T-Mobile removes $120 down payment for Galaxy S9+, but only for well-qualified customers

If you already placed a pre-order for Samsung's new Galaxy S9+ flagship at T-Mobile, then you may soon be able to benefit from a price tweak that will slightly reduce the price of the smartphone.

T-Mobile recently confirmed it has decided to completely remove the $120 down payment for Samsung Galaxy S9+ on JUMP! On Demand. Up until the beginning of March, the smartphone was available for $120 down and $31 per month on JOD, but the carrier will not be asking the down payment any longer.

However, there are a couple of things you should know before placing your Galaxy S9+ pre-order. Firstly, the $120 down payment was only removed for “eligible well-qualified customers.” On top of that, the JOD monthly payment for the Galaxy S9+ will increase from $31 to $37.67.

According to an internal T-Mobile document, the price tweak should be effective starting March 2, which means T-Mobile support will contact customers who already pre-ordered the Galaxy S9+ and tell them about the new down-payment offer.
