I have question regarding JoD:

we paid a $130 down toward the S8+ with $30 payments.

what's gonna happen to the down payment after 6 months if I wanna switch to Note 8? imagine if they don't return the down payments and as they collect anther down payment toward Note 8 after 6 months, so what's the point of leasing the phones from Tmobile?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] tnick84:
Didnt you say you would still be there on release date? Just pop into a TMO over there on the 21st. I know Oahu pretty well. There are quite a few in Honolulu...Then there is Pearl City, Kapolei & Mililani. Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I always went to the Costco in Kapolei because they always have additional promotions to stack on top of TMOs and Samsung.

Enjoy the trip! If you need any info about the island pm me.

Let me show you a simple math:

The lease total for S8+ is: $728.16

if you divide $728.16 to 18 months = $40.48 monthly

after 6 months if we upgrade to Note 8 we suppose to pay $40.48 x 6months= $242.90 and switch.

But, we paid $141.38 down payment + $195.78 (32.63x6) = $337.72 to switch by current plan!!!!

it means we have to pay $94.82 extra after 6 months to jump to Note 8!!!! I even didn't count the down payment they may require for the new Note 8!!!

Oh god within 2 months of getting my s7 edge I've ordered 4 different tempered glass protector and they all failed leaving with a bad taste over a hundred bucks down the toilet... please tell us if it's a lot of adhesive stickiness through out the protector which would be good and if it will be case friendly.... My wife will kill me if she knew I was getting an s8 plus and that I would have to start all over again with hunting for the right protection...p.s I've only had my s7 edge less then a month lol

I preordered the Plus and after playing with it in person, I went and cancelled my order for the normal S8. The Plus was manageable, but it just felt girthy. It's almost the width of the iPhone 6 and 7 Plus, phones I find a little beefy. I think the normal S8 is the sweet spot. The screen was just the right size. I placed it side by side with my Pixel and it was even more comfortable to hold. They were almost exactly the same width although the S8 beat it by just a few mm. It felt even better in the hand.

Sorry but that's just not going to happen. Doesn't matter how long you've been with them or how well your credit is. The down payment is a requirement for ALL customers. They will deny you every time trust me.

I ordered the s8 ship between 4/20 and 4/21. I'm coming from a v20 and to get a slightly bigger screen at smaller size device will be awesome. I never could find a TGSP worth a crap for my 7 edge tho, hopefully this one will have one available that doesn't suck.

I'd like to know to because I had to give them my bill extension payment (don't judge me lol) which was 139 for two lines in order to pre-order on top of the 130 down payment...so if I was perfect for 12 months with my bill I was told I would be able to zero down payment any phone lol but of course I dont pay my phone bills on time so what's the purpose of being 12 months perfect lol

Well, that sux... At the very least, and for what it's worth, I do agree that the likelihood of Gransfathering existing plans is high... T-Mobile has always done this in the past (to my knowledge), and I sit on the original JUMP! myself, with Grandfathered Data and Tethering plans... I can't tell you how upset I would be if some rep ever jacked that up during an upgrade or JUMP! Exchange... Are there different levels/versions of JOD like there are JUMP!s, or are they all the same as of now??

Not a thing. Got a random tracking number from my TrackPin for a FedEx delivery but referencing number doesn't turn up anything, anywhere. It's weirdest thing. I have FedEx/USPS/UPS go through TrackPIN and then it tells me when something is coming and assigns it a garage door code so it can be slipped under door. Weird that I got FedEx number but everything says it can't locate whatever to track package.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] ElBeaner:
JOD is all the same across the board

Up to 3 exchanges per "year"

monthly pmt is phone cost divided by 24 - lease term is 18 months so you have a balloon payment at the end.

When you jump, remaining amount owed on the phone is waived/forgiven so you owe nothing on old phone and just start over on new phone with a new lease

If you ever want to end JOD you either have to pay the current phone completely off or finish the 18 month term and pay the balloon pmt

The reason a lot of JOD customers are upset over the S8+ down payment

S8 = $750

S8+ =$850

S8 down = $0

S8+ down = $130

Why is the down pmt $130 when the price difference is only $100? Considering they keep saying they want to keep the monthly price point for the phone to $30 (the S8 is $33).

Most JOD customers will end up swapping phones within 6 months(probably the Note 8 or the iPhone 8(X)

So when you do the math

S8 = $33/month(not counting taxes) = $198 for those 6 months

S8+ = $130 down + $30/month = $310 for those 6 months - essentially making it $18.66 extra per month for that phone.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] tourbound129:
JoD is just one plan, no variations. I guess for now anyway. No telling what they might do to it in the future.

What's funny is they can't even get the reps on the same page for why there is a down payment. When I first challenged them on it, they were saying the S8+ is an upgrade to the S8. Now most reps say it's to lower the monthly cost. Ok, so then give us the option to pick.

The $130 down lowers the monthly by $7. If $7/month causes any kind of change to someone's monthly budget, they don't need a $850 phone.

I couldn't tell in the image because it was in chinese, but now having looked at my s7 Edge, even the photograph is showing the screen where the blue light filter option is available and it is clearly turned off so it isn't the filter.

The phone is the first to use "Deep Red" OLED tech, which Counterpoint Research analyst Neil Shah suspects is the problem, saying it can "make the usual whites look reddish" and calling it a "software calibration issue."

Blue filter vs. No filter on my note 7 ROM on my note 5... Fwiw.. can't tell much of a difference in the screen shot..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] siggystyle:
I agree with them, that it is a higher tier phone, I never intended to claim it was a "standard" device, but I do believe it to be an original device (just as the iPhone 7 Plus was NOT an iPhone 7 - Both being "base" models and their higher capacity options being considered the upgrades, My point being that the S8+ is NOT an S8, but both are base models of their own category - It just so happens that Sammy hasn't offered any "upgraded" versions of these TWO devices.... YET... Now when they launch that S8+ with 128GB and 6GB RAM, if TMO offered it, then call THAT the upgrade and require down payment!!!!)

****Although I did notice some fine print on the doc you referenced stating that 0$ down applies to MOST base models.... I think that is kind of shady, and while legal as is, can anyone show a contract or terms where that fine print was never there?? hahaha

I'm starting to think that those of us that preordered early and got the text saying that our phones would start to ship on the 19th won't get the UPS update until tomorrow, which would suck, because I am one of the people who ordered on the 30th, meanwhile my wife ordered last week, and has already got her UPS origin scan.

I think if that ends up being the case, I just won't pre-order again lol. In all honesty though, there has never been a true method that I can find of how they send stuff out. It's totally random based on where it is in the lineup. They don't put them in a nice, neat order to go out - so yes, it's possible because you pre ordered so early that you're really in the back.
