T-Mobile announces special iPhone 6s pricing for Jump on Demand

T-Mobile is so confident that you will be very satisfied with its cellular network that it will offer the new iPhones at a lower cost if you are willing to switch from a rival carrier soon. And if you are not happy with the quality of the service, T-Mobile promises to give you your money back in the first month or unlock the smartphone, free of charge, after that.

This "special introductory pricing", as T-Mobile calls it, means Jump on Demand customers can get an iPhone 6s for as little as $20 per month, or an iPhone 6s Plus starting at $24 per month. This is a launch deal, so "it won't last long".

After the promotion ends, the barrier of entry will be raised to $27 per month and $31 per month, respectively. (In specific, we are talking about the base, 16 GB iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.) Since the Jump on Demand program is good for 18 months, you would be saving $126 in total.

As you go up in the iPhone 6s/iPhone 6s Plus food chain, the monthly cost decreases while the down payment goes up. For an iPhone 6s with 64 GB of storage you will be paying $19 per month and $99.99 down, while for the 128 GB model you can expect to shell out $18 per month and $199.99 down. The regular cost is $26 per month and $25 per month, respectively, but the initial cost stays the same.

Things are similar for iPhone 6s Plus. The 64 GB version can be had for $23 per month coupled with $99.99 down, while the 128 GB model costs $22 per month with $129.99 down. The regular cost will go up to $30 per month and $29 per month, respectively, with the initial cost, again, staying the same.

This is clearly not a bad deal if you are looking to make the "jump" to T-Mobile. The carrier will also pay up to $650 for early termination fees and to pay off what's left for your old phone, if you want to trade it in.

For this offer, T-Mobile is relying on recent improvements it has made to its cellular network, specifically what it calls "Extended Range LTE". It is Band 12 support, in the 700 MHz spectrum, which is designed to boost indoor coverage. T-Mobile says that this is live in 170 markets right now, but it will go up to more than 350 markets in the coming three months. Obviously, the new iPhones support Band 12, so T-Mobile is banking on it to attract and keep new customers.
