Buying a Nexus 4 full price at T-Mobile?

Seeing as how getting a Nexus 4 from the Play Store within the next month may be impossible, who here is considering / has already purchased one full price from T-Mobile?
To my understanding, they're the exact same units as the ones sold on the Play Store (not carrier locked)
Another little perk is that exchanges would be a breeze if there was some defect in the phone.

How much is the price for that?

$499.
An idea would be to start a new contract, then cancel it over the phone in the same hour. I think your total price would be around $400

+ tax and prorated cell phone bill for at least 1 day.

T-Mobile is $499 plus tax
Good luck trying to buy off contract at T-Mobile store, I found 2 stores in Atlanta that had 1 left and they refused to sell of contract. They said the first batch is for new lines and upgrades. I tried to get one of my cousins upgrade for t-mobile, but he was out of town and I couldn't get him to make me a authorized user since he wasn't the primary to account. You can try your luck, it might be a YMMV situation.

Prorated cell phone bill would be less than $5.
No tax here in Oregon, the only thing I may have to worry about would be an activation fee

Are you sure you're able to do that? I thought they would try to charge you the full month before canceling.

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?

Any product, anywhere in the world loses it's value after some time. What are you trying to say..? 5 years ago I knew if you want a flagship at half price just wait a year and get it.

Yes you are right that after year or two prices cut down but think of a person who bought Nokia 8 and next day it's price cut down.i am trying to say how does Nokia flagship loses its value just in two months.

So? What? Are you new on smartphone ecosystem? Almost every manufacturer pushes new flagship every 6-8 months, making the last one obsolete. 2 years old phone nowadays is very old, that's why no manufacturer provides updates after 2 years. (excluding Apple)
Nokia 8 is 4 months old, of course it's price has come down. First price drop of any phone happens 2-4 months after release.
Look at Samsung s8, it took only 3 months to go from $720 to 570, a price drop of $150.

Yes you are absolutely right.

No offence guys this thread is just discussion regarding price cut , don't get angry :highfive:

Pointless thread, you either pay the price when the device is relatively new or play it smart and buy it after the hype, I always buy ex-flagships for great prices and top features, currently on my LG V20, LG another brand which depreciates a lot. You need to wake up and understand the market. Not getting angry just annoyed at the clickbait-esque thread title and stupidity of it all. God help car forums if you buy one new from a dealership and look at used prices...

Nokia 8 launched in the UK at £499 just over month later you could buy it for £350 and now it is back at £499.
Some you win, some you lose.

Seriously why back to £ 499 ?

No idea.
I do know it will drop in price again and people will be miffed they have paid more for it but that's life with electronics. My Ryzen 5 1600 cost me £218 and it now selling for £158, it is just one of those things.

John Lewis UK - Finance Options available 0% APR

NOTE* - AFAIK THIS IS UK ONLY.
Hi all,
Have been looking for the best and cheapest way to obtain the 1+7 Pro, and seeing as I don't want to shell out £700 - £800 in one hit, i was looking at contracts.
However with only 3 offering the device at a minimum of £43 pm with £29 up front and it only being the 6GB Variant, i started exploring other avenues.
EE Will be offering the 5G Variant but I've been warned that there may be some kind of SIM / Bootloader lock down which would be a pain, not to mention that it's ridiculously expensive.
Now John Lewis are offering finance over 12 Months, and it's 0% interest which is awesome.
Here's a link with more info.
https://www.johnlewis.com/our-services/interest-free-credit
Bare in mind that John Lewis do offer the 8GB variant with 256GB storage.
2 year guarantee and it's available in 2 colours.
Not too shabby, just make sure you meet the criteria and your credit isn't completely awful and you'll be ok

I can't see any finance options for the OnePlus 7 Pro? Only an option to trade in an older device for money back? :/

12 months? That's quite a hefty monthly fee on top of your package when you can get a 24 month contract for the same. Sadly I already went with Three for the 6/128GB option, still loving it though.

That's just not true mate lool.
You pay for one year then you're done. Not 2 years. Plus it's you already have a contract like me then this is perfect.

LOL I know you pay for a year, that would be the 12 months contract...but that's you just paying the phone itself, not the package/sim to actually use it for calls/data/texts, you need to then add that on top. If you get a 24 month contract with a provider you get both the phone and the package for the same price as just paying for that phone. That was my point.

Do the math mate..
Bare in mind this is the 8GB model. So....
£699 over 12 months is £58 pm, nothing more to pay, that's cheaper than PayPal and spreads the cost instead of paying £699 in one hit..
Three offer the device and 4GB for £43 pm over 24 months is £473, bare in mind you will be hit with a bill increase each financial year. So it would be about £488-£490 depending on inflation.
X2 is £946- £980 bare in mind that's for the 6GB model and only 4GB of data on three who aren't the best network at all, possibly the worst customer service in the UK, that's not an opinion I'm alone in thinking btw.
I personally already have a sim with EE, so no need to pay anything more...plus I can sell my p20 pro and cut that bill by £300
That £300 could pay for another sim if I really needed it. Meaning a saving of £200 over 2 years Vs your contract and I get the 8GB variant, not the 6GB.. and a contract with a company who's customer service isn't the worst.
I know it's nice to rationalise getting what you got but no need to bash a finance option when there's nothing wrong with it.
More to the point it's a better deal than the one you went with..

4000 Reward Points -- DISAPPOINTING!

After I pre-ordered my phone directly from Samsung and saw they would give me 4,000 points, I tried figuring out how much this was going to equate to in dollars but couldn't find anything... then it hit my account.
$20??? Seriously?? 1% of the purchase price???? When I got my Note8, we got a much better deal on accessories!
I was hoping it was going to be at least $100 and apply it to an Active 3, but not now.

In india we do not get any coupons, but got around Rs.3000 (~$40) discounted from the actual MRP of Rs.150000 (~ $2000).

Sorry, I guess I didn't specify... Samsung Reward Points/

4000 reward points for buying the phone? I only got 2200 which I won't get until after 35 days.
Sent from my SM-F916U1 using Tapatalk

the samsung app tells you how much one point is in currency. that's your fault for not reading that beforehand. these points have been this way forever.

I got zero...you are buying the phone for rewards points? WOW. The points seem to be in line with every other "incentive" program.

I didn't get the 3k points had to call support they ask for my imei number and got my points credit in 3days
