Down payment question

So today I ordered the Galaxy S10 plus and im planning to trade in my S8 to get the bill credit and also the trade in value. I was told over the phone that even if I didn't want to turn in the phone that very same moment ( I don't want to be phone-less for 2 weeks) that I will still get the trade in credit towards the down payment which will be charged the day the phone ships. But today at the store I was told other wise. Can I please get some clarity?

  • Usually you'll make the down payment then once you receive your phone you will send your phone back in for trade in and see that as a bill credit with in two to three billing cycles.

    But I haven't "paid" anything just yet. I was told the down payment was 200$ and will be charged when the phone ships, but I want to trade in my phone as a "deferred" trade in. So I'm really confused as to what will be charged, 200$ or what is left of the down with the phones credit

  • Financeing high end phones is like getting a small loan for a used car I am customers how is far when a carrier for a iphone13 $58 down then 24 month payments/// I think tha a big downpayment customers might. Be paying more plus as soon as you purchase a high end phone it looses value big time

    if you can trade your phone to the manufacturer..  sometimes trade in value is higher and you just ship it to them after your new phone arrives. that is how i upgrade my phones

  • Don't have a iPhone to tradein. Point is when I finance a new iPhone look I am buying a new iphone13 not a used car get a used car loan the cost of the car is $999 your going to have a big downpayment what I just outlined is how T-Mobile sells iPhones Consumer cellular they use a easy pay program they make it easy to buy a iphone13 first payment $58 T-Mobile $167 or more anyways I see both sides of the issue!!! When I first looked at the way phones are financed I said I am I buying a used car or a high end phone.

  • When a customer financed a iphone13 and has a tradein iPhone do you trust T-Mobile to give you the right value of the tradein iPhone because apple gives a better tradein value or to me if you have a Goldman sacks credit card your first payment is far lower.please everybody look on the internet and look at customers reviews about financeing phones with T-Mobile the real reviews reflect everything you want to know!! I read the reviews I think to myself have people lost there minds I would like to see reviews that are %100 tryeful and. don’t hold anything back plus buying a new phone isnt a way to brag
