yes and no.
JOD depends on your "credit score" and it's broken down to 18 months how much you pay with the last 6 months where you can opt out or buy the device outright, and switch devices without paying 50% or only jumping twice during a rolling year.
For example I am on JOD and my credit score is excellent. I put 0 down on almost everything(some high value devices down payment no matter what).
Also JOD doesn't have a payment to enroll in so that's at least $60 a year saved compared to being on any Jump(1 or 2). Jump does have insurance though and JOD does not.

How would one know one credit score with tmobile ?
-
From my understanding if you've been on T-Mobile for at least 3 years and never been delinquent then you are the highest tier. A call to a rep or in store should be able to tell you.

I did a chat online via support staff.

Did they check to see if you need to put down a down payment?

Also if you are on Jump and thinking about switching to Jump On Demand you need to pay off 50% of the device to do last I remember. That may have the cost the exact same and makes it look like you are making a down payment. If you are just going straight JoD if you owe money on a device and try to do another one there is a maximum amount you can "borrow" which will make people have down payments.

My current phone is on a jump plan but it has already been paid more then 50%. I just talked to another online chat agent , so this time I was told I had 0$ down payment for iPhone x. Now question is , can I turn in my current phone which is on a regular jump plan and has been paid more then 50% and still not pay anything by going straight too JOD.
-
Yes that's how it is supposed to work
-
Of course the last time I did just that was when they first introduced JoD.
-
I truly hope that I can do that. The online chat agent told me I would have two options.
Option 1: pay off the current remaining balance on the current jump phone
Option 2: continue to make installments on the current phone + also have installments on the new JOD phone.

You can always jump do a cheaper device like the Revvl and drop Jump and also get a JoD device.
You can also try and sell the device for what you owe on the device and then start a JoD.
T-Mobile did change how to switch to JoD. They probably lost a lot of money. Unlike popular belief carriers don't make money off devices.
If you're currently on an Equipment Installment Plan (EIP)
If you want to trade in your current device and you’re currently making EIP payments on it, you can still make the switch to JUMP! On Demand. To do so, we’ll first need to see how much of a trade-in credit you’ll get for your device. If there’s a balance still owed after the credit is applied, just pay off the remainder before signing up for JUMP! On Demand.

Hey, lumion! I know tidbits has been super helpful here, but I wanted to check in and make sure you didn't have any additional questions. To sum up; the required down payment amounts for EIP and JOD vary based on the individual account, and more often than not, they're the same regardless of the program you're using to upgrade. To switch from regular JUMP! (an EIP) to a JOD lease, the options that were explained to you are accurate as far as I know -- the only potential impact I can see is that if you leave the EIP open, it does use some of the equipment credit limit for your line, so there may not be as much equipment credit available for a new financing agreement (which might ultimately require a higher down payment). The other benefit of opting to pay off the remaining EIP balance, aside from just clearing out the equipment credit balance, is the potential to trade your existing device in once it's owned outright!

Just a quick update.
went to T-Mobile store and upgraded to jod on my line. Kept previously phone which is still on epi payments. Got the iPhone X for 0 down and 0 tax
-
you'll be paying the taxes with your monthly payment on the phone. i hope they told you that!!!
-
They told me it was like 42$ a month so I’m sure the taxes were included already on that
-
i was paying 34.00 a month for mine taxes included

That $38 is more than likely shipping and their "service charge" and not the tax. it's $20 for the service charge and $18 for overnight shipping.
