either way, they save.

For you, don't make waves and keep your $7.79 as long as they'll let you. Unless you like the idea of free upgrades twice a year for $2.21 a month...

Another way to look at it, assuming for simplicity that new phones are $630 full price and you can sell them after 6 months for $500 and their "new customer price" which you get with Jump! is $150. If you want to upgrade every 6 months, then:

Buying full price without PHP:

Month 0 pay $630 (no monthly EIP or PHP payments)

Month 6, have paid $630, get new phone for $130 ($630 for new phone minus $500 for resale) = $760

Month 12, have paid $760, get new phone for $130 = $890

Month 18, have paid $890, get new phone for $130 = $1020

Every 6 months you pay $130 essentially

Buying full price with PHP (assuming $8 version):

Month 0 pay $630 (no monthly EIP, but $8 monthly PHP payments)

Month 6, have paid $678, new phone for $130 = $808

Month 12, have paid $856, new phone for $130 = $986

Month 18, have paid $1034, new phone for $130 = $1164

Every 6 months you pay $178 essentially

Jump!:

Month 0 pay $150 (plus $20 EIP and $10 Jump! payments per month)

Month 6, have paid $330 + $150 for new phone = $480

Month 12, have paid $660 + $150 for new phone = $810

Month 18, have paid $990 + $150 for new phone = $1140

Every 6 months you pay $330 essentially

The Jump! person starts $480 ahead of the game, but erodes it at $200 per 6 months compared to the non-PHP person, they catch up in just over a year. The PHP+full price person catches up in $480/$152 (6 month periods) or around 18 months.

This Jump thing is just another way of doing a contract since Tmo claim to be uncarrier no contract Co. I'm sure next year will come up with something else.

There is no real commitment. You can get out of it at any time, you would need to pay off your phone. But you would have had to do that with or without Jump.

I too have a $7.79 insurance that was offered to me when I called to get a replacement for my s4. So I don't think it's a big secret.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jggonzalez:
I just got the S4 and signed up for the JUMP program. I usually get the PHP insurance (I've used it twice already) and the JUMP program included the insurance I was already planning to get. So instead of paying $8 per month for insurance, I pay $10 a month with the option to upgrade if I want.

So last week, I went down to my local T-Mo store to speak with somebody regarding the Jump! program here's what I got (cause these were the ones I had questions on and I saw others with similar):

For those that are new and have bad credit (like mine), where you're paying the full deposit, not the "O.A.C." $99 down, the Jump program is a loss for us as we've already paid for half the device already. Further, Jump does not lower the deposit, so you'll be paying half the cost of a new device and just cutting yourself short from finishing off paying for the first one at 5/8ths paid off instead of 3/8ths like OAC Jump! customers.

If you pick up a device on Jump!, and don't want to wait for your next upgrade, you CAN sell the device to pay off the rest of the EIP payments. After completing paying for the device, it does not matter if you are eligible for an upgrade or not, you'll be able to pick up a new phone, however it DOES reset the Jump! timer back to day 0, so if you're just a couple days away from your Jump! cycle, unless somebody really wants the phone, don't bother.

If you sell your device, but fail to finish paying the EIP, you cannot pick up a new device on the Jump! program as you no longer have the original eligible device to return. You must at this point, clear your EIP before you can get a new device.

If anyone has any more questions about Jump they want answered by a T-Mobile rep, let me know as I can just run down to the store since it's right next to where I pick up lunch anyways.

Do you get to keep the new phone if you completely pay it off or you still have to exchange it for the newer one?

I noticed you put the down-payment, and still pay $20 a month extra on the bill until the new eligibility date.

What's the point in paying off the phone if you can't keep it?

So I'm paying around $8.67/mo. for insurance from Asurion. If I pay another $1.33 I can get on the JUMP Program. That's not a bad idea.

Btw, regarding former Sprint customers posts I've read earlier:

LTE is being rolled out. You will have it very soon. See the coverage maps. Any month now.

