Jeez...

-Simple Choice is NOT eligible. No, your account isn't special. It won't work. You have to change plans

-If you don't walk out of the store w/ the new Iphone in your hand, you will get bill credits. Which means you are stuck for 2 years and the extra you're paying for the line lessens this deal.

-Deal is $500 rebate for 6s phones, $700 for iPhone 7 and beyond. If you have an iPhone 6 or lower, you're getting no rebate. End of story. There are no loopholes or "what ifs".

-Phone screen can't be cracked. Not a "what about a little crack in the corner" comment. It will be rejected. Same goes for "what about a home button not working." Try it, but don't be surprised when it gets rejected. It's your $700 gamble. Stop asking if it will work.

-If your screen is cracked, get it fixed by a 3rd party place before sending in. It's typically less than $100

-Phone can be unlocked after 40 days w/ a request to Tmobile, and then used with any wireless service.

-Can't cancel line until you get your rebate; then go ahead and cancel or port out. Rebate takes 2-3 months to get

-Phone supports dual sim, so put your current ph# on the Esim (just go to a Tmobile store and ask) and the sim card with your new # in the phone. Yes, you can now have 2 numbers on new iPhones. Then you don't risk the phone # not being active while waiting for the rebate.

-If you want a cheap iPhone 7, look on the internet. Don't be lazy. Otherwise try a boost mobile store and read the "instore promo" offers on their website. Some are shady, so ask everything they're charging you for.

-Lastly, don't trust the Costco wireless reps. Hundreds of people here have done this and similar deals. They know better than any rep you will meet, as they've all done these deals.
Please make sure that you buy the phone outright, meaning limited colors and storage options.

My local store didn't have the iPhone 11 in stock and I was told I'd still get the GC rebate. After reading all the paperwork, when I got home, this isn't the case. Had to go back to cancel the line and wait for the phone shipment to arrive to go back and return that (which you have to mail yourself with the label provided). 2 weeks later, EIP is still on my account.
You are talking CRAP.....stop telling untruths.

This is ABSOLUTELY wrong

ANY listed phone, ANY carrier.....as long as its in good condition and not icloud locked

It has to work with T-Mobile's service.
I thought we could trade any working iPhone 7 that from any network and not just ones that work with Tmobile.

Simple choice plans are excluded, does it mean that if I have Simple choice I cannot get this deal, or does it mean that I can add a new line with eligible plan and get this deal? thank you
Add a new line with their new plan isn't cheap. You pay much more when you have to pay your original Simple Choice plan + Magenta plan.

We are on Simple choice family plan. There is no good deal for us right now.

So what would be the net cost of a iPhone 11 after doing a iPhone 7 trade and canceling line after getting gift card? What would be my service charges in total? Would I be paying for 40 days of service and I can cancel on day 41 assuming I get the gift card by then? Anyone can breakdown the final cost if opening new account and purchasing 1 phone?
Let us know when you figure this out. Thanks.

Are you referring the to trade in phone? Couldn't we just trade in any iPhone 7 from any network as long it is in good condition and cracked screen? Why would they need the SIM or any other account info for the trade in phone?

Rumor is SimpleChoice plans will be removed all together next month. I spoke with T-mobile regarding my account and she seemed to insist that I wait one month before changing plans. I believe there will be a transition to a different better plan for all SimpleChoice ppl. I'm not sure if anyone noticed but it was on there front page for a few days regarding a major overhaul in December.

See Below the plan is called T-Mobile connect. Essentially the same as Simple choice, even cheaper for me at 15 a line for 5 lines thats way less than I pay now with simple choice and it has added benefits.

Will the $15 plan qualify for phone rebates or BYOD?

Hope Sam's will match the promo

The $580 rebate was good, but this deal is great. The hardest part will be finding iPhones in stock in the Costco warehouses. Even then they may not have the color/configuration you want.
For 6s/+, the prior deal was better. For 7 and onward this deal is better. Is that correct?

Is carrier locked phones eligible for trade in... Say I buy a new phone or preowned clean phone from tracfone/straight talk/tw/ boost etc.

Will that phone is eligible for trade in with t mobile promotions to get rebate as it is carrier locked?

Trading in an iphone 7 gets you "up to" $700 back, however all the Costco stores near me only have the iphone 11 in stock and I think it's about $650. So if I trade in an iphone 7 then the most I'll get back is $650, right?

NO it's not. Where are you getting this info. Locked phones have never been denied as long as they meet other criteria.

Thanks for the advise ,does 32gb or 126gb matters?
No, because the maximum amount would be $700 regardless. Trade in the cheapest model you can find.
