“Three days ahead of Apple’s big iPhone launch, T-Mobile CEO John Legere announced a promotional payment plan that presents upgrade customers with an opportunity to own a new iPhone 6s for as little as $5 per month,” AppleInsider reports.
“An extension of T-Mobile’s ‘Jump on Demand’ initiative, the new incentive lets customers trade in their old iPhone for a new iPhone 6s lease priced at $5, $10 or $15 a month,” AppleInsider reports. “Owners of last year’s iPhone 6 only have to pay $5 per month, while those trading in an iPhone 5s need to shell out $10 per month.”
AppleInsider reports, “Customers trading in any other device rate the $15 per month tier.”
5/ On Friday, you can get the new #iPhone6s at @TMobile w/ #JUMPonDemand for $5, $10 or $15/month – depending on model and trade-in #BOOM

MacDailyNews Take: Here’s something everyone should be asking their increasingly desperate carriers right now: Is that really the best you can do?

Amen
Can he give me that in Canada? If yes, I’ll take six please!
I love that John Legare, I bet he would be best buddies with Steve Jobs if he was still here.
So, where are all those ANALyst that claimed the iPhone was very bad for the carriers? if that true, why are the carriers struggling to keep selling the iphone even that they no longer need to? Most of the so called “ANALyst” are just hardcore android fans of apple haters and they express and sentimental opinion and not a real investigation or fact.
They are busy buying an extra large tub of lube. Getting ready for the next round of ANALyst pounding! lol
Dang it! Just when I thought that keeping my ATT Grandfathered plan was cheaper, now this guy comes up with a killer plan! 😱
Ok, but as a ATT’r, how does T-Mob’s service/performance compare ?
Way better nowadays compared to 2007. I’ve just read that TMo have added more spectrum to their service.
I tried the TMo test drive last year in the SF Bay Area. Where it worked (SF, parts of the South Bay and East Bay) it was really good. Where it didn’t work (Marin, Lafayette, Sonoma County and the coast), it REALLY didn’t work. AT&T did (at least when I did the test drive) have better coverage where I live. As Jubei says below, maybe it’s better now. Would love to try another test drive to check it out.
You may want to try another test drive with the 6s if they have it still. The new 700mhz band is supposed to carry farther and go through buildings easier.
Hmm, they make it so cheap, maybe I’ll keep my AT&T, get a TMo phone and try it out again. Might be worth it to get out of the clutches of AT&T.
