T-Mobile Customers Can Now Enroll in iPhone Upgrade Program Online

by

T-Mobile customers are now able to enroll in the iPhone Upgrade program online, a process that used to require a visit to an Apple Store.

The change is reflected in updated language in the Apple Store app, which now says that customers can join the iPhone Upgrade Program online with AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, or Verizon.

AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint users have been able to enroll in the iPhone Upgrade Program online since the program launched, allowing for online purchases of new iPhones, but T-Mobile subscribers who wanted to upgrade to a new iPhone using the iPhone Upgrade Program could not do so online like other customers for previous iPhone launches.

With this policy change, T-Mobile customers who plan to purchase a new iPhone using the iPhone Upgrade Program when the 2018 iPhones launch should be able to do so entirely online without visiting a retail store.

Apple last year offered pre-approvals for the iPhone Upgrade Program, which allowed iPhone Upgrade Program customers to get through the checkout process more quickly when pre-orders kicked off.

Apple is likely to offer the same pre-approval process this year, which customers of all carriers will be able to participate in. Apple also offered Trade-in kits delivered by mail last year, another option previously not available to T-Mobile users.

I’ve been debating on switching to T-Mobile.. it’s just a tough jump lol... I know their coverage isn’t on par with AT&T. But AT&T has been slippin lately
With T-Mobile, you at least get WiFi Calling. My office is a dead zone for cell signal - an old concrete building with enough reinforcement to block everything. Two of us are on T-Mobile, the other two are on Verizon. I just hop on the WiFi and have plenty of coverage.

Can someone explain to me what’s the difference of getting this upgrade program versus paying T-Mobile jump program and paying a down payment and a $30 monthly there after for 24 payments?
You get AppleCare+ included, also you only pay taxes on iPhone thru Apple, no down payment

Did you sign up for one of the jump programs?
If so you’re half paid. Trade in, pay down payment and reset program
Yup. I checked with them. I’m good to go on launch day.

With the Apple upgrade program your phone is unlocked so you can switch to T-Mobile whenever you like. Unlike Jump your phone is locked. You can just pay off your phone if you like and sell it and start over again with the Apple upgrade program again. One thing to be on the look out for is T-Mobile sometimes runs all kinds of specials during new phone launches that could benefit you.

I switched from ATT to T-Mobile and have not been happier. Best move ever.
I second the promos T-Mobile may be running. I currently receive a $12.50 monthly credit and end up paying $5.42 for my device payments. Most people who received a launch day X still have $500 or more left to pay off, where as I have $250.
