Upgrade Early

I want to upgrade and trade my phone. I still have a balance on this phone. Do i still need to pay the balance?

    The best way to find out is by contacting Tmobile support using messenger on Facebook or Twitter and they will give you the best answer.

    I have a similar question. I do not have the jump plan and have only had my phone for 6 months. When i goto my account it says I can upgrade and shows me a message saying the device i am upgrading has a payoff of $633 and that remaining balance will be added to my cart. The cart shows that I will be paying $3.21 a month for 24 months (I currently pay $0 as the phone was free on a new account)

    So, will I have to hand over that $633 upfront, and then they are going to charge $3.21 a month, OR, am I just going to be paying $3.21 a month?

    i believe its both..you’ll need to finish paying off the current phone which has $633 left on it and then the new device will end up costing you $3.21 per month. it was a free phone due to im guessing an add a line promo or something along that. so free but you must keep it for a certain amount of time before you can upgrade it..breaking that means the promo gets cancelled and you end up paying off what was left of the promo.

     

    i would still contact TMO like gramps28 said but pretty sure this is what theyre saying in your case.

    Yes unless you're on a Jump plan then you don't need to pay the balance.
