Isn't jump just a leasing program and you never actually own the iPhone?

If you DO own the iPhone then that's an incredible deal.

whether its lease or own, it's still a great deal.

I don't think so

$25 x 24 months is $600 so I guess if you have a 16 gb you have $50 as a last payment I'm guessing .


How is that bad ?


Plus on my case I put money down up front keep my payments low ass possible then pay off the phone within the first year . I'm trying to keep my phone till The 7 comes out . I shouldn't owe anything next year.

Because you're still paying $80 a month for your service, when the cost of that service used to include the subsidized cost of the phone. You're no longer paying for the cost of the phone within the plan, but the price of your service hasn't come down. Why is it the cost of the service in the US is damn near twice what it is in other 1st world countries? because they typically just buy their phones outright and the telecoms can't strangle them by the balls with these weird programs.


In 8 years you'll have spent over $10,000 on upgrading your phone and the phone service, they win in the end. Companies aren't in the business of losing money, if you think they're giving something away it's because they're willing to take a short loss to get you for the long haul.

Actually the cost of plans have decreased since they start subsidizing phone .

When I first joined T-Mobile the cost of my plan was $100 I now pay $60 and with the cost of my phone it's $80 .

My discount pays the taxes so I'm legit paying $80 a month .

By December my phone will be paid off so I'm paying $60 again till the 7 comes out next year .
