go with the CHOTECH 6 pack. Disclaimer I do not work for them, however I have reviewed many of their products in the past. I really like their cords, and I also trust aukey cables. I've been using both since the Nexus 6p was released. You can get them on amazon

Wow. How was it delayed THAT long? I'd be royally p*ssed and demand it be taken off or go talk to my credit card company. That is utter BS. I bought my S7 launch week without issues, and S6 two days after it came out. This is my first time ordering though.

---------- Post added at 03:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 AM ----------

I'm hoping it ships tomorrow. Since the weekend is coming up. If it doesn't ship tomorrow, I wouldn't expect it until next week then.

Even if demand is high for it, for those of us who pre ordered early before it was on backorder, there is no reason they shouldn't ship it to us who ordered first.

I can't remember the last thing I ordered through TMO and if it needed a signature. Kind of stinks if it'll go out tomorrow and be delivered on Friday in my case, because I'll be out all day on Friday and don't have anywhere to reroute it to. :(

So if it does get delivered on Friday here's to hoping it doesn't need a signature

They (UPS) left my Note 4 at a different house. Took 2 full days before they could tell me which address they left it at. Luckily it was still there. What I wonder though, is if they can tell exactly which address it was left at, how did it get left at the WRONG address in the first place?!? Wasn't even the same house number.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] UniX1rm:
If you signed up to the ups my choice, you should be able to see it when it is scheduled. You can choose to hold it at facility or actually delay for a few days, also they give you an option to oay a fee a send it to an address, they have an option to leave it with a neighbor. If you haven't signed up for it. Give it a go.

I find it really annoying how whenever I try to check the status of my pre orders it never shows anything. Just a blank section with the words "new device" . Anyone have their phones shipped out yet?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] trejojr88:
Just got off the phone with the tmobile rep he said it says the 8-23 because the device might be shipped the 19th and they don't do the delivery on Saturday and Sunday so that's why it has a date for the 23 because the overnight overnight shipping definitely going to the tmobile store the 19th if it not in by then to pick up the device in stores a pre-order is for a reason to get the device on or before launch date
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] stlbluesfan:
Oh I'm sure they do. UPS stops at our house a lot though because my dad orders sh** off HSN, QVC and that all the time so I don't think there would be a mix up with house. If that happened to me though and someone else got my device then UPS would be eating the cost to pay me back for it, and I'd contact my credit card company and dispute it as well.

Since the package wasn't addressed to you and if the person at the wrong house took it or signed for it I wonder if it could be theft too since it doesn't have their address on it and doesn't have their name on it.

I'd be more worried someone at the shipping hub steals the phones out of the package especially when you got a full pallet of them. I do recall when I live up in MO about 10 or so years ago a UPS driver was stealing firearms. He'd drive to his house and take the firearms out of the boxes. Eventually ATF rigged his truck and tracked him to his house and busted him.

I'm pretty sure they now have GPS devices on all these trucks. UPS drivers make good money and they'd be dumb risking their jobs over theft especially in this economy.

I did have a problem 10 years ago with Fed Ex. We ordered a reloader, and Fed Ex pulled up and left it on the doorstep to the condo next to us. No granted my condo is connected to my neighbor so it was only a 5 foot walk and I watched the driver and helper pull up and unload the boxes 5 feet away. They probably accidently walked to the wrong door.

---------- Post added at 05:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 AM ----------

So you pre order ahead of time, and now you get your device days later than when it goes on sale in the store? Tmobile it sounds like already has them in the warehouses. So they can't ship it on 8/17 and it gets to you on the 19th? That is a load of bs! All the other companies are getting them to the customers on time it sounds like. Did you raise hell with them?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] HtcOnekid:
Guys guys don't bother calling T-Mobile regarding any update or information about shipment they don't know crap, create your self a ups my choice or a FedEx account and as soon a label gets created in your name and address you will get a notification by email with tracking information. I have had back orders preorders arrive on launch date or before.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] stlbluesfan:
I don't get why they set these dates. Just had the unboxing event, and then let carriers sell them as inventory becomes available. It's not like they will lose sales over it and then like with the IPhone carriers get bum rushed the day it comes out and swamped.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] kirdroid:
Wow people just calm down ... You are going to get it before the 19th or worst case on 19th. Dont panic when still we have more than a week for the official release. I mean sure if you don't receive by 19 th, go to the store and see if you can pick up one. Then cancel the preorder. Don't see what's the big deal in keeping the preorder as is to wait and see what happens. It's not like some other carrier has shipped or other T-Mobile people got phones and everyone should be worried. Relax !!

strange, at 12:30 this morning I received a text from USPS with this message:

USPS Tracking Number Not Found - 3010011000xxxxxxxx. Txt HELP 4 help or visit usps.com/texttracking

I censored the tracking number. My USPS shows same thing basically. Don't know if it has anything to do with the phone but I'm not expecting anything else. I believe different delivery methods will have different tracking number formats, usually when I get a package from USPS the tracking starts with 9 and is a longer string.

No change in Tmo status

It happens every time there's a new device. From my experience, and like I said I go through about 3 or 4 phones a year, I'm a smartphone geek can't help it. But there's no rhyme or reason from what ive seen for the shipments. So guys be prepared, some of you who ordered day one will get yours after some of the people who ordered 2,3,4 days after you. Don't freak out.

