I am very interested at getting this confirmed. is it based on your personal experience or just what you think should work? please advice. if what you say is true, I wonder even i pop out the sim card and use it on different phone, the new iphone can still be unlocked after 40 days without connecting to network?
I just called Tmobile for you because I was curious myself and she told me the device you are trying to unlock has to be in use for 40 days.

I asked if it was possible to unlock if the device was paid off or used the sim card in another phone for 40 days, but she was telling me the IMEI on the phone you are trying to unlock has to be in service for 40 days in their end for them to unlock.

My advice to you is if you wanted to wait til Xmas, maybe don't use the phone until xmas, pop in that sim for 40 days after then unlock since you have to keep your tmobile contract for 3 months, I guess the time frame would work.

I happen to buy 3 phones with three new lines and transfer existing ones later in about a week or two as I am not sure if I am going to keep them. Would number transfers create a problem for the rebate/promotion?

Am actually thinking of doing this ...i called up nearby boost store for a pre-owned iphone and he told me i could get a 6s for $ 25 if i switch ..Boost website does list this offer.
Do we legally own this device and can legally trade in for costco offer ?

Did you actually trade in a boost phone for this offier ?
I was kinda curious to know how did it show up for cust rep when he entered the IMEI for boost phone on his device.
If anybody else can pitch in based on same experience , that can also help !
Ya.. we own the phone when you buy it from Boost. It's just that the phone works only with Boost.

And yes, I traded in the New Boost iPhone 6s. The 25$ deal is not for a pre-owned. It is for a brand new iPhone 6s. I got it from Boost, went straight to Costco to do the deal. When they enter IMEI and select boost as a carrier, system performs a check and tells them if it's valid or not. That's all they look for really

Will I be able to switch to the $25 Connect plan when it goes live? Or should I switch to Mint once I've spent the $580? Not keen on paying $70 a month for Magenta.
Why not switch to Mint right after you get the rebate card?

Thanks for the quick confirmation ! That was fast !
One more thing , did Boost sales rep made you recharge with a plan or gave an airtime card or something for later use and any activation charges etc. What was the total like ?
Thanks again for the quick reply !

No cards. They load the balance of 50$ right into your account. Total was 111.5 with taxes

This seems to be a nice deal and I have one family member that will probably take advantage of it. But I looking for some help. I have two other family members that like the galaxy s10 phones. They have S7 that they could trade in. Has anyone seen a similar deal for the S10?

Thanks in advance.

I'm at Costco right now. Rep stated they didn't have any iPhone 11 Pros in stock, and stated the list they have was up to date. I told him I had called 1 hour prior and confirmed they had 5 in stock. Another rep overheard and told the guy helping me that they had just got it in and it's not on their inventory list. When I was walking away I overheard the guy helping me tell another rep they almost lost out on a sale.

Same discrepancy between Costco store phone call and live chat. Told online they said they have stock. On the phone with the store they claim they don't have any

Depends on the rep. The official policy is to open and activate in store. The guy asked me today if I wanted to take home and activate myself. I said I didn't really care and to activate it in store.
