The company said on Wednesday that when it begins selling the iPhone 5 on Friday, it will offer a discount for people who trade in their older iPhones. Customers can trade in an iPhone 4S or iPhone 4, for example, for the iPhone 5 at no cost up front, along with a $120 credit toward the monthly device fee. The offer lasts through mid-June.
T-Mobile is doing its best to lure away customers from rival networks.
But all there plans include a $20/mo iPhone surcharge for the remainder of the life of the 2 yr contract…ouch
Smart.
From what I heard you pay less over the life of the contract than you would for the device at full costs.
I wish them well. We need more good competition in this sector.
BUT, still NOTHING for us lunatics that bought, FROM APPLE, the un-locked iPhone 5 at retail to take over to T-Mumble for a cheaper rate plan…. What we got was the hose job of the century…
NO Firmware upgrade that would allow those iPhone 5’s to operate on the majority of the T-Mumble network on 1.7 AWS spectrum.. FCC approved the change WITH NO HARDWARE CHANGES.. Firmware only, but NOT for T-Mumble customers..
SO, we gotta buy a NEW iPhone 5 starting Friday – NOT.