Oh i see. The only thing i read you must trade in your device. I dont think they would pay top dollar for.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
Think of it as rent to own. You pay monthly rent to own the device at the end. 3 times a year you can give it back for a new phone and the balance goes to zero. You start all over with your new phone paying monthly.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] chispas109:
Oh the balance goes to zero. Great.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
Yes so unless you plan on keeping the phone until the end you can always just grab a new phone whenever you want to get one.

This is why JUMP! On Demand is important

Along with what was discussed here as well with JUMP! On Demand is a little loop hole that TMO has not closed with JOD! and might be the reason they are trying to move away from it.

Essentially with JOD!, as long as I have 1 upgrade remaining, I can walk away from TMobile at any time for $50... How? Easy. You simply just JOD! to a new phone and return it within the 14 day return period, pay the $50 restocking fee and you no longer have any obligation to TMobile. Funny enough, some stores I go to are use to this and will do everything in one transaction the same day. No other carrier has a escape clause like this for this cheap, unless of course you buy the phones at full price.

Also, this same loop hole allows you to reset JOD! as well. I get every new phone I want from TMO... Every second upgrade, I just pay the $50 and rerstart or get a unlocked phone like the OP3 for a little bit, wash, rinse, repeat... In a market where the phones change month to month year to year, its a losing battle to try to recoup losses on reselling phones that are fully paid off. I rather use the "rig" in the system currently, that is, until they close the gap.... :laugh: :highfive:

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] LuigiBull23:
Yeah.. That "loop hole" applies to each upgrade undwr JOD, including the 1st. So essentially, anyone can opt out at any time. All you need to do is simply trade in for a new device to bring the balance to $0 and get back that 14 day return period. ;)

As I don't want to get stuck, I cannot personally say that this is true but if you have gotten it then you are definitely lucky!!! I am still going to exercise the return "loophole" as I don't want to get stuck... I would be curious if anyone else has been able to just keep on JOD-ing past 3 per year and if it requires any extra work to get them to do it for you. I'm thinking you can possibly get away with this using a mixture of over the phone JOD upgrades and in-store ones... :good:

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] chispas109:
So, with other past releases, they have shipped earlier than official release date?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mahst68:
Here's the basics....

Tele-sales, the social media outlets (twitter & facebook chats), etc. plus stores can do it if you are already a tmobile customer without much more than a phone call to get some credit card info (uses it for confirmation of $0 charge). I keep 2 active direct message chats open on facebook and twitter and typically try both and wait for 1 to respond.

If you are a new customer, basically in-store (which they are actively trying not to promote JOD) and tele-sales are your 2 options.

You cannot order JOD through the website.

Once you place a JOD order, they take your credit card info as a confirmation then send you a pdf with the terms which you must digitally sign within 48 hours (obviously if you are in-store they do it in person ;:eek: )

If it is pre-order, it ships the same as a regular JUMP! order does.

Here's where it differs

When you are on JOD! , when you want to use an upgrade, you can order via the same outlets mentioned above but YOU MUST RETURN THE PHONE YOU ARE UPGRADING TO A TMOBILE CORPORATE STORE.... do not send it through the mail, take it back to a third party store, etc. YOU WILL GET SCREWED....

Every TMO Corporate store can do JOD! turn ins, even though their employees may or may not know they can, you simply just bring them the phone only, with your sim card still in it (they will need this in order to process a special return code) ... you do not need to give them the box or any of the boxed accessories (I can tell you this is fact because I have tons of fast wall chargers, usb-c cords, etc. from phones I don't have anymore talk about never needing to buy that stuff ever again... works for apple phones too!!!) last but not least, apply immediately for any special rebate items like memory cards, etc. I have already got rid of certain phones then received the free gifts after the fact without any problems, just make sure you fill out the rebates correctly the first time!!! hahaha

Good Luck! I feel you asking some of us will help you navigate becoming a JOD! professional like us to take full advantage of it

:fingers-crossed: :good: :highfive:

How do I convince the corporate stores that they can accept JOD trade-ins? When I received my S7 Edge, I had a heck of a time completing this, so I had to send the phone in myself by mail and it somehow got "lost" and I was charged the monthly payment for my old Note 5 and my S7 Edge. I went to at least three stores and they all seemed well, rather offended that I wanted to turn in my phone (as if I was trying to rip them off or something). One of the stores said they can't accept phones because it would make them liable (I didn't have any problems with that, haha), but the employees seemed rather young and giggled after I left the store, so I don't know if they were necessarily aware of the actual rules. I then went to another store and actually tried to be more aggressive about being told by a T-Mobile rep over the phone that I was supposed to turn in my phone in-store, but she said that they never accept phones in-store. A regular in-store JOD came to mind (and I wanted to bring this up as a contradiction), but it was obvious that she didn't want to take in my Note 5 either. Do you have any tips on what I should do? I called T-Mobile after leaving the store and that rep also recommended that I should mail it in myself, so I gave up on the idea of being able to walk into a store and hand it in. Sorry for the long post, but this really frustrated me and I'm dreading the thought of having to go through it again.