They are upgrading the towers. You will have LTE shortly. We appreciate your patience.

Let me check your your area. Oh yes, the technicians are working on those towers at this very moment. Won't be long now.

By the beginning of summer, you will have LTE.

By the end of 2014, LTE will be completely rolled out, or was it the beginning of 2014, or was it the next Leap Year...... Hmmm......

2 Years & counting..................... .

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] dewd2:
Here's the thing about the insurance.... Had I been paying for insurance on 3 smart phones for the past 3-4 years, I would have paid over $1000 by now. I choose not to pay for this and have never broken a phone. In the event that I do break my new S4, I will have to eat the $600 and be "stuck" with my S2 until I feel like upgrading again. Plus, keep in mind, if you ever do use the insurance you have to pay $175 for the deductible. Unless you are a klutz, insurance and extended warranties are a waste of money, IMO.

Also, if you are on the new plan, you no longer have a contract. When you pay off your new phone, you can get a new one. There's no waiting. Remember the reason for the 2 year cycle was for the subsidy to be paid. Besides Verizon being a ripoff and ATT being robbery, this is where T-Mobile really stands out.

After much debate, I will not be joining the JUMP program.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cynagen:
If you choose not to activate your Jump! upgrade after 6 months and instead pay off your phone entirely either in a single final payment or going the rest of the term to pay it off (another 18 months), then you KEEP the phone as you've now completely PAID for it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Bowmanspeer:
I just got my S4 on the jump program. One thing you didn't mention is if you give them back the current device in exchange for the new one the EIP is cleared. I never thought about about about keeping this device forever anyway. I sure got tired of my One S, especially after 3.4 update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ITALIANNYC:
Considering I pay 11.99 for PHP now, there was no reason for me not to enter the JUMP program.

If I use it, so be it. If not, ill just finish payin off my phone, or wait till I owe like 200 left on it and split the difference with T-Mobile.

Did that a month ago and just got the GS4

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ThunderNoodle:
the jump program is similar to a car lease. it makes sense for some people, and not for others. if u want to get a new phone often, it's not a bad way to go. though not terribly cost effective, the jump program is a much better deal than competing programs from verizon and at&t.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] thinkjoey:
reviving from the dead...but this thread totally helped me out

I want insurance on my phone (Getting the Note III) but SquareTrade does not cover lost or stolen - one thing I am worried about the most because with expensive high end phones comes people wanting them

I ride public transportation and who knows what can happen - putting it down for a minute and someone taking it anywhere i go is a risk too

I did not want Jump at first till I found out that it comes with the insurance which is great. I would love to get a phone every year too - every 6 months is just too soon imo, but to have that option is great.

Most of the time if a phone is paid off I end up putting it away or giving it away to a family member...it cuts the need to go out and try to sell it and having ebay or whatever take a cut...and you do not have to go to some public place to meet up with someone on craigslist. I do not need the hassle...i just want to be up to date with new phones and this is great

99 dollars is a fee i can go with whenever i want to upgrade too.

awesome stuff

So I'm going to get jump when I get the note 3 just in case I want to upgrade to the s5 next year. But if my remaining balance is less than what I can actually sell my phone for to someone, I'll just sell it, pay off what I owe and keep whatever extra is left to help with the down payment of my next phone

If you have a Wells Fargo credit card and pay your phone bill automatically with it, you can get up to $600 coverage ($25 deductible) on the device, for free.

Can I use a wells Fargo debit card?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jimmynguyen91:
It has to be a Wells Fargo credit card. I have made two insurance claims and it is pretty easy. I got two Samsung Galaxy S4s from T-Mobile and ended up paying only $75 for each.

Here are the details: https://www.wellsfargo.com/assets/pdf/personal/credit-cards/CPPGuideBenefits.pdf

Basically you make a claim and buy a new phone, and they give you back $575 max because of the $25 deductible. I paid $650 per phone and they gave me back $575, which is $600 minus the $25 deductible. The whole process takes less than a month from the time you make your claim to the time you get your check.

