so you sign up for a 18month contract. pay 28/month. after you pay off half of the phone you can switch.
switching requires a new 18month contract and you lose all you paid in to the original phone and start over.
so its a RENTAL not a lease? im kind of not getting the plus to this.

Yeah pretty nice. Though they do this for the money and no it isnt nice. They just want your money. Paying per month or pay ones is the same thing. Plus this is directly for all the idiots who are to soft to resist buying a new flagship which camera is a little bit better.

Pretty useful for samsung owners since samsung releases about 4-6 flagship high end phones per year. Early adopters wont feel cheated for buying a samsung so soon

Hold up. Sorry if I'm misreading it, but say you pay $500 in your months of using a Galaxy S6 and you decide to jump onto a new device. Does your $500 that you previously paid go towards the "full cost" of your new device as well?

This new Jump program is cool but i bet in order to do this they start giving out refurbished devices (without stating that obviously) lol Say you get the S6 use it for about a month and bring it back to Jump. They grab your S6 and just refurbish it and give it to whoever walks in the door and asks for an S6 lol sounds logical right?

It is a " sellphone " business that they're doing right now. As a t-mo customer and was a "jump" victim, don't do it. There's always a catch at the end, I was on the " jump" program and then they moved me to " jump2" and by the time I want to "jump", then they said I have to pay half of the remain balance of the phone that I was using(+ I always paid 6 months of it as financing for the phone). Anyway what I want to say is at the end it will be very confusing and you'll wish that you've never sign up for it.
