Hello back-to-school special offer from T-Mobile as the company announces an “unparalleled promotion” this summer as it drops the down payment price on its entire lineup of devices in stores nationwide to zero down. This promotion allows both new and existing well-qualified customers to get the latest 4G LTE smartphones, tablets, mobile hotspots and feature phones at the upfront price of $0 down with monthly device payments. Still, there’s a bit of a catch as T-Mobile has bumped up the price of the monthly payments to offset the lack of a down payment. So, it’s a promotion and the idea of no down payment might entice the masses, but the warning is the increased monthly payment. For example, the iPhone 5 now sells for $145.99 down with 24 monthly payments of $21. With T-Mobile’s promotion beginning tomorrow, the iPhone 5 will be zero down and $27 per month for 24 months. That’s $144 thanks to the extra $6 per month which all but makes up for down payment T-Mobile isn’t asking for with this promotion. It’s funky math, but a promotion nonetheless. There’s still some savings on devices like the HTC One, but by and large the savings aren’t as “unprecedented” as T-Mobile would have us believe.