Hopes this helps!

Does the Jump! program make sense for my situation?

I want to get a Xperia Z1, but it seems my only options currently are to buy an unlocked LTE version for $700+, or buy the HSPA+ version from Sony for $660ish. I'd rather avoid the full up front payment.

I was thinking of picking up an Xperia Z from T-Mobile (currently $20 down payment, $20 monthly device payments). The LTE Z1 is rumored to be coming to T-Mobile soon (I'm thinking within the next 6 months for sure). Does it make financial sense for me to pick up a Z right now, and then 'Jump!' to a Z1 after 6 months?

I'm thinking I will spend a total of $200 for the 6 months before I can upgrade to the Z1 ($20 down payment + $30 a month for installment plan payment + Jump payment. $30 x 6 months + $20 = $200).

I recently sold my Nexus 4 in anticipation for the Nexus 5, but with no official release date announced, and possible issues picking one up on release day, I'm thinking the Xperia route might be a decent alternative. I'm rocking an Alcatel Sparq in the meantime. :o
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Gam3r 4 Life:
I think it makes sense. Remember that Jump is also full insurance. And the full insurance on its own was 7.99. So your only paying $2 more per month to be able to trade your devices in every 6 months. And with the way phones come out so often its well worth it in my opinion. Just remember not to pay off your phone if you know you will be trading it in.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ryancstl23:
So here is my situation regarding the Jump Plan.

I didn't qualify for the 99 down, but I did for the $150 down. That + tax was about 200? I think. Being my first flagship phone purchase (was coming from boost mobile with an HTC Evo), I already planned on and got the $8 insurance. I have Unlimited data/talk/text for $70 a month and my monthly installment plan for the phone is $15 a month.

Soo, first off people think that you will pay 150 down and still be paying $20 a month are wrong. If you pay 99 down it will be 20 a month, 150 it is 15 a month, and 200 down is 10 a month. Just to clear that up for everyone's calculations.

I will be eligible for my first upgrade in February.

$200 (including tax) was down payment

$15 installment payments x 6 = 90

$2 (difference from regular insurance) x 6 = 12

Total by the time of my first upgrade I will have paid $302 dollars. <<<This is the price of a 6-month rental of the Galaxy S4 for me.

Then I will most likely have to pay another $150 down, Note 3 is minimum $200 down so who knows...

So 302 + 200 = $502 Total Paid in the six month period up to my next upgrade for the rental + the next Down Payment.

$502 + 102 (next 6 months of installments + jump differential) = $614 (If we aren't including the price of TAX, the total is $514.)

In all, I will be paying less than the price of one Galaxy S4's for two 6 month rentals of whatever the current flagship device I am wanting to own.

I will never own either device. In my opinion, this is worth the money for a few reasons:

1. I always want the newest device. I have never broken a phone before, so I expect that if I did own the phone I would still be able to use it 1, 2 or even 3 years down the line, but I could not get ANY resale value out of the phone 2 years down the line).

2. If I were to reject the Jump program and opt to try and sell the phone myself, I would lose money. Right now (3 months into the 6 month period), I can buy a used Galaxy S4 for $380, so by February I would assume it will go to about $250... or less. This would defeat the purpose of keeping the phone 1-3 years down the line too, for obvious reasons (I would finish my payments in about 2 years).

For a lot of people, I understand why this program would not interest you. I will be spending $614 on Top of my regular $70 a month phone service, just to have the newest thing. To average this out, I will now be paying a total of $120 a month (614/12months) to have the newest thing.

But to me, it is just worth it. I picked t-mobile to begin with because I would at least be paying $120 if I went with AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint, without unlimited data, without free hotspot, without these random joyous perks that T-Mobile offers.

Some of this probably was not written well, sorry :) But I think all the data is there and the math should be right.
